LICENSE FOR BAR
Permit for "ThFee Oaks" Saloon. in
Which Place He Was Shot Trans.

Saloon license for the Three Oaks"
bar, 401 Fourth avenue, in which place
Charles w. CTommy'O Kruger was
shot by Carl T. Rain Friday night,
was transferred TO Mr.. Kruger by the
municipal commission yesterday.
The saloon was formerly owned by
c. c.. Kroeger, but a week ago it was
purchased from him by Mr.. Kruger.
although the latter's condition was
unchanged today. and his chances for
recovery are still considered very
slight. it was stated by commissioners
that in the event of the death of Mr.
Kruger the license would revert to
his estate. AS a saloon license at
present in Rock Island is worth much
more than the sum paid to the city by
the applicant because possession gives
opportunity of renewal, from a f1nan-
cisl standpoint, the commission was
pledged to transfer the permit to
Kruger.
Mr. Kruger has not gained con-
sciOusness for any lengthy period. At
times he will talk nationally but these
he becomes serni-conscious again.
Meet Tomorrow.
To Commissioner Murrin was re-
ferred a petition for a rebate for wa
ter rent from Mrs. Elizabeth Coyne,

sion adjourned to meet at 1870 o'clock

tiOn will be taken on leasing Island

Rock Island, Ill, Sept. 26.-Editor
The Argus: Noticing your account of
an accident on the Milan bridge last
night and being the party in question
who was driving the automobile, 1
wish to correct you.
My wife and l had been on a visit
and were coming home. AS ap-
preached the south end of the bridge
south of the power house saw a We
hicle going on to the bridge and
sounded my horn as l was about to
pass. This vehicle was travelling on
the west side of the bridge and going
north. My lights were burning bright.
I passed on the right side about the
middle of the first span. I also met
two vehicles going north about the
middle of the north span of the south
bridge and after we had passed the
power house and were half way across
the bridge north of the power house
heard noise and in looking back saw
a runaway team of horses about to run
into US and turned to the right as they
brushed the side of the car. In doing
so 1 crashed into the side rail of the
bridge, the wheels going through and
down, and there l remained for 80 min
utes and until l was helped back on
the bridge. l was going slow at this
time and my engine stopped, and this
possibly saved us from going into the
river.
All of these vehicles were without
lights, which is against the state law
and the team going north was on the
wrong side of the bridge. l was not
within $50 feet Of the accident when
it occurred and am in no way respon-
sibIe. From an eyewitness who was
standing opposite the collision l am
informed the vehicle going north was
wholly to blame.
