QUICK SERVICE.
Sheriff Ed Valentine Establishes q
New Record.

Sheriff Ed Valentine has established
new record for quick service by the
arrest and incarceration in the Ma.

white, and T. F. Hayden, colored, OF
Green Ridge, indicted for nuisance.
The indictments against these two
men were issued by the grand jury
Thursday evening and the papers were
put in Sheriff Valentines hands Fri.

Ridge is about fifteen mile from Os'
kaloosa but the Sheriff drove overland
and arrested the men and had them
in Jail by four o'clock, only a few
hours after the papers were given
him. The two men could not furnish
bonds so stood committed 20 jail.
They were arrested for running a

FOUGHT TO A FINISH
Two Italians Pummel Each Other
Until Exhausted.

The mining town of Bolton was the
scene of a regular knock out battle
Saturday night. according to reports
that reached the oskaloosa officers.
Frank Miller and Mace Lucas, both
under the influence of liquor, had a
personal encounter and there was a
reign of terror in the camp until Con-
stable Geo. Andrews arrived on the
scene about midnight and arrested
two of the participants, brought them
to the city and placed them in jail.
What the trouble started over the
two men will not say. They got into
a fistic battle, both trying to do the
other fellow up, but they bolh stuck
with bull dog tenacity and neither
one would give away to the other.
The men are said to have fought an
hour,a and half and as the result both
men were badly beaten up both suffer.

broken rib, etc.
They were arraigned before Justice
DdSOu tlllo HIOl ulh6 uDOh thC ShoI 30
of participating in an ARRAY. They
both pleaded not guilty and were sent
back to Jail for repairs. The prelim'
mary hearing has not been set. Dr.
Windle was called in and is making
several trips a day to the Jail to take
care of his patients. The men when
arrested were covered with blood from
head to foot
The men are Italians and have been
close friends. They have been living
in the same SHACK" patching. The
trouble originated at a dance at the
Bolton hall and the fight starting in
the hall was taken up again outside
Several other parties are said to be
implicated and more arrests will fol

the other fellow and the officers had
difficulty this morning when they
were arraigned in keeping them from
blows again. When SConstable An
drews went to the shack at Bolton to
make the arrest, one of the fellows
exhausted by the fight and liquor, had
fallen asleep and the other fellow was
sitting in his blood stained garments,
calmly smoking a pipe. The constable
says the fellows were the goriest
specimens of humanity he Las hand
led in months.

MOVABLE AFTERNOON
P. E. o. Chapter x Met With Mrs
Carroll Sawyer.

The P. E. O.'s met at the John F.
Lacey home Saturday afternoon with
Mrs. Carroll Sawyer. The announce
ment Of the removal of Mrs. s. W..
Wilson to Des MONIES was received
with sincere regret. Mrs. Wilson was
among the first to be initiated in
Chapter X and has been not only
an active member ever since, but has
done her part and has done it well.
AS slight token of their apprecia-
ton the Chapter sends her a p. e. o..
spoon.
The lesson for the afternoon was on
Russia, and Mrs. J. H. Pickett, who
made a most excellent chairman, open
ed the program with a quotation from
lZonkoosky:
God save the Gear!
The Glorious! Long life
Grant him on earth.
To the subduer of the proud
To the defender of the weak,
To the comforter of all
Send down every blessing"
Miss Millar then played the Nation
al Hymn of Russia. This was followed
by two papers filled with interesting
information along their separate lines.
History of Education" by Miss nellie
'Wray; Palaces of the Gar" by Miss
Lillian Kilburn. The latter paper was
supplemented by a talk upon the home
life of the Car, which together with
the responses to roll call giving facts
concerning Russia formed one of the
very best programs.
The piano solo, ''Kammenoi Ofprow"
by Miss Millar was beautifully render
ed. There was an unusually large at.
tendance and all felt amply repaid, en-
Joying the work as well as the play
which the program committee have
planned for the year.

Big Crowd Attended the Saturday
Evening Concert.

The Iowa Brigade band played an
exceptionally fine concert in the park
Saturday evening. The possibility
that the program might be the last OF
the season brought out a larger audi
ence than usual and the vicinity of the
stand was crowded with an interested
and attentive audience. Many Of the
pieces were loudly applauded, notably
so the cornet solo played by Bandmas-
ter Farmhouse who rendered an excep'
tionally clever composition with fault
less technique and expression.
