stated that the shooting was N ac-
cident At any rate Mrs. Elliott
waited until after 0abel had been
killed before she evidenced any
wish to clear herself Of 4 suspicion
that she tried to kill herself.
There Is no doubt that Mrs. FL
Holt had been induced by persons
vitality concerned in the Gabel trag-
edy to come forward with her story
that her former lover had attempt
ed to kill her because she had re-
fused to return to him and resume
her position rs mistress of his re-
sort on Fourth avenue. The Elliott
theory having fallen flat, the real
murderers Of Gabel are now dev0t-
ing their efforts to covering their
tracks the night OF the shooting, and
TO be ready with alibis in the event
they are questioned by police auth
critics.
Working on the Case.
Chief Thomas Cox. and Sheriff
John Miller say they are working
on the Gabel murder case. The
public will be glad to know that
they are, and will watch with in
tere5t any developments that may
be brought about as result Of the
efforts that they claim they are ex-
erting to uncover the murderers of
the Fourth avenue bar owner.
l have other important details in
this murder ON which l have not
been able yet tc fully check up, but
l hope in subsequent articles to
bring readers of The Argus closer
to the doors of those who were re-
sponsible for this crime, killing
that was carried out TO serve a
double purpose warning to the
Rock Island underworld that death
was the penalty for sQuealing
against the operations of the vice
ring and notice to citizens generally
not to become extensively interested
in the business Of the Rock Island
underworld, the traffic Of which has
been and will be in future, unless
prevented by public protest, or
ganized and commercialized under
direction of vice ring.
Gabel was put to death because
lie turned over his cancelled
checks to the federal prohibition
agents and supplied them with afii-
davits supporting his assertions
that the checks represented pay
,ments for protection against prose-
cution by city, county, state or fed
'eral governments. Two of the men
whose names are on those checks
have been conspicuous figures in
the Rock Island underworld for
years. When the Gabel murder is
solved, as there is no doubt it will
be, in due time, if the full facts are
brought to light, these men will be
proven to have had a part in the
crime, because they more than any

After these theories had failed to
make an impression on the public
both having been ignored by the
newspapers. the Bessie Elliott con-
fession was offered. Discovery that
Mrs. Elliott had been shot by Bill
Gabef while on an auto trip to Pc
cria was revealed to reporters OF
The Argus and Davenport Times al

were told that Mrs. Elliott had a
story she was willing to give the
newspapers that might throw some
additional light on the Gabel kill

nett. Published by q. F. Putnans Sons.
s.
1T is good news that this very notable
biography is now available in a
new. unabridged but less expensive edi
tion. Canon Barnctt's wife is the one
person supremcly fitted to describe his
life of service among the London poor,
because she participated actively in his
work and shared his ideals to the full
est extent. Times have changed in
England since Canon Barnett entered
upon his devoted mission. The lot Of
the poverty stricken is not quite so
desperate; there is more definite
sense OF collective responsibility for
the fate of socicty's derclicts. All the
more honor is therefore due the man
who took up the battle for the op-
pressed and unfortunate at the time
when they had the most need of his
minstrations. Every one who has not
read the narrative Of Canon Barnett's
life should certainly take advantage Of
the present opportunity to secure a
copy. 1t is great human story, rich
in changing moods Of humor and
pathos.

RANGY PETE. By Guy Norton Pub
iished BY Small, Maynard & Co. :1.75.
TT is impossible for any one to read
this book without visualizing Will
liam S. Hart in the title role. 1t
is just the sort of thing that he would
play to perfection-a tall, lean COW
purcher, strong armed friend fast
shooting foe, and a very agreeable
sultor. There is one advantage that the
film would have over the book, and that
is that it would be cut down to the bare
action OF the plot with all the padding
left out. For it must be confessed that
in the four hundred pages there are
long, nat stretches more reminiscent of
the prairies than necessary. Neverthe
less. there is plenty of action, with some
moments of real dramatic suspense that
would make first rate scenario out of
second rate novel Doubtless that
idea has occurred to the author as we'll.
The characters are all pretty much
alike with the exception Of Pete. who
stands out from the rest. Only one
woman seems to grace those distant
hills, young lady with remarkably
blue eyes and a phenomenal ability to
shoot straight. She is amply sufficient
to provide twists to the plot, though the
real troubles comes from a blackguard
named Merrill who tries to get away
with $4,000 in gold packed casually in
a crate OF evaporated apples He is a
desperate william, but when Pete once
gets excited they are pretty fairly
matched There is a great deal Of fast
riding and at times the number of posses
out on the trail is bit confusing. It
is difficult to determine Why the Tri-
angle O boys are after the Snaky Y
outfit, and where the Double KS come in,
but those are details that the real West
ern enthusiasm would work out with
relish The book is to be recommended
to small boys.
