w. S. Johnston. an employee of the
Rock Island lines at Silvis, was ser
iously injured in a peculiar accident
while hunting in the woods. Mr.. Johns
ton had shot a squirrel which lodged
in a fork of the tree and he was
forced to climb up after the game. In

the earth. a distance of about - feet,
and was badly bruised about the body,
while his back was severely wrenched.
He went TO work as usual on the night
shift at the Silvis shops thinking his
injuries but slight; the pain in his
back became such, however, that he
had to be carried home and physi-
clan summoned. 1t is thought that
Johnston has been injured internally.

INJURIES CAUSE
OF MANS DEATH
Lars Hillander Passes a Week
After Being Run Down
by An Auto Truck.

Lars HiIlander, the aged Moline man
who was run down and seriously in
jured about a week ago by an auto de-
livery truck owned by the Korn Bak'
ing company of Rock Island, died yes
terday after a week of suffering. His
life had been despaired of since he was
injured. owing to his advanced age
and the fact that his skull was badly
fractured and his thigh bone broken.
He was 20 years of age.
Witnesses of the accident which oc-
CURED last week, state that the driver
of the car was in no manner to blame
for the fatality as Hillander became
confused when crossing the street and
stepped directly in front of the ma
chine before the driver had a chance
to stop.
DR.. Meyers held an inquest over
the remains this morning and a YER
dict of accidental death was rendered
by the jury.

WOULD CHANGE TIME
OFCLOSlNG SALOONS

A number of saloonkeepers have ap-
pealed to the city commission to make
a change in the closing hour and allow
them to remain open until IL o'clock
at night. The commissioners are now
considering the matter, and will make
a report at a later date.
Under the present laws the saloons
may open at 5 o'clock in the morning
and close at IL o'clock at night The
Elan suggested by the saloon men is
that they open hereafter at 6 o'clock
and close at midnight, this giving the
same number of hours for operation
as now.
The principal reason that the change
is desired is because the saloon men
claim they are having a hard time to
keep up expenses

Property owners along Twenty-first

ter strenuous objections to the paving
of that street with brick. as announc-
ed by the city council recently, it was
learned today. The council and beard
OF local improvements have both
agreed that the paving shall be done
with brick The noise of traffic on
brick pavement as compared with that
on asphalt pavement is said to be the
reason for the objections.
The reason brick was decided upon
by the city council was because there
is to be no asphalt paving done in the
city next year and an asphalt company
will not make a bid on so small a job
alone
