c. H. Rolf of Spokane Is Continuing His 20 Year SeaCh for Rich Gold
 Lead
KNOWS LEDGE IS THERE
Gold From the Place Had Been Brought to Town By the Discoverer and
 His Partner

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 9.-Continu- ing a twenty year search for rich
 gold mine, c. H. Rolf recently left this city for the upper reaches of Salmon river in north Idaho. For two decades ever since he received from the death bed of one of the
 discoverers of the mine, directions
 ing the greater part of his summers in the wilds of the Salmon river country, in search, thus far in vain for the treasure.
 For many years James Hughes and
 a partner, whose name now is un
 known, left this city each spring
 by devious trails. Each fall they
 returned with a goodly quantity of
 gold dust and nuggets. So care
 fully did they guard the secret of the source of their wealth that it never was discovered
 In the late nineteens Hughes be-
 came so weakened from the affiic- | tions incident to his advanced age | that he was unable to make the an
 nual pilgrimage, and for two years his partner went alone to the mine Upon his return from the second visit, he was set upon, robbed and | murdered on the lower Salmon river
 and his gold stolen.
 | That the secret of the mine's 1 location might not be lost and the
 source of his wealth be stopped | Hughes then sought to describe to his friends, among them Rolf, the
 route to the mine Although Hughes, who never regained sufficient strength | to revisit the source of his wealth | before he died drew a rough map of
 the location, it never has been To- cated
 | The vein, while narrow, was so | rich in gold, according to Hughes story that he and his partner simply pounded out the precious metal with pestle in little iron mortar and | then washed, banned and sacked it. | If Rolf can locate it, he believes
 he will be well repaid for his twenty. years search.

 Dr. Simpson remained with the Ja-Ka-Dan at the scene of the acci. dent to assist in the search. This morning Special Agent Jack F. Mcdonald joined in the search.
 At noon today no word had been received regarding whether or not MT Davidson's body had been found. By those who are acquainted with that section of the country, it is feared that, because of the strong tides, the searchers will be unable to find the body.
 Charles E. Davidson is a pioneer of Juneau, coming to this city more than twenty years ago from Califor- mia, where he was born and reared. From here he went to Fairbanks, where he resided until President Wilson appointed him Surveyor Gen eral in 1913 MT. Davidson has been prominent in Democratic politics ever since his arrival in Alaska, and he was chairman of the Territorial Central Committee at the time of his appointment to office.

FOURTH DAMAGE
SUIT ACCOUNT
TYPHOID FILED
Mary Willems Claims Neglect of
City of Moline Caused Death
of Cyriel Willems.

The fourth $4,000 damage suit
in which the city of Moline, Deere
and company and the Moline Pillow
company are made defendants as
a result of the epidemic of typhoid
fever that swept the city last sum
mer, was fled Saturday in the cir
cult court.
Complainant in the action is
Mary Willems, administrators for
the estate of Cyriel Willems, who
died Aug. IL, 1918, a victim of the
disease. Attorneys are George w.
Woods and P. J. Meersman.
The suit is based on the grounds
that the city and the two manu-
featuring concerns were negligent
in the matter of properly looking
after the upkeep of the factory
water main that is laid along Third
avenue, and through which water
directly from the river is pumped.
1t is set forth that the check
valves in the factory main develop
ed defects which allowed the until
tered water to seep through to the
city Rain and contaminate the
drinking supply.
Three other similar suits pend
ing in court were brought by Eula
M Collins, Edward Coryn and
George M. Stewart. Attorneys
Wood and Meersman represent the
plaintiffs in each case.

The distribution of the new san
itary bags for the collection of
waste material from the homes,

of the Associated Charities, started
in certain sections OF the city to-
day.
These bags carry printed in
structions as to the method of col

short, is everything under the sun.
However, there is a different rate
for three kinds of waste, namely.
bottles, paper and iron; these are
not so profitable. but all other ma
terial brings good prices, and the
Associated Charities expects to
realize a substantial sum from
this collection. Bags to the num-
Der of 5000 are ready for distribu-
ton and residents are asked to get
their waste together, as it is wealth
for the charities and they need the
money.
The bags that are distributed to-

Endorsements Here.

