in County Court.

Charles Nowak- and Charles Wesley,
Moline coffee house proprietors, yes
terday afternoon plead guilty to an
information in county court charging
selling liquor without license and
each was fined S100 ald costs, the

ing the same offense and maintaining
a public nuisance were dismissed

customary straw bonds" so popular
in the past Each of the defendants
in question were required to file bona
fide bonds for $2,1OO, the surety being
required to have unincumbered real
estate to this amount. The men could
not furnish this kind of bail and
rather than remain in the county jar
until the case could be tried, The de
PENDANTS elected to plead guilty. TheiI
fines were paid and they were releas
ed from custody.

if Harry Champlin. 1t was believed

MRS. ROSEBERG IS
MADE COLLECTOR
Named by Town Board to Sue
coed Husband for Unexpired
Term of Office.

Mrs. Hans P. Roseberg, widow of
the late incumbent, was named to sue
coed her husband as township collec-
tor at the adjourned meeting of the
town board last evening. This means
that Mrs. Roseberg will receive the
salary, while it is likely that she will
retain Bergstrom & Schrader to do the
work of collecting as they did last
spring. The term expires next April.
Two bills were allowed, one f
$109.75 for Office expenses, etc, in
making the collection last cpring, and
the other of $500 as additional. pay for
Assessor H. NJ. Oldefest. Inasmuch as
the collectors salary is fixed at $500,
though the usual percentage on. collec-
lions would amount to considerably
more, it was thought only fair for the
town to assume the incidental ex-
penses of collection. The salary of
the assessor, too, is small, being only
$1,000, and it will not be. increased
under the law till the city has a popu-
lation of $4,000. The work being heavy
it was decided to give Mr. Oldefest
$500 in addition to his regular re-
Enumeration.

SMALLPOX CASES ARE
BEING INVESTIGATED

Zach Einfeldt, supervisor from
South Moline township. has prepared
statement showing the expense of
caring for smallpox patients in East
Moline this year will amount to ap-
proximately $500. OF this amount
the city of Moline has paid s1,60196
and the county will be obliged TO pay
for the balance. The question OF
whether or not the county should pay
expenses In connection with smallpox
cases was widely discussed in this
county earlier in the summer, with the
supervisors contending that the county
is not responsible for debt incurred in
this way.

East Moline Commercial club has
decided to give up the booster auto
mobile trip to cities south and west
of here, which was to have been made
next Saturday. The trip will probably
be made the latter part of this month

being so warm as to make riding un.
comfortable and members of the club
being busy preparing for the smoker
to be held next week, it was thought
advisable to postpone the tour.

SUPERVISORS GO
TO BRIDGE SITE
Those Making Auto Trip Gen
orally Oppose Reopening of
Controversy.

Five automobile loads of supervis-
ors and others interested went from
Moline this morning to inspect the
Cleveland and Colona sites for the
proposed bridge across Rock river. In
the party were all TIE Moline super
visors, except Robert Pears, who was
unable to get away from business,
several from Rock Island, Supervisor
Zach Einfe.dt of South Moline and
Supervisors O'Brien and Odendall OF
Hampton.
The trip was made via East Moline
and Barstow to Cleveland, where the
ferry was used in crossing the river
The return was made along the
Henry county site of the river to Co.
Iona, where the ferry brought the
party back to this county.
Those who made the trip we're al
most unanimously in favor of the
Colona site because it will serve the
greatest number OF people in Henry
county and because it Is the more
easily accessible.
Question of location for the bridge
will be touched upon again at the
smoker to be given by the East Mo
line Commercial cub next Wednes-
day evening when a large number OF
supervisors are expected to be pres
ept to consider the bridge question.
States Attorney Anderson and Lev!

pected TO be among the speakers.
