Property Owners Call Attention
to Danger to Their Homes

Residents of the extreme east end
of the city are much alarmed over
danger of fire starting in the weeds
which have grown luxuriantly all sum-
mer and which are now drying out, so
that it will soon be an easy matter to
start blaze anywhere. Numerous
complaints have been received by the
police and health and safety depart
melts.
Most of them come from the vicinity
of Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth streets.
There are several acres of weeds from
form four to six feet in height. There
During the summer they were simply
an inconvenience but now they are be-
coming a positive menace. Should a
spark from a passing locomotive fail
among them when it, is dry and 4
strong wind is blowing a fire would
be started which would endanger
many houses in that vicinity. Being
remote from the nearest fire station
and the water supply being scare com

FREE PHONE SERVICE

Free service to the village of Water
town is refused by the Central Union
Telephone company. which is seeking
a franchise there. 1t is claimed by Of
ficers of the company tina: free phones
will have to be eliminated the first OF
the year when the public utilities law
goes into effect, and this is the reason
that the provision in the franchise is
opposed 1t is possible, they assert,
that contracts with other cities and
villages where free phones are given
for official purposes will be invali-
dated. Waterfowl demands $1,000 as
a cash bonus from the company and
this also is refused.

ATTEMPT TO Die
TOO SUCCESSFUL
Negro Prisoner in City Jail Re-
grets Effort After It
Is too Late.
BUT SERGEANT SAVES HIM
Rope Made From Shirt and Tied to
Bottom of Bunk Nearly Did
the Deadly Work.

Life is great deal sweeter today
to John Davis, colored, than it was
last night. when he was arrested after
complaint had been lodged against
him by his wife. Anyway, the next
time he tries to escape the sorrows of
this life he will take some other meth
Cd than hanging to bunk in the po-
lice station.
Davis made a bona fide attempt at
self-destruction early this morning,
and it was too much CT success. He
tore strip from the tail of his cot
ton, shirt and twisted it UP for rope
In his cell were two hunks, one above
the other. He knotted his improvised
rope around his neck, fastening it with
slip-knct. The other end he tied to
the bottom of the upper bunk. Then
he lay down, face toward the floor, ap-
parently bent on easily and quietly
leaving this vale of tears.
The device was quite efficient. His
weight frightened the knot and the
cloth held. His wind was shut off and
| he began % choke. 1t was not pleas
| ant sensation and so Davis began to
regret his haste. He flCundered and
| kicked in an effort to free himself, but
he was in an awkward position and
was unable to ease on the rope sui
| ficiently to loosen the knot. Then he
tried 20 cry out, but only a gurglihg
sound came.

Mrs. Davis, however, asserted that

WORKERS STRIKE
A Vein OF COAL

Yesterday, while workmen were dig
ging a we'll on the farm of Theodore
Whitbeck at Coaltown, situated about
five miles southeast of Moline, they
struck coal vein. six feet in thick
ness. Water started to come up before
they had an opportunity to make a
thorough investigation, but it is
thought probable that the vein dips
far under the hills along the Rock
river valley. This locality was mined
many years ago. but most of the coal
was found higher upon the hills. This
may be the opening of new fields, but
in the opinion of some, the vein dis.
covered yesterday is a remnant of a
mine in operation there half century
ago, having shifted from top Of the
hill, due to disturbances in the earth.
