MEXICAN SHOOTS
UP DRINK PARLOR
AS IN OLD DAYS

The old-time mining town saloon
with its fights and shooting scrapes
has nothing on Ben Van Damme's
soft drink parloT in East Moline.
Yesterday evening about 8
O'Clock, a joyous Mexican, in an ef-
fort to celebrate Mexican Indepen-
dence day in a fitting manner, shot
up the place in the approved style
of Villa ct al. and chased all of the
patrons out into the street at the
point of a revolver.
Not content he wandered down
the railroad tracks and lay in wait
for the policeman who was on his
trail. Only the tanning of his
trusty siX-shooter put an end to
his adventures.
This morning Balticar Duarde
was arraigned before Magistrate
Niles on a charge of distorderly
conduct He was fined SIS and
costs.
a crowd of men were gathered
in Ben Van Damme's soft drink
parlor last evening, peacefully sip
ping their near beer. Suddenly the
door opened and a tall Mexican
walked up to the bar and called
for a glass of wine.
When told that there was none
to be had, he took a large gun out
of his pocket and commanded every
one TO run out of the back door.
Ali fled and the Mexican fired a
parting shot through the ceiling.
Not content, the bad man next
attempted to hold up Officer
Rhodes, who was out to capture
him. Hiding in the weeks along
the railroad track. Duarde COM
manded the officer to put up his
hands and when he refused came
out of his hiding place to offer bat
tie In the midst of the scuffle he
tried to fire his revolver. but found
that the gun was damned. He was
soon overpoweTed and taken to the
station, where he spent the night

MANY GATHER
TO PLAN FOR
POOR RELIEF
Mayor Skinner is Appointed Chair.
man of General Com mitfee to
Handle All Work.

A large number OF interested cit
izens attended the meeting to plan
for winter relief called by the com
munity service council in the Mo-
line city hall last evening. There
was a great deal of enthusiasm
shown and those in charge we're
more than satisfied with the re
suits.
Representatives of nearly all of
the organizations that were COM
bined to form the service council
were present in addition to a large
number of others who, although
they we're not connected with any
organization, we're interested in the
idea.
The trend Of the talk at the SEES
sion was that Moline must do some
thing imnedia ,ely to provide work
mr. the necessities of life to hun
dreds of families who are out of
money. The situation, which was
grave all summer. is expected to
grow worse as cold weather ap-
proaches and work becomes more
scarce.
was decided to put the necessary
campaign for raising funds and a5-
ministering relief in the hands Of
the community service council.
Mayor c. P. Skinner was author
lied to appoint a committee of the
council to formulate a plan for re-
lief and to devise means for get
ting the necessary money. The
mayor stated that he would an
nounce the personnel Of this COM
mittee in a short time.
1t was brought out through
Frank Wakes coal dealer, that the
coal men of the city will under
take to deliver coal to the needy
at the order of the relief commit
tee, without any profit He believ-
ed that they will arrange to sell it
as low as 1915 a ton for such use.
Efforts were made by number
to ascertain approximately how
large a fund must be raised for re-
lief purposes. Estimates ran all
the way from a few thousand dol
lars to a quarter of a million. Th@
matter. however. was left to the
members of the commit ee, who will
report after they have made a
thorough study of the situation.
