RUNAWAY TEAMS
HALTEDBY WOMAN
Unusual Feat Performed in
East Moline Street, Hero
inc Being Unknown.

An East Moline woman this morn
ing, name unknown, performed an I'M
usual feat for a woman when she
seized a runaway team and brought it
TO a halt. She was not injured and
held to the frightened animals and
Gained them till d man came to her
aid. Then she went on about her
shopping.
The runaway took place on Third
street. the team being that of Albric
De Geeter, who operates the Parkview
dairy. The wagon was loaded with
milk cans, which were spilled when
the rear wheels struck an obstruc-
ton and were demolished. The pro-
prietor was delivering milk when the
horses, doubtless partly because of
the cold, started TO run. When the
wagon had been damaged the horses
slowed down enough so that a woman
who was passing. could get hold of
the bride of one of them and bring
them to a halt.

lie today by Manager Tillotson of the

for the lack of interest in Moline on
the part of the Davenport management
has not been explained.
Thirteen games have been arranged

BETTER WORK IN
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Protestant Churches of City
Arrange for Course of
Instruction.
WILL COVER SIX MONTHS
Joint Conference Makes General Plans
for Work Which Will Be
Started Jan. "a.

Arrangements for the inaugurating
of a Sunday school teachers training
course were made in a general way at
conference Sunday afternoon at the
First Congregational church. Sunday
school workers from the various Pro-
testant congregations of the city gener-
ally attended.
The course will start Jan. 4 and will
continue for "A weeks. There will be
general instruction and also work in
the different departments will be taken
up separately. Sessions will be held
on each Monday evening from 7:45 to
8 o'clock. y general registration fee
of so cents will be charged and it is
anticipated that there will be heavy
enrolment, inasmuch as the course is
generally recognized as filling an urg-
ent need for more efficient work in the
Sunday schools of the city.
May Meet at Y. M. C. A.
Rev. p. c. Ladd, pastor of the First
Congregational church, presided over
Sundays meeting and others who
spoke included Superintendent Hop
kins of the First Methodist Sunday
school. Miss Violet Roberts. D. H. Dun
can, w. p. Hunt and Rev. L. F. Haver-
male of East Moline. 1t was decided
to leave all arrangements for meeting
place and Instructors in the hands of
Mr.. Hopkins. 1t is probable that meet
ings will be held at the Y. NJ. c. A.
This course will have nothing to do
with the movement to bring about the
teaching of the bible in the public
schools, though that subject probably
will be taken up later at point con-
ference of representatives of the var
ious Protestant churches of the city.

LOOK FOR A BROTHER OF
MAN WHO WAS MURDERED

Moline police are asked to look for
a brother of George Collar, an Aus
trian, who was murdered by tramps
Dec. Z at a construction camp at
Murphysboro. III. A request to this
effect was received in letter today
from D. L. Boucher, an undertaken at
that place.
Difficulty in finding the brother, who
is supposed to live in Moline, is in.
creased by the fact that George Collar
is the Americanised name of the muir
dered man and it is probable that the
brother in Moline, if there is one, is
known by a different cognomen. The
police have enlisted the aid OF local
Austrians in the search, but SO far
without result.
