Springfield. Ill. Nov. 24.-Adju
tant General William Dickson left
this afternoon for Washington, D.
c., and will be in consultation next
week with war department heads
concerning the reorganization of
the Illinois national guard units.
F'ederalizing of state troops dur
ing the period of the war and the
consequent dissolution OF the units
upon conclusion of the war has
left the state guard system uncer-
tain. Some localities have launch
ed new groups, but organization
has been slow. The Washington
conference will determine policy
for the ensuing months.
General Dickson was scheduled
to speak in Moline Monday as guest
of the Chamber offCommerce. The
Washington confer ence caused a
change in this program and today
he notified the Moline organization

,sneci=I E=aIine se-vice.}

John Linda, aged Sc years, or
Briar Bluff. section foreman for the
Burlington railroad company, lost
his life Tuesday evening by falling
from the railroad bridge at Briar
Bluff into Green river. A wound on
his scalp believed 10 have been in
ficted when he fell, might have
caused death, or he might have
drowned. The exact cause was not
determined by the coroner's jury at
the inquest yesterday afternoon.
Supposition is that the blow he
seceived when his head struck the
bed Of the river, stunned him so
that he was unable to drag himself
TO shore.
The body was found yesterday
morning in Green river, near the
bridge, by his brother-in-law,
George Kershaw Of Briar Bluff.
The head and feet were sub
merged in shallow water near the
shore and the body rested on d log.
The finding of the body termi-
mated d frantic search by relatives
and friends of the man.
ceries, as usual, Tuesday evening.
When he failed to return at d rea-
sonable hour, inquiries were made,
but without results A search was
then instituted but it was only by
chance that the body was found.
The verdict OF the jury was that
death was accidental. Belief is en-
fprtaiued that linda ClfDnad on tho
bridge, probably while stepping out
OF the way Of a train, and fell into
the river. Condition of the weather
Tuesday night made walking I'M
safe, especially for one of his ad-

Renew EFFORTS
IN TAX BATTLE
SOuth Rock Island Residents to
Seek Legal Adyice-Cail An
other Session Monday.

Residents of South Rock Island
township who are within the city
limits have not given up their plan
to- oppose the joining of the city
territory south of Eighteenth ave
nue. to Rock Island township.
At a meeting last night they de-
cided to obtain legal advice on the
possibility of multiplying the act OF
the county board of supervisors
which at it's last session approved
the city township plan
At meeting Friday night Mayor
Harry NJ. Schriver and the city
commissioners explained the prop
osition in detail Only 100 persons
were present, but il is evident that
these are becoming more active in
their fight against the joining prop
osition.
The city officials say the fight is
the worst thing that could be stag
ed by the South Rock Island peo-
pie. in view Of the many improve
ments that have been given them
and the small sum that has been
paid out in return. The city claims
that such a fight would be a losing
one from the beginning.
The city has pointed out that
without the township joining and
equalization of taxes there is little
or no hope for any large improve
ments to the district to the south.
In fact. the officials claim that peo-
pie living North of Eighteenth ave-
nue. will not submit to any PROPOSE
ton for large improvements south
OF Eighteenth avenue when those
persons who are helped pay the

Great Scouts Ws,,on
EDGAR S. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
WHO WAS A PAINTER

Col. Edgar 5. PaXSOn was a scout
who became a painter. He worked
for 20 years on one painting before
1t was completed, and when the old
scouts masterpiece was done, 1t was
declared TO be the most accurate pic
ture of Clusters last battle ever
painted 1t made PaxSOn famous.
PaxsOn was New Yorker who
went to Montana In the early seven
ties. He became a cOwpuncher, a
hunter and trapper. When Chief JO-
seph led his Nez Perez warriors on
their l000-mile dash for freedom in
1877. PaXSon enlisted as a scout with
the United States troops and served
with them until Chief Joseph was cor
nered in the Bear Paw mountains and
surrendered TO General Miles.
After the Nez Perez war was over,
PaxsOn returned to Deer Lodge,
Mont, and opened q studio. He had
always wanted to paint pictures and
he took for his subjects the things
he knew best - cowboys, Indians,
hunters and trappers. Then he con-
ceived the idea of a painting of the
greatest Indian battle in American
histOry-Custers last fight with the
Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little
Big Horn.
For years PaxsOn gathered infor.
nation about the battle. He went over
the battlefield again and again until
he was familiar with every foot of it +;
he talked with Indians who had fought
against Custer, and he sought officers
and men who had served with Reno
and Benteen to get their stories of
the fight. He learned everything he
could Of the position Of every man In
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day i'm June 1876.
PaXsOn was engaged seven years
in the actual painting of the picture
His work was interrupted during this
time by his service In Cuba during
the Spanish-American war and In the
Philippines. After the war was over
he returned TO his work and the pic.
ture was completed.
In this painting PaxsOn showed the
figures of more than 200 soldiers, In
dians and scouts. 1t contained the
portraits of 36 members Of Clusters
command painted from photographs
Every detail of the battle was shown
historically accurate, so far as 1t Is
possible to know how Custer and his
men persisted. The painting has beer
on exhibition In the largest cities OF
the United States and 1t now hangs
in the library Of the Montana State
university at Missoula. 1t Is valued
at $4,000.
In 1873 PaXson laid down the
scouts rifle to take up the painter:
