bon street. in the vicinity of the bridge
leading to the chutes of the Pine Brool,
col!iery, was the scene.
This dynamiting differed from the
others in that it was the rear truck
which exploded the cartridge. A num-
Der Of ears had passed this spot bound
from the Providence barn to the CEN
trail city to start out for the day AT
G.@O a car with two ex-strikers COM
prising tie crew. came along and en-
countered the dynamite. The front
truck passed by without exploding the
cartridge. One of the rear wheels
struck it and there was the usual con-
sequences, "A broken tlange smashed
windows and deranged machinery.
How the front wheels escaped the cart
| ridge is Il mystery. One explanation
offered is that the percussion cap was
not on the rail until the front wheels
of the car brushed against the cart =
ridge and twisted it about.
An assault was made on Il crew at
Olyphant yesterday but it had no Sc
riOuS consequences.

as to their plans for the future further
than that the fight will be prosecuted

one proposition advanced by the
strikers is to have President NIahOn

The crowd pressed behind them The
witness was in rear of the crowd and
could not see what was going on i'm
front but when he finally got to the
outside the firing was in progress.
There was no demonstration against
the officers, he said, The crowd only
went AS far as the stoop, but all of
them could not be contained on it and
those in the rear pushed those in front
down the steps and ON TO the sidewalk.
The witness said no one struck the
officers, heard no one cali them names
and saw no revolyers on other weapons
in the hands of any of the crowd. When
the firing ceased, it was found that
three of the crowd had been shot Dam

Capt. Burton Died in Salt Lake City

AT. Burton, the news of whose death
in Salt Lake was received, served as cap
tain of Company 3 of the Fifty-frst reg
iment during the Philippine war. He
never acted as an officer in the national
guard and was not member of it, but
waselected captain of the Villisca com.
pany at the time Of the organization Of
the volunteer regiment. While in the
Philippines Captain Burton was accused
of cowardice- by members of the regi.
ment, and for some time the affair at.
tracted considerable attention in the
state. He returned to Iowa with the
regiment but did not remain here, going
into the Pullman cor service as cou-
ductor on the Union Pacific. The re-
ports Of bis death received by members
of the Ffty.tirst regiment III Des Moines

with ;peritonitis following an operation
for appendicitis. Before going into the

The City Election.

One week from next Monday the an
| nual city election will be held. This
year the only officials to be elected are
two cOuncilmen to succeed Harry j.
| Nogt and I. S. Arnold. Both have
served on the council for a long time,
MIR. Vogt for the past nine wears and
Mr.. Arnold has served close to fifteen
years on the council.
| The election of councilmen is however
not the most important part of the city
election, as the voters will be called upon
to vote on the question of bonuing the
town for an additional ~, 600 to provide
means for laying pipe from the old
brick mill to the light plant, putting in
motor, tanks, pumps, etc. When the
public closets were put in at the court
house the city entered into contract
| with the board of supervisors 10 supply
the closets with water and also water for
teams Tor twenty years in consideration
of the county paying the town 81 200
which was used in extending the sewer
running southeast from the court house.
The closets take considerable water,
and the question of where to get it Is a
serious one, and the adoption of the
bonds seems the only way out of the
difficulty. Whether there is enough
water at the Old brick mill for ali pur.
poses will have to he determined.
The town already has So 500 in bonds
outstanding, and the issue of 81 600
more will bring the indebtedness up to
very near the limit allowed by law Ii
is proposed to issue bonds hearing per
cent interest, and this would mean $3.50
a year interest besides the cost of main
tanning the mains and pumping station
to be offset by what the town now pays
for having water hauled during the dry
months. An article in the Leon Journal
last week states the town pays out ii 900
each year for hauling water. This is not
correct, and we only desire that every.
one should know just what it does cost.
We have taken the pains to .ook up the
records, and find that during the past
year it has cost the town just Sl45 IA for
hauling water from March |, 1900 to
March |, 1901. Whether the people
want to vote the 81 900 bonds or not is
for them to decide. A better plan we
think would be to buy land near the old
X. 4 w. depot and move the plant there
where pond could be easily built which
would furnish an abundant supply of
| wafer

G. A. Knapp. of Garden Grove, is in
Leon selling the Standard gasoline
lamps for stores and residences, and has
sold quite a number. The residence
lights are in the form of neat nickle-
plated chandelier, an ornament to any
parlor, but their looks are nothing COM
pared to the excellent light they give.
Each lamp is 100. candle power, equiva-
lent to more than six electric lights; and
the cost is nearly nothing, it costing less
than one cent night to burn them.
They give clear white light and will
light all parts Of the room. 1t is the
best gasoline light we lave seen, and we
purchased two from Mr.. Knapp tor use
at our residence. They are simple to
operate, perfectly safe and cheaper than
coal oil. If you are interested in having
better lights in your house, drop Mr..
Knapp postal card and he will call and
show you the light. He has already
placed them in many Of the best resi-
dences both in Leon and Garden Grove,
and all who use them are well pleased.
