LIGHTHOUSE ROADS NOW
READY TO Be REPAIRED
KENT LEVY COURT AWARDS CONTRACT
TO ATLAS DREDGING co. WILMINGTON
Work to Begin in About a Week or Ten DAYS
at Cost Of $40 per Working Day and Ex.
pected TO be Completed in Twelve Days.

At meeting Of the Kent county
Levy Court last Thursday, called in
special session by the president, the
subject ST repairing the Bombay Hook
Lighthouse road was taken up for
some consideration, and after some de-
liberation a resolution was passed,
ordering the work finished which was
abandoned last year by the Miles
Dredging Company, of Camden \. J.
The contract was awarded Thursday to
the Atlas Dredging Company of Viii
mington, Pusey Il Jones Co., owners.
The contract price is $40 day and it
is estimated by the company that they
can complete the work in about twelve
days. 1t will be week or ten davs
before the company will start to work
on the break. The matter is in charge
of the following Levy Court Commit
tee: w. H. Baggs, Chairman; B. H.
Moore, A. R. Benson, H. f. Mabrev
and Ezekiel Cowgirl.
1t is understood that the Atlas
Dredging Co. will not attempt to fill
III the present "break" which has be-
come much wider since the work was
abandoned. The plan proposed. is to
build the road around the break in the
shape of horseshoe curve on the
marsh side In this way they will save
the expense of considerable piling &c.
at the break, which is now twenty-five
or thirty feet deep. 1t is not expected
that the cost will exceed 81 600 in all.
When this road is completed, which is
now an assured fact, the road from the
Lighthouse along the bayshore to
Woodland Beach may be revived.
The tides have so completely damaged
the main marsh road over to the Beach
recently, that there is little probability
of the Levy Court going to the expense
to repair it this year, when with few
little repairs the bayshore road can be
used. This route which extends bv
the farm of Frederick Lane, the LOTHIAN
Iafm ana Otners, VIII make the distance
two miles longer to Woodland, but
even this is better than no roads at all.
The resolution which orders the work
to be done was fathered by Mr.. w. H.
Baggs of this town, who has labored
zealously for the citizens of Bombay
Hook Island. The resolution is as
follows:
Whereas this Court having advertised for bids
according TO the provisions Oflaw in this behalf
ior the ihlshing o! the Light House Road work
across the marsh in First District and having re.
celVed no response or d, as advertised Tor, aud
as II IS the sense of this Court that said road for
the benefit OF the ctiZ rs of said district should
De finished as soon as possible Therefore re-
solved. That we do employ the Atlas Dredging
company ot " mingtOn, d H., to do the WORK ON

ton received by thus Court from the SECRETARY of

and true nobility until type of humanity is pro-
duced which might be taken as pristine in it's
native simplicity and honesty. 1t is barely pos
sible that a travested impression of this original
creation has survived in the foreign mind, making
it think of all Americans as backwoodsmen with
more or less of acquired guile, and whose present
counterparts are the spectacular creatures of
wild west show. This ncongruous specimen
should be distinguished from Coopers frontiers
man; also his Indian from those seen at railway
station on the plains The old charge that he

and left no opening for the farmers
to get the drop.
That the outlaw stood in no fear
of his friends to take advantage of
the opening was vouched for by
himself, he having remarked to the
farmer, "I am not afraid of YOU"
During the day the outlaw re-
marked that he needed a new hols-
ster, one of his revolvers being un-
supplied. Young Gold6nch was in
structed TO fud the leather, after
which the outlaw soon made hol-
ster that eventually proved to be of
little use to him.
Monday evening the outlaw once
again demonstrated that he was
man of nerve. Goldfnch was told
he mi ght 60. He was, however,
cautioned, on pain of death, not to
tell what had happened until We'd
nesday. 1t was this very display
of nerve that had hithertofore made
the outlaw apparently bullet proof,
that this time caused his ruin.
Goldfnch, instead of being suffi-
GENTLY terrorized to keep peace,
soon spread the news and aroused
a posse. Goldfnch was much ex-
cited and told disconnected story,
but the details seem to be all cor
rect. During his stay at the Eddy
ranch the outlaw told of his stop
with Sanders near Wenatchee. From
his conversation it was gathered
that his intention was to travel
south had he not been interrupted
by the posse.
