Two men FIGHT
over A WOMAN

A bottle of beer and woman caused
a slight argument between Charles
Larkin of Davenport and Earl Martin
of Moline in Rock Island yesterday
morning, and as a result, Larkin is in
the county jail today, awaiting hear
ing tomorrow morning on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon. He is
being held under bonds of $500 in the
police court. Larkin was arrested last
night by Officer Kinney on a warrant
sworn out by Martin. This morning
he plead self defense and further stat
ed that he would lodge charges against
Martin at the proper time, averring
that Martin was the aggressor. He
says that he thinks the complainant
against him carried gun, too, and if
he did, that will be another charge.
Late Tuesday night, rather, yester-
day morning, the two fellows met in
an alley between Third and Fourth
avenues and east of Twenty-second
street. The argument started and the
fight followed. Larkin carried cane
When the argument waxed hot, he
used the cane and yesterday morning
Martin displayed a scalp wound to
show for the blow.

between 400 and 500 pounds, probably
nearer the latter figure than the for
mer. He was unlike the ordinary fat
man in having proportions nearly in
accord with his enormous weight, and
this made it necessary to send to Chi
cago and have special casket made
for him. Putting the remains in the
casket was no easy task, but getting
the casket out of the house was even
harder. A way was finally found, how.
ever, and then eight pallbearers car.