An inspection of automobile
shops was begun in Rock Island
today by P. M. Hartman, special
automobile investigator OF the Of
fee of the secretary of state in
Springfield. He is being assisted
by Detective Bennett of the Rock
Island police force.
Mr.. Hartman said that inspec-
tons this year are being carried
on more thoroughly than during
the previous years. The principal
violation of the state motor vehicle
laws which is being investigated in
Rock Island is operation without
proper licenses.
The investigator says that Rock
Island rates higher than most cit
les in the state in the enforcement
of the vehicle laws. Only a few
violations have been found here so
far, the chief offense being opera
ting with only one license, where
both truck and chauffeur licenses
are required, or where Iowa cars
have no Illinois license.
Increase in Licenses.
Up to the present, estimated fig
ures show that there will be by far
more state licenses issued during
1919 than during the previous

At the Majestic.

In Putting 1t Over" a new Par
amount picture, starring Bryant
Washburn, which will be shown at
the Majestic tonight. the star shows
the value of persistent application
as a means of getting results. He
plays the role of young rube who
goes to the city to make his mark
in life
He meets Mary. the girl, but he
is a little doubtful as to whether
she likes him well enough or not,
so tells her that he makes $50 a
week. The truth is that he only
makes ten as a soda clerk in one
of a large chain of stores. His
landlady takes a sudden notion that
he must pay up his back rent and
refuses to let him enter his room
until he hands over the money, of
which he is sadly in need. The
hardest blow of all comes when
his boss politely informs him that
"on account of slack business dur
ing the winter season we'll have to
dispense with your services for a
while"
But there is no yellow in Buddy's
makeup. He didn't lie down and
give up. The dearest girl in the
world had already agreed to marry
and make it quick.
How he did it forms one of the
most delightful and highly enter
tanning pictures that has been pro-
duced for some time. Donald

be offering his patrons a most I'M
usual attraction, when on Tuesday
next, he present William Russell,
the popular American film star, in
Hobbs in a Hurry" the siX-reel
comedy drama from the pen of
George Lee McCandless. Here is a
story that is far away from the
beaten track of the familiar photo
play, which usually involves the
eternal triangle or the super-sen
sational drama of the underworld.
"Hobbs in a Hurry is a breezy
western story. Astounding in com
edy bits, and hard-riding groups of
distinguished American cowboys,
and a number of unusual scenes
aboard a limited express. Scent
cally, the production is out of the
ordinary in many ways, some of
the backgrounds being taken among
the rugged foothills that lie just to
the west of Santa Barbara, Califor-
mia, where the American studios
are located.

Mayor Receives One More Request
for Possibilities of Landing
Fields in City.

Another effort to secure an air
plane landing field in Rock Island
has received the notice of Mayor H.

tain Alex NJ. Mcleod, Camp Grant
Captain Mcleod is a Rock Is
lander and has been in the service
for some time, being credited with
bringing down four enemy planes
in France.
The letter requests that infoTma-
ton be sent to the war department,
director Of air service, information
group. regarding landing possibil=
tiles here. The types Of fields
specified in the letter range from
500 to 1900 square ys-ds, the fields
10 be square, rectangular or IL
the shape Of an L.
This is only one of numerous re-
quests from outside sources asking
for a landing field in Rock Island.
s request has been received from
fine Lawson Airline Transportation
company Of Milwaukee, requesting
the city to look into airplane sites
and send recommendation to the
company.
The concern is planning to IS
tablish transcontinental air
route, and includes this city on a
line from Chicago to San Fran
cisco.
Difficulty in Proposition.
The only difficulty in the way Of
placing Rock Island in the aviation
future is in securing a suitable
field within a radius of from 10 to
is miles of the city. 1t is also
considered an expensive project.
and it is doubted if the city will
take any action toward that end
until more definite possibilities and
advantages are opened.
