The accident happened almost as soon

morning. The brick walls up to the
third floor had been completed and the
joist laid Smith, with a fellow work

BAD CASE AT LlvERMoRE.
An Enoch Arden Affair With Lot Of
Criminal Tactics.

Criminal Tactics.
Livermore, Jan. 21.--William Bracket,
who struck this town last year with
prairie schooner and allowed the pub
lie to support him for a time. showed up
again last week and badly disorganized
Veness Gardeners family. Bracket came
here year ago with supposed wife
and also accompanied by supposed
sister-in-law, Mrs. Dora Bracket. There
We're also several children. Last March
this Mrs. Dora Bracket was married at
this place to Gardner. who had lived
with her and her children ever since.
Bracket left his wife here some months
ago, and taking some Of the children
mtched unto his schooner and disap-
peared until last week. In the mean
time his deserted wife made her home
with the Gardner family. Now comes
along Mr.. Bracket and Mr.. Gardner is
apprised of the fact that Mrs. Bracket
whom he married In good faith is Brack-
cts legally welded wife and that Card
rer has no claim on her. Under the cir
cumstances Gardner could do nothing
but relinquish his claim, which he did,
and the woman was rendered assistance
TIC go to her friends elsewhere. THE
woman whom Bracket first claimed as.
his wife gives her name as Rose Car
man, who tells a story which would
arouse the sympathy in anybody with a
heart. In fact both women are terribly
unfortunate and the various children
are to be pitied. There is a chance for
some real missionary work there. Brack-
EFT is candidate for the penitentiary IL

terest themselves in his case. In the
meantime he has creased up his

they do not prate Of this craving left
over for pinafore days. They are moro
apt to hide 1t all and ascribe their
work to desire to be good to some
child or philanthropic to the church.
Nor can the rare excellence of the
young woman's work be traced to her
eccentricities which have made her so
unpopular among girls of her college
that they can scarcely rejoice in her
success even as an honor to their
school. 1t is not be stroking a head
of flaxen curls or bending bisque
image to see it eyes shut that the in
ner life of children is to be shown.
The memories of her own childhood
and the observation of the little ones
around her have made her able to
write her charming tales. She is one
of many who are great not because OF
their peculiarities but in spite Of
them

TO START A NEW TOWN.
Glasgow to Be Name of Village to Be
Established in Black Hawk

Established IN Black raWk
County.
Waterloo, Jan. PA new town is to
be established in Mt. Vernon township.
1t will be founded by the Rapid Transit
Company on forty acres of land just
purchased by President Cass and j. F.
Cass of the Kyler estate
The new town will probably be known
as Glasgow, altho the name has not as
yet been fully decided upon. Mr.. Cass
said this morning that the name Glas-
gov, which had been suggested, seemed
very fitting as it represented a pioneer
settler In that section and the original
owner of the farm which they believe
will soon be converted, as If by magic,
into hustllng and busting little city.
The location of the new town is most
favorable. 1t is six miles from Den
yer, directly on the line of the Water
loo Denver branch of the Rapid Tran
sit line eight miles from Waterloo, nine
miles from Cedar Falls. eight miles
from GAINESVILLE, twelve miles from
Dunkertcn and twelve miles from De-
war.
That the new town is considered as a
most favorable business location is
demonstrated by the fact that already,
before it has been plated, or any work
done. Mr.. Agnew. who owns elevators
at Denver and Dunkerton, has deter
mined to erect an elevator there, thus
giving the farmers in the surrounding
country a convenient market for their
grain.
