Mildred has been a patient sufferer for
some time, lingering between life and
death for three or four days previous to
the time Of her DEATH which occurred at

seems to have been complication of

NAY DRAIN MUD lake
Drainage Ditch Contemplated
For Professor Kent's Aban-

Necessary Number of Signatures.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. April Professor ID.
A. Kent, of Jewell, was in the city yes
terday getting signatures to a petition
asking that the old Mud Lake bed To-
Gated north of Jewell be drained by the
county and that the costs be taxed to
the abutting property ownsrs. The
lake bed contains hundreds of acres OF
rich land. The professor himself att
tempted to drain it four years ago and
sunk small fortune n the venture,
which failed and lost him the property.
Since the method would put the most
of the cost upon the owners of the lake
IT is likely to be adopted, inasmuch as
all to whom costs are taxed must be di-
rect beneficiaries to the work.
Last season the lake was a real lake
all summer-and is yet for that matter
The new plan for the drainage of the
property contemplates the building of q
large drain ditch and putting it in
nearer the head of the lake. Placing
the work in the hands Of the county
insures a satisfactory job and one, too,
where the cost will practically fall up-
on the lake bed owners The petition
circulated by Mr.. Kent is required by
law to contain 100 signatures. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Kent secured the
required number. He IS carrying out
the proceedings under section 1852 of
the code. Professor Kent asks that the
county undertake the work on the
ground that the public convenience will
be subserved. His success with his PEE
tition indicates that the board of SUI
pervisors will probably be induced to
make drainage district of the lake.
