WANT THE CITY
TO TAKE TRACT
G.. M. Committee Discusses Ac.
QUESTION of Gripp Tract
for Playground.

Improvement of Browning Field and
purchase of the Gripp tract adjoining
were the chief subjects for discussion
at the MONDAY luncheon of the Great
er Moline Committee today. The COM
mitee looking after the legal phase of
the proposed transaction reported that
no progress had been made. Henry
J. Gripp told members of the commit
tee that If the land was wanted some
action would have to be taken at once,
as he had other prospective purchas-
ers. Mayor NJ. r. Carlson was ap-
pointed to look into the legal end of
the matter to ascertain If something
could not be done without calling a
special election to have the question
voted on.
A motion was made and seconded
by several members that the city COM
mission go ahead with the improve
ment and purchase the Gripp tract,
paying $4,000 at the rate OF $500
year, making up the amount by rent
ing out the grounds for baseball and
football. In case the Gripp tract is
acquired, it will be used for park pur-
poses.
The question of entertaining group
one, Illinois Federation of Commec-
cial clubs, was referred to the Moline
Commercial club. The fact that the
local club is not a member of the ILL.,
nois Federation may prevent the Mo-
line organization acting as hosts.

L0VESICK YOUTH
TAKES LIFE when
SUIT Is SPURNED
Dead Body of Albert Won Ach
Found by Brothers in Timber
Near WATERFOWL.
TRIED TO SUICIDE BEFORE
Inquest Brings Out Fact That This
Was the Second Attempt at
Self Destruction.

4. Disappointed in love when his
sweetheart spurned his suit, and de-
spondent because he was unable to
secure the education he desired. AL
bert Won Ach. aged % years. living
on a farm near WATERFOWL, fired
bullet into his brain and died instant
ly. His Iifeless body was found last
night in the timber a mile from his
home. by his two brothers. who had
gone in search of him.
The inquest was held this morning
in the AIIsbrow undertaking parlors
IN WATERFOWL, Coroner r. c. J. Meyer
presiding IL was learned that about
five years ago Won Ach made a previ-
Gus attempt at suicide by slashing
his wrists with a knife. His intention
was to cut the arteries, but the at
tempt failed and his life was saved
by prompt surgical attention. Several
N witnesses were heard, including the
N two brothers, Clarence and John Won
Ach. who testified that their brother
had threatened to take his life, but
that they had paid no attention TO
him, thinking that he was merely de-
sirous OF frightening his family.
Wanted Higher Position.
VonAch was employed by a neigh
Dor as a farm hand, but was despond-
ent owing to the fact that he desired
to become something better than a
common Iaborer. He often spoke of
the matter to his employer, stating
that he desired to secure an educa-
ton.
Won Ach left the farm Wednesday
and as he had not returned at the end
OF As hours, his brothers were notified,
with the result that a search was
started and his dead body found.
The tract in which the body was
found belongs to the state and is adj
tacent to the Watertown hospital. The !
body of the youth lay face downward, |
The revolver cIutched tightly in one I
hand, the face blackened with powder. /
The bullet had entered the temple .
and penetrated the brain, causing in /
slant death.
Disappointed in Love.
A letter was introduced at the in
quest which had some bearing upon
the young mans death, but at the re-
quest of relatives IL was not made
public 1t is thought, however, that
Won Ach was disappointed in love. as
the mother said that pride partially
prompted the act. The jury returned
a verdict OF suicide.
Deceased was born I'm Rock Island
county and had lived here all OF his
life. He was of German descent and
Is survived by his mother and two
