COUNTY JUDGE is
A MICRIY ANGLER
Tells Lots of Stories But Has
No Fish to Substantiate
His Claims.

County Judge B. S. Bell is the prize
angler of the county. He established
his record at Lake Sneachwine, Put
nam county, from which resort he re-
turned last evening after spending
several days there. If Judge Bell
caught all the fish he claims, there is
little use for any one TO visit the
place, for the supply has been ex-
hausted.
However, Judge Bells wonderful
feats of angling cannot be substantial
ed by any OF the other members OF the
party. On The trip were Court Report
er Ed. Reed. Harvey Williams, P. r.
Ingelson and N. J. McEniry, each one
of whom alleges he brought home the
sucker" Judge Bell spent the morn
ing telling of the ones he caught, or
nearly did. and when any one ven
tured TO question 1t, he promptly de-
clared the parties guilty of contempt
of court
The journey was made in Judge
Bells auto. The party went TO Spring
Valley first. where Thomas Hoffman,
chief Of police, Attorney Gilbert F.
Wagner and Donald Franklin, mascot,
all Of that city. joined the squad. On
the way home Judge Bells machine
nearly broke down with the weight OF
the fish cargo but finally arrived safe.

ELECTRIC CHAIR
AT The STATION
To Devise New Instrument of
Death for Dogs-Shoot-
ing Tabooed.

Stray dogs, vicious dogs, friendless
and homeless dogs, and dogs whose
owners have failed to pay taxes, will
die in style If plans now considered by
Commissioners Archie Hart carry. Mr..
Hart has suggested that the city cleo
trician devise an apparatus whereby
the CANNES may be electrocuted. This
method will be simpler, quicker and
more humane than that now employed.
II has been the custom in the past
TO bring the doomed dogs into the pol.
lice station, tie a rope around their
necks, lash them to the steel bars in
the bull pen room, and execute them
by means of a 32-calibre revolver. In
many cases the animal jumps before
the trigger is pulled, and the shot goes
wild, necessitating more target prac.
tice. The howls and screams of the
wounded dogs can be heard for blocks
around, and are decidedly disagree.
able.
Commissioner Hart believes that
with the current used at the station
an apparatus may be devised whereby
the animal may be clamped down
after which the turn of switch viii
snuff out its life. Plans for the ca
nine electric chair will be drawn i'm
mediately.

ARREST WORKER
PHONE COMPANY
Commissioner Reynolds Causes
Warrant to Be Issued
for w. Voss.

An attempt upon the part Of the Tri-
City Automatic Telephone company
to renew construction work Saturday
afternoon was frustrated when Com
missioner Reynolds swore out war
rant for the arrest OF w. Voss, an en-
ploye. The defendant gave bail to the
amount Of 800 and his case was con-
tinued until o'clock this afternoon.
Owing to a delay of some inexplicable
sort, the case was not called for hear
ing as late at o'clock.
Voss was attempting to repair an
underground conduit belonging to the
Union Electric Telephone company
On Third avenue. The conduit had
been destroyed by blast exploded by
workmen engaged in excavating a
ditch for water and sewer pipe. The
Automatic company's men took some
new conduit to the scene, to replace
that destroyed. Arrangements for re.
pairs were being made, thus prevent.
ing the necessity of the opening the
pairing, later, so 1t was stated. Com
missioner Reynolds had warned the
company that any further attempt at
construction work would lead to an
arrest.

DUST RUT CAUSES

E. r. Roberts of Chicago and
Party of Friends in Seri-

While tearing along Ninth street
road about o'clock Saturday night
at terrific rate of speed, Z. R. Rob-
erts of Chicago and a party OF friends
met with a serious accident, which re-
suited in the front end of the car be-
ing smashed and q serious injury to
Mr.. Roberts who was at the wheel.
The road is very rough where the &C.
cident occurred and it is thought that
the car jumped into treacherous dust

wrenched from the hands OF the driv.
er. When the wheel was released the
car jumped to the side of the road and

Accident to Gas Bag Delays
Performance Landing
Successfully Made.

Charles z. Cole made his thrilling
balloon ascension and triple parachute
drop at the Watch Tower yesterday
evening before enc of the largest
crowds which has ever been on the
grounds. Owing TO an accident, the
ascension was not staged until 1880
In attempting to hold down the big
gas bag, great hole was torn in its
side, and some little time was con-
sumed in patching the leak.
Cole shot up into the air so high
that he was hardly visible to the naked
eye, and then turned loose his first
parachute, carrying two others with
him. A knife dashed to his wrist en-
abled him to Cut the ropes as desired.
Then No. 2 was cut loose and finally
the third and last. He landed about a
mile east OF the Tower without mis-
hap.

POLICE HUNT FOR
A MISSING Girl
Mysteriously Disappears From
Peoria-Aid of Authori-
ties Enlisted.

The aid of Chief Brinn. the local
police force and Police Matron
Schroeder has been enlisted in a
search for a girl who is wanted at
Peoria. Her name is Alca b. Jump.
Philip Smith has written the local au-
thorities, stating that he believed the
girl to be in this city. The S.:lice have
no knowledge Of her whereabouts.
Mr. Smith was appointed guardian
over the Jump girl and five Of her sis
ters some time ago. The sisters were
placed in a home. Alca disappeared
and all efforts TO trace here have been
in vain. She is the daughter of q
Civil war veteran and is entitled to q
pension. Before this can be secured
her signature is necessary. Mr.. Smith
received a report that Alca had beer
arrested here and declared a Deepen
dent, but this report proved erroneous

FIRE DESTROYED
BARGE COLUMBUS
Boat Used to Take Fight Fans
Down the River Complete
" Destroyed.

