grand jury which indicted him recent.

claims that the grand jury which re-

properly drawn. This morning W. G..
Allen spoke in behalf Of the motion
and States Attorney L. M. Magill
was heard. The latter did not discuss
the technical points involved but
spoke along general lines. The main
point in favor Of the motion is that
the jury was not drawn proportionate-
ly from the various townships as is
required under the law. OF the Is
towns in the county, only eight were
represented in the spcial grand jury,
while one precinct in Rock Island fur

in Moline furnished four.
If the motion prevails, the action of

superior court here must decide, and
on it's decision hangs the disposition
of fortune.
George w. Glover of Lead, S. D.,
the only child Of Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover Eddy, founder of the denomina-
ton, contends that Christian science
is simply a privately owned business
conducted for money profit. If he
can make the court agree with him on
this point, Mrs. Eddy's bequest of prac'
tically her entire fortune of 100000
to the First Church of Christ, science,

natural heirs.
In his petition to the court Glover
AYERS that Christian Science is not a
religion but is a world business, prl

owners for money profits to themselves
and that the execution of said attempt

by the creator of said attempted trust
to result in the private pecuniary profit
of the owners OF said business.
THAT the business described in the
petition-viz: the owning, vending and
practicing of the so-called religion OF

The police have captured the over
coat thief, who has been at work in
this city for the past two months,

in the act of pawning an overcoat
which he had but few moments be-
fore taken from. a down town saloon.
At the station, the man at first denied
any knowledge of previous thefts, but
when put in the sweat box, he broke
down and confessed to three robber-
les, and it is believed that before the
day is over, he will make a clean
breast of his entire operations for the
past two months.

At that time he came home, ate his
supper and talked with the family as
usual. About 7 o'clock, he put on his
hat and said. Il am going out for
awhile" and has not been seen since.
At first his family did not worry,
thinking he had gone to Peoria with
the Odd Fellows delegation, but when
1t was learned that he had not joined
his fellow lodgemen, vague fear
came over his wife and family.
Members of the family could today
give no reason for his disappearance
and denied that there had been any
domestice trouble or any financial diff
ficulties. 1t is probable that the aid
of the authorities will be enlisted in
