FALLING IN HOLE,
HORSE is KILLED
Woman Arrested and Policeman
Shocked in Midnight
Escapade.

One horse was killed, another injur-
ed, policeman was shocked and a wo-
man arrested as the result of a run
away on Twenty-fifth avenue and
Thirteenth street shortly after mid
night last night The horses in the
runaway were the property of the
Normoyle livery of Rock Island
Mary Klonk, 80 Twenty-second
street, Rock Island, was the woman in
the case who was arrested by the To-
cal police. She was arraigned before
Magistrate Frank Gustafson in police
court this morning and fined s11.SO.
Up until noon today she was unable to
pay her fine and could find no one who
would pay it for her, so the proba bill
ties are that she will spend several
days in the county jail as a result.
The woman came TO this city from
Rock Island with a number of friends.
After visiting in Moline for several
hours, she became i'll and said she
wished to go home. The others were
not ready, so she left alone, taking the
team with her. According to
her story told in police court, some
one flashed a small electric light in
front of the horses and they became
frightened and ran away. The buggy
was upset when it struck the curbing
This made her angry, according to
her own admission, and for a time the
air in that vicinity was blue with pro-
family. A policeman in the neighbor-
hood, hearing the commotion, came,
and though sadly shocked, arrested the
woman. She was taken to the police
station. Other members of the party
could not be found
This morning the police found one
of the horses in an excavation in the

en- in during the course of the runaway.

Raymond Robins, Senatorial
Candidate, Will Make

Campaign plans were advanced at a
meeting of the bull moose last even
ing in the rooms of the Retail Mer-
chants association. A. G. Abraham,

AUSTRIAN WOMAN
PREDICTED WAR

That the Austrian kingdom would
be rent with revolution or involved
in mighty war. ''as soon as the old
emperor will shut his eyes," was the
prediction made three years ago by
young Viennese woman, student at
university there, in a letter to Miss
Marguerite Merriman of the Moline
Dispatch. In the light of recent de-
velopments in Europe there is interest
attached to portions OF the letter,
which was brought to light today. The
shutting of the emperor's eyes can be
easily attributed to the events fol
lowing the murder of Franz Joseph's
nephew. the heir to the throne. the
bomb which stirred the European war
dogs into motion.
The writer OF the prophecy was Miss
Emily Lux, now Mrs. Robert Kerber,
the wife OF a prominent attorney of
Vienna.

.BECHTEL COMPANY
EXPECTS TO LOSE
European War Places Bond
Market at Standstill
Over Country.
MUNICIPAL BONDS SOLID
Issue for Local Fire Department Thor
oughiy Reliable but Brokers
Have Hard Time to Sell.

1--WE stand to lose at least $500 on
the Moline municipal fire department
bonds" stated representatives of the
George NJ. Bechtel company of Da~sn-
port today, who were at the city hall
to close up the deal whereby the city
realizes S34,697 with which it will pay
it's obligations in the motorization and
improvement of the city fire depart
ment and the erection of the new sta
ton on the bluff. The Bechtel COM
pany handled the bond issue for the
city.
The effects of the European war on
the securities and bond markets is
given as the cause for the loss which
the Davenport concern expects to ex-
perience, even in the disposal of such
first-class paper as the Moline munich
pal bonds are reported to be. The
company offered a premium of $197 on
the issue for S34,5 and they are now
making good with the city at their own
loss. The bonds were authorized at
the city election April y, but it has
taken nearly three months to get the
opinion from Wood & Oakley, the
Chicago bond authorities, on the is
sue. Meanwhile the war and its at
tendant furies on world wide COM
merce and the American money mar
ket has broken, and Moline municipal
bonds, which have finally been declar-
ed solid in every respect, will be hard
to place. The delay in receiving the
opinion has worked to Bechtel's loss.
Market at StandstilI.
Representatives of the concern here
today in conference with the city COM
mission, declare that the bond market
is absolutely at standstill and what
sales are made must. generally be at
a figure below par. Brokers all over
the country have ceased to bid for
public improvement issues as a general
rule, because of the tightening of the
market.
The payment of the proceeds from
the local fire department bonds sale to
c. V. Johnson, commissioner of ac-
counts and finances, will be made, it
was agreed, on the Chicago exchange.
