LONG BATTLE IN COURT Attorneys on Both Sides in Hot Ar gumenta Before Police Mag istrate C. J. Smith. "Following one of the hardest and longest legal battles ever witnessed in the local police court. Magistrate C J. Smith last night dismissed the charges against Charles S. Schultz and Mrs J-iP. Jensen of Racine, Wis., arrested Saturday night for alleged criminal re lations. Assistant State's Attorney G. C. "Wenger and B. F. Schriver, the lat ter representing Schultz, brought to bear on the case, all of the law that they could command on the subject. After the case was dismissed Attor ney Wenger preferred a charge against Schultz for perjury, but It too was dis missed. DESERTED HER FA3HLT. Less than a week ago communica tion from the Racine police department notified the local department that the man and woman had come to Rock Island and were living at a rooming house as man and wife. Chief of Po lice James Brtnn directed the search, and Saturday evening the pair was ar rested. The woman carried in her arms a 6-months old babe. Back at her home in Racine were her husband and four daughters. She had deserted them for the man with whom she was arrested. At first it was thought that she had been inveigled Into the elope ment by Schultz, and was scarcely to blame for the actions of the pair. No charge was preferred against her. At. torney Schriver, representing Schultz. swore out the warrant against her, claiming that if his client was to suf fer for the crime, she was equally guil ty, and should suffer too. The move saved Schultz. ALLEGES BAD TREATMENT. In her testimony yesterday afternoon and last evening Mrs. Jensen denied the charge against her, though she ad mitted that she lived with Schultz as his wife for two weeks. She declared that she was suffering from illness. Asked as to her reason for leaving her home she said that her husband had driven her to it by his scolding and grumbling. She asserted that he had threatened to drive her away. Taking her youngest child in her arms, she went to Milwaukee, and there Schultz Joined her at her invita tion. They came to Rock Island, and had fully determined to stay away from the woman's husband, but their plans were checked by the police. Yes terday morning the husband, accom panied by an officer of the Racine force, arrived In Rock Island. They were present at the hearing. READY TO RETIRV Following the decision of the magis trate Mrs. Jen sen, between her gasp ing sobs, said that she was thankful for the turn that the matter had taken She was willing and anxious to return home with her husband, who was warned to be more careful in his treat ment of his family. It is safe to say that Schultz will remain away from Racine. Mrs. Jensen declares that it will take more than mere man to drag her away from the shelter of her home again. rciiF.i ok pkkji nr.

CODY'S LAST VISIT Thevfield of realism In the exhibition world is to lose Its most famous pro jector a pioneer and participator in that most tragic and picturesque per iod when Indian warfare revelled on the frontier, and pioneer of animated nictures in Its mimic depiction Colo nel W. F. Cody "Buffalo Bill." Colonel W. F. Cody holds the record as the world's leading exhibitor ami educator along ethnological lines. In all parts of this country and In all the principal centers of population in Eur ope he has given exhibitions which have received the especial plaudits of masses,- the leading men and royalty of every nation favored with the pres ence of the "Wild West." Now the "Far East" has been added to the great collection of strenuous people of many lands, and the exhibition proves the leading one of tne amusement world. To mark his farewell. Colonel W. F. Cody and Major Gordon W. Lillie have united their forces for the purpose of giving the people of Amer ica an anthropological exhibit cover ing the globe. Both of their exhibi tions have made a wonderful record, and now that they are combined la the same arena, an amuserifent enter prise of rare interest will be found in the present attraction. One hundred Indians from our west, representative groups of different races from the "Far East," cowboys and ranch girls; Jugglers from Hindoo, stan; two groups of elephants which play on musical instruments, and feats of skilled, wild, bucking bronchos, camel caravans, Persian fire worfchip ers, Asiatic arobats, Cossacks, Jap anese zouaves, the great Texas horse. "Joe Bailey," leading Rhoda Royal's and Ray Thompson's combined studs ! 28 Haute Ecole graduates, the Unit-J ed States cavalry and artillery, Buf-i falo Bill shooting from horseback, and Johnny Baker at the traps. All these and more will be seen. j Messrs. Cody and Lillie have found' that they have struck the keynote in amusement enterprises. Their sue-: cess Is deserved from the fact of al-: ways adding novelties to an already ' world-wide endorsed program of re-j alistic features. There will be no street parade, ev-! ery energy of men and horses being devoted to giving perfect perform-! ances. ' Colonel Cody has given none of these public processions for over 10 years, their fatiguing effect on men, women and horses being Buch as to affect the snap, ginger and "go" nec essary to a natural exhibition. There will be two representations at Moline Wednesday, and Davenport Thursday, rain or shine. Tha per formances are given in the open while the spectators are comfortably seated under shed - canvases sheltered from sun or shower arranged to secure fresh ail" a seasonable summer en tertainment. No more appropriate cel ebration of the day could be obaerred for old, and on iec tally for the young, than to seo the American history re produced; the rough riders and the hiKh school equcHlrluriB of the world; the primitive people from around the glob, all In action, with periodic pyrotechnics and patriotism to the limit, with a reason and purpose, mak iiiff a fitting ffstlval to celebrate the firal salute to his patrona of a man whose record, deeds and personality have retained tho puMio attention for nearly half :i century, and wmxie fame will extend Into the future, when con temporary statesmen and pot;ntafes may be forgotten th last of tho American scouts liuffalo Bill.
