experimenting in making it mother

The Police Courts.

Justice Clark had an all afternoon
session Tuesday, in which he listened
to a case of larceny brought upon an
information filed by r. w. Armstrong
against Frank Brown, a fireman in the
employ of the Iowa Central. Mr.. Brown,
it seems. borrowed $685. from Mr..
Armstrong late In October, giving him
as security an order on his time. On
Nov. 10 he drew all his money, due
from the company, because of trip
to Hot Springs, which was necessary
on account of a severe attack of rheu-
fnatism. Brown made no secret of his
going away, the fact being announced
in the newspapers several days before
he left When Armstrong; money be-
came due, and he found that he could
not collect on his order, he swore out
an information charging larceny, the
warrant from which was served upon
Mr.. Brown on his return home Tues
day. The case was tried before a jury
composed OF c. T. Schoenhut, r. G.
Wallace, A. l.. Putnam, Charles Will
Jams, RAMA Euziere and M. D. Ander-
son, which retired a little before 5 and
returned at about $50 with a statement
that it was unable to agree. The jury
stood three and three. No time has
been fixed as yet for a retrial of the
case.
T. Ryan, L. Risvold T. G. Sloan and
Charles Phillips, arrested by Deputy
Marshal Cochran and Officers Hurd and
Clark on charges of intoxication, were
in the mayors court this morning
Ryan and Phillips paid the costs while
Risvold was given six and Sloan ter

Pumping Capacity Doubled and

Drawn From City Wells-Additional
100000 Gallon Pump lnstaIled-oth-
err Work and the Cost to City.

At this particular time, when water
rates and the cost of city water are a
source of so much comment and dis
ussion, it will doubtless be of interest
% MANY TO know something of what
mas been accomplished by the water
supply department during the past
year. The one important fact that will
BE most appreciated is that unless the
unforeseen happens no more river wa
ter will be pumped into the mains, eth
or at times of fires or when the hyd-
fants are flushed. This has been made
possible by the placing at the water
works of an additional pump that has
tonhled the capacity of the pumping
station.
Heretofore the trouble has always
been in case of fires or when 1t was
necessary to flush the city mains, the
DUMP used to draw the water from the
wells across the river was not sufnclent

wedge that would preclude enforcement
of the rule laid down by the board ana
compel that body to act as a sort OF
Hague tribunal to arbitrate the case OF
each individual. with inevitable dissat-
isfaction in the end.
Another question that came before
the board was the matter of more sys-
TEN in the purchasing OF supplies anu
auditing Of accounts. 1t appears the
ianitors and others have at times peeh
careless in regard to securing proper
acquisitions before buying needed aftt-
cles. and some confusion results IN ap-

official action was taken, 1t was agree
that the matter should be given alleh-
ton and more care exercised IN the lu-
ture On request of the supefintehdsii'
the committee on supplies was instruct

SNOW WAS HEAVY.

Interferes But Slightly With franc

Winter. a little slow in arriving
seems to have at last arrived. ana the
snow. that began falling Tuesday al
tarnoon. continued all thru the night
About four inches fell and 1t was SO
heavy that 1t drifted but little. Kali
road men report it as general all over
the state, altho the fall in the vicinity
of Mason City is heavier than IL was
here. and Is drifting more. RallWay
traffic was only slightly interfefeo Wlth
altho most of the passenger trains ineu
this city this morning were pehlho
schedule time. This is not SO much due
to the snow as the fact that 1t Is the
first cold snap, which always mas Ten
dency to delay traffic.
Telegraph and telephone companies
did not suffer from the storm nearly Sc
nuch as one would ordinarily expect
The Western Union and Postal each
had a few wires down. but the trouble
was not at all serious. The Marshail
Telephone Company reports wires IN
rood shane, both in the city and on the
farmers rural lines. Toll lines were MOI
seriously affected The Iowa company
found few wires down. but the condi
ton was not bad.
Street car traffic was not impeded 70
any great degree, altho the first few
trims early this morning slow time was
made, and some little difficulty was
encountered in securing a good rail.
