Montezuma Will Take Legal
Steps to Recover Tax Paid
to the Rock Island
OF THE FRANCHISE
Action Of tho Company In Abandoning
Passenger Train Service Is Cause Of
Their Discomfort - Terms Upon
Which Tax Was Voted Called For
Passenger Train.

Montezuma, Aug IL. - Claiming
breach of contract, and violation of
the terms of franchise, the city of Mon
tezuma threatens to bring action
against the c., r. & p. Railway Com
pany for the amount of the special
taxes paid by the town as a bonus
to the company at the time the railway
was built, together with six per cent
interest on the amount.
Montezuma people are up In arms
over the action OF the Rock Island road
in ordering the abandonment of the
passenger train. The town is the wes-
tern terminus of the Muscatine Western
constructed several decades since as a
branch of the B.. c. r. & N, which has
lately been merged into the Rock ISL
and system. The Muscatine Western
is the principal mode of egress to the
county seat Of Poweshiek and the an
nulment of the passenger service over
the line has thrown the people into a
fever of excitement, Indignation AMI
protest.
They claim the road was voted a boz
nus of thousands Of dollars by special
tax and given the right Of way over the
principal streets of Montezuma, upon
the express condition that the Musca-
tine Western, its successors and as
signs, would run a first class passenger
train into the city and out OF it daily.
no tUn ic
passenger service has been furnished.
On next Sunday the new order takes
effect which puts a mixed train (pas-
senger and freight combination) into
service and the regular passenger train
Is taken out. This retrograde move
ment is exciting q storm of protest.
The people of Montezuma declare that
the coupling Of coach to freight
train does not meet the requirements of
the franchise, which clearly demands
"first-class passenger train" every
day.
The action OF the railway company
Is regarded as inimical to travel. traf-
fic and the business interests OF Mon
teZuma. What to do. is the question.
The citizens recognize the fact that or
dinarily it is futile to beseech a rail-
road company for favors, for it's de-
,cisions are arbitrarily made and en-
forced. But in this instance they claim
to have recourse. Documents that have
been filed away for years have been
brought to light and the terms OF the
original franchise eagerly scanned.
From these it appears that the city OF
Montezuma has ample and valid legal
grounds for instituting suit for recov-
cry of all the money. together with six
per cent interest, which 1t has paid
the road. And this action will surely
be brought II the company carries its
ordar infn effect

Special to Times-R Republican.
Burlington, Aug. 12.--The desire to
get an office has gotten Professor l..
w. Wilson, formerly in charge OF the

He wants to run for the Office of county
county, Wisconsin, the county In which
the city of Duluth is located. He had
opposition for the nomination, and his
opponent questioned Wilson's right to
a nomination, as he must be a citizen
of the state for at least six months be-
fore he could be entitled to receive a
nomination for public Office in the
neighhoring state. Now the fact is
that Mr.. Wilson voted In Burlington.
Iowa, at the spring election. Evidently
Wilson denied that he was a citizen Of
Iowa. In order to prevent the posi-
bility of disproving his statement he
came to Burlington and deliberately
to L. n. Meldon, and the address from
No. pos College avenue to No. 964 Cent
raj avenue.
When the question came up an in
vestigation was made that showed a
very clumsy forgery. The books We're
opened and the forgery became APP
parent almost at a glance. the change
having been made with a different kind
of ink, than that used by the election
officials. The name L. w. Wilson was
changed to l.. NJ. Meldon on six differ
ent books and the address was changed
from 90S College avenue to 964 Central
avenue.
While employed us teacher in the
commercial department of the high
school here, Mr.. Wilson made many
friends in Burlington, who will regret
that itch for Office developed in this
man the moral obliquity that made it
possible for an educated man and
teacher to commit so fragrant an Of

is highly improbable that he Will ever
