Elizabeth Lowe has filed claim
with the city council asking for $1,000
damages sustained in fall alleged to
have occurred ON Monday, July 5, near
the Tenth street bridge. The claim
recites that on the 9Th day of July,
1909 at about the hour Of o'clock p.
m. was injured by falling on a defect
i've sidewalk and said injury was
caused by the negligence Of city in
permitting said sidewalk to get out of
repair and not putting same in repair
after being notified Of its defective
condition. The place OF accident is
between Tenth and Eleventh, at a
point between B and C streets ex-
tended where the city maintains a
sidewalk along the railroad track OF
the North road. The defect In said
sidewalk was the city's permitting the
cross pieces to become rotten so that
they would not hold the rails.
The injury consists of a broken arm
which has caused great bodily pain
and mental anguish and has perman
emily injured your petitioner. who has
to rely upon her daily labor for living
and has had to pay out money for
doctor bills, etc. and has been damag
ed thereby In the sum OF $4,000. fol
which sum she makes claim against

-Ottumwa Courier: A foot more

in the river today With a slight or
gradual advance apparent all the time.
The rise Is slow but since Saturday
has been continual with the prospect
of higher water before the stream re-
cedes. Rain of Saturday and today
has had its effect on the stream
which was about stationary until Sat
urday afternoon, when rise OF half a

inches more were registered But one
inch rose during the night and Sun
day morning 13 feet, / inch was r.
corded. Two inches rose during yes
terday and this morning the stage
showed 1904 at O'Clock with the
stream about stationary. Merchants
on South Market street say that SIX
inch rise will put water = their Gel
lars. The frequent rains and contin
ued high stage of the water leaves
/ the people in the affected districts in
a quandary as to what to do. Thus
far aside from the baseball park be
ing out of commission and seyera
places along the lowlands being un
der water, no great damage is report
ed here.

a GREAT BALL PLAYER
Has Been Working With Success il
Big Leagues Of the Country
for Twenty.sIx
Years.

Jimmie Mcguire, for twenty.six
years identified with the big leagues
of the country n active work on the
bali field and at the present time scout
for the Cleveland club OF the Ameri.
can league. arrived In Keokuk yestsr-
day and viii remain during the week
watching the Indians at work. 1t Is
McQuire's intention OF remaining dur
ing the Quincy Keokuk series and dur
ing the opening Of the Burlington
Keokuk series and in this way viii be;
able to get line on prospective men
from the three clubs il there are any.
Mcguire only recently retired from
behind the bat after long career on
the diamond with great success. He
has played with many Of the leading
teams Of the country and was last en-
gagged with Boston. He is ar intipate
friend of Jerry Harrington. the one
time famous catcher for Cincinnati
and the first rerson In this city whom
he looked up was Keolsuk's deputy
marshal. Together they intended to 90
to the baseball game this afternoon.
The scouts usually work In silence,
but Mcguire IL well known by several
fans In Keokuk and would have been
recognized had he not revealed his
| identity Of his own accord.
Keokuk has wonderful brace of
pitchers and this Is pie for the Cleve-
land scout. Himself, for years the
leading catcher of the country. he has
gained such knowledge OF the In
sights to a pitchers that he rarely
makes miscue in picking up a young
ster for development. Along these
lines also he has done good work.
He will watch closely the work OF
Burch, Prough, Blue Jacket and Brame
BILE. giving special attention to their
work and also the work Of the Quincy
and Burlington men. Quincy has not
major league caliber at thu present
time, but Boyd Of Burlington may be
we'll looking over.
Should Reichle be In form during
the series that Mcguire is in the city
favorable results may follow The big
i fellow is going against and counting
the ball and should make good show
ing before the big Lacquer. Corridor
a is going extremely well at the present
time and may make hit with the
veteran
4 Hildebrand IN right field will be vel
looked after and Millerr on first vii
1 receive some attention. Miller's
i speed on bases may attract the eye o
the old scout. Oyler is worthy o
watching, but he is quite an old time
that Is he has been around a goot
deal, and has found that the only thing
J, against him is his arm. Annis is al
old timer with good head. but ii
doomed to stay in this class.
