A petition was circulated and numer.
ously signed last week seeking an abate-
ment of the nuisance existing by rea-
son of the ware house obstructing the
view of the switch at the approach OF
the Rock Island track from Broadway
The building Is owned by McFarlane
Dickey 4 Co., and the firm AYERS that
having paid the railroad company $1,000
for the lot they are entitled to occupy
1t rs they choose, and that the com
pany is responsible for the present con.
dition Of affairs. 1t is probably fine
point of law that will establish the
rights of the firm and the railroad com,
pany. So far rs we know each occu,
pies its own land, but the fact remains
that the situation constitutes perpet,
ual danger to the public and that is a
greater consideration than the interests
of both. We understand the council
will look into the matter ut its next
regular meeting.

fore Justice Myers, who made his bond
for appearance Monday morning 800,
Dunn had a certificate OF deposit of
$500 which he offered to leave as
guaranty for his appearance Monday

the court in the matter of change, but
he was not long in a quandry for TAX
ing inspiration from picture Of Grant
on the wall he met the emergency com
placently by raising the bond to 800
and gathered the certificate to his cof-
fers. On Monday morning the case

Mr.. b. b. Harris, of TT. Collins, Colo,
was in Audubon Monday renewing ac-
quaintances made years ago when he
lived near Atlantic and owned land In
Sharon township. Mr.. Harris loves
Iowa and her people and only removed
to benefit his health. The farming
methods and advantages of Colorado
suit him, however. lie told us candid.
ly Of Strawberries that are served sliced,
mammoth vegetables of prodigious
yield, and four crops of grass per sea-
son, all raised by the never failing pro-
cess Of irrigation. The alfalfa grass is
the principal food for stock, upon
which they thrive without grain. He
has figured 1t to certainty that stock
raisers there can undersell Iowans by
S1.75 per hundred and make more
money. While his only objection to
Iowa Is her rigorous winters, he still re.

Of Mr.. Adam, sr. Mr.. Harris is great
ly delighted with the growth and sub
stantial improvement in Audubon, and
says that its amazing development can
only he fully appreciated by one who
has been absent.
JIG. Fremont, a colored man who
has been lecturing around the country
was assaulted In front of the Walker
House Tuesday night. Some parties
accosted him, and then struck him be-
hind the ear, knocking him against the
storm door of the vestibule aud then
fled. He was badly bumped by the
blow and cut cash in his forehead in
falling. Fremont is spoken Of by the
people at the hotel as gentleman, un-
obtrusiye and courteous. He recog-
nized the prejudice against his race by
taking his meals late and withdrawing
from the company of other guests, and
only speaking when addressed. On
this occasion he had been In the hotel
Office all the evening, leaving the infer
ence that the assailant laid in wait for
him. While In the county Fremont
met and conversed with Y. S. Marshal
Miller, both residents of Red Oak, and
he thinks his assailant is laboring un.
der the false impression that he is in
that gentlemans employ. The assault
was unprovoked and uncalled for and
Is approved by none. Fremont left for
Red Oak yesterday morning.
