HELD UP IN A SALOON William Boyens Robbed While Taking an Early Morn ing Snooze. BTSPAN AHD MARSTTAT.T. ACCUSED. Only Men In the Place When the Alleged Heed Wi Committed Both in Jail Fend log Their Preliminary Hearing. Which in Continued a lYeek Joe Hayes Asaanltad In a Street Car on Elm Street Line. William Boyens, a boarder at 2111 Fourth avenue, while returning' home at an early hour Sunday morning, dropped into Banter's saloon 01 Fifth avenue to ret a drink. After satisfy ing his desire he sat down in a chair aud was soon slumbering. When he awoke he was shy $40. He reported the loss to the police, stating that he suspected George Kispan and George Marshall, the latter colored, who were the only people in the saloon at the time aside from the bartender, of having held him up. .Oilicers Fitzger. aid and Ainswarth were put on the trail of the suspects aud shortly rounaeu mem up at headquarters. They denied takinr Bovens' monev. and an invoice of their clothing only showed $4. Today Boyens swore out warrants in Justice Cramer a court charging Kispan and Marshall with roliery. At their request their pre. liminary examination was continued one week. In the meantime they languish at the county jail each under fouu bonds. Street Car Fight. August and Frank Ludwig. broth ers, created a disturbance on an Elm street car uptown last night, which resulted in a serious assault on Motor man Joe Hayes peaceful, pleasant old Joe, who would not do any one harm unless compelled to in order to defend himself. The Ludwigs, becom ing boisterous, were ordered from the car. They refused to oyey the re tmesis of Conductor Frank Firman and Motorman Hayes, whereupon tliev attempted to forcibly eject them Firman handled his man all right, but Frank Ludwig took the crank awav from Hayes and whaled him over the head with it, also scratching his eves. The affair caused great excitement among the passengers. Dr. J. F. liv en, who dressed Mr. Hayes' woonds, says that his injuries are severe, there being a numlier of cuts in the head and face, but they are not very seri ous. Ihe Ludwigs will ie arrested. Other Polio Points. Morris bimon had his wheel a Twentieth Centurv stolen Saturday night.

The Moline Dispatch has said that the democrats are giving no reasons why republicans should vote for their candidates for county omces. V hat better reason can be offered than that of superior fitness and qualification Each and every roan named for coun ty office on the democratic ticket is better adapted to the office to which he aspires than is hisopponent. Com mencing with the office of county judge the domocrats never had better candidate, a man of good character, a. lawyer of high stand ing. William C. Allen fills the bill. When" amy man says that John .Norton is not competent to nil the of fice of county clerk simply because he is a workingman he is making a false statement. Mr. Norton is acknowl edged by his fellow workmen and all others most intimately acquainted with him to be a man of uncommon ability. A change is certainly needed and there would be none were Hub bard elected. It is a fact so apparent to everrone that Albert lluesing is a fortunate selection for sheriff, that comparison between he and Cralle and his followers about the county build ing is out of the question. And if Mr Huesing is elected he will be sheriff too If Pleasant Cox were the right man for county treasurer he would not have sought the chance for the olliee so long in vain at the hands of his own party. No better man could be found for the office than T. 11. Lees. That O. I. Additon is the right man for county superintendent is acknowl edged on every hand. The remark was recently made by a highly re spected and influential citizen who has for years voted the republican ticket, that he had never known a man running for office that he considered so well qualified for the place as is Mr. Additon for the olliee of county superintendent of schools..

Absence of Several Crack Players Proves DUmstroim to the Eleven Which Loses by a Score of 15 to 11 Targe Gather Ins of Tri-Clty People Witnesses Game, Which Is Exciting; and Interesting;. Victory came apparently easy to Rush Medical college in its football game with the University of Iowa at the Rock Island baseball park on Twelfth street Saturday afternoon The Iowans, while in weight about even, were nnequal in every other respect to their antagonists, a condi tion in a large measure attributable no doubt to the absence of several of their crack players, who deserted the team for various reasons. The score was 15 to 11, and dark ness had set in before the contest had reached its conclusion. Despite tne fact that the weather was any thing but favorable, and rain momen tarily " threatened, in the neighbor hood of 1,000 people, the majority of whom were the elite of the three cities, were assembled about the grid iron when the hour for the struggle arrived. Both elevens did hard work, and an exciting contest, resplendent with numerous brilliant plays, was the re- suit. Morton, Iowa's right half, created the sensation of the game, making a beautiful 90-yard dash in the last half and scoring a touch-down for his team when but a few moments for play remained. Ihe crowd was an enthusiastic one and warmly applauded the teams. Kusli won the toss and chose tne north goal. Meggars for Iowa kick ed oil to Lamerton on the 18-yard line. At once Rush began its attack on the Iowa line and moved steadily down the field by three and five-yard stages. On its 15-yard line Iowa took a brace and held for two downs but on the third Lamping went around right end for the first touch-down. Tobin fail ed to kick goal, as he did every time of the three chances he had. Meggars did the same with all but one of his attempts. Iowa got the ball in the center after the kick-off and in ten minutes' play Meggars went over for a touch-down, tieing the score. Rush repeated its line pounding and Tobin scored a touch-down just as time was called. In the second half Rush kicked and Meggars returned to Tobin, who ad vanced seven yards. Given 10 yards for offside play. Rush put Schwenden- er across the line after two and one- half minutes. Meggars was forced in to his own goal for a safety. After an exchange of punts Iowa held for downs on their 20-yard line and Mor ton made his phenomenal run around right end. Meggars kicked goal with three-quarters of a minute to play.
