REPAIR OF CITY STREETS
COMMITTEE ON CITY INTERESTS
CONSIDERS THE QUESTION.
Recomme ndation Will He Made for
the Appointment of an Expert
ON Such Work.

The Commercial Club committee on city
interests held an interesting meeting yes
terday afternoon to discuss the street re-
pair question. This matter was brought up
some time ago and a subcommittee COM
posed Of William Hauesen, John w. Holtz-
man and Mayor Bookwalter was appointed
to secure information from other cities re-
garding the method of repairing streets.
Very little of this information has been
received, and the members of the commit
tee will retire from office before most of the
reports reach Indianapolis. A report was
received from Buffalo which shows that the
conditions in that city are no better than
they are in Indianapolis.
The committee will not depend altogether
on reports from other cities, but will formu-
late a report to be made to the board of
directors at meeting to be held next week.
The committee will make some recommen-
dations which may remedy the repair prob
lem in this city il adopted. The committee
will recommend that an officer who shall
be an expert on street repairs be appointed
so that the present system of securing re-
pairs may be abolished Under the plan to
be suggested the officer Inspector can
order repairs as needed without the matter
going through the city engineers depart
ment. The plan also provides for per-
feet system of inspection, and in cases
where streets are torn up by contractors
and not repaired Immediately the inspector
shall order that the work be done and as
sess the costs against the contractor.
The committee will also recommend that
residents along the permanently improved
streets be appointed as volunteer corps
of assistant inspectors TO report TO the city
inspector at least once a week the condi-
ton of the streets and whether any repairs
a sufficient number of public-spirited citi-
zens can be induced to make such reports.
and under the system any bad CONDITION
or wear on the streets could be repaired at

Britt, May Sensational develop
ments are taking place in the express
robbery case. There are SO many ru
mors afioat and so many theories are
advanced that the average citizen is
mystified and Ii is difficult to get at the
truth Of the matter 1t is given out by
detectives that of all the money stolen,
$4,000, has been recovered. Three thou
sand dollars are alleged to have been
found under the building occupied by
the express company and $1,000 We're
found elsewhere, the hiding place not
being disclosed. The detectives, who
have been here four days, returned to
Chicago last night and many doubt
whether the money has actually been
found. Some believe the report is
merely a ruse on the part of the de-
tectives in order to throw the guilty
parties off their guard. Several persons
are under surveillance here and the be-
lief that the work was done by local
parties is growing. Some arrests may
,e made today. Agent Peterson has
ben discharged and it IL stated that the
company very strongly suspects him of
completely in the robbery. He has
many friends here, however, who are
confident of his innocence and refuse to
believe he was connected With the
crime. Three men are being watched
closely and their arrest will not be a
surprise here.
A little girl. - years of age, named
Floy Mudgett, of this place, states that
she saw two men come out of the eX-
press office at 10 o'clock in the day
time with something black over their
faces" Further than this she can not
describe them. The two patent wedi-
cine men are now in the city, being ex-
amined by the authorities. There is
absolutely nothing to connect them with
the robbery except that they We're at

came in. and at several of the places

Garwin. May with the head blown
into a shapeless mass as the result OF
the discharge of shotgun. the lifeless
body of S. Christensen was found yes
,erday on the stairway of his home.
There are many indications of suicide,
but the coroner's jury rendered a YER
diet of accidental death. Christensen
who had lived here for a number OF
years and was well known in this vi
cinity, was found by members of his
family shortly after the fatal shot had
been fired, but life was extinct. Whether
he accidentally dropped the gun and
received the contents in the head when
il was discharged or whether he delib-
erately placed the gun to his temple and
fired the fatal shot will never be known.
There appears to be no motive for sui
eide. His home life was happy and so
far as known he had never expressed
any desire to end his life. Christensen
was formerly mayor of the town and
for time operated the elevator here
FOR the Northern Grain Company. He
had not been very successful of late
financially and this is The only reason
that can be given to support the theory
of suicide.
The deceased leaves wife and six
children. They are Mrs, James Dobson,
living west of town; Gladys, who lives
at home; Mrs. Baxter, living in the
western part of the state: Fred, Amy
and Harry, ali living near here.

Special to Times-Republican.

Mason City. May 5.-A special re-
ceived here by the Globe Gazette at 8
O'Clock this morning, from Britt, states
that there is no truth whatever in the
rumor that John Peterson, the agent
at Britt for the United States express
company, had confessed to the recent
robbery. The detectives claimed to
have found $4,000 in package under
Peterson's Office and took it to the
Commercial bank and counted it, but
Peterson firmly asserts his innocence,
and the general belief is that the pack
age was not the one stolen. but one
used as a bait to endeavor to wiring a
confession from Peterson. No one in
Britt believes that Peterson WAS guilty
and his neighbors declare that he was
robbed just as stated. After General
Superintendent Byrn, With the half
dozen detectives in the case, had failed
to get a confession from Peterson, they
rendered him his position again, which
he Indignantly refused TO accept. The
mystery is as deep as ever.
