Postmaster.

At the last meeting of the
city council it was decided to
have a six foot cement walk
built from the east side of No
ble street to the east entrance
of the fair grounds park. This
is to built out of the carnavil
fund, of which there still re-
mains some $lS5. This will lie
a lasting improvement and
there can be no better use
made of this money. The side
walk will not cost the city a
cent as this money was made
last fall during the street fair
given by the G. w. Parker
Amusement company. The
city dads are entitled to COM
mendatlon for their good judg-
ment in this matter.
The party arrested by Mar
shall Butcher and taken from
train No. 76 on Saturday night,
has been released from custody
as no charge was filed against
him. The arrest was made in
response to a telegram sent
from the chief dispatcher OF
Iowa Division at Boone, who
had been informed by the con-
ductor of the train that a pas
senger had been robbed and
this party accused of doing the
deed. The conductor locked
the man in a toilet room until
Mo. Valley was reached. Mar
shall Butcher had a hard time
making the arrest and had to
use personal influence, and
asked the assistance of several
bystanders to get the man to
jail. Repeated requests to the
Northwestern officials regard
ing the filing of a charge bring
ing no response, the city officials
dropped the case and the sus-
pect released from custody.
