Strangers Come in Haste

About the same time Gerry came
down the mountain in his automobile
and was last seen headed toward
Goshen. In about an hour he returned
with three men in the car. The ma

road to the Hartman residence and the
identity of Gerry's passengers could not
be learned. These three strangers, be-
sides the two who arrived earlier in
the day, make five who were brought
to the Hartman house with every evil

During the Ventura hearing McE1-
vaine, who is from the fourth district,
also showed evidences of an opinion
contrary to those of his associates.
This was apparent when Brown was
exchanging good humored banter with
j. A Donlon, the former Ventura as
SCISSOR.
Yes. said Brown "Donlon used to
get me In buggy and steer me out into
the alkah lands and tell me how low
the county should be assessed"
You must remember interposed
McElvaine, turning to Donlon, that
these members are not farmers. They
are politicians"

Retinue Noncommittal

Ford deprecated the significance of
the tanks supposed to contain oxygen.
There was an ice plant on the place,
he explained, and there was a possi-
bility that the contents of the tanks
were carbonic acid gas, used in the
manufacture of ice. The cot, he said,
might have been taken to camp near
the house where some workmen are
living.
The impression grows that an opera
tion of some character is to be per-
formed on Hartman, but details are
well nigh impossible to obtain.
One camp of reporters has been
established here at Arden, another at
Turner, the railroad station, and an
other at the base of the incline rail-
way. No one enters or leaves the
estate without being subjected to in
Quiry.

No word came from the house and no
one descended either to Turner or Ar
den. If the two men who ascended to
the house were physicians, none but

tell who he was.

 TAKES UP PROJECT.
At Weekly Meeting the Repairing of Roads Damages by storm, Was
 the Cheef Object of Discuss

Repairing of roads was the princi- pal feature yesterday of the Montgom- cry County Board of Revenue, the Mobile road having been damaged con- siderably by the recent neavy rams. The Norman Bridge road and the plank road were also damaged and repair work was ordered for these.
 The long contemplated laundry for the county jail seems now about to become fact. for J. H. Cook was ap- pointed to go to Chicago and see about machinery and other matters, partain- ing to the installation of the plant The plant when installed will cost in the neighborhood of s2.00O. However no purchase will be made until the $150,000 county bond election Is over.
 The board Is discussing the improve ments of the offices occupied by tne Solicitor and the board. also the pur- chase of a safe. to cost not more than $500 Is under advisement. Several small claims for damages suffered by peo- pie in the county in personal hurts and to their stock were ordered settled. Teague & Sons. of Montgomery were awarded the contract for supplying the county with hardware. and steps were taken toward laying sewer pipe at Sprague Junction. Several recent claims against the county were referr- ed to the attorney to be passed on. The matter of "scorching" by motorists on the county roads was referred to Sheriff Hood.
 The board has not quite settled what will be done about the dam at Elec- tric Park.
