Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-07-04
DEBORAH GETS
POST OFFICE SITE.
U. s. CONGRESS VOTES 5000 FOR
SITE IN DEBORAH.
At the Last Moment Senator J. P. DolliveI
Urged and Backed up by Congressman
Haufen. Slips into Public Building
Bill IN Appropriation for the
City Of Decorah.

Decorah put her finger in the pie
and pulled out the last plum in the
long list of appropriations for public
buildings made by congress just before
it's adjournment on Saturday, and
President Roosevelt added his name to
the bill within few moments, and it
became law.
It is a $50 appropriation for a
postofice site. This is the usual
method of procedure. It is the custom
to first get an appropriation for a site
and purchase the land, and then the
appropriation for the building is sure
to follow. at some future date. It
may be next year. and it may not be
for four or five years, but it is q
practical certainty that within short
time magnificent federal postoffice
building will grace one Of our main
throughfares, and add its beauty to
the handsome city we are building.
What complement to the magnificent
court house. the elegant hotel, and
the beautiful opera house. Then we
need fine public library and it will
be complete.
When the appropriation is made for
y postoface building, it will not be
less than $50, 600. and in all probabili-
ty will be go. 600 or $75,OO In the
same bill Mason City, which secured
q site few years ago. was given an
appropriation of 80, 900. This will
erect q handsome structure that will
fill the demands for many years to
come.
We have repeatedly, talked this
matter over with Congressman
Haugen. and he has been doing every
thing in his power during this session
to land it. When the matter came
before the Senate on Thursday he
made an appeal to Senator Dolliver Of
this state, who added an amendment
to the bill providing for s5. 600 for De.
corah. Many others were after similar
plums, and it was feared that the
conference committee for the House
and Senate would cut it out. but they
succeeded in getting it passed, and it
is now a law.
Anyway, hats off to Senator DOLL
iver and Congressman Haugen.

PLUCkY CONDUCTOR.
Captures Robber on Alton-eurIington
Train.

st. Louis.-Conductor Everett b.
Haywood, who single handed over
came a train robber on the Alton-B Bur-
lngton fast train, reached st. Louis
Monday. He said that the man admit
ted to him that he had robbed the Rock
Island passenger train at almost the
same place November 7th.
Conductor Haywood says that the
robber snapped his revolver at him and
that probably the only thing that saved
his life was that the hammer de-
scended on his thumb.
Surrendering his revolver to the con-
ductor, the robber made break for
liberty. Haywood followed closely, af-
ter firing one shot, and grabbed him
by the coat collar as the robber was
trying to Jump from the car. The rob
ber slipped from his coat, and cling
ing to the side rail of the car with one
hand, Haywood fought him into sub
mission on the steps of the swiftly
moving car. After he had been dragged
into the vestibule again, the robber
continued to fight desperately and
Haywood says that he was compelled
to pound him over the head with the
captured revolver until he was sense
less.

Denver.-An Aspen special to the
Republican says: Sunday morning at
AIS o'clock as c. H. Pitney. assistant
editor of the Aspen Times. was SHOW
cling snow in front of his residence.
he was shot in the neck by Joe War
ner. Pitney was at once treated by
DR.. Robinson, who discovered that the
bullet had entered on the right side,
going around the windpipe under the
skin and coming out at the left side.
Just as Warner shot Pitney put his
hand on his face, throwing his head
back, and this act undoubtedly saved
his life.
An alarm was Immediately given and
officers took the trail of Warner. who
started down the river. He was fol-
lowed and captured and placed in the
jail at Aspen on the charge OF assault
with intent to kill. The trouble be-
tween Warner and Pitney. it is said,
has been of long standing, and Is al
legged to have arisen over attentions
paid by Pitney to Warmers wife. Pit
ney is not seriously injured and will
recover.

VIII Preserve Mountain Sheep.

Denver. - Inquiries are constantly
being received by the state game com
missioner asking when there will be
an open season on mountain sheep. At
present the question of an open season
remains with the Legislature, and un-
less special law is passed to that
effect there will never be time when
these sheep can be killed with i'm
munity in Colorado. There are perhaps
two or three thousand mountain sheep
in Colorado. They are multiplying
somewhat rapidly, but 1t is the desire
Of the game department to keep the
picturesque animals immune from the
huntsman's gun. Under the present
law, which is rigidly enforced, fine OF
5000 is imposed for killing mountain
sheep.
