NOTICE STARTS
MUCH TROUBLE
Sign Tackled on Door of Owls
Lodge Room Starts a Big
Rumpus.

Several members OF the Rock Island
Nest. order OF Owls. were al
ged to be quarreling on the street
late Saturday night, when they
were taken TO the station by a
policeman, who happened by at
the time. 1t seems that the trouble
started over a notice which had been
posted on the door of the lodge rooms.
The sign read something like this:
25 MEN WANTED

William McDouGal claims that the

that a lieutenant of McDougaI-s had
seen one OF the opposing forces tack
ing said notice on the door.
The affair wound up at the police

geant Charles Bleuer warned the men
TO stop quarreling on The streets and to
settle their affairs in the lodge rooms

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 19.-The an
nouncement by Senator Joseph L. Bris-
tow that he will stick with the repub-
lican party means that Congressman
Victor Murdoch will run for the Unit
ed States senate next fall on the pro-
gressive ticket. Had Bristow deter
mined to cast his fortunes with the
progressives, Murdoch would have re-
manned out of the race.
There is nothing to be gained by
turning to a party, the members of
which may be ever so progressive,
when it is advocating the same things
that the majority of the republicans
of the party are standing for" recent
ly declared Mr.. Bristow. Il am fully
convinced that the republican party
will be able to handle the present sit
uation."
In other days Bristow and Murdoch
were great political friends and work
ed shoulder to shoulder. But follow
ing the republican convention of 1912
Murdoch left the republican party.
Bris ,ow stayed on the fence, although
he supported Roosevelt in the 1912
Murdoch insists that the
party is dead, and that the
new progressive party will take its
place.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT

Action for $4,000 Against the

HAD ACCIDENT AT MILAN
J. II. MeGaffin, Defendant, Seriously
Injured When Paragraph Came
in Contact With Trolley.

The personal injury suit of Joseph
II. McGaffin of Monmouth against the
Rock Island Southern railway to re
cover S25,00O damages, and which was
set for trial at this term of court, has
been settled out of court at the Maple
City. Although the terms of settle
ment were not given out for publica-
ton, it is understood a compromise
was effected at figure agreeable to
all parties concerned. Mr.. McGaffin's
interests have been in the hands of

Hurt at Milan.
The accident which resulted in the
filing of the suit happened at Milan
on the north line May IL, 1912,
when Mr.. McGaffn. who was a motor
man for the defendant company, was
on the top of a car working on the
paragraph. In some manner the end
of the paragraph. after it had been
loosened by the motorman, came in
contact with the trolley wire and the
electric shock hurled Mr.. McGaffin to
the ground He fell on his back on
the end of the timbers which form a
small trestle almost directly in front
of the Milan depot.
Brought Here.
The injured man was taken to
hospital in this city where his death
was expected almost hourly for sew
eral days. Although he has never re-
covered, he rallied sufficiently from
the shock to be removed to his home
some time ago, but is still in serious
condition. The injury was of such
nature as to induce paralysis of the
ower part of the body and it is con-
sidered remarkable by the physicians
who have attended him that he has
survived the terrible ordeal.

TRI-CITIES FACE
1914 ICE famine
Serious Situation Threatens
Unless Cold Weather Comes
Very Soon.
DEALERS ARE NERVOUS
River is Frozen but Slightly and Cut
ting Is Out of the Question
Bad Last Year.

The cities of Rock Island, Daven-
mort. Moline and East Moline, face
an ice famine of serious proportions
TINS year unless cold weather sets in
within the next few weeks and freezes
the Mississippi river and tributaries
to a depth for cutting. Local ice dealers
are getting somewhat nervous over
the situation as it stands at present
and the tri-cities will have hard time
getting any ice at all next season I'M
less the cold weather comes. Thus far
this season there has been little or no
ice cut south of st. Paul, while 1t is
known that no ice at all has been cut
below Dubuque in the Mississippi val
lev. The river is frozen at certain
points but to very slight thickness,
and cutting is absolutely out of the
question unless the ice is at least
foot or more in depth.
Bad Last Year.
Last year the tri-cities experienced
the worst ice famine in many years
and for weeks dealers were unable TO
meet the demand because of a con-
tinued warm spell. However. there
as the river froze before Christmas
and attained a good thickness, but
this year ii looks as though there
would be no ice at all.
The ice attained a thickness of
about six inches in tributaries and in
the canal last week, but warmer
weather has set in and il is melting
away rapidly All of the ice dealers
have planned to store a larger amount
of the product this year providing they
are able to get it. as they do not de
sire to again experience last years
shortage. But all agree that the three
cities face a serious proposition I'M
less the colder weather comes at an
early date.

not to commence until March and has |
been delayed until April. but OF late |
