held to the grand jury this morning

ferred against them by ]. C. Weigand,

TO START ACTION
IN BRADY MATTER
Hart Introduces Resolution to
Force Removal of junk
Yard.
TAKE FLOOD PRECAUTIONS
Commissioner Reynolds to Receive
Money for Work Out of the
Contingent Appropriation.

Commissioner Archie Hart stated
this morning that instructions are to
be given to the city attorney to start
proceedings in an effort to force
Charles Brady to remove his junk
yard from its present site at Six
teenth street and Fourth avenue, to
some other locality, pursuant to the
ordinance adopted by the council at
a meeting some six months past, or
dering Brady to move by Jan. /.
Commissioner Hart presented a reso-
luton, accordingly al this afternoon S
meeting of the commission. He told
Brady this morning that action will
have to be taken right soon and that
delay will no longer be brooked.
Brady says he is still looking for a
suitable site to which to move.
TO CARE FOR WATER.
Another resolution presented by
Commissioner Hart asked that the
city engineer and commissioner of
streets be instructed to take steps
which shall remedy conditions such
as existed yesterday at Fofty-sixth
street, where the water poured from
the hill in torrents and so flooded
Seventh avenue that it was impos-
sible for people to reach the street
cars. The water was up into the
yards and conditions resembled an
embryo flood in many respects. 1t is
up to the Moline authorities as much,
and possibly more so, to see that a
remedy is secured for this matter.
OUT OF CONTINGENT FUND.
Commissioner Reynolds will prob
ably be allowed to use money from
the contingent appropriation to car.
ry out his street work. Resolutions
to that effect we're drafted for pres.
entation at the meeting this after,
noon. Though no amount was speci,
fed, it is probable that $500 will be
turned over to the street department
Commissioner Reynolds refuses tc
touch the appropriation set aside al
last weeks meeting for his depart
ment, because he believes that such
action would be illegal. 1t was the
! intention of the commission to SCI
aside the funds available in the con
| tingent appropriation for insurance
premiums, but agents have given no
/ tice, in most instances, that further
! time will be allowed for payments
/ 1t is probable that some portion o
/ the premiums will be paid at once.

DOES NOT KNOW OFT

When George Flickenger, 1909 West
Seventeenth street, Davenport, had
quite recovered from the effects of a
carousal, and woke up in the police sta
ton cell yesterday morning, he discov-

for physician. The wound was dress
ed and this morning Flickenger was
allowed to return home. He does not
know how he was injured or where the
accident occurred. Until this morn
ing he did not know that he had been
picked off of a bench in the Goble &
Stanton cigar store where he had crept
to snatch a little sleep. He was ar
rested by officer Furlong.

house and hurried to one Of the
neighbors, with whom her father was
visiting. After remaining there for
about an hour, she returned home
with her father. and on the way in
formed him that she thought some
one was in the home. Plenty of evil

upon arrival there. for the thieves

left little OF intrinsic value that
could be easily carried away Sew

missing II was found that the
thieves had done a little porch climb
ing, forced a window and entered.
little later, the police were mott

SECOND REPORT.
Soon after, the police received a
report from the Grimes home that
thieves had been there. II was found
that watch and two revolvers had
been stolen. II is thought that the
robbers are the same who were re.
sponsible for the series of thefts in
