GRAND ISLAND ROAD.
At the afternoon session the board
took up the petition of w. A. Kestner,
Joseph Albert and others for a cross
road on Grand Island over the land OF
1. G. Hall and c. W. Clarke, and the re-
port of the viewers thereon.
Chairman Jenkins said that when
the road was asked for some years
ago c. w. Clarke offered the right of
way over his land. But there was some
disagreement among the people there
as to the route the road should take,
and although that petition was filed in
1893 the board had let the matter rest
in the hope that some understanding
would be arrived at by the parties in
terested.
The report of the viewers was read
showing the sums estimated as proper
damages to the landowners.
Supervisor Morrison moved that the
petition be granted and the road de-
clared opened The people in the inte-
rior of Grand Island want an outlet,
and the matter had been delayed long
enough.
The motion was carried by unani-
nous vote.
| BRIGHTON POUNDMASTER.
| A petition was received for the APP
pointment of c. l.. Pugh as Poundmaster
for Brighton township. 1t was signed
by T. c. Perkins and fifty-nine other
! citizens of the township.
A remonstrance was presented, sign
| ed by w. W. White and fifty-five 9TH
! ers. They declared that the petition
was simply for the purpose of keeping
stock off the bicycle path.
| On motion of Supervisor Curtis the
| petition was granted. Supervisor Nor
| rison declined to vote on the ground
| that he has horror of Poundmasters
generally. All the other members
voted aye.
TO FAVOR A CRIPPLE.
A petition was received from resi-
dents of Elk Grove asking that G. M
| Wheeler be allowed to peddle without
| license, as he is badly crippled and
| has family dependent on him.
! Supervisors Curtis and Jenkins said
! they knew Mr.. Wheeler to be utterly
incapable of doing manual labor, being
deprived of the use of both feet.
The petition was granted by unani-
nous vote.

Carefully Looked Over Iron Fur-

New Birmlngham. Texas. September Is.
In conversation with Colonel E. c..
Dickinson Of Rusk this morning it was
learned that a gentleman from an Eastern
city. representing large capitalists, has been
spending some little time inspecting In a
very quiet way the different industries Of
Rusk and New Birmingham. The party
made careful examination OF the Lassie
Belle furnace and DiDe works the Star and
crescent furnace and its appurtenances (;
the water supply and ore beds of both, and
then spent considerable time in the fur
mace and pipe works OF the penitentiary.
While the gentleman was apparently very
careful not to reveal the object of such
minute investigation. 1t was evident there
was something of a substantial business
nature behind the move. and the impress
sion left was that more would be heard
OF him or his associates soon.
This morning another gentleman arrived
on the northbound passenger train and
spent several hours examining the Lassie
Belle furnace and pipe works and the Star
and Crescent. and then took the next train
for Rusk. where he also proposed investi-
eating the iron industries at the peniten
tiarv.
In view OF the improving condition of the
iron industry OF the country 1t is now con-
fdentv believed that measures Will soon
be adoDted to start all the furnaces ard
other plants OF this place.
