PULL OFF ROUGH STUFF

Working out your poll tax, Mis-

men Saturday night when they saw
Officer John Kinney removing obstruc-
tons to a Third avenue storm drain
following the rain of Saturday night.
The officer, not stopping in his work,
advised the pair that it was high
time that they were at home and in
bed and SO they marched along.
But they thought that they had a
theme for one of the best little jokes
ever prepetrated, and so they return
ed to the scene of labor and started
to pull off some more of the rough
stuff. The officer had just enough
time to drop his muck rake and col,
lar the embory Dockstaders and cart
them along to the police station.

them that the joke had been turned
upon them. They gave the names OF

MEANEST MAN GIVES HIS
WIFE BUT $40 IN 3 YEARS

If you were a married woman and
your husband did not even give you
$40 in three years and you had TO take
in washing and keep roomers TO make
a living, would you stand for it? Such
is the alleged plight of Mrs. Maggie S.
Cronnan of Moline, who through her
attorney, Frank Landee, today filed
suit for divorce in the circuit court
against her husband, James Cronnan.
The couple was married May 6, 1891,
and lived together until June 10,
1912. The plaintiff alleges that her
husband has been guilty OF habitual
drunkenness and has not supported
here. but instead has occupied his
time in cursing her. She asks for the
custody of the child. Nellie, aged 10,
and an injunction restraining her bet
ter half from coming on the premises
or disposing of the furniture.

C00NS MAY ESCAPE
FROM FRAUD CHARGE

Clyde E. Coons, promoter for the
Dayenport-Iowa interurban who was
arrested in Chicago Friday on charg-
es of obtaining money by fraud, stands
a good chance of being released on
that count, but in that case he will be
brought back to Davenport to answer
for the embezzlement of $500 from
the company which he promoted.
John Romano, Joliet contractor was
instrumental in causing the arrest of
the promoter. Coons. it is alleged,
pocketed $1,000 which was part of a
bond of $4,000 TO be given by Romano
to assure the completion of the ply
steal structure of the new line. 1t de-
velops that Coons had no authority to
either let the contract or to accept
bonds from the contractor. Romano
will probably get his money back.

OLD MAN FATALLY
INJURED IN FALL

William Petty. So years old and an
inmate of the county infirmary since
July IL, died Saturday night as the re-
suit of a fall out of a second story
window. Whether or not it was a case
of suicide, the jury which conducted

mine The screen in his window had
been removed 1t seems that the old

at night, and apparently he was indulg-
ing this when the accident happen
ed. AT any rate, he was found early
Saturday morning below the window
of his room, having fallen IL feet The
remains have been taken in charge by
relative at Sears.

ture apprentices will be enlisted and
will be taught a trade while in the
government service, a practice which
has been discontinued for some time
past. The boy must be at least 16
years of age and preferably one whose
parents are living.
In regard to the latter stipulation,
the local officer had the following to
say: Experience in the past has
shown US that boys who are under the
care Of a guardian are as a general
rule incorrigible. They make unde'
sirable apprentices in nine cases out
Of ten because of their disregard foI
the rules and regulations, and for this
reason we try to avoid enlisting then
as much as possible"
