BRIDE ARRESTED
ON WEDDING DAY
First Night Is Spent Behind
Bars Instead of Cozy Little
Nest for Two.
LIQUOR CAUSES TROUBLE
Free for All Fight Is interrupted by
the Poliee-chiId in the
Case.

That ever green tragedy, Her Dark
Wedding Morn" was reenacted yes
terday in Rock Island. Mrs. Euphranie
EckeneIe was united in the holy bonds
Of matrimony cher second fatal leap)
at 10 a. m. A few hours afterward
she was placed under arrest, and in
stead of sitting by the fireside in a
cozy little nest prepared for, two, the
new bride spent the first night of mar
ried life agitatedly pacing up and down
the confines of narrow cell in the
city Jail.
In police court this morning she was
fined So and costs on disorderly con-
duct charge, and to top the climax, her
S-year-old son from the first marriage,
forever rCnounced his mother The
little fellow told the judge he wanted
to live with his auntie and not with
his mamma.
MOIST TIME.
Immediately after the ceremony, the
newlyweds began to celebrate. The
husband, according to the statement
of the police, set out in one direction
and the wife in an opposite one. The
two minds were possessed of but sin
gle thought and the two hearts beat
as one. The single thought was q
desire TO surround as much rich, REQ
liquor as possible, and in both in
stances the results were eminently
satisfactory.
Now it appears that when the bride
had imbibed several foaming flagons
the maternal instinct became predomi
nant, and the mother longed for hel
first born. The boy had been in the
care of his aunt for the past eight
months, and absence had made the
heart grow fonder.
REGULAR BATTLE.
Approaching the manor house oc
cupied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Eek
enele was admitted and demanded
that her son be returned
! Before the guardian pro TEN, Mrs
/ G. DeSmyle. would agree TO the ex
/ change, she suggested that there wa
a slight matter-that of an unpai(
| board bill extending over a period o
eight months-which she believed

munities. There are petty jealousies
and not enough cooperation-no COM
mon interest in the three cities.
We have a great community here
with a population of about 100000.
There are also three lesser communi-
ties, each of smaller population. Why
is it that the people of East Moline,
Moline and Rock Island forget that
the interest of one is the interest of
the others? There is so much in gen,
eral that almost any one can realize
what might be accomplished by or
ganization.
The speaker then related the needs
of the three cities. He stated that the
needs of Rock Island were those OF
East Moline and that the needs of
Moline were those of Rock Island.
For the reason that the needs were
similar the speaker stated that the
imaginary line at Forty-sixth street
should be forgotten.
81 am going to make a suggestion,
said Mr.. Brown, (which is wholly {
personal one, without the sanction o.
from Brown and Brown alone TIL
spirit of the age is spirit of gooC
fellowship. This suggestion today
hope will cause more neighborly feel
ings between the three towns.
ut is to appoint a standing commit
tee composed of members of the Rocl
Island club, the Greater Moline com
mittee and the East Moline CONNER
cial club The committee should bt
composed of broad minded men, Will
ing TO sacrifice their own interests fol
that of the three cities; men who arr
willing to recognize the needs of tbs
great community and men who would
talk over the needs and attempt t
provide for them"
He closed his talk by stating tina
with such a committee working har
moniously with the separate clubs il
each of the three cities, that the com
munity would grow hundredfold anC
would bring about neighborly feel
ing.

FIREMEN RESPOND TO
THIRD FALSE ALARM

Another false alarm at 1920 o'clock

long run by the central fire depart

noticed steam ascending from a roof
of house in the vicinity of Fifth ave

in the alarm a. that corner When
the firemen arrived they were unable
to discover a fire in the neighbor-

squad will clash Monday, and that the
people of che city are invited to wit
ness the affair. Coach HeaGrlck is
very anxious that as many as can
possibly do so attend this scrimmage,
as it will enable the bugs to get a
line on the prospects for Hendrix
winning state championship.
While Headrick is very well pleas
ed with the material for making a
good team, he stated today the pros
poets for winning the pennant are
hardly so favorable as have been re-
ported. He is not inclined to be pes
simistic, however, but on the other
hand, he is proud of the bunch. The
clash will commence at o'clock Mon
day afternoon and will take place on
Hendrix field.

BULLDOGS SCRIMMACE
DISPlEASES COACHES
BOTH TEAMS FAIL TO SHOW UP
AS WELL AS DIRECTORS
HAD HOPED.

