AUTO OVERTURNS
BUGGY IN STREET
Three Men Thrown From Latter
Vehicle in Collision at
14th and 9th.
ONE HAS A BROKEN ARM
Mutual Confusion of Drivers on Corner
Might Have Had More Serious
Results.

Three men were pitched out onto
the pavement when an automobile
collided with a buggy at the corner Of
Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street
at 1880 last evening. One of them,
William Oldfeld, 1924 Twenty-third
avenue, sustained two fractures of the
left arm above the wrist. The other
two, John Oldfeld and Frank Carson
escaped with bruises.
Harry Barber, son of A. G. Barber,
POPS Sixth avenue, was driving the
automobile, which was a large touring
car. He was travelling west on Sixth
avenue. The other three were driv-
ing ,outh on Fourteenth street. The
bugg, was in the middle of the ave-
nue. at the crossin,, when the auto
swung around to turn north on the
street. The driver of the horse tried
TO get out of the way and the driver
CT the auto endeavored to miss the
buggy and in the confusion the auto
struck the buggy glancing blow, up
setting it. and then ran into the curb.
bending down a heavy iron post.
BOTH TRAVELLING SLOWLY.
Neither vehicle was travelling at a
high rate of speed, so witnesses say.
else the result might have been far
more serious. AS it was the injuries
received by William Oldfeld were
the only ones of any consequence sus'
tanned by any of those concerned
Besides having an arm broken, Oldfield
was cut and bruised, but not seriosuly.
He was cared for temporarily at the
Eagles hall and later taken home
The only damage done to the buggy
was the breaking of the shafts, while
the horse escaped without a scratch
The automobile was only slightly dam
aged.

DECIDE AGAINST
MOVING TO BLUFF
Swedish Baptists Accept Rec
ommendation of Committee
to Retain Church.

There will be no removal of the
Swedish Baptist church to the bluff.
At meeting of the congregation on
last evening the committee of seven
members named at the annual session
to investigate the feasibility of dis
posing o. the old church downtown
and purchasing a site for another on
the hill made an adverse report and it
was adopted and the committee dis
charged.
One reason given for the decision
was that the removal of the church TO
the huff would take it away from the
younger members, who are naturally
drawn to the business district and
while it would be more convenient
for older members who largely live on
the hill, it was felt that loss in in
terest and membership would event
ually result.
1t was announced that series OF
revival meetings, covering two weeks
arc to be held, beginning next Thurs,
day evening. They will be held un.
der the auspices of the Illinois con,

MAYOR MAKES STATEMENT

In a statement for publication to-
day Mayor NJ. r. Carlson assures the
people of Moline that they are enti-
tied to four-party line service at the
hands of the Central Union Telephone
company, if they desire it, such being
the terms of the company's franchise
granted in 1912. Solicitors for the
company here, as in Rock Island, it is
claimed, have given subscribers the
impression that the company intended
to discontinue the four.party lines.
John Gasnow of this city recently
demanded a contract for a four-party
line at the Office of the company in
this city and it was refused. He re-
ported the matter to Commissioner
E. L. Eastman, who took the matter
up with local representatives of the
Central Union and the contract was
duly signed.
