DIVISION REMOVAL

The division headquarters of the
Rock Island road will not be moved
away from this city without fight.
Influence will be brought to bear upon
the road officials in an effort to keep in
this city what is already here and it
is believed that the effort will be sue
cessful. President H. E. Casteel Of the
Rock Island club announced this morn
ing that he would appoint committee
to wait upon the heads of the Rock
Island and inquire into the proposed
plan and make such objections to it as
are permissible. 81 knew nothing OF
the proposal on the part of the road
until l read it last evening in The Ar.
gus" said Mr.. Casteel, land at once
took steps to inquire into 1t and pre-
vent its consummation If possible. We
must keep what we have here and add
to 1t If possible, rather than let any
thing get away from here"

Three students, Patrick Sexton,
Louis Dripps, and Arthur Hinkly,
were suspended from the high school
