Fifty-Five Acres.

Commissioner Fecht proposed the
idea some six weeks ago and the board
Of park commissioners Immediately
got busy to secure the land Their
first donation from Mr.. Leighton con
sisted of twentysix acres several
weeks ago. This was not considered
large enough for the kind of park
desired by the board and more meet
ings were held between Mr.. Leighton
and the park board, covering in all
about six weeks. Yesterday afternoon
Commissioners Fecht and French with
Mr.. Leighton drove out to the tract
and rough survey of the ground was
taken by the three. Then it was that
the generosity of the doner really as
serted itself, for when going over the
ground together Mr.. Leighton told
the commissioners that he had decid-
ed to increase the gift by the addition
of another strip Of land and roadway
eighty feet wide to connect the park
to the road which is continuation
of Finley avenue from the city limits.
The rough estimate by the commits
sioners places the area of the park
land at f1fty-five acres.
Extend Car Line.
The only stipulation Of any moment
asked by Mr. Leighton was that the
street cars be run from the end of the
Ward street car line to the park This
was settled satisfactory by Mr.. Fecht
of the park commission, when r. G..
Hunt, representative of Byllesby &
Co. Of Chicago, the owners of the local
car line, was here attending the Com

Plenty Of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a

A PrinceIy Gift.

Leighton park is the title that is
most appropriate and so it will I'M
doubtedly be called, as the princeiy
gift will be ever remembered
by Ottumwa as lasting act
of the generosity of A. G..
Leighton in giving to his home city
one of the grandest park sites in the
state. The park commissioners feel a
deep sense of gratitude to Mr.. Leigh
ton for his magnificent gift and will do
their utmost to make the park the
most sought for place about the city.
No effort will be spared by the COM
missioners to make the site perfect
bower Of rustic beauty. Much of this
is already there anG but for the park
comforts little needs to be done.

100 feet wide and one-fourth mile
long. Material for the construction of
the dam and all necessary improve

The next meeting of the Somerset
Pomona will be held Tuesday with
Bingham Grange, No. 237. 1t will be
an all-day session. No melting was
held last month owing to the condi-
tion of the roads. For the annual meet
ing to be held here next January a
novel contest has been arranged by r.
T. Patten, lecturer of Skowhegan
Grange. Three beds will be placed in
the hall and the bedding piled on the
floor. The contestants will then pro-
ceed to make the beds. The judges will
remain in an anteroom while this is
being done and will therefore have no
knowledge of who did the work. The
per cent of perfection will be 100. Five
minutes will be the time limit Every
10 seconds required over that time will
substract 10 points from the score. 1t
is expected that the contest will not
only be instructive, but highly anus
ing when the contestants get to that
point Of placing the slips on the pill
lows while holding the latter in their
teeth. Suitable prizes will be given
the winners.

IN TROUBLE BEFORE.
Miss Bau Shot Two Men In New
Hampshire, Two Years Ago.

Woodsville, n. H.. May 5.-Two
years ago Christiana Bau created a
sensation in this town by shooting two
young men early one summer evening
and then attempting to shoot an Off
cor who arrested her. The young wo-
mln came into town early in the even
ing from Wells River VT, across the
Connecticut river, having during the
day travelled from Montpelier by way
of st. Johnsbury. So far as known she
had no relatives or close friends in the
town and was passing the evening on
the street.
Passing the Young Mems Christian
Association building, she took offence
at remark made by group of men
standing on the sidewalk and coming
back opened fire with revolver at
the group.
Her shots took effect and two young
men were wounded. A young man
named Gonyer, a High school pupil at
the time, was shot in the leg and
brakeman on the Montpelier and Wells
River Railroad was also wounded. An
officer on the street started to arrest
the woman and she turned the revol-
yer upon him, but was disarmed before
she could fire.
The woman was arraigned and after
hearing it was found that she was
not mentally responsible. AS her home
was in Vermont it was declared the
Vermont authorities would have to
take charge of her and she was sent
to the asylum at Waterbury. The wo-
man was of a most attractive appear
ance and seemed rational in most
ways.
