hours before II was committed and to
have mad in his possession at the
time the gun and searchlight which
were found on him and to have at
that time made statements indicating
a mind fatally bent on mischief.
All Of these circumstances, together
with others proven on the trial con-
clusively show him guilty of the
crime. Now, in addition to the COM
plete proof Of the crime by Bang
stod's testimony. and in addition to
the proof of the crime by circum
stances, we have his confession.
which, together with the testimony Of
the attending physician, would have
been sufficient to have proven him
guilty of the crime. So you see, in
three distinct ways the crime has
been proven by the direct and positive
evidence Of an eye witness: by direct
and positive evidence OF the confess
sion and by circumstantial evidence
of facts which can not be reasonably
answered.
/ hope that from now on, the news
papers will bear in mind Peter Jel-
vek, his widow and two orphans: that
they will bear in mind the people OF
this community and the honest law
abiding citizens; that they will bear
in mind the sacredness Of the home
and that they will devote some space
to the rights of the good citizens OF
this community and not devote SO
much space to Will Carter.
Respectfully yours,

HUYVAERT CASE IS
REVERSED IN COURT

The appellate court, in reversing
the case of Henry Huyvaert of Moline,
ruled that the county court has no
authority to appoint probation officers
in criminal cases. Huyvaert was one
of the So men arrested in the raid on
blind pigs in Moline year ago. He
pleaded guilty to one count against
him and paid fine of $50 and costs,
and was put on probation on the re-
mainder of the counts against him.
The probation officer reported that
the terms of the probation had been
broken, and recommended that Huy-
vaert be sentenced on the remaining
counts against him. In this connec-
ton the appellate court ruled that in
asmuch as the court did not act in the
same term of court, the counts were
nullified.

ICE STARTS MOVING
IN RIVER AT THIS
POINT LAST NIGHT

Predictions are that the ice will
break and leave the river at this point
before next week terminates.
The ice moved down stream 100 feet
last night according to river men in
the city and has been slowly moving
all day. The warm spell that lowered
over the city for the last few days is
the cause.
Last year the city in the west end
was flooded for weeks On account of
the gorges that formed but this year
Rock Island. it is said, will not suffer
any as a result of the ice breaking
and leaving. Although only the Rock
IsaId side of the river is open on &C
count of the slough the large body of
ice to the west has been slowly NOV
ing.
The ice reached a thickness this
year that has not been equalled for
several years and if sudden thaW
should prevail before the ice leaves
entirely there would result Hood as
experienced last year, only more
severe. However, the moving of the
ice last night shows that no damage
will be done

there less than five minutes after the
shooting. Carter was taken immedi-
ately to the room in the presence of
Hellvard Bangstod, and Bangstod
identified him as the man who had 20
minutes before shot Peter Jelvek
Carter was taken to the police station
His room was searched and in the
room was found q new box of cart
ridges containing thirty-eight 3S-cali-
bre cartridges. These cartridges were
identically the same as the five found
in Carter's pocket and the six found
in Carriers gun. This accounted for
40 of the cartridges out Of the box Of
so. After talking to Carter for short
time he accounted for the 50th cart
ridge by stating that it was the one
with which he had shot Peter Jelvek
and that as he left the house he threw
it away in an alley and put in a new
cartridge.
Garter then recounted in detail all
OF the occurrences Of the evening, and
after he had made this confession it
was reduced to writing by a stenogra-
pher. A witness was produced who
saw Carter a week before the shooting
have in his possession a revolver
which appeared to be the same re-
volver which he had on him the night
of the shooting. Another witness was
produced who had talked with Carter
some few days before the shooting
Carter at that time displayed to him
revolver which appeared to be the
same revolver found on Carter the
night of the shooting, and Carter al
the time had made a statement that
he was going to hold up somebody
and kill them if necessary to get some
money. Another witness was produc-
ed who was with Carter on the night
of the shooting and who left him at
