SCENE OF LIFE
LOSS IN FLOOD
Two Men Drown in High Waters OF
Mississippi-Were Hunting
For Ducks.

George Gibson and George Nc
Partland, both of New Boston. were
drowned in the food waters of the
Mississippi at the New Boston bay
last night. About 4 O'clock yester-
day afternoon cries for help were
heard and boats went out to in
vestigate and find out from whence
came the cries. AS darkness came
on the hunt was abandoned until
this morning, when four men in a
launch went out and searched the
bay for traces of the missing men.
The launch which the hunters had
used was found tied to a tree and
the hunting boat was located near
by. The bodies of the two men were
found in about ten feet OF water at
either end of the hunting boat. The
men who comprised the party of
searchers were w. w. Smull, Harry
Bruson, Ross Bauguess and Archie
Good. An inquest was held by the
corOnOr's jury and they returned a
verdict of accidental death due to
the overturning of d hunting boat
George Gibson was well known
throughout Mercer county, having
lived in New Boston most of his
life. lie was a young man about rs
years Of age. He served during the
late war in the Rainbow division of
the United States army and was
wounded and gassed while in SER
vice in France He had been liv-
ing at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Allie Gibson, while re-
cuperating from the effects of his
wound His partner in death, Nc
Partland, was a Chicago man about
50 years old. 1t is said that he
had been living in New Boston for
several months in an attempt to
gain his health which had been i'm
paired, due to oyerwork in the city.
He is survived by his mother and
one sister, both Of whom live in
Chicago They have been notified
of his death but as yet no word has
been received from them.

lost their lives in the food.

STORE ROBBERY
IS A MYSTERY

A robbery which is reported to
have occurred last evening at the
Homme shoe store, 1147 Sixteenth
avenue, Moline, is battling the Mo-
line police today. A telephone mes
sage which came to Sergeant Stew
art from the store last night ran
something like this: Some young
fellow just robbed my store of SIS
and showed a gun in my face and
beat it."
Sergeant Stewart investigated.
Mr. Homme told him he left the
store, forgetting to take the money
with him. He returned a few min
utes afterward and found two boys,
one about 10 years DID,, the other
about II. He declared the older
boy said he took the SIS and then
pointed a revolver at him and asked
him what he was going to do about
it. Then they ran away. Later
Chief DeJaeger also Investigated.
Il found the money said Homme.
1T was on the counter where / left
it, Sergeant Stewart declared
there was no money on the counter
when he was in the store.

sentenced to Fort Madison peniten-
tiary on the charge of embezzle-
ment, has been granted full par
don by Governor W. L. Harding. At
the time of his conviction, instead
of being made to serve time, Mr..
Seeber was granted a parole by
Judge House in the Scott county
district court. Since that time he
has been filling a responsible posi-
ton with the Des Moines National
bank in Des Moines Even though
convicted, Mr. Seeber's friends did
not lose confidence in him. They
felt he was the victim of an unfor-
tunate circumstance and that others
were guiltier than he. His appli-
cation for a pardon was endorsed
by all three members of the state
board of parole, as well as num-
Der of leading bankers and state
officials. County Attorney Henry
H. Jebens, who secured Mr.. Seeber's
conviction in the local court, siren
uously opposed the granting of a
pardon and wrote Governor Hard
ing several pointed letters to this
effect when he learned that the ap-
plication for a pardon was in the
hands of the chief executive. The
confidence imposed in Mr. Seeber
by the Des Moines National bank
undoubtedly had much to do with
the securing of the pardon.

BEARISH MOVE
I FAILS TO LAST
IN CORN MART

Chicago, April 6.-Baarish seuti-
1nent predominated in the corn
market todayssts(he outset, but the
eject failed to last. The initial
selling pressure was ascribed
chiefly to possibilities that infiuen-
tial traders would be indicted on
charges Of having shared in crimi-
nal manipulation Of prices. Spread
ing Of the railway strike, however,
was a factor in bringing about a
subsequent rally. Opening quota
tons, which varied from un-
changed figures to 1c lower, with
May $1.63h, to $1.64, and July
$1.573s to $1.58, were followed by
upturns all around that in some
cases went well above yesterdays
finish.
Oats were governed by the ac-
ton OF corn. After opening 14c
to nc lower, including July at
S3Nc to 83hc, the market sagged
q little further, and then scored a
slight gain.
Provisions showed a lack of sup
port. Lard supply was weak.
Later the market hardened
further as a result of the govern
ment report showing a prospective
smaller yield of wheat than the
trade as rule had looked for. As
soon as shorts covered, though, the
market started downward again.
The close was weak. sc to 1c net
lower, with May $1N to $1.G5A
and July s1.575s to $1.57A.
