Clear Lake, July 6.-The ministers
and church people of this city are at
last ready to start movement against
the Sunday evening band concerts at
the Lake Shore park, which have for
two years interfered with the Sunday
evening services of the churches. The
town is about evenly divided into two
factions. One wants the Sunday eve

other does not The battle promises
to be sharp affair. The whole trou-
BILE came to head Sunday evening.
and since that time the town has been
agog over the matter
The ministers state that the Sun
day church services in Clear Lake
between the hours Of $3.50 and . have
been an established custom for over
forty years. The Sunday evening band
concert was new two years ago. The
band concert proved an injury to the
church work Certain citizens urged
the churches to unite with the band

park. and such was done The ar

the close Of last season.
This year happy adjustment for
a cooperative service was again made
and all preparations were made for
the carrying out OF the meetings in the
park Last Saturday afternoon. the
day before the first meeting scheduled,
the churches were notified that the
arrangement was called Off A hast
lily called meeting OF the Commercial
club sought to quell the trouble they
saw In the results OF this last move
and the churches were offered the
hours either before or after O'Clock.
They chose the later hour and held a
meeting in the park.
Now many citizens say that the
churches forced themselves into the
park, displacing the band. but such Is
not the case. the churches going to
the park on request and sacrificing
their interests in a large measure to
preserve tolerable peace. The
churches did not wish to hold serv-
ices in the park and do rot care for
the band to play the scores of their
music The ministers claim that they
have a legal right to conduct their
Sunday evening services anmolested,
and uninjured by the noise of band
or any other disturbing agent, ana
they assert that they will insist upon
this right. The town is greatly ex-
cited over the controversy and Its

One shipper alone was struck for
$4,000 and many others have been hit
for amounts ranging from $500 to
$4,000, mostly the latter figure. The
Rock Island railroad has a bill for
$4,000 freight, the Des Moines Union
bill for $1,000 and the employees of
Hough for their salary for the past
week. None will receive but small
portion of their claims.
The cause of Hough's failure to a
certain extent came to light in the
items Of his personal assets which he
lists In his bankruptcy papers filed
today. He spent $4,000 for automobiles.
$40 for two bull dogs, SIS for two fox
terriers, $500 for a piano and SIS for a
