is out upon land owned by wealthy

Legislature last winter to pay him $1,000
damag es but it was shevled and in it's
stead a bill was passed giving the board
of control authority to make a settle
ment with him This law went into
force today and it is expected nego-
tiations will be entered into at once
sewage from the State Orphans Home
empties into a small creek that flows
into the Mississippi river above tho
intake of the city water works and
there has been trouble over this for a
long time. At Mt. Pleasant there has
been war on for many years to pre-
vent the state dumping its sewage
into an almost dry run which leads
thru good farms. The board desires
that plants for the disposal of sewage
at each of these places shall be con-
Structed on modern lines without eX-
pensive sewers. This is what the pro-
posals call for and the board is assured
of some bids.

Iowa City, July 1.-Frank Hamilton.
a negro, was arrested here yesterday.
charged with assault with intent to
kill a policeman in Davenport, Ed
Brehmer, and with committing rob-
berry.
| 1t is alleged that Hamilton slashed
the officer in the face with razor, in
an attempt to escape, after the police
man had arrested him. Brehmer
knocked down his assailant, and the
man, while PROSTATE. kicked him in the
officers pocket, and one out of his own
and then fled across the river, hold
ing Brehmer at bay with the two
weapons.
When captured here, Hamilton had a
gold watch and $40 on his person.
Officer Brehmer came hither from
Davenport, identified the prisoner. and
took him back to Davenport to stand
trial.
A neat piece of detective work was
done in connection with the case by
Deputy Marshal Chairman. The pris-
oner was detained here first, merely
on the charge of being a tramp. When
Officer Chairman saw the watch, with
its emblem, an elk. he declared that the
man had probably stolen the timepiece
from an Elk at nearby carnival. He
suggested that Davenport be commu-
nicated with. and the first telephone
message to Davenport brought the re-
ply that Hamilton was wanted there,
altho Iowa City had received no word
to that effect prior to the arrest here.
