Woman Killed by Robbers.

Two shoeiess men, ore of whom is
wounded in the arm and thigh by bull
lets, are held by the New York po-
lice, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Sophia Staber, wife of George
Staber, New York importer of paper,
in whose residence, at Flatbush, L.
l., there occurred a battle with burg
lars, in which Mrs. Staber met death.
The men admitted that they were i'm
plicated in the burglary, but at first
denied any part in the murder. They
say they are Carlo Giro, born in
Trieste, Austria, and John Smith"
The latter was the one wounded. He
was operated upon and was told that
he might not live and urged to tell
the whole truth. He admitted, the po-
lice say, that it was a bullet from his
pistol. discharged in a struggle with
Mrs. Staber's son, George that killed
her
Mr.. Staber was the first to be
awakened by the burglars by the flash
of an electric pocket lamp carried by
one of the men.
who are you?" he demanded.
Keep quiet and we won't hurt you, -
came the answer I'VE want your
money"
The dialogue wakened Mrs. Staber
who became uncontrollably frightened
She began to Shrek at the top of her
voice. The burglar withdrew to the
hall. but the mothers cries had arous-
ed her son George, twenty years old
AS he stepped from his door. a man
struck at him in the darkness, missed
and stumbled downstairs. At the same
instant he saw the second burglar
grappled h him, and fought him
into the bathroom. In the struggle the
burglar managed with his free hand
to draw a seven-shOt automatic pistol
Then began an even fercer fight for
the pistol.
in the meantime Mrs. Staber was
standing in the doorway, screaming
not needing her husbands attempts tc
pull her in the room. Young StabeI
succeeded in keeping the muzzle oil
the burglars gun away from him, but
it was, nevertheless, discharged. Two
shots went wild, the third cut the
drawstring of his pajamas, set the
cloth or fire and. though not woundine
him, killed his mother. Just as young
Staber finally got control of the pisto
the burglar wrenched loose. Stabal
chased him down the stairs, firing as
he ran. Two shots evidently tool

fired, and the burglars temporarily es
capped.

A SEWAGE SYSTEM.
FOR DEBORAH CONTEMPLATED
By THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
City Council Sitting as Board Of
Health Consults With Engineer
OF State Board With Respect
to Proposed Sewage Sys-
tenn for DecOrah.

For some time it has been mat
ter of common knowledge to many
II not most of the residents of the
city of Decorah that a complete sew
age system for the city is soon to
be an absolute necessity. 1t should
have teen constructed years ago, but
was put off for what appeared to be
good reasons, and the city's sewage
has been disposed of through private
sewers, cess pools, etc.
Realizing the urgency of immediate
action, the city council sitting as the
board of health sent to Des Moines
for Mr. Lafayette Higgins, civil engi-
peer Of the state BOARD of health,
who arrived here Friday and careful
ly went over the plat for the propos-
ed sewerage system, drawn by NJ
Tschirgi of Dubuque in 1900, made
trips about the city, took measure
ments, etc.
Saturday morning the council met
as a board of health, and Mr.. Hig-
gins reported to them that the plans
of Mr. Tschirgi called for 1915 miles
of sewage, exclusive of the Fifth
ward. This would cost in the neigh
porhood of s1.OO per foot, or COM
plete plant for the entire city, in
Guiding septic tank, etc., would prob
ably cost about $4,000.
Mr.. Higgins recommended as a
good location for the septic tank, a
plat of ground near the ice cave mill,
owned by the Milwaukee railroad,
which it is saia can easily be secured.
He departed Saturday morning for
Des Moines, taking the profiles,
etc., with him, and will make more
complete report later.
There is no doubt Of the urgent
need of a good sewerage system fol
Decorah. The present method OF
disposing of sewage through private
sewers, cess pools, etc., is very un-
sanitary and in fact dangerous to the
public health. This has been realiz-
ed for some time, and the council
now feel that it is absolutely neces-
sary to install a complete modern
system.
We understand that the council
(board of healthy may either submit
the proposition to vote of the peo-
PIE or may order the system arbitra-
rily, and tax the same to the abut-
ting property. Just how the mat
ter will be determined has not yet
been settled upon, but the members
of the council seem to be satisfied
that something must be done al
once, and it is likely that action will
soon be taken.

TEST IOWA FISHING LAWS.
Seiners Along Mississippi Refuse to
Pay License; Game Warden
Lincoln on Trail.

What promises to be a very lively
fight over recent law passed by the
Iowa legislature will soon be inaug-
urated by the fishermen on the Miss
issippi river and all along the Iowa
borders. In this fight the anglers
will be backed up by the big fish con-
Germs along the river The trouble
has arisen over the new license law
governing the men engaged in sein-
ing fish along the borders of the
state who must pay a license for each
seine or net in use. The professional
fishermen object to this feature of
the statute, holding that it works a
hardship. Hundreds of men are en-
ployed during the summer months in
seining the waters of the Mississippi
river, and the fish are sold to firms
who ship them to the interior. The
business has grown to be an enorm-
Gus one.
The fishermen have paid little or no
attention to the new law so far, and
it is stated that the state fish and
game warden will make numerous
arrests hereabouts. The fishermen
have determined to submit to arrest
and then fight the cases, in an at
tempt to have the law declared un-
constitutional. In this action the
fishermen are said to be backed up
oy the big fish firms who will furnish
the money to defend the cases. State
Fish and Game Warden Lincoln of
Cedar Rapids is taking the prelimin-
ary steps in the matter and the con-
fiict will come to a head in a short
time it is said
The object of the license law is to
protect the game fish in the sloughs
along the river from indiscriminate
seining, and to also keep seiners from
Illinois from coming over onto the
Iowa side and taking fish.
