NEW PLOW FOUND
ON RIVER BOTTOM
Dragging for Supposed Suicide
Authorities Uncover An
other Mystery.

How a pillow valued at $50 and of
late model manufactured by Deere &
Co. happened TO be I'm the bottom OF
the river at Fifteenth street is a mys-
terry upon which the police are doing
a little sleuthing. assisted by the Off
GERS OF the company which made the
implement.
A report reached the ears of the
authorities that a man was seen TO
jump or fall from the bridge and a
crew was sent out 10 drag for the
body. The remains were not found,
but the hooks encountered the pillow.
which was raised to the surface and
proved TO be OF Deere make and new.
Nobody has been found who Is able
to throw light upon the presence of
the implement there. One theory is
that someone took IL of a car and
dumped II in the river to conceal IL
till ii would be taken away unobserv-
ed. but this explanation seems far
inasmuch as the pillow weighs
several hundred pounds and could not
be handled in the ordinary skiff.

Taking issue with the statement

movement is supported only by few
self seeking leaders, officers of Moline
camp No. 80, NJ. w. A. ARE preparing
to make test of the question so far
as it applies to the local membership.
The clerk is mailing out cards asking
a full attendance at the meeting Feb.

the county camp in April. A test of
strength is proposed to learn if the
camp as a whole is insurgent in its
tendencies. the result being manifest
ed in the leanings of the delegate Sc
lected.
Officers of the camp say they are
for a moderate advance in rates, but
do not favor as big an increase as
those which the society has recently
failed to put into effect. Under the
circumstances the question arises as
to what an insurgent is-whether the
term means anything more than mere
opposition to the head officers
