THE IRON WORKS
One of WinnfieId'S rlOSt
Useful Enterprises.
READY FOR CASTINGS
Locomotive Cylinder Will be
Cast and Finished Com
plete--New Machines.

The Winfield Iron Works is an
enterprise that fills long felt
want in Winfield and one that
the town is justly proud of.
Monday evening while unloading
our big printing press from the
car il was found that an I'M
portant piece of it had been
broken i'm transit. L he piece
was carried to the Iron Works
and Tuesday morning it was ready
so that the press could be erected,
new piece having been dressed
out to a mathematical exactness.
1t saved us a delay of ut least ten
days and, of course, we are, glad
that the Winfield Iron Works is
one of the towns permanent
enterprises.
The moulding room and the
cupola for the foundry have been
completed and it is expected a
heat will be taken off this week.
A pattern maker has been at
work for some time on a pattern
for a cylinder on one side of l..
& A. locomotive No. 2. This is
quite feat to record as taking
place In Winfield, especially SO
when it is remembered that six
years ago there was no railroad
here and less than three hundred
inhabitants in the town.
Mr.. Musgrave, the superindent
of the Iron Works, informed q
Sentinel representative that with
a few more machines, which have
already been ordered, he can dc
any work ON n locomotive oi
other machinery that can be
done in any shop.

Third Term PLAYS PART
IN INSURANCE AFFAIRS
Presidents Refusal to Run Again Is
Basis Of Legal Argument
IN Trustee Fight.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Presieent
Roosevelt's refusal to accept a third
term in office has been made part of a
legal argument by the Mutual Lifo In
surance Company in its attempt to re-
tain upon the so-called administration
ticket for trustees the names of Colonel
Alfred NJ. Shook, General Benjamin F.
Tracy, Judge George Gray and Harlow
y. Higginbotham, members of the in
ternational policy-holders' committee.
The fact that the President has said
he would not accept a denomination, il
is argued, would not justify any of
his friends in trying 10 invalidate his
denomination IL it was legally made.
Likewise, Il is not for any person be-
sides those named on the administra-
tion ticket to try to have lneIr names
removed. This argument is put forth
ip a supplementary brief filed today by
James McKeen, general solicitor for
the Mutual. as follows:
1T would be absurd to argue that be-
cause his Excellency. the President OF
the United States, has expressed In
writing his disinclination to accept a
nomination for the Office Of President
again the act of a regularly organized
public convention that might place him
IN nomination would not be legal. and
that an application might lie on behalf
Of some one alleging he is a friend of
the President TO eXpunge his name from
the certificate Of nomination before any
formal declination OF the nomination
should have been fled"
