BerTy's Wonderful Moose

Arthur Berry, who recently was in Sew ard from the kuskokwim country, told the Gateway of that city that he is the owner
 f the most wonderful moose alive. UP Gn the banks of that stream where MT Berry lives and conducts the kusk0kwIm Trading Company, he has COW moose that comes into the house and lies down like 8 ret domestic animal When the door is locked Mrs. Moose comes up to the win dow and looks in. Then 10 the door she moves and tries every means to gain an entrance, and when the door Is opened she rushes right in like frOllCsome puppy dog. Mir Berry got the animal when she vas only 8 few weeks old and has raised her. She follows him everywhere and has abso- lutely no fear The only human beings she cannot tolerate are the lnGans, and especially the squawS. On occasions she goes after the native women and chaSeS them Her method of fighting the women is to kick at them with a foreleg, then turn and kick out with the hind hoof as if wishing to give her fore and aft weapons an equal chance. The reason for this hos tlity is said to be due to the fact that the Indians punish moose by whipping them in the ears. Last season Mir. Berry grew lot of cabbage and when the task of feed ing his pet confronted him in the fall he let her loose at the vegeta aDleS.

ing on the floor of the cold house, I'M
conscious, with both feet and a hand
frozen. Boles, whose age is given as
IS, never recovered consciousness and
it was impossible to remove the bull
let from the BRAIN A postmortem ex-
animation was to have been conduct
ed by the coroner late this afternoon.
1t is thought that Boles' act of self
destruction was result Of discourage
ment caused by his poverty. He is
said to have endeavored to get food
and coal from the overseer of the poor
in Moline Tuesday evening. His fam
lily relations were not of the happiest.
his wife being divorced from him and
married again He had two sons who

Found BY Neighbor.
1t was a neighbor who first dis
covered Boles lying unconscious on
the floor of shanty which served
him as a home. The old man was
removed to a neighbours house and
was from there hurried to the city hos
pital. DR.. H. A. Beam examined the
bullet wound and found the case hope
less.
After Earl Boles, East Moline, son of
the man, and Mrs. Rose Salisbury, po-
| lice matron, had witnessed at the in
quest, which commenced at II o'clock
this morning, taking of evidence was
postponed until this afternoon. The
jury instructed Coroner Meyer and DR.
H. A. Beam. county physician, to con-
duct an autopsy in the meantime and
locate the bullet. This was COM
menced shortly after II.
Not in Want, Son Says.
Boles' son testified that when he was
last at his fathers place the man hat
plenty of food and fuel in the house
and was not in want to the best of his
knowledge, at that time. Twenty bush
els of coal was in the place when he
was last there, according to the evi
dence. Mrs. Salisbury's testimony was
to the effect that the man had visited
her the day before the shooting, ask
ing for aid.

GARBAGE HAULING
IS DISCONTINUED
Commissioner Liedtke Temporarily
Ends Free Service But 1t VIII Be
Resumed April 1.
EXTENDED LONGER THAN USUAL
In Recent Years Municipality Stopped
Handling Refuse on Dec. /, Of

EXTENDED LONGER THAN USUAL

The city of Rock Island today tenn
porarily ceased hauling garbage free.
The service, however, will be resumed
April /. Commissioner Liedtke said:
in recent years the free garbage
hauling service provided by the city
for the benefit of the people has been
discontinued ON Dec and resumed on
April l. / have extended the service
two months longer and would like to
have continued it uninterrupted, but
find that will be unable to do so be-
cause of lack of funds. l don't want to
run my department into debt and l
want to pay all bills.
stopping the garbage hauling for
two months will not work hardship
on any. L. D. Powells, who has been
hauling for the city, will continue to
make the rounds, but will charge for
his service There are not many who
have garbage for the wagon in win
ter time because they burn the refuse
in their furnaces or stoves and it is
an expense for the city to carry on
the work for only a few.
To Haul to IncineratOr.
When the city resumes the service
in the spring garbage will be hauled
to the new incinerator near the water
pumping station at the foot of Twenty
fourth street. We will have the same
number of wagons in operation as we
had last year and will take care of the
refuse in all parts of the city.
1.-THE people who have availed them
selves of the opportunity given this
winter in the free service have appre-
ciated the favor in extending the time
two months and for the coming two
months those who have the refuse
hauled the entire year will not be
placed to great expense in having the
matter attended to by private indi-
vidual."
