LAMAR IN 1907


While the closing weeks of the
year 1907 in Lamar have been af-
fected somewhat by the general fin
sncial stringeney the same as all
other sections Of the country, yet the
year as . whole hiss probably seen
the greatest improvement of any in
the history Of the town. 1t has been
repetition Of 1887 only on q really
substantial scale instead Of the mush-
room growth and building Of that
year.
One dozen fine two story business
houses have been added to the city's
Main street improvements, fine
$4,000 depot and many other rail-
road improvements, a $40, 900 church,
s12,OOO public library, $4,000
county jail, work begun on a $4,000
city hall, and several hundred resi-
denoes, some of which are among the
best ever CONSTRUCTED in the city. Two
Of the Main street blocks, the new
temple and the Cooper block, each
represent an expenditure of 100000
and are equal to any business blocks
in any Of the valley towns.
This work has wiped out many of
the remaining landmarks of the old
'67 Lamar, and it is hard foi former
citizens who have been away only two
or three years to recognize the old
town in the Lamar of today with hsr
handsome stores and business honses,
beautiful residences, splendid puolic
buildings aud many miles Of fine &C.
msnt sidewalks lined with shade
trees and we'll kept lawns.
With the sewer system under con-
struction and the steps being taken
TO secure fine supply Of watet La
mar will take the front rank " the
valley cities, her natural place, and
will always easily maintain that pos
ition. Her natural advantages are
far superior to those of iny other
town in this section and she has the
public spirit to win out.

The coroner's inquest over the
dead bodies of the aged Msxysll
couple was concluded last Saturday
afternoon, and before 8 O'Clock that
night the jury had rendered q YER
dict that the old folks came to their
death by being strangled; that they
were feloniously strsngled by some
person or persons unknown to the
Jury. In view Of the clear and con-
vinoing testimony of Doctors Hssty
and Seabury, the jury could not do
otherwise than find that the couple
were fsloniously assaulted and killed.
Although Ed Maxwell th ? adopted
son Of the couple was not formally
charged with the crime, and altho'
no evidence whatever connected him
with said crime, the boy at his own
request took the witness stand and
denied all knowledge of the crime.
For Sunday night, when the crime
WAS in all probability committed, he
proved . complete and convincing
alibi. For Monday night, he says
he was alone at Erickson's place, IA
miles northwest of Lamar. An ex-
perisnced horseman, familiar with
the CLAY Greek country, might have
ridden from Errckson's, with a good
horse, and done the deed and retur rn-
cd bsfors daylight. But this boy
had been working away from home
He did not know the CLAY Greek
country and he did not have q good
riding horse at his disposal. It is
physically impossible that he could
have committed the crime.
We are reliably informed thai
since the inquest the District Attor
news office has caused q most search
ing and rigid investigation into tbe
history, habits and character of thi'
boy and have absolutely eliminatec
him from consideration as fsctol
in the murder. It is no longer re