About l O'Clock yesterday morning
the barge Columbus. which has been
used to transport the crowds of fight
fans down the river during the last
two months to witness the illegal bouts,
caught fire in some mysterious manner
and burned to the waters edge. At
the time of the blaze the barge was
tied up between Twentieth and TWEEN
ty-first streets and the red glare in
the sky attracted many persons to the
water front thinking that the city was
suffering a serious 'confiagration.
1t is the general opinion of the river
men that the barge was set on fire by
persons disguised with the manner in
which it was used. There is no au-
thority for the report, however, and
the owners of the craft are of the
opinion that some careless person
dropped cigar or cigarette stub on
the floor of the barge causing the
blaze

PICK POCKETS AT
THE WATCH TOWER
Many Are Victimized Yesterday
Police Have No Jur-
isdiction.

That an organized band Of pick
pockets is systematically working"
the Watch Tower is the opinion Of nu-
merous citizens who have suffered
losses during the last few weeks. The
police have received numerous COM
plants, and yesterday the profession
al dips" were out in large numbers,
several people being robbed of con-
siderable sums of money.
Chief Brinn stated this afternoon
that although he had received COM
plants, the Rock Island police had no
jurisdiction south of Eighteenth ave-
nue., and that the matter was ostensi-
bly, up to the Tri-City Railway COM
pany. 1.-The Rock Island road hires
it's special detectives said the chief,
land it is up to the Tri-City Railway
company to secure proper protection
We can do nothing in the premises

REAL SENSATION
DID not DEVELOP
Burning Car Causes Excitement
Saturday Night-No
One Hurt. :.

A real sensation was promised shop
pers along Second avenue Saturday
night when an automobile standing in
front of the London store suddenly
burst into flame. 1t seems as though
the owner started from the garage
without looking after his supply Of
gasoline and when he was gliding
down the main street the machine sud-
denly refused to move. After looking
over the car mechanician from a
nearby garage was summoned and he
recommended that the tank be filed.
The owner of the car and the
mechanician started pouring gasoline
into the tank overlooking the fact
that the tail light had not been ex-
| tinguished. A few drops of the ex-
plosive fluid found it way into the
| light and before the pair were aware
that there was any danger the whole
car was in flames. Several hundred
persons rushed to the scene expecting
to find couple of dead men and see
real explosion, but aside from well
oiled street and a scorched car, no
other damage was done.

concession which was repeatedly and
quite properly refused as closing the
only remaining inlet for future rail-
roads from the west, is matter of
familiar local history.
II the deal is consummated, it will
prove a great advantage to Rock Is
land, as it will not only bring the
Southern passenger coaches into the
city proper. but will insure more fire.
Quent and regular service to the points
in Mercer county now reached by the
Rock Island.
TRI-CITY IN DEALT
There is another rumor afoat and
which may possess significance in
present developments and 1t is that
the Tri-City Railway company has ac-
quired and is still acquiring large
holdings in the Rock Island SouthN'n
and will eventually obtain possession
Of the road. In that event the pas
senger coaches would be brought up
town over the tracks of the street car
company, while the electric freight and
coal trains would travel the First ave
nue. route, which would be a most hap
by solution of the long and much yexed
proposition.
AN OLD ROAD.
The Mercer county branch Of the
Rock Island is one Of the Oldest rail.
roads built into Rock Island. Con
structed in the first place as the RocS
Island & Mercer County railroad and
operated independently, its object was
to tap the coal fields near Cable, and
later, when the Gable mines ran out, q
feeder was built to Sherrard where
new mines were bored, but these toe
have now been stripped. Eventually
the Mercer county line became a part
Of the Rock Island & Peoria and
was merged with the Rock Island wher
it took over the road a dozen years
ago.
There have been several visits o.
Rock Island officials to Rock Island
Of late and numerous trips have beer
made over the Rock Island Southern
in company with the owners Of thai
road.

Quarter Million Dollars to
be Spent on Struc-
ture.
FINE SITE PURCHASED
Rock Island National and Gen.
trail Trust Buys Corner Eigh-
teenth and Third Avenue.

One of the most important announce
ments in the local business world dur
ing the past year was made this morn
ing, when it was stated that the Rock
Island National and the Central Trust
& Savings bank had purchased the
site at the northwest corner of Eigh-
teenth street and Third avenue from
L. S. McCabe. 1t is proposed to erect
thereon one of the finest bank build
ings in this section at cost of ap-
proximately a quarter of a million
dollars.
The lot is one of the most desirable
in the business district, with 100 feet
on Eighteenth street and 80 feet on
Third avenue. The price per foot is
not announced, but of course a big
sum is involved in the deal. The cree
ton Of the new structure will do
much toward making Third avenue
one Of the principal commercial cen
tiers of the city and will be a sub.
stantial addition to the business inter.
ests of Rock Island.
TO BE OCCUPIED IN 1918.
When seen today relative to the deal
President H. E. Casteel said: I'VE pro.
pose to have one OF the finest
bank buildings in the tri-cities
AT least quarter of million dol
lcrs will be invested in the structure
We will build next year and will have
the place ready for occupancy Jan. l.
