DEDICATE COURT HOUSE
Twenty Thousand People Witnessed
Celebration at Vinton.

Special to fmes-Republtcan.
Vinton, July 5.-Vinton's celebration
of the grea. national holiday and her
dedication Of Benton county's magnifi-
cent new court house yesterday was
al land more than could have been
hoped for by the most sanguine people.
The weather was good, and the city
streets, business houses and dwellings
the most deliberately decorated since
the return of Company G from Cuba
in 1899 Every feature of the program
was fully carried out with more than
10000 people present.
Benton's first court house was a
small frame structure erected in 1849,
but standing incompleted for want of
funds until 1s51-1S52, when it was
com pieted after fashion so that court
counld be held therein and the county
offices located. The first celebration in
the history Of the county was in 1852,
which the record says was attended by
the great crowd of fifty people, the en-
tire county turning out.
Hon. George l.. Dobson. former sec
rotary of state, delighted his hearers
at the morning exercises at the park,
and several speakers were heard at the
-dedicatory exercises held on the
grounds Of the new building at 100
.. m.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, July 5.-A shooting ARRAY
occurred at Vinton at an early hour
this. morning, resulting in the death of
Frank Finley; youth of 10 years of
age. Finley was killed by the night
marshal of the town during an assault
on the officer.
A crowd of young men had celebrat-
ed the Fourth until late hour, and
among them was companion of F'in-
ley whose behavior was such that the
marshal placed him under arrest. The
fellow resisted the officer and Finley
came to his aid, grabbing the police
mans club from his hands and beating
him over the head. Believing the
young men would get the best of him,
and perhaps kill him, the policeman
pulled his revolver and shot Finley,
the latter dying in short time.
While the action of the officer in
shooting to kill is criticized, there is
little doubt but what he acted in self
defense and that the law will uphold
him. The affair has created intense
excitement in Vinton.

terday. summer car with a trailer
was mounting the hill to Fairmount
park, both cars loaded to the limit,
when the overhead switch blew out.
The front end of the car directly over
the motorman was instantly ablaze.
The motorman leaped from the car,
after turning off the power, but re-
gained it before the train proceeded
far, and succeeded in setting the
brakes,
The damage however, had already
been done. The passengers when they
saw the flames sweeping back directly
in the faces of those in the front car
became panic stricken and a struggle
began to escape.
Some Of the passengers sustained
their injuries in the struggle, but the
majority of them were caught and
dragged over the street for some dis
lance, a few at the same time being
trampled upon. The injured, but one
of whom is expected to die, are:
Mrs. Virginia Illison, city; uncon-
scious when picked up; head injured.

siderable attention in the political
world Of Iowa from frequent appear
ances upon the stump and from an ac-
tive participation in political affairs OF
the state is considering the matter
very seriously and that he is likely
soon to make an announcement of his
candidacy. 1t is well-known that Sem
ator C. C. Dowell of Polk county, has
considered he matter and there are in
timations that an announcement from
him will not be a surprise
Furthermore 1t is said on the au-
thority of those who know that Judge
S. +. Prouty, who made two unSuccess-
full attempts to Gust Hull, is not averse
to trying ii. again. -Four years has
elapsed since Prouty last attempted
the race and it can be said that while
he was successful in getting the cleo
ton he Jared the Hull machine very
badly and it has been running rather
wabbly every since. 1t is conceded
now that the thing that defeated
Prouty the first time was the fact THAI
Hull had the machinery and that the
election was stolen from him. The ball
lots in that election have been a source
Of contention ever since and it is al
legged that they were destroyed and
that the threat to dig them UP and ex-
pose the election forced Hull to make
a number Of political appointments
that he would not otherwise have done.
that he would not otherwise have
made. In tine second campaign when
Prouty had the machinery the thing
that defeated Prouty was the tissue
ballots that he allowed his lieutenonts
to- use on election day. They We're not
tissue ballots in reality They were on
paper a little too thin for comfort but
they were printed at a printing office,
the management of which was friendly
to Hull and there is still a belief that
they were put on thin paper as a Fart
of conspiracy.
There are predictions that the fo.-
lowings of these three men will get to-
gether and agree on a candidate. Es-
pecially IS it predicted that Dowell and
Coffin will reach an understanding and
lf one Of them is candidate the other
will not be. 1t is predicted too that If
Prouty is sure that a real strong can
aidate Is In the race with a show to
win he will be perfectly willing to re-
main out himself.
