Henry Van Alstine Freed Of Charge
Henry Van Alstine was found not guilty of taking money from his aunt Mamie Van Alstine by a circuit court jury on Thursday. The case centered on her death in Tenth and Jersey streets last September and a missing roughly $600. A coroner’s jury ruled self defense. He testified the money came from a Portland connection. Police produced telegrams contradicting his Portland sister story. A separate embargo on Peoria shipments hurts eastbound shippers, with only Beardstown and East St. Louis remaining open routes.

Gorman Brothers Bring Vaudeville To Quincy Fans
Wiliam Gorman known as Bil entertains Quincy crowds on stage rather than the baseball diamond. Edil, his brother, is playing manager of the Decatur Three-I team and often joins Bil at Sportsman's Park. The pair write songs, perform ragtime numbers like The 17 000 Tango, and tour the vaudeville circuit with no idle dates. Bil, who left baseball in 1913, plans to stay in entertainment with wife Mrs. Gorman traveling with the act.
