MISS HICKEY'S
SONG RECITAL

The song recital given Monday
evening by Miss Vine Hickey, with
Mrs. A. L. Layton as accompanist
was highly appreciated by al who
so fortunate as to attend.
Miss Hickey has sweet soprano
voice and the selections on the pro-
qramme were excellent. The singer
received much applause.
The audience was not large owing
to the interest being taken in election.
This fact is to be regretted as it is
seldom that such talent visits Wads-
worth.

Paine's Celery Compound has long

Gus, morose and respondent, have been

SETTLEMENTS MADE
Iowa Central Pays Over Sill, 600
on Lives OF Enginemen Lost
in Clifford Wreck.
Estates Of John White and Elmer
Ogle Receive Practically
$4,000 Each.
Patton's Estate to Receive About
ST, 0O0...No Effort Made in
Frew's Case.

The final chapter in the settlements
on the part Of the Iowa Central Rail-
way Company with the estates of the
three enginemen killed in the head-on
A and light engine, near Clifford, on
the night of Feb Is last, was enacted
in this city today, when Thomas w.
Patton, of Liscomb, was appointed adj
ministrator of the estate of his son,
Frank Patton, fireman on the light en-
CINE, and agreed upon the settlement
for his sons death.
The settlement for the lives lost has
been hanging fire for some time, ow-
ing to the arrangement in the Patton
case, and the selection of the admins
traitor. Mr.. Patton came to the city to-
day. accompanied by Mr.. l.. II. Smith,
received the appointmentof the court as
administrator. Bonds We're furnished
by Mr. Smith. Claim Agent Marquis
Barr of the Central, was here to meet
Mr.. Patton and make the final ar
rangements of the settlement.
Mr.. Barr was asked concerning the
company's settlement on the Patton
death, but refused to make a state
ment, saying that it was a matter
about which he could not talk. 1t is
understood, however, that Patrons es-
tate will receive approximately $1,000,
and that that amount will be accepted
rather than to engage in litigation.
Patton was firing for "Wallie" Frew,
the engineer on the light engine, who is
considered by the railroad company as
being responsible for the wreck. Ac-
cording to railroad rules governing en-
ginemen, the fireman is supposed to be
conversant with the orders. If Pat
ton knew the meeting point with No. 4.
as the company feels he should, it is
considered that altho not directly re-
S ponsible, he might be held as party
to~the neglect AS Patton assisted his
aged parents from his monthly earn
ings the railroad company is inclined
to be lenient in the matter, and has
been willing to grant to the estate the
amount of money that 1t would proba-
bly, have to spend in attorneys fees
and court costs in defending case for
damages. The Pattons' first claim,
filed with the company, was for $4,000
In the settlements with the other en-
ginemen killed it is understood Mrs.
John White, of Oskaloosa, administra-
trix of the estate of her husband, En-
gineer John White, who was pulling
the passenger train, has been paid ap-
proximately $4,000. A similar amount,
practically has been paid to Mr.. w. H.
Ogle, of this city, administrator of the
estate of his son, Fireman Elmer Ogle,
who was killed on Whites engine.
No attempt will be made by the rail-
road company, it is thought, to settle
with the estate of Engineer Frew.
Neither is the company anticipating
suit for damages.

Betty Lee Loses Teeth as Result OF
Encounter With Arthur CrenshaW.


Encounter With Arthur CrenshaW. :
Mrs. Osborne Pate. better known as
Betty Lee, is minus several OF her
pearly white teeth. Betty will be re-
membered as the colored woman who a
few years ago gained considerable no.
toriety by taking shot at Riley Love,
causing the latter to do lightning
stunt up South Center street. Betty's
trouble this time grew out of dis
agreement with one Arthur Crenshaw
regarding some clothing which Betty
claimed belonged to her. The CONVEX
sation becoming heated, vile names
were called and Crenshaw proceeded to
land heavily on Mrs. Pate's mouth,
loosening and dislodging several teeth.
She swore out n warrant for Cren-
shaw's arrest, charging him with as
sault and batterq. He was placed I'M
der arrest yesterday afternoon by Con-
stable Haas and had his hearing before
Justice Burritt this morning. The
court has taken the case under advise
ment and pending the decision Cren-
shaw will remain in jail
Bill" Sellers, wellknown young
colored man Of this city, was arrested
by Constable Haas yesterday on an in
formation filed by John Green, col
orcd barber, charging Sellers with as
sault and battery. The trouble oc-
Cured some time ago, and resulted
over words that followed an accusa-
ton on the part of Green to the effect
that Sellers was too intimate with Mrs.
Green. Sellers, being aware that he
would likely be arrested, left town, not
returning until Monday when he was
placed under arrest. His hearing is
set for 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Harry Young and James Mccarthy
were arrested for intoxication by Off
Ger Weaver Monday night, and were
arraigned in the mayors court this
morning. Mccarthy paid the costs and
was discharged and Young was or
dered to the stone pile for six days.

o DECIDE ON IMPROVEMENTS
Streets and Alleys Committee of the
Council Visit Portions Of City in Need

Streets and Alleys Committee of the
Council Visit Portions of City in Need
of Permanent improvements.
The streets and alleys committee OF
the city council, composed of Peter
Kreutzer, chairman, /. r. Kirby, Will
lam Fisher Tony Psenicka and w. A.
WATSON, accompanied by City Surveyor
William Bremner and Street Commits
sioner George Ordway spent the alter
noon in visiting the different portions
CT the city in need Of permanent I'M
provements. Chairman kreutzer pre-
pared considerable data some time ago
concerning the improvements needed.
especially in the way of Sidewalks
street grades, etc. 1t was to have the
entire committee see the work outlined
and in anticipation that the trip today
was made.
The petition of Thirteenth street
residents, for sidewalk leading from
the Soldiers Home gate on the west
side of the street to the Main street
corner, was in the mind of the commit
tee on the trip Of inspection. The COM
mittee is favorably inclined toward a
walk reaching to point west on sum
nit street three blocks, from the Sol
diers' Home gate but it is feared that
the street grading for the Thirteenth
street walk will be too great at the
present time. There is some talk or al
lowing the people of that street to lay
a board walk temporarily, without
bringing the street to grade, to do serv-
ice until the committee can see its way
clear to make the necessary grade.
