OBITUARY
TRINA BoXTAELE.

On the eve of her recovery from the
effects of terrible burns which she
had received, which it was hoped
could have been cured through skin
grating, little Irma Boxtaele died We'd
nesday in Galesburg while enroute in
an ambulance to st. Mary's hospital.
Against the wishes of the local doc
tors and nurses who had been fighting
valiantly for the life of the child, the
parents came to the city Sunday from
Aurora and on Wednesday decided TO
take her home with them.
1t was thought that skin grating
would result in the recovery of the
child, but the parents, who are Bel
gians had difficulty in understanding
what the operation was for and de-
spite everything the physicians here
could do, the little girl was started
Wednesday for Aurora. She was
taken critically i'll on the train and at
Galesburg she was in such a serious
condition that she was started to the

The Twin-City Bowling league open

the olden days Of last winter, when
they chased al opponents. Lau of the
Molines took high single game score

200 pins in his first game. In addition
he took high series average with a
grand total Of 594 pins. Salzmann Of
the Cubs. although hanging up some
good scores, was not down TO real

his second game and grabbed a total

Ionic" Page, the whirlwind mat
demon whose wrestling has attracted
favorable comment throughout the
middle west is a Rock Island product.
The kid has secured the services OF
Ed Kelly, an eastern man, as mana
ger for this season, and several
matches are now being arranged.
Page broke into the mat game in the
spring Of 1911. Since that time he
has been pitted against such men as
Peck Of Burlington, Fischer, Sharkey
and K. o. Brown of Chicago, defeat
ing them all. His one defeat in two
years was at the hands Of Hurley, the
Albany mat demon a year ago.
Ionic" expects to wipe out that de.
feat, and his manager is arranging for
another match with Hurley, which
will probably be staged New Years
day. Page is training hard right
now and expects to be in excel
lent condition for his first opponent,
the event being slated for the latter
part Of the present month.

Countryside.

Rockford, III, Oct. 3.-Citizens of
Ogle county towns were stirred yes
terday by the announcement of the
closing of the Bank Of Creston, pri-
vate institution owned by George E.
Stocking of Rochelle, and carrying de-
posits of 100000.
The bank was closed after friends,
including former business associates
of Stocking, had gone over his finan-
cial affairs with him. They have ex-
pressed the opinion that his assets are
more than sufficient to meet all de-
mands. Persons familiar with the at
fairs of the banker are reported to
have figured his assets at close to
$40. 900 and his liabilities a little over
5000, 900.
Mr.. Stocking is perfectly solvent"
Attorney c. Z. Gardner OF Rochelle
declared.
Mr.. Stocking it is said has left Ro-
chelle on an automobile trip, on the
advice of friends. in an effort to re-
cuperate his health. He is described
as having been on the verge of nerv.

NAL was made in Rochelle that the

Announcement was made that Mr..

The Rock Island high school squad
is fit and ready for the battle with
the strong Iowa City eleven tomorrow
afternoon at Island City park. The
hnal scrimmage was staged last night,
and although Coach Corneal has not
actually determined his lineup, he
intimated that the boys who mangled
the scrubs last night would probably
jump into the fray as they lined up
last evening. According to this dope,
the predicted switch Of Kipp from
quarter to the backfield has material
tied. Luby. the speedy Milan lad,
will hold down the quarterback posi-
ton. although IL is likely that the
backs will call signals.
The Iowa City eleven will arrive
here tomorrow morning at II O'Clock.
