Fort Dodge, Dec. 12.-With eight
gypsum mills located adjacent to this
city, there is every evidence to believe
that another will be erected within a
very shor time, the Fort Dodge Gyp-
surn Company planning such a move to
supply their trade.
Fol the past five or six years this
company has maintained an office in
this city for the purpose of buying
from the United States Gypsum Com.
pally, and for the purpose Of supply
ing a number of lumber companies In
terested in the organization. Fowler
& Pray, of Mankato, Mimi, are the
leading spirits Of the association, and
it is the senior member of this firm
carrying On negotiations. He has
personally inspected the land owned
by the company for the purpose Of To-
eating a new mill, and left yesterday
for Des Moines, for the iavoWed pur-
pose of placing an order for the ma
chinery needed for the plant.
The company owns fifty-two acres
of land lying along the line of the
Illinois Central just west of gypsum
station, oil of which is underlaid with
the gypsum rock. The land was bought
for the purpose of erecting a mill, but
later a very advantageous contract
was made with The United States
Gypsum Company. However, this
contract expired last July, and owing
to the refusal of the sellers to renew
the same, the new mill will be erected.
It is claimed the lumber yards rep
resented by the Fort Dodge Gypsum
Company in Minnesota and North
Dakota, handle about two-thirds of the
product Of a three-kettle mill.

front of William A. Welty Co. store on
West Fourth street was Smashed to
pieces some time during Monday night
and goods consisting of typewriter
supplies to the amount of SIS or $40
taken. The parties who committed
the robbery must have had c%onsidera-
BILE nerve, for the large glass Ease was
broken to pieces and with the contents
strewn about the sidewalk. The fall
ing glass upon the pavement must
have made a loud report, but owing to
the inclemency of the weather there
were not many on the street, and the
thief must have taken his time in
gathering up his loot from among the
broken glass.
