officer Freeman with right smart
exercise last night at So Main street,
and for time small crowd of spec
tators enjoyed as lively scrap as
one would care to see.
The officer had been called to the
place because it was reported that
Blumenthal was creating disturb
ance, and when he tried to put the
young fellow under arrest, the scrap
resulted. Freeman and Blumenthal
fought in a doorway and the officer
was obliged to club Blumenthal into
submission. Blumenthal was CORY
sight when the battle was over. Ac-
ccrding to parties who witnessed the
setto, Blumenthal flew into the Of

was some pumpkins at the pugilistlc
game and the officer had his hands
1 full. The officer dubbed him over the
Z head at a pretty DrlSk clattef, Dut the
raps appeared to have little effect on
Blumenthal. Finally, however, he

INJUNCTION
AGAINST WOODMEN
Court Action In Rate In

rUnited Press Leased Wire Service ]
DIES MONIES, April 3o-The in
surgent Woodmens law committee
this afternoon filed an application for
an Injunction in the state district
court to restrain the head camp of the
Modern Woodmen Of America with Of
fees in Rock Island from putting into
force the advance in rates which has
caused a near-revolution among the
100000 members of the order. There
are three grounds for the action &C.
cording to the long petition.
First is the assertion that the head
camp is illegally organized.
Second the head camp never
adopted the advance in rates in &C
cordance with it's own bylaws.
Third-That the rates are excessive
and ru&ous to the prosperity and
growth of the order.
A similar action will be filed by the
same law committee headed by c. w.
