been paid 70 him. Recent decision Of
the Illinois state supreme court,
awarding to Mrs John E. Il Waymau
approximately $3.50 900 Of similar
funds which the court hold due her
husband, establishes a precedent, &C
cording to the former states attorney,
which will have its effect in Rock Is
land county.
Clerk of the city discovered that

a unanimous vote the money in ques
ton was awarded to her.

same man who, previous to the case
in the Rock Island circuit court some
time ago when L. M Magill was in
dicted for appropriating funds, vat
visited by Attorney George W. Woo

ments against Mr.. Magill.
Marshall. however. refused TO draw
an indictment against MT Magill or

BIG ElEvENS MAY
PLAY At EXPOSITION

San Francisco. Feb. 2s.--Graduates
OF the big eastern universities who
now live on the coast are now head
ing movement to attempt to have
Yale, Harvard. Dartmouth, Syracuse.
Pennsylvania, Cornell Washington
and Jefferson. or Michigan play foot
ball games at the Panama Pacific ex-
position this fall.
A series of such games in the big
stadium would be a boon 10 the sport
in California, because at present few
colleges in this State play anything
except the rgsby game. The east
ern colleges therefore would have to
compete against each other or against
eievens from Oregon and Washing ton.
There is sure to be one intersection
al game. and that Will involve the Car
Isle Indians with one Of the Pacific
coast universities. The annual game
between Stanford and California seems
to be assured to the exposition. The
prime movers IN the effort to bring the
eastern colleges on for big foot ball
tournament are S Franklin r. Morse
and George Cadwalader, two former
Yale men.
1t has been pointed out that for
some OF the eastern colleges to leave
for the coast would involve a change
in schedule. The games as listed usu -
n''v take the teams right up 10 Thanks
giving day and they would have 10
leave for the coast much before then
for the exposition closes about Dec, 4.
