J. B. Goodrich of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, was in Rock Island last evening
enjoying the night life and other
things to be found here
Believing in doing things up right
when doing them at all, John B., after
taking on a pleasing supply Of intoxi-
cants, hired a taxi and asked to be
driven to the Rock Island Southern
station at the foot Of Fourth avenue.
The taxi speeded away westward and
Mr. Goodrich leaned back luxuriously
in the deeply cushioned interior oT the
cab, he dreamed things over. In a
few moments he was al the Southern
station and the driver, John Epperson,
announced the fact TO his patron.
John B. evidently had experienced a
change Of mind, for instead of dfsem-
barking he ordered that he be driven
back to the city and then about over
the streets for a little Sightseeing
tour. The chauffeur complied, and
again Goodrich leaned back in the
heavy upholstering and enjoyed him
self as the machine sped smoothly
and quietly along
! Finally. after a few hours Of pleas
lure, Goodrich asked to get out The
driver stopped the car and the pas
senger got out and started away He
was asked about pay, but declined to
pay attention to affairs of such minor
importance. Mr.. Epperson, the driver
couldn't see things in the same light
and so he showed his patron into the
taxi again, shut the door and hunted
up an officer. He found Patrolman
1 Swayze. The latter put Goodrich I'M
! der arrest and took him to the sta
! ton He was locked up and this morn
/ ing in police court his taxi ride and
court costs combined decreased his
roll to the extent of $1310.
