THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS FRIDAY, .TUXE 24, 1910. 12 REVOLVER DRAWN ON AUTO VISITORS Arthur Caldwell, Rural Carrier, Gives a Roadside Preachment. e's Our List of 0 mmer Trail IS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT Tomorrow's Selling W. J. Graham, Former State's At tor ney of Mercer County, Filed a Complaint I fere ties US For I Information was filed in the county court this afternoon by State's Attor ney L. M. Riagill, charging Arthur Caldwell, a rural route mail carrier of Milan, with assault with a deadly weapon. Wednesday afternoon Cald well is alleged to have held up three autoists at the point of a gun and given them a severe tongue-lashing when there was no occasion for it at all. W. J. Graham, former state's attor ney of Mercer county, whose home is at Aledo, visited Rock Island Wednes day in his automobile, bringing with him his sister and another lady. On their return to Aledo they met Caldwell at a point about four miles out of Mi tan. They claim to have given Cald well almost the entire road when they Baw that his horse had become fright ened at the machine, but this appar ently did not satisfy Caldwell. Ordered Out of Machine. When, he had driven the horse past the machine, Caldwell jumped from his rig, drew a revolver and ordered Mr. Graham and the ladies out of the auto. He lectured them upon the rights which men driving horses have over those who are fortunate enough to have machines, and then he allowed them to proceed. The ladies were bad ly frightened. ! City Chat THE LOST'CAR. Lying one day 'neath the auto. Sweating and soaked with oil, I worked at a cranky engine, And my only reward was the toil. I know not what I was saying. As I tinkered and wrenched and tore; I doubt not 'twas something quite sav- a ge lt may be I even swore. My patience gave out on that engine; With the scanner I gave it a thump, That jarred loose some thingamadin kus And started it up at a jump. Before one could twinkle an eyelid Before there was time for surpri?e That car tore away down the highway, And I lay glaring up at the skies. I sprang up, and madly I followed, But soon gave it up in disgust, For that runaway car quickly vanished In a thick, swirling cyclone of dust. I sought It in byways and hedges, In highway and busy street. And though I made thorough inquiries, With never a trace did I meet. Perhaps in some future existence. In worlds far beyond mortals' ken, I shall once more make search for that auto, But I doubt if I find it -then. Louis Schneider in Judge's Library. Kerler & Co. make rugs. Buy a home of Reidy Bros.

In the first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve destroyer on many highly organized people, both young and old, and many people haven't the knowledge to select nourishing, healthful, rebuilding food. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are made from selected part3 of the field grains that contain delicate particles of phosphate of potash and albumen. These two elements combine in the human body to quickly rebuild the gray matter in the brain and in the nerve centres throughout the body.

LOUIS One of 1.1 Passengers to Suffer from Accident Condition is Not Con sidered Serious. Arthur Gotthardt of this city was in jured in a wreck on the Chicago & Alton road at Carlinville yesterday afternoon, being bruised in the groin. According to a telephone message re ceived by his brother, William Gott hardt, his condition is not serious, no bonos being broken. The injured man, who is a plasterei and makes his home with his sister, Mrs. William Heuck, 1106 Fourth street, left here yesterday on his way to St. IxMiis in search of work.: He is one of 13 injured in the derailment of the Prairie State express of the C. & A. According to press dispatches the train was running 40 minutes late and at a high rate of speed when the trucks of the tender left the track and tipped over. The other cars in the train fol lowed the tender, and each one left the rails and tipped over back to the parlor car on the end of the train. The parlor car and the engine were all that were left standing after the acci dent. Into Soft r; round. Beside the track where the wreck occurred the ground is soft and level. The cars dug deep into this and this, it Is believed, saved many lives. The track was torn up for about 700 feet. An accommodation train, waiting in Carlinville for the arrival of the train that was wrecked, was sent to the scene and took the injured and other passengers to that place, where medi cal treatment was given them. The few with broken bones were being cared for there and the less seriously injured were sent on to their destina tion. Mr. Gotthardt is expected to re turn home. SHOWER HERE LAST NIGHT Traces of it Hard to Find this Morn iiiH, However. It rained early this morning, one of those slippery, elusive showers that merely tantalize when the weather is dry. The local nature of it is shown by the fact that it did not reach tne federal building in Davenport, where the official observations for this dis trict are made; and so the report today says tnere was no precipitation in the last 24 hours. At some places in Rock Island the dust was fairly laid, while elsewhere there was hardly a drop. ONLY ELEVEN CARS LEFT Chalmers No. 5 Alone of Glidden Contestants Has Perfect Score.
