W. G. Wilson, of the water works
committee. was called upon to state
as near as he could when the work
would be finished, and 1t is likely
from his report that it will be done
In time.
Prof. G. B. Miller, of the State
Normal school, was called upon to
give his impressions Of the city, as
a newcomer, and to state what ap-
peared its needs. He mentioned par
ticularly a new depot as one of the
most needed improvements. Better
sidewalks In the BUSINESS districts,
straight curb lines. etc.. we're also
among the needs. Further than
this some definite plan for scheme
of grouping of all public buildings
to secure the best results from an
artistic point of view was mentioned.
In the course of his remarks Prof.
Miller took occasion to mention that
he would give some OF his time to
help make the Greeley band an or
ganization of which the city might
be proud.
G. ID. Todd was called on to ex-
plain the new city Improvement law
and sidewalk ordinance expected
soon to be passed by the city council.
He went somewhat into details on
the history of the movement for bet
ter sidewalks, streets, etc.
Following Mr.. Todd I. Rothschild,
chairman of the municipal improve
ment committee Of the club, was
called ON to tell how things were
done and what this committee ex-
pected to do. Mr.. Rothschild de-
serves much Of the credit for what
has already been done in the way
of providing cement sidewalks In the
resident districts.
Prof. A. r. Beardsley brought up
the matter Of public sheds and a
corral where for a nominal charge
farmers could put their teams In
shelter while in the city and the
animals I've safe and protected from

CHURCH BURNED
Old Christian Church Damaged by Fire,
Apparently the Act of Some
Unknown Fire-Bug.

The old Christian church building.
occupied by that congregation for
over thirty years prior to the cree
ton of the new church last winter,
was badly damaged by an incendiary
fire last Friday morning, at a little
past midnight.
The fire was first discovered by
Mrs. Angel, living west of the build
ing, about 2 o'clock. She was
aroused by the smell of smoke. and
on looking toward the church OBJ
served that the building was almost
concealed by a dense volume of
smoke pouring out of it. Luckily,
there were no openings in the build
ing to admit air and the fire smould-
cred for some time before the
appearance of the hose cart and
firemen, Mrs. Angel having raised
an alarm by ringing up central.
The fire must have smouldered an
hour or more before water was in
troduced thru one Of the windows.
when the admission of air created a
big blaze which seriously damaged
the north end of the church, where
the fire started. An investigation
the morning after revealed a guam
tity of partly charred hay under
meath the old pulpit, and the belief

ATTEMPT TO KILL
Henry Schmidt of LambertOn Attacked
by SOn-in-law, Vim. Conrad,
and Badly Cut.
Conrad Arrested, Valves Examination,
and in Jad, Pending Action
of Grand Jury.

Word was received here Friday
night that Henry Schmidt, an old
Lamberton citizen, had been as
saulted by his son-in-law and dam
gerously cut about the face and
neck. Attorney Owens proceeded to
Lamberton from here and had the
accused brot before a Lamberton
justice the next day.
VIM. Conrad, the son-in-law, has
the reputatian of being a dangerous
man when drunk, having served
Jail sentence some years ago for a
drunken assault on his wife. For
some time he kept away from drink,
and lived at peace. At this time he
had been renting a farm south of
Lamberton, in Cottonwood county,
and was in Lamberton with his wife,
who tried to persuade her husband
to drive home toward evening. Re-
fusing, the wife asked her father
to hitch up the team, whereupon
she drove home alone. This enraged
Conrad, who in a drunken fury tried
to buy a revolver and failing in this,
went to the Smith home and abused
his wife, which led to a wordy quar-
rel and ended with Schmidt taking
hold of his father-in-law and slash
ing him fearfully with knife. 1t
was no fault of the assailant that he
did not end the matter by severing
the jugular of the older man, the
doctor finding that one of the cuts
had narrowly missed effecting muir
der then and there The assailant' S
brother-in-law, named Buck, inter
fered and saved Smiths life. The
wounded man fled to a doctor
office and had his wounds dressed,
and will recover if no complications
follow.
Marshal Albeit of Lamberton
went out to Conrad's place Friday
night, but did not effect his capture
until next morning. Conrad waived
examination, and on the advice of
Attorney Owens was taken to the
county Jail without bonds, Marshal
Albeit arriving here Monday even
ing. The grand jury will undoubt-
edly take action in the case next
week.

ance of the commander, have secured

Comrades Fedderly, Gale and Cain
were fortunate in securing the Chris
tian church for both services, which
will comfortably seat as many or

and is much better adapted for CIV
ing all chance to see and hear.

stitute the cemetery committee.

other towns to relieve the veterans
altogether from the drudgery per-
tanning to these annual patriotic
demonstrations in their honor, and

less than afford the veterans every
assistance in their power until such