Two elevens, picked from the foot
ball SQUAD of Hendrix College, were
sent together yesterday afternoon on
Hendrix field for the first rea lscrim-
mage of the season. Both teams start
ed out with Q large amount of pep,
but this prerequisite to fast playing
was soon sadly lacking, resulting dis
astrously from the spectators view
point. At times one man would get
loose from the enemy and chase down
the field for a touchdown, while the
remainder of his allies and opponents
alike would stand by, seemingly un-
concerned. The teams would line up
slovenly, without any ginger" what
ever. and, when the quarterbacs
would snap the ball, the combatants
would clash, but nothing further. The
entire crew seemed indisposed.
The coaches were far from pleased
with the work, and for the next few
DAVIS will send the Bulldogs" through
very gruesome workouts. 1t is very
likely the team will play a game next
week, and the directors are very
doubtful of Hendrix ability to come
out with the big end of the score.

waited patiently for the delayed Won
derful (O free street parade, and
the big but holey tent was crowded
for the afternoon performance, in
spite of the fact that wind and rain
kept all nervous.
While putting up the tent in the
morning one of the big centerpoles
for the main tent fell and hit Porter
Leitka, a Cherokee Indian, breaking
his thigh and throwing his hip out
of place. He was attended by DR.. A.
R. Bradley and later placed on the
train to be taken to the hospital at
Little Rock for treatment.
One of the shows main riders was
negro, Joe Picket, and he received
generous applause from the negro
section. but as soon as the show was
over he was placed under arrest, be-
ing wanted in Johnson county for as
sault. He was kept in Jail here until
the night train, then taken to Clarks-
vile.
Herbert DuVal, formerly an attor-
ney of Little Rock, is now general
manager for the Kit Carson show,
and he was also arrested under two
warrants one charging him with
running a gambling device at Clarks-
Vile and one for illegal cohabitatlon
at Russellvile His fines aggregated
over 500.
Constable Brit Jones caught one
short-change artist in the act ano
placed him under arrest, and other
minor offenses were committed, but
in spite of these small details we are
assured that compared to their De
havior elsewhere the show people act
ed on their best behavior here.

confidence games and highway roo
bers, says the GAINESVILLE Democrat.
1t is hard to say just how much Of
johnson county money was invested
in these things, but it amounted to a
good many hundred dollars. Even
the old "shell game, that in the mod
ern times should not deceive anyone,
was brought out, busted off and used
to gather in good many dollars from
the unsophisticated.
The games could hardly be called
"games Of chance, since there was
absolutely no chance for the player
to win. The element of chance was
totally eliminated. There were also
"short change artists" who gathered
in few souvenirs of the day, and a
/ fat fortune teller who would clutch
an open mouthed youth around the
neck and refuse to turn loose until
he shelled out dollar. The circus
was wide OPEN.
The custom seems to prevail in
some towns like GAINESVILLE of allow

preparation for the protection of the
lands from overflow. Mr.. Killough
says the money was evidently well
spent, since the appropriation was
made and spent in building levees.
He says that the statute governing
the levee board expressly states that
in a case of emergency or dire need
or any other deal where, in the judg-
ment of the president may deem it to
the advantage of board, he may au-
thorize an expenditure.
/ In regard to the other items men
toned in the indictment, Mr.. Kill
Tough says that the $3.50 was spent
for two trips TO Chicago and one to
st. Louis in the interest of the 1900
600 bond issue authorized by the re
cent legislature. lie says that afr
al. efforts to dispose Of the bonds here
in Memphis he made the trips at tn
advice of the Memphis bankers. The
law, he says, states that the president
shall be the financial agent of the
board, and if he was to be response
BILE to the board he certainly had to
make every effort to dispose of the
bonds.

for bringing such an indictment, but |

He refused to state who
he thought was behind the movement |
against the board. He stated that it
was his opinion that it was an at
tempt to discredit the board and Off

way possible.
He said that the mandamus to re-
strain the board from moving its Of
fees back to Memphis was entirely

Mr.. Killough refused
to talk about other phases of the con-
troversy.
The indictments were drawn, it is
against Eugene Williams
on the testimony of Mr.. Killough be-
fore the grand jury and against Mr..
Killough principally on the testimony
of Mr.. Williams. Neither of those
gentlemen went voluntarily before the
board, it is understood but were sum-
moned after others had been before
the grand jury to make the charges.
