USE INTERPRETER
FOR ALL TESTIMONY

The taking of testimony in the
George AznayoIIan manslaughte-

slowly today due to the fact that an
Interpreter had to be in constant ser
vice. The Witnesses are all Armen-
ians who cannot talk tie English Ian
guage and in order for the trial to 90
On the questions asked by counsel
must be translated into the Armenian
language and the answer back to the
English language before It is in shape
for the jury 10 understand Even then
there are frequent delays due 10 mis-
understanding OF questions or answers.
The defense has an Interpreter who
acts as q cLc"k on the one furnished
h- the state.
The evidence in the case thus far is
TO the effect that the defendant Asna-
vOrian and the deceased Tovmas Sya-
khan together with several Of their
fellow cOuntrymen, we're seated at a
table in the East Moline house where
they made their home quarrel
arose between Svakian and Aznayor-
ian and when the former drew a knife,
the latter seized chair and struck

BOAT CAPSIzES:
BOYS NEAR DEATH
Davenport High School Athletes
Narrowly Escape Drowning
Ferry to Rescue.

Three Davenport high school ath-
letes narrowly escaped drowning in
the icy waters of the Mississippi this
afternoon about 2:3O when their sail
boat capsized, precipitating them into
the river. All of them managed to
reach the overturned craft to which
they clung until the ferry dashed down
stream and rescued them from their
perilous predicament They were
Paul Shinn, Earl Lantz and Russell
Dorg.
The boys started out feom the Dav-
enport shore about 2:15 and had al
most reached the Illinois side, when
for some inexplicable reason the boat
suddenly overturned. The shouts of
terror were heard by people nearby,
and within a few minutes the Rock
Island police station was besieged with
calls, asking aid for the boys. The
ferry boat was pressed into service
and made the trip down stream to the
foot of Sixteenth street in short order.
Although badly chilled by their stay
in the water. II is not believed that
any of the boys are much the worse
for their mishap.

OLD RIVER TOWN
is MOVING BACK
Ancient City Giving Way to a
New One Above Keokuk
Lake.

The old town Of Montrose-the city
which the Mormons knew. and which
before the days of the government
canal along the Des Moines rapids,
was one of the interesting shipping
points on the river, and enjoyed the
reputation of being the wickedest city
on the Mississippi-has about disap-
peared a new Montrose is taking its
place further back on the uplands
safely out Of the way of the waters
which, when the water power dam at
Keolluk is finished. will back up over
most Of the site of the present city.
All the river front is gone but the de
pot and the two brick buildings oppo-
site the old bank building.
Then comes the high railway grade
and on the upper end of First street
all the houses have been removed from
the block between First and Water
streets The Masonic hall has been
torn down and only two buildings
stand between First street and the riv.
er north of the alley.
The Burlington railway company is
now laying the track on its new rail
way bed, and in a few days the trains
will be running On the high track. The
appearance of the old town is wholly
changed, and any of the former inhabi
tants could they come back and view
1 the place would be filed with sur
prise. Nothing will be left along the
river front in a few weeks. The Mon
/ tTOse Journal sees prosperity in the
/ change. It says: Here is where We
take our new start. The river anC
railway will both contribute 10 this end
