The police report great many
stIBgglers in town OF night, and
complain of want of accommoda-
ton for them. If they arrest them
and take them to jail,then the cor
poration treasury will have TO pay
the fees, and if they leave them
run at large it is Impossible to
watch them all. The people of
the town are taxed for the poor
fund, and it strikes us that some
arrangements should he made for
at least "a room in which to keep
them over night. 1t is hardly
right to tax the people for a poor
fund and then use corporation
taxes for such a purpose. The
Council should appoint commit
tee to max some arrangement
with the Overseers of the Poor, or
with the County Court in refefer-
ence to this matter. At one time
arrangements were in progress to
use one of the rooms OF the Jail for
a town lock up for this purpose -
Such an arrangement might now
be made

THE MONSTER OF BACK CREEK.
OAKToN. November 7, IA.

OAKToN. November Z, IA.
On last Sunday night, NOV. ID
at a rather late hour AS one Of our
young district pedagogues was
making his way home from tho
sidence Of his intended, and as
he arrived III the fork IT the road
between Mr.. Samuel Murphey'S
and the widow Woods, he was
horror stricken by an object Of
tiendish form and deviIish appear
ance presenting itself In the road
before him. He described the
monster to be about eight or ten
feet In height, and apparently wen
proporti, ned In body but feet
very large, with long arms, and
with fingers, or rather claw I, larger
than what would be considered
prop OPTIONAL. The tail was
flaming, and In length
was about that of his stand
ing attitude and which he dashed
about In q furious manner. His
eyes were large and fiery, and to-
gether with his flaming tail diffus-
ed a brilliant light over his whole
form. And the avidity with which
he darted his red-hot tongue made
the appearance Of the monster
more horrible. This frightfuI OBJ
ject entertained our nocturnal
traveller about three minutes, then
with an appalling yell and furi-
Gus bound into the thickets, he
left the road clear for his guest to
pass on, an opportunity which he
gladly availed himself Of at full
speed to his horse. Was this
monster the devil going about
seeking whom he may devour,"
or what"

Pertinent Inquiries About
the POlicc--'rfmely Suggcs-
lions.

10 the Eds. Independent:
| dislike to attack our town gov
eminent, or to bring reproach on
our municipal officers, but | desi re-
10 know whether the corporation
government il run i'm the interest
OF violasors OF law, or in the inter
est ofti.e tax payers and law-abid,
ing citizens If the latter. then
we want protection from lrpreda
tors and marauders.
Everything seems to he going
wrong. The Mayor complains Of
the police and says they won't en-
force the ordinances, and the po.
lice complain that the Mayor
WON'T doanything with those they
do arrest. Now who is right? The
people have the burden to bear all
the time. A woman was brutally
outraged in Strinesville ON Sun
day The Mayor, according to
your report, took them out of the
hands of the police and let them
go, by depesiting twenty dollars
with him. The next day they APP
peared, and one ofthem was turned
loose without an officer to hunt
bail. BY whose order was this
man let go? Did the police refuse
to 90 with him, or did he depart
by express orders of the mayor +?
Who will answer these questions |?
On Sunday night at two O'Clock a
revolver was fred four times from
the corner opposite the Stewart
House for the purpose efattracting
the attention Of the police. They
couldn't be found. Where were
they
II is wrong, however, to expect
these men to watch night and day.
Why don't the Sergeant take care
OF the town during the day, and
let the police have a square chance
for night work ? Will the Coun-
ell look into that ?
On Monday stone was thrown,
breaking a glass worth S75. The
Mayor imposed fine Of 81 and
costs, BE very particular about
the c0sts--0nly a dollar a throw.
Now isn't that nice protection for
man to put in open fronts. Is that
the way good store rooms or vaIu-
able property is to be protected ?
Who is to pay for the glass? Will
the town do it? At a dollar a
throw, Baker and Scheu will soon
be bankrupt. There isn't any fun
about these matters. They are seri-
Gus operations. The council should
overhaul both the Mayer and po-
lice when they fail to perform
their duties. This milk and water
way Of doing business won't suit.
Let the Council speak right out in
meeting, and be as square as is

A WOMAN BEA TEN.-About
noon on Saturday last there occur
red in Strinesville a very disgrace
full and outrageous proceeding. IT
appears that two men named res
pectively John Bennett and Jacob
Buckerman visited house i'm
which resided Miss Mary Fitz-
Morris and her mother. The
daughter was alone, and one of the
parties made a villainous propo-
posal, which was Indignantly re-
sented. Violent words followed,
which resulted in one of them as
saulting and beating the lady,
bruising her considerably. Infor-
nation was given as soon as posi-
BILE to the police, and after consid-
cradle search the parties were found
and arrested. On the way to the
police office they were met by the
Mayor, who released them until
Monday morning by each one of
them depositing twenty dollars
with the Mayor as guarantee for
their appearance. On Monday
morning they appeared, and after
a hearing the Mayor decided to
bail them for Court in the sum Of
five hundred dollars. Buckerman
gave the bail, and Bennett was
permitted togo in search of surety.
Up to the present writing he is
still hunting surety,a the officers
are looking for him. If the facts
alledged are true, the punishment
for such a proceeding should be
very severe.

CIR AND PRIZE TOURNAMENT

Eds. independent:
suppose you were aware that a
Prize Tournament was to take
place near our little railroad station
on Saturday, 18th of November, un-
der the management of Mr.. Mil
ton Sellers, J. X. Morrow, and
another / forget, who, as the COM
mittee.
The prizes to be- tilted for were a
splendid colt, an elegant saddle
and a bretty bride. Precisely at
the appointed hour, 10 O'Clock, the
colt, saddle and bride, together
with all Of the Knights { / believe)
were on the ground, looking fierce
and eager for the combat. The far
famed "orator" of your town, bet
ter known as fd's Son, was also
on the ground at an early hour,
ready to crown some of Ewes fair
daughters as reward for the sue
cess of the victorious knights,
but after he looked around for
awhile and cast his woman seeing
eye in ever Y direction without see
ing a feminine, he became heartily
disconsolate and left the grounds,
much TO the disgust of the COM
mittee.
About III o'clock, every hing
being prepared, and large num-
Der of knights being enrolled for
the contest the fitting commenced.
About I22 o'clock. not however
