HARTFORD, Conn. July TO- 1907.
The late Col John Mason LOOMS OF Chi
cago left a million and a quarter dollars
in his will to found the LOOMS Institute
IN the town OF Windsor, Conn, upon the
farm OF his ancestors, where now stands
one OF the Oldest houses in the country and
the only house in the United States that
has been In possession of the same family
since the settlement of New England, a
period of 267 years.
Windsor is a little village few miles
north of Hartford and although Its popu-
lat.on is limited 1t has been one of the most
important places IN the country. No other
community OF its size has ever been the
scene OF so many stirring events or the
residence of 30 many great men. The de-
scendants Of the early inhabitants of Wind
sor are as many as the sons OF Israel and
they are scattered in all parts of the earth
Two ponderous volumes are necessary to
contain the history OF this little town. and
even they do not tell 1t all.
The oldest house" was built in 1910 by
Joseph LOOMS. the first OF that name to
cross the Atlantic and II is still owned and
occupied by his descendants No other per
sons have ever lived there.

At Santa Fe is an old church and at St
Augustine are two or three old houses
which claim TO have been built IN the six
teenth century. fifty years before the Pill
srims Landed on the rock-bound coast OF
New England. but their claims are more OF
less doubtful; they have changed hands and
have been overhauled and rebuilt several
times. There are several houses in Virginia
around Jamestown and church or two
that were built in the early days of the
seventeenth century. But they also have
undergone many changes.

PRICES JEWELS WIN A GAME
Sunday Sunbeams Are Defeated at
Last in Snappy Contest.

Prices jewels have won a baseball
game. They won it yesterday at the
driving park diamond, when the score
stood Is to IS in their favor over the
Sunday Sunbeams, a miscellaneous
collection of the younger ball players
of Norfolk. Yesterdays game was
the best of the several Sunday con-
tests this spring in which the Jewels
and second team with shifting line
up have furnished an afternoon attrac-
ton at the driving park
Sunday in Norfolk was a delightful
spring day and part of the large crowd
which found pleasure in being out of
doors visited the driving park dia-

Yesterdays game was energetic and
snappy and held enough errors to lend
touch of humor to the situation. The
batteries were: Jewels, Rock and

will probably continue for some time.

FEDERAL COURT PRISONER
INDIAN is THE FIRST ONE EVER
BROUGHT TO NORFOLK.
HE ASSAULTED INDIAN AGENT

Harry Wabashaw, Half Breed Indian
Who Slugged the Agent at Santee
Reservation, Is the First Prisoner
Under New Law.
Norfolk received additional recogni-
ton as federal court center Satur-
day when n federal prisoner was
brought to the city to await trial at
the coming local term of the federal
court next September.
Harry Wabashaw, half breed In
dian and federal prisoner, was
brought to Norfolk Saturday by Dep
uty United States Marshal John f.
Sides of Dakota City. Wabashaw, who
must answer to the charge of assault
ing Major w. e. Meagley, agent of
the Santee Indian agency, last Satur-
day, was brought to Norfolk as a re-
suit of the act passed by the last SEES
sion Of congress designating Norfolk
as one of the federal court cities of
the new Nebraska district and provid.
ing that federal court cases arising
In this district should be heard in
Norfolk.
The deputy marshal with his Indian
prisoner arrived in Norfolk Saturday
morning. 1t was the original inten'
ton to have the Indian confined In
the Norfolk Jail but local Jail facilities
not being especially adequate the man
was taken on the II o'clock train tC
the county jail at Madison, there tc
await his summons to the session OF
the federal court in Norfolk next Sep
tember.
The charge of assaulting the gov
eminent official in charge of an In
dian agency is a serious one. 1t is
said that Wabashaw struck the Indian
agent when the latter was trying tc
quell a disturbance among drunken
Indians. The young half breed was
bound over by Commissioner George
A. McCutchen at Spencer to the mex
term of the federal court at Norfoll
under $1,000 bond

MAKE S24,7OO PAYMENT
CONTRACTOR HERRiCk TAKES
SOME CASH HOME.
FOR WORK ON THE NEW SEWER

After the Sewer is Paid For Norfolk
Will Still Have $4,000 in the City
Treasury-Sewer Will Cost the City
About $4,000.
Contractor o. P. Herrick of Des
Moines, who has had the contract for
laying Norfolk's new sewer, left the
city yesterday noon with $24,700 more
cash wealth than when he came to
the city Thursday. Yesterday the
city made it's first cash payment on
the sewer, which though still to be fl
nally accepted by the city is virtually
completed.
Under the provision of the contract,
Mr. Herrick was to receive in imme
date payment eighty per cent of the
contract price for work done, the re.
following the acceptance of the sewer
system. Bonds were deposited to Mr.,
Herrick's credit but with the final sale
of the bonds to a Toledo firm he re-
ceives his first installment of actual
cash.
The work of preparing the sewer
for final inspection has been carried
through during the past few days. II
special session of the council is not
called the acceptance of the sewer
system will come before the council
at the regular June meeting on June
Is.
City Treasurer Haase has received
from the sale of the sewer bonds TO
Splitter & Co. $4,000. This was So
800 less than the face value of the
bonds, discount being necessary on
account of the low interest rate car
ried. Contractor Herrick, who had
agreed to receive the bonds in pay
ment for his sewer agreed to stand
| for $4,000 of the discount on the sale
of the bonds. This sum will be de-
Quoted from the final payment made
him by the city.
With the sewer completed, Con.
tractor Herrick said to The News yes.
terday as he left Norfolk for Des
Moines, that the cost of the sewer
would reach towards $4,000. OF this
sum something less than $4,000 will
go to the contractor on account of the
deduction of the $4,000 contribution
made by him towards the sale of the
bonds. About $4,000 will remain in
the Norfolk treasury after the final
payment to Herrick.
