JURY GRANTS $500
IN SUIT; LAWYERS
SEEK NEW TRIAL

Henry Bortfeld. formerly a resi-
dent Of Keithsburg, who brought
suit against James Rippetoe, man
ager and proprietor of the CONNER
cial hotel of that city, was awarded
$500 damages for false arrest, by
the petit jury in circuit court in
Aledo Friday. The case was the
outgrowth of a suit instituted in
the criminal court by Rippetoe last
October, in which he charged Bort
field with trying to escape paying
board bill alleged to be near $40.
At that time he had Bortfeld ar
rested and held as a criminal. Bort
field resented this and opened the
charge of false arrest, with a suit
for $4,000. The jury found the de-
PENDANT guilty and awarded the
plaintiff damages to the amount Of
$500. The attorneys for the de-
PENDANT Immediately entered q plea
for new trial. Rippetoe, the de-
PENDANT, was represented by At
torneys Nolan of Oquawka and
Carlstrom of Aledo. The paintiff,
Bortfeld, was represented by Allen
& Duvall Of Aledo.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISIONS REVIEW

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Swiftness
rarely eQualled has shown itself
this week in the decent Of prcies
for grain and provisions. Likeli-
hood of q huge yield Of corn safe
from frost led the way, and ex-
tensive slashing Of merchandise
values was also largely responsible.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was down 1870 to
22hc, corn 3Ac to 12Ac oats,
5h@5Ac to 6Hc, and provisions
SIC to $1.60.
All commodities dealt in on the
board of trade except wheat began
to fall in price when the prospect
seemed clear that chances of calam-
ity frost damage to corn had near
ly vanished. Subsequently big re-
ceipts Of wheat at Winnipeg gave a
severe setback to wheat values,
but the effect was quickly Offset
through immense export buying of
wheat. Price-cutting on automo-
biles and cotton and other articles
failed later to disturb bulls in wheat
until for the first time since 1917
corn tumbled in value to less than
$1.00 q bushel on Change here.
Then agitation against high cost OF
food counted hard to shake the con-
f1dence Of holders Of wheat, and 80,
too, did European selling Of wheat
here and shrinkage of demand for
-four.
Excited shorts in corn ran M
the price sof September delivery
shout lac a bushel one day, but fear
of a squeeze was quickly ended by
large receipts.

ASK PERMISSION
TO FORM CHURCH

A Mexican Roman Catholic
church may soon be established in
Silvis. Mexicans residing in Sill
Wis and neighboring communities
have decided to petition the arch
bishop Of the Peoria diocese for
permission to organize, and wheth-
er the church will be formed or
not rests entirely with that head.
Should the bishop sanction the
plan, solicitation for funds will be
made and series Of entertain
ments to finance the proposition
given.
There are $50 Mexican families
in Silvis, making a population Of
something more than 500. Most Of
these are Roman Catholic in faith,
but because the community boosted
no church their religious life has
been sadly neglected. Some are
regular attendants at the East Mo-
line church. It is believed that II
a church is formed in Silvis 1t
will be literally supported by Mex
leans of that community, East Mo-
line, Moline, Davenport and Bet
tendorf.

ADVISES COUNCIL.
TO REJECT PLATS
OF BARNARD HILL,

Moline's city commission made
no oral or formal written prom
ise' to accept the Barnard hill plat.
in 1917, according to G. Edward
Ericsson, former commissioner. He
further States that the present city
council will make a big mistake if
it adopts the plat presented for
adoption at that time. Commits
si0ner Ericsson bases his theory on
the fact that the plat provides for
winding, narrow streets which he
he considers dangerous.
The question of whether or not
the city had accepted the plat came
up last week when property own
ers of the addition. decided to place
the bill property on sale after it
had been improved and plotted. C.
E. Netz, one Of the owners, stated
that the plat had been accepted by
the city in 1917, but no record to
that effect could be found.

since the early part Of this year,
when he succeeded NJ. Clemenceau.
NJ. Millerand is 81 years old, 4
Partisan by birth, and early gained
distinction as . lawyer and as q
writer. It is somewhat curious that
he, like NJ. Clemenceau, Is a recon-
structed Socialist, which shows the
inherent power Of growth and ripe
ness In the French character. In
1885 he was elected to chamber Of
deputies as . Radical Socialist, and
for years he led the extreme left
wing Of the army Of reform But he
was never . pacifist or iEterna-
tionalist and France had no more
ardent supporter in the war than
he. During the first year Of the
conflict he served a. war minister
and AFTER the armistice he filled the
