These words, which sounded from

recently. caused the passengers to
turn TO look at the speaker. 1t was
the voice of the news agent, dealer in

Of court, 1t is the intention of Sher-
if o. L. Bruner to put an end to the
very common practice Of accepting

yesterday morning that in the future
he will make bondsmen schedule their

and will see to 1t that no profession

any, so tied up that nothing could

certain that they could not be held

If Sheriff Bruner persists in his in
tention it will mean that indicted per

they are out, the county can feel SAT-

DEATH SUMMONS
FOR A PIONEER
OF ROCK ISLAND
Mrs. Harriet E. Hoover, First
White Girl Born Here,
Passes to Final Rest.
HOME WAS A LOG CABIN
Childhood Full of Exciting Exper.
iences-Was Twice Captured
by the Indians.

Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth Hoover, who
was the first white girl born in Rock
Island and who saw the city grow
from a frontier village to the present
city, died at her home on Forty-f1fth
street and Fifth avenue, at 1925 this
morning of complication OF diseases
after an illness of but a few hours.
She had been in poor health for sew
eral years.
Yesterday morning, she was around
the house attending to various duties,
when she suddenly became faint. She
was carried to her bed and physician
summoned, but she gradually grew
weaker and all hopes to rally her were
futile.
HAD EXCITING CHILDHOOD.
Mrs. Hoover was born in this city
on New Years day, 1894, in a little log
cabin on the river bank near the pres
ent site of the Harms hotel. This log
hut was also the first house built in
Rock Island and was erected by her
father, James Thompson and Judge
Spencer.
During her childhood days the en-
tire country around here was a forest
the chief inhabitants being the Black
Hawks tribe Of Sac Indians. When
a child of IL she was stolen by the
Indians on two different occasions and
spirited down the river, only to be re-
captured and returned to her home.
On another occasion she was pur-
sued by wild hogs, the only thing
which saved her from death being a
fallen tree. She climbed into the top
most branches and chung there until
help arrived.
HERE LIFE TIMR
Her parents, Games and Caroline
Thompson, who were fasteners, came
west in the early eos to Green coun-
ty, ILL.,, and thence to Rock Island.
She was married to l. D. Hoover in
1851 and with the exception of two
| years at the time of the Civil war,
when her husband fought in the Union
n army, has lived in Rock Island. Dur
q ing that two year period she resided
G in Moline.
n She is survived by her husband, one
, son, James H. Hoover Of Lincoln
+ Neb., a daughter, Mrs. e. B. Chopper OF
2 Chicago and two grand children, Mrs
i Donald WATSON of Chicago and Mrs
Y Harriet Cropper-Johnson of Urbana.
a The funeral will be held Frida.
