ton has been granted a permit for a
business building and meeting place at
1929 Third street in the latter city.
1t will be of brick and concrete and

Co. The builders and architects are
C. c. Cross & Son.
At Ocean Park there are several
costly residences in course of con-
struction. One on Park avenue and an
other on Thornton avenue are being
built for Isam Mitchell. Mrs. Flora

ing on Clubhouse avenue. The most
expensive of all. also on Clubhouse

fewer than forty-four houses in course
of construction or contracted for on

permit getting after the feet excite
ment. but good business is in sight for
the coming week.

RANGE RIDERS ARE
READY FOR SEASON
Fire Breaks in Mountains Have Been
Constructed and Work of Guard
ing Forests vii Commence
This Week

Range riders and forest patrolmen
will resume their duties in the noun
tains this week.
The rangers have completed the
work of constructing the f1rebreaks
which they have been working on dur
ing the winter months. or rather which
they have been overseeing for the
greater portion of the work has been
done by contract, the rangers under
the head of Allen Keller having charge
of the work.
In all about twenty-five miles of
firebreaks and trails have been made
during the past season, all but five of
which lie between City Creek canyon
and the Cajon. The remaining portion
was in Mill Creek canyon. The last
break to be finished Is the one over
Mt. Mckinley at the mouth of City
creek, broad trail having been cut
through the brush from the mouth of
the canyon to the summit and down
on the other side.
The rangers are now getting things
in readiness for their summers work
in the tops of the mountains. Supplies
are being purchased and transported
to the cabins they will occupy while
the tools are being put into good con-
dition and added to wherever needed.
While the actual labor during the
summer months Is not so hard as dur
ing the bush cutting campaign 1t is
more strenuous in one way, for the
rangers are on a strain all of the time
in regard to forest fires. and when one
does start 1t is work night and day
nutil it is extinguished Then, too,
there are campers and hunters to be
looked out for and warned against the
infringements of the reserve laws, so
that altogether 1t is anything but
season of rest.

Spencer. Jan. GA former Spencer
girl has fallen into very unfortunate
circumstances. Word was recently re-
ceived by telegraph from Fort Worth,
Tex, of a tragedy in which Mrs. Fred
icl1 Reed. formerly Miss Irene Schun-
neman, of this city, was shot. She is
reported to be in a critical condition.
The bullet entered the right breast
and lodged in the back She was inn
mediately taken to hospital.
Her husband is now lodged in Jail.
being accused of committing the deed
With intent to kill. Reed spent much
of his time last fall in this city and
surrounding territory, where he also
met and courted Miss Schunneman,
then the youngest daughter of well
known family of this place. with con-
siderable means. The courtship term
mated in marriage, which took place
at Baskerville six weeks ago. After
this event the young couple left and
ally until news of the tragedy came.
While in this locality Reed repre-
sented himself as being a travelling
collector. and did some work in that
capacity for prominent firms turnout
this part of the state, with headQuar-
tiers here which also aided his court
ship with the girl But since the aw-
full news arrived the circumstances
surrounding some of the different rob-
berries committed in this locality last
fall are recalled, and his name has
been frequently mentioned as a pos
sible accomplice. 1t has been learned
that he had been doing collecting for
Gust Larson of this city, the day be-
fore the latter's safe was rified and
500 stolen, and that Reed had full
on the night of the robbery. He was
also in the locality when the Fostoria
postoffice was robbed. He is said to
have remarked to some one that he
was liable to be arrested in connec-
ton with some of these affairs, since
something always seemed to happen
when he was around.
The shooting affair is said to have
resulted from an attempt at black
mailing his wife's parents. and upon
being discovered by his wife. He Is
said to have written Mr.. Schunneman
informing him that Mrs Reed was at
the hospital and very low. and was
obliged to keep a nurse at her bedside
at all times. and that he needed finan-
cial aid. When it was discovered that
his wife was not ailing in the least,
and when he failed in his attempt, it
is alleged that he tried ito do away
with her.

With Foul Play.


Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 27.-Nels Hanson,
who mysteriously disappeared on jan
uary 4, is still missing, and his friends
have put the matter in the hands OF
the Danish society for investigation.
Many fear he has met with foul play,
for he owed no bills, had clear record
in Waterloo and seemed perfectly sat
isfed with his work. Because of his
exceptionally good habits and econom-
ic methods he succeeded in saving con-
siderable money, and his employers
are of the belief that he was dealt
foully with and relieved of his saw
ings.
| The last seen of him was when he
drew his wages at the United Iowa
Shoe Repairing company and left the
shop. He gave no intimation of sew
ering his connection with the firm, but
did not return to his duties. From then
on a search has been made with abb
solutely no results. The proprietor of
the American house, where Hanson
stayed, said the young man said moth
/ ing about leaving the city and the fact
that he left his work bench and about
$40 worth of tools which he brought
from the old country substantiates
the belief of his friends.
Hanson is a native Of Denmark,
where he learned his trade and then
| came to this county He proved him
self to be an exceptionally good me-
chanic and was giving his employers
thorough satisfaction. He did not
drink or use tobacco and was always
steady. His description is given as
being about S feet s, light Completed
and slender, about % years of age.
