COMMIT WILSON
TO COUNTY JAIL
EMsEZZLER BROUGHT FROM CAL.
IFORNIA TO ANSWER iNDICT-
MENT FAILS TO GIVE BOND.

William J. Wilson, brought back
last week from San Bernardino, Cal,
by States Attorney Floyd Thompson
to answer the charge in an indictment
of having embezzled $779 from the
Crescent Telephone company, Hills
dale, was this morning brought into
circuit court before Judge r. D. Ram
say on a capias.
Wilson was unable TO give bonds in
the sum of $4,000 and was committed
TO the county Jail where he has been
lodged since he was brought here.
Wilson at first declared that he
would be able to raise the money, but
his attempts thus far have proven fu-
tile and it seems that now he will
have to remain in jail until trial. He
still adheres TO the claim that matters
will be righted and that the phone con-
Germ owes him more money than the
amount which the indictment alleges
he appropriated for his own use.

BOARD CENSORED
BY SEARS PEOPLE
OBJECTION is HEARD TO RECENT
ANNEXATION OF LARGE
STRIP OF LAND.

The village board OF Sears held a
meeting in the town han last evening
at instigation of some OF the residents.
The session was called TO discuss an
nexation to Rock Island and was in
formal.
II is said that in the territory az
fected by the annexation that there
are between 500 and 500 voters. About
800 signed the petitions asking that
the matter be placed on ballot This
would indicate that the proposition
would carry at the election. assuming
of course that all of the people who
signed the papers were for the acqui-
sition by this city of the 1900
acres contingent TO tins city.
There was some argum>nt against
the annexation last evening at the
meeting OF the village board. The
board itself is divided in the matter,
two members being for it. one indif-
ferent and others opposed it.
There has been an attempt in Sears
to create sentiment against the an
nexation proposition, certain people
claiming that the village was trapped"
by Rock Island"
The board was censored last night
for having annexed such a large
amount of territory at the last cleo
ton it held, when it took in about l.
200 acres of land.
II is believed here that the advan-
tages which are offered to the people
in this territory il they vote it a part
of the city of Rock Island will offset
any organized effort to defeat annexa-
ton.

efficient school system with OPP
