By and by the bride invited her brothers, Ignatz. Joseph and Wadislaw, to come and make their home at the Mis- ce.ivlcz domicile. These are the facts conceded by all parties and are reasonably well established otherwise. Beyond that all is rather hazy. The bride told the court this morning that her husband mistreated her and she had asked her brothers to come to protect her. The husband declared the brothers had put -him out of the house and the brothers swere that the husband bad done the putting out.

There is a bill before congress now for an appropriation for a new bridge. General Crozier's views on the sub ject were reported to the Greater Mo line committee Friday at its weekly luncheon by R. S. Hosford. The gen eral, it was said, had been reminded that the Moline bridge was not to be compared in strength with the bridges connecting Rock Island and Davenport with the island. To this he replied that the traffic here does not retmire such structures as the other cities have. If the appropriation for a new bridge carries it is expected that the site will be changed to two blocks farther east and that the Moline Plow company, in such an event, is prepared to make important improvements in its plant in the vicinity of the south end of the present bridge. .

The truck is rented from the Velie Motor Vehicle com pany, the city not being in financia. condition now to make an investment Experience with the motor truck at the central station has shown that it is not only more efficient than horse drawn equipment but is more econom ical. Cost of maintenance has been less than that of horses. The truck which the No. 3 station will use has been employed in other work, but is being remodeled to meet the- needs of the fire department.
