James Newton will get $50 from the
Illinois Central for trees cut to make a
dam and the dam foated down the
river
AS Mr.. and Mrs. M. Ainsworth were
driving upon the Fritz Miller bridge,
which is in terrible shape, they strained
and perhaps broke the reach of their
buggy and being unaware of the fact
drove on and when about a mile this
side of Denison, the buggy went down.
Luckily their horse is very gentle, OF
they might have had a runaway. John
Lewis in driving upon the same bridge
broke his doubletrees. The county
will have to pay the costs, as this is
county work, and Supervisor Fred Jep-
lsen has been informed about the bridge
several times, but does nothing. Gun
trustees might wake up little and see
to this.
Our friend Robert Childress has been
almost cut Off from communication
from the outside world, on account OF
the miserable shape the road is in lead
ing to his place. 1t seems the l. g. r.
r. Co. has dug trench to change the
course of the river, and it is neither
deep or wide enough and every time it
rains the water is damned up, making
it impossible to cross the bridge and
leaving a mud hole. through which no
team can pass. We respectfully call
the attention of the r. R. Co. to these
facts, hoping they will adjust the mat
ter at once.

And earnestly defended. what to him,

And e'en assist the stronger side, as if
1t were a brilliant thing for themto do,
And many OF the things they used to say.

Because they had SO long been out of date.

Collects Five Months Salary, Al.
though He Had Not Done
Any Duty for That
Time.

Policeman Frank Kenyille enjoys the
peculiar distinction of having collected
S5O0-his salary for five months-from the
city without having performed any police
duty for that period,
Kenville is the individual who struck
little Willie Lynch with his club during a
prize fight at Woodward's Pavilion. The
unfortunate boy was standing near the
entrance to the pavilion when Kenville
evidently anxious to make a record threw
his, club at him, striking him in the head
and fracturing his skull. Although Ken
vile emphatically denied that he had
thrown his club at his helpless victim
there We're several witnesses to the as
sault who positively identified him as the
officer who had welded the locust Salts
fed that Kenville was responsible for the
injury to the boy, Captain Gillin, to whose
station he is attached, formally charged
him with an assault to commit murder
and henville was at once suspended by
Chief Lees pending the result of his trial
in the Superior Court. That was five
months ago. and although Kenville has
not done any police duty during that
period he has received the warrants for
his salary, which he did not earn. and
they were duly honored by the Treasurer.
The day after KenVilles trial in the
Superior Court. and which resulted in
disagreement Of the jury, Kenville was
restored to duty by Chief Lees. He was
given his back warrants and told to re-
port to Captain Gillin.

ing Kenville had not performed po
lice duty from the time Of his suspension
until, he was; reinstated. he was still a
member of the police force and entitled
to draw his salary for the time that he
was relieved of his star.
Kenville hopes, with the aid of his
pull to induce the District Attorney
to withdraw the charge against him and
thus avoid being tried again.
His unfortunate victim has not entirely
recovered from the effects of the blow
al the hands of the Infatuated policeman,
and it is doubtful IL he ever will At
certain times, particularly when he gets
excited, he sWOons away. His pitiable
condition, so the surgeons who have in
terested themselves in his case say, is
due to the blow on the head.
