PROPOSE TO MANUFACTURE
FERTILIZER FROM GARBAGE

Abe Rosenfield has game to inspect
fertilizer factories at Chicago and In
dianapolis with view of utilizing the
ideas thus CLEANED in the disposal of
the citY's garbage in the event that
the city council sees fit to take up
with the proposition that the Twin
City Rendering company, of which he
is manager, has made for the colIec-
ton ana disposal of garbage.
The company's proposal to the
council has met with general com
mendatfon throughout the city and
the municipal body will take popu-
lar course if it sees fit to accept it.
The company offers to be bound to
collect garbage three times each week
for 81, 500. or about the amount it now
costs to collect and dispose of it by
the present method.
The principal advantage to he de-
rived will lie in the abolition of the
odious dumpbOat, which is an eyesore
no matter where il is located, and the
sanitary disposal of the many tons of
purifying matter that now tends to
polute the river and reader its water
unfit for use by towns below.

MYSTERY OF DEAD RoBBER
SAID TO HAVE BEEN CLEARED

1t is reported that Ed Estelle, who
was convicted last week as one of the
robbers who assisted in the holdup of
the Burlington train at Marcus last
August, has made confession
in regard to the killing of
Gordon, the member of the
gang who was found dead beside
the engine after the robbers had Sc
cured their booty and left. Estelle
is said to have divulged to Kansas
City detective, on the promise of Sc
crecy until he was placed in the pen
itentiary, the story of the murder.
He said Gordon was shot by Brown
lie, a robl,er who escaped and who
was shot to death while robbing a
bank near Galveston three months
later.
Brownie mistook Gordon for train
man. The wound was not fatal. and
Gordon asked his pals in case capture
became imminent to "chuck him in
the fireboX." This Estelle refused 10
permit. but when flight became neces-
sary Brownie. to avoid possible con
-fession, shot his wounded pal to death
and left him beside the engine.
