WITNESS A FIGHT
General Dickson Refuses to Al
low Bouts in State Arsenal
at Springfield.

Springfield, Ill. May Crackers of
the pending boxing bill have been re
fused permission to hold their boxing
match in the state arsenal on the
ground that such an exhibition is in
violation of the law.
1t deveopeld today this is the reason
the exhibition will be held in Arion
hall instead of at the arsenal, as orig
inally announced. The change OF date
from Wednesday to Tuesday night was
made necessary by the change in halls.
Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson,
who is in charge of the arsenal, is the
man who interfered with the plans OF
the boxing promoters. General Dick,
son held that the province of the ma
tional guard is to enforce the law and
that if he allowed a boxing match tc
be held in a state building he would
be remiss in his duty.
In line with the stand taken by Gen
eral Dickson, Governor Dunno will mo-
attend the boxing exhibition, although
it has been arranged partly for his

Mrs. Winnifred Barnett of Davenport
was yesterday officially charged with
murder in the first degree for the
shooting OF her husband, George S.

In her cell at the county Jail. Mrs.
Barnett still remains silent as 20 the
details of the crime and has absolute
ly refused to make any statement,
whatever, as to why the shooting took
place. She has not yet secured an at.
tOrney and has informed Chief
Schramm and others who have at
tempted to obtain an interview, that
she will not say anything until she
has consulted with an attorney.
The body of the dead man has been
shipped to Streator, H., where rela
tives provided for the interment. Evi

benefit. The governor is favorable to
the boxing bill, but under the circum-
stances does not feel like attending.
1t is understood that the local author
tiles have no intention of interfering
with the boxing exhibition.
Those in charge of the match hold
that it cannot be Objectionable in view
of the fact that no admission is charg-
ed and the bouts will consist OF a linn
tied number of rounds Four bouts,
with Packey Mcfarland and Johnny
Coulon as the headIiners, have been
scheduled.
Most of the members of the legisla-
ture will be in attendance, as the ex-
hibition is for their benefit. Whether
or not Lieutenant Governor O'Hara
will follow the example of Governor
Dunno by not attending is not known.
1t is understood that special trains
will be run from Chicago to accommo-
date the crowds that will come down
for the exhibition.

BRUNER CASE TO REST
TILL MIDDLE OF JUNE

Judge Olmsted in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon, in making his
final ruling regarding the arraign-
ment of Sheriff o l.. Bruner to answer
TO the indictments pending against
him. asserted that no humane court
would force a man to trial in jeopardy
Of defendants health and that in view
of the testimony presented by Mr..
Burners physicians he was willing TO
grant the motion of c. E. Dietz, attor-
ney for the defense. that the case be
postponed for the term. States Attor.
ney Thompson, however, demurred
urging that the case be brought to
trial at once. The court then decided
that in the event that Mr.. Bruner con.
tinued, on the evidence of his physi.
clans, to be unable to safely under.
take the ordeal of trial by June Is the
matter should 90 over until the Sep,

LITTLE LIFE LEFT In
MILAN SEWER PLANS

Milan's hopes of getting a sewer sys-
tenn are not particularly bright just at
present Some time ago the village
trustees took up the matter and had
a survey made by City Engineer Wal
lace Treichler of Rock Island. A
meeting of citizens was to have been
held Saturday to determine finally what
should be done, but none was held, due
apparently to lack of interest in the
project as presented. The survey pro
vides for an outlet into Mill creek at
Fourth street The general desire
seems TO be TO have the mouth of the
sewer farther west There seems 10
be some doubt entertained by the cit
liens as TO whether a sufficient fall
can be obtained to give efficient ser
vice with the outlet so far up stream.

LINCOLN SCHOOL
TRACK MEET TO
Be HELD FRIDAY
Annual Athletic Event to Be
Pulled Of at Reservoir
Field.
PLANS FOR TRI-CTY MEET
Big Affair Promises to Attract a Lot
Of Attention From High
School Teams.

Friday afternoon Of this week, stu
dents at the Lincoln grade school of
this city will compete for track and
field honors at the Reservoir field.
Last year the Lfncolnites had a meet
and the results Of this project is
shown by the fact that two freshmen
are now on the track team and one of
the two, Wilson, placed at the Big
Eight held last Saturday. May 10 the
freshies and sophs of the high school
will contend for lower class honors
at the school athletic park. 1t looks
at the present as if the freshmen had
the meet copied already, but it will
no doubt prove interesting.
TRI-CFrY MEET.
Arrangements for the ui-cfty meet
TO be held Saturday are progressing
rapidly. Nearly all OF the officials have
been chosen, and up TO noon today,
both Davenport and Rock Island high
school authorities have turned in their
entry lists. II is expected that the
meet this year will be one of the hard
est fought of all local meets held in
the past. Although the local men were
beaten in points by both the neigh
boring cities at the Big Eight, they
are sure OF pulling near the top, and
hope 10 cop the first place honors.
The Rock Island teams have not won
the tri-city meet since the first year
IL was held, in 1906, when the local
team ran off with the big end of the
points, making a total Of TAR against
that of 3S which Moline secured, while
Davenport gained but q. From the
present dope worked out by local high
school dope artists, IL looks as if ROCK
Island will win first place. Davenport
coping second while Moline will LAND
In third position.
From present Speculations sport fol
lowers of the tri-cities agree that il
the weather Saturday proves favor
able, many records will be shattered
by athletes from the three towns
Chalk of the local school is conceded
the honor of breaking the mile anC
half mile records in advance, Will,
II is probable that the local relay
team, which won al Galesburg last Sat
urday, will also set a lower time FOL
