ACCIDENT NOT SERIOUS.
Broken Down Golfer Dam Will b.
Replaced in Few Days.


There will be no serious delays as a
result of the breaking down Of the
Golfer DAM near the Center street
bridge Friday afternoon. While it will
require few days to replace the dam.
the loss will be represented by the time
taken to rebuild it and the cost. A
new Golfer dam is to be built on top
of the disabled one, that being thought
to be the quickest way to replace it.
This second dam will be reinforced and
strengthened so that the accident of
Friday need not be repeated. Had the
dam toppled over a few minutes be-
fore it did, while men We're working
on the down stream side of it. serious
accidents might have resulted. The
going out of the Golfer dam in no wise
damages the repaired portions of the
mill dam.

into Topeka today with the idea that

whom he beat with dog whip on
Sunday. Mr. Mullen today instructed
his lawyers to draw papers in $780,

his and her statements, that no gen
tIeman or lady would refuse to allow
him to use the telephone a few min

informed by his daughter of what Mr.
Mullen had said to her. Mr.. Dimes
armed himself and went to Mr. Null
lens house to demand an apology
Mr.. Mullen invited him to talk the
matter over, but without further par
leying Mr.. Dimes struck Mr.. Mullen
repeatedly with the whip and his fist
knocking him down, and continuing
to strike him after he was down. Mr.
Mullen says that Mr. Dimes also drew
his revolver and threatened to shoot
him and his wife, who witnessed the
assault, but Mr.. Dimes asserts that the
revolver fell from his pocket and that
he had no intention of using it.

Fully Uwo-thirds of them are now here

reach a conclusion before tonight or
tomorrow morning. The majority are
said to be opposed to taking any ac-
ton which might possibly result in two
state tickets, and the impression seems
to be getting stronger that the com

Guilty confronting them, and come to a
decision that will lead to only one
ticket. While the Cummins people are
still confident that they control the
situation. the Perkins following have
not abandoned their position that they
