.AIJT0M01|L|STS To Be HUNTED BY
|RATE CITIZEN WITH A BIG GUN

Relating the cause Of this determin-
alton Mr.. Schultz said he was driving
along Fourth street and was watching
a bus driven at a gallop in the same
direction. Suddenly hearing the chus
chug of a motor behind him he looked
back and saw a machine was coming
at such terrific speed that he could
not have gotten across the bridge in
safety if he had tried and the only
thing for him 10 do was 70 turn aside,
although ne was only a few feet from
the bridge and should have had the
right of way. To show how fast tn.
gas wagon was travelling Mr.. Schultz
says three passengers bounced clear
off the seat when the bridge was hit
and in a cloud of dust the madly rum
ming car tore around the Elm street
corner ahead of the bus which was
already going at a high rate or speed.

Complications which may involve the
property in a long procedure in the
courts are arising in the estate of
Fred R. Hopkins. the old man who
was found hanging dead from water
wagon near Clyde last Thursday.
Divorce proceedings which We're in
stituted by Mrs. Hopkins during De-
cember. 1906. and the granting of the
decree may play no small part in the
case.
1t is said by friends of the deceased
will was made by Hopkins which
provided his divorced wife. in case he
should die. should have all his property.
Other rumors afioat are to the eff
feet he intended his estate should go

sion from the Decarie company for
selling the plant"
Mr.. Chute attempted to sell Mr..
Tausick "a new boiler and failed. Mr..
TauSick stated to Mr.. Chute the peO-
pie who would purchase the boiler for
him would probably charge per cent
for doing so.
1t is probable the representative of
the Decarie company will remain in
the city until tomorrow evening when
the council will meet. 1t is said every
effort will be made to persuade the
city to accept the plant. According to
the city's financial condition when the
contract was made it is absolutely
worthless. The company may, how
ever, ask to install the plant and let
it be paid for when the city becomes
in better financial condition.
