which has so definitely expressed
itself, was not called upon and was
not heard from upon the occasion
of the hearing conducted by the
state highway officials.
Instead, the small minority,
which largely took the position
that it does not know what IL
wants, and that if it does, it does
not desire to express itself OIL
cially, was given the spokesman at
the hearing by some authority IN
known to other board members.
Rock Island has a great deal at
stake in the location of the road
between here and Aledo, if the sit
uation is studied, and it means
more than just an improved road
into the city from the south.
With the building up of South
Rock Island the truck gardeners
arc moving further out. and ultf-
mateIy their lands will all be oc-
cupied by residences. My idea is
that the most advantageous and
logical place for this class of pro-
ducers is on the lands between the
bluffs and the Mississippi river

Must the interest of these cities

demand of Bowling township that

endorsement by the board Of su-

STRUCK BY A SOLDIER
Civilian Who Would Not Submit to
Arrest is Handled Roughly

ATEcSl 10 IldliuiSu IsouSHl0
While the streets were packed
with people Saturday night the
sudden exit Of a man through
window, carrying the glass
with him, on King street, near
st. Asaph, caused some excitement.
1t was said that; the man was
thrown out Of the place. No one
seemed tt know what precipitated,
the trouble.
Later on Patrick street, near
King, an excited dispute took place
between a man and member Of the
military police. The latter insisted
that he had the power to make ar
rests in any cases of disorderly con-
duct, and that his duties were not
confined to soldiers. His antagonist
disputed this, and the soldier finally
attempte to arrest the man. The
latter ran, when the member of the
military policel discharged his pis-,
tol several times-in the air, he
says. The fugitive ran into King
street, where he tripped and fell.
The soldier was upon him in an in
slant, and while the man was pros.
trate he struck him on the head
with his: pistol.
The man who was assaulted de-
c!ine:l to appear N the Police Court
ant left the city this morning The
sc 'dier was on hand with sev"ra. of
his companions, together with his
superior officers,
/ AS the injured party. was not
present, it was difficult to go into
an investigation of the case. The
court, ,hewever deemed it a proper
occasion. tot:say to the soldiers and
those with him that the CITY apprec-
:atel the services of the military
police during the past two years,
they having been, of material aid to
our city officers. The court let it be
known that the soldiers have equal
powers with the city officers, but
that in performing their duties the
sons of Mars were reminded that
they should not initiate Cossocks.
that discharging a pistol in the
streets especially when they are
crowded is an action of trespass'
against the community, and that
assaulting a PROSTATE man with &c
butt Ct pistol is a felon'.
The soldier said he did not assault
the man until he had applied an m
spie,lt cpithet to him. Tt, court
called the soldiers attention to the
fact that policemen often have hard
names applied to them. Cus~ words
have been coined for all in authority
from the Mayor down to the most
courteous policemen, and in perform
