MOLINE

Junge, butcher, Tuesday fell IL feet
through an opening in the floor of
vacant room in the old postoffice build
ing, but escaped with a few bruises.
Junge was examining the place and
stepped on to some heavy paper, pre-
sumably a floor covering, but in real
ity covering for new skylight. He
was precipitated to the floor of the
bowling alley below, his head and
shoulders striking first. He struck
against electric light wires, which
checked the descent and perhaps
saved his life. No bones were broken
and his escape is credited to be mi
raculous.
Plucky Going Driver.-People in the
downtown section yesterday noon wit
messed the plucky effort OF young
teamster to bring his runaway pair
of bronchos to a stop after they had
dashed down hill for a distance of
six blocks with heavy wagon, minus
one front wheel. The young fellow
is driver for the Ewert & Richter
Transfer company of Davenport and
was in Moline making deliveries.
Just at the summit of the Fifteenth
street hill the right front wheel fell
from its bearings and rolled into the
street. This caused the footboard of
the wagon to drop onto the backs of
the spirited horses and seized with
frier1 ~ hA Il h. hi
The driver kept his seat and pulled
tenaciously on the reins and finally,
all unaided, when the outfit had
reached Sixth avenue, the horses
were brought under control. Calmly
the young fellow tied up his charges
and trotted back over the course to
recover the thrown wheel.
C. II. Adams Resigns.-C. H. Adams
of this city yesterday severed his con-
nection with the Marseilles company
of East Moline to accept responsible
and more remunerative position with
the Western Implement and Motor
company of Davenport. For 80 years
Mr.. Adams has been stakeholder
and director of the Marseilles Manu-
featuring company of Marseilles and
the Marseilles company of East Mo-
line. A large part of that time he
was secretary-treasurer and general
manager of the company. To Mr..
Adams, in considerable part, is due
the credit of bringing this large in
dustry to East Moline, he having held
confidence of the stockholders of the
old company to the extent of having
been appointed their sole representa-
tive in conduct of negotiations that
resulted in sale of the business to its
present owners.
Unite for Special SaIes.-A number
of retail merchants, who favor hold
ing of a series of special sale days
with a view to drawing outside trade
to this city, gathered yesterday morn
ing in the Office of the Moline Retail
Merchants association and formulated
plans for the campaign they propose
to make. The argument advanced is
that Moline is not getting what it de
serves of the retail trade from rura
and suburban territory surrounding
the tri-cities. Thus far % member:
of the Retail Merchants association
have signified their willingness to co
operate in the special sale days move
ment. All the merchants in the cit!
have been invited to participate. Spe
cial Sale Day No. has been fixeC
for Feb. 10-Saturday- and an ad
vertising and educational campaign
with a view to telling out of tow
people what a special sale day means
will begin Immediately.

San Francisco. Cal. Sept 21.-Some
enc has warned the governor of New
York that if Ad Wolgast and Packey
Mcfarland are allowed to meet they
may overstep the bounds of Frawley
law propriety and engage in a prize
fight.
The governor presumably never sits
at the ringside and takes little heed
in what is passing in glOvedom unless
some one nudgeS him in the manner de-
scribed-
In the present instance the governor
has written the boxing commissioners
that his attention has been drawn to
the facts.
At this distance it would seem as
though the party who has aroused the
governors fears is an alarmist and
it would be interesting to know what
impelled him to single out at the Vol
CAST Mcfarland bout for complaint.
Comparisons are always odioUs, OF
course. when New York could view the
slaughter of Carl Norris by Jim Flynn
complacently and could maintain an
equally calm demeanor while those
human truckhorses, Al Palzer and Bonn
badier Wells were falling all over eacn
other, it looks as though there Is moth
ing about the McFGTland-W olgast

defiance of the rules laid down by the

odd that Leach should offend in that

the beneficiary because Ground

1t has been said that fireman Jim
Flynn expressed a wish to be matched
with Al .Palzer, the latter said: Let
Jim Flynn go and get a reputation"
If Palzer really used the words, ne is
entitled to be known as an unconscious
-humorist. Flynn stands in the fore
front of white fighters today and the
chances are Palzer will never last
through half of what Flynn has been
through and continue in the business.
As a sample Of Irish repartee it is
often recalled that when one old sport
asked sneeringly: who has he metz"
the other party to the argument re-
piled, Who hasn't he metz"
And that's just it in Flynn's case.
Who hasn't he met? And of white
heavies. who hasn't he beaten?
Flynn is a ringman of ripe expert
ence and he has developed into a work
and san Francisco fight followers who
used to see him in action a few years
ago are continually talking of the i'm
provement he has shown.
1t is characteristic of Flynn's will

tivities that he boxed a worlds cham

later hooked up with big Charlie Mil

Palzer, no doubt, is a heavyweight of
promise, and If it is that those behind
him scent danger in a meeting with
Flynn, it is all right as the fighting
world wags, to keep fireman Jim at
arms length for while
But to tell Flynn to go and get a
reputation sounds like a joke
