acted from defaulters on May con-

pears Coming From School

Police of the quad-cities today
are conducting q thorough search
for little Thomas Mckenna, II years
old. who disappeared from his
home. 1901 Second avenue, Monday
afternoon. He was last seen as he
left Washington school at Eighth
avenue and Seventeenth street.
That Tommy may have gone with
a Mexican family which resided
near the Mckenna home until Mon
day is the most common theory ex-
planning his disappearance. The
parents of the lost boy are near
distraction.

ENDS HIS LIFE
after QUARREL
WITH HIS WIFE
John Quick Of Silvis Puts Tragic
End to Long Series Of Denes-
tic Troubles.

One Of many domestic differences
which have disturbed the tran
guilty Of the Quick home for the
last year, ended tragically last
night when John e. Quick, Of Sill
Wis, head Of the family, ended his
life by hanging. His body was
found at S o'clock this mornig by
his wife, who, suspecting that he
had carried out his threats Of sui
eide, went to the barn a short dis
lance from the house. Mr.. Quick
had his arm half thrown over the
ladder leading to the loft and his
feet were not more than five feet
from the ground, 80 that he might
have saved his life had he desired.
Death came as the result OF
strangulation.
1t is the belief of Mrs. Quick
that the act was committed shortly
after midnight when her husband
left for the barn. She also believes
her husband took his life through
remorse over the injuries which he
had inflicted upon her during their
recent quarrel.
In an interview with an Argus
reporter this morning, Mrs. Quick
stated that her husband had acted
strangely for more than year and
had often threatened to take his
own life. In March he left her for
three weeks, returning when sum
moned because Of the death Of his
mother. Since that time he resided
at home.
Last evenings disagreement
arose over one of the children, Mrs.
Quick taking the part Of the child.
In a fit of anger Mr.. Quick, the wife
says, attempted to choke her and
threatened her life. Later he re-
GREETED his act. Mrs. Quick
stated she forgave him and pleaded
with him to refrain from taking his
life. Believing she had talked
him out Of the idea she retired. MIR.
Quick went out to the barn but
came back. 1t was on his second
trip that he failed to return.
Born in Moline.
Mr.. Quick was born in Moline
Aug. 3, 1873, and resided all his life
in Moline and vicinity. His mar
riage to Miss Kate Rubey took place
in Moline, March 10, 1899. Eight
years ago he and his family removed
to Silvis where they have since re-
sided. Mr.. Quick was employed as
| a blacksmith at the John Deere
Harvester plant.
| In addition to the widow he Is
survived by five children, al! al
home, Leona, Edwin, Edna. Rose
and Mildred; three brothers. Rob
ert, William and George, all Of Mo.
line and one sister, Mrs. Jennie
Shelley also Of Moline.
The remains we're taken to tht
Knox mortuary.
