Sioux City. Aug. 2.-Qowa Evening
Press.)-Just a brief telegraph dis
patch told of the death of John Arens-
dorf, 81, here, but pages might be
written of the life of this man who
was tried three times for the murder
of Rev. George G. Haddock in 1886
one of the most sensational murders
in the sensational history of the liquor
business in Iowa. Haddock was an ear.
nest temperance minister and fought
the saloons energetically. Arensdort
was opposed to the closing of the sa-
looms and because Of his activity was
suspected OF the brutal murder of the
minister whose death aroused the
state. He was tried three times, the
last time four years after the murder.
When the trial was over he contin-
ued to live here and held the conf
dence of his friends, who always de-
clared he was not guilty.

Of Mr.. Wetherell, who then lived at Dies

AFTER STATES AID.
Councils Special Committee Visits Des
Moines in Interest of Dam.

The project that was started in the
city council months ago to build a
permanent concrete dam across the
Iowa river near the water works is tn
be pushed, and there is a possibility
that the dam will be built, perhaps
this wear. and if not, within at least a
few years.
In behalf of this project and for the
purpose of securing the aid OF the state
because of the interest the soldiers
home has in maintaining an adequate
water level, Councilmen w. S. Dev1ne
and A. NJ. Clark, members OF the spe-
cial committee, went to Des Moines TO-
day to confer with the state board OF
control on the subject.
The soldiers home is dependent upon
the Iowa river for it's ice supply, and
unless a high water level is maintained
suitable ice cannot be secured. Thls
water level can only be maintained by
means of a dam, and the city councll
feels that the state should stand al
least a part, perhaps as much as one
half. of the cost The cost has been es-
timated at about $4,000 or $4,000
which includes the necessary retaining
walls
An effort is being made thru Senator
G.. H. Van Law and Representative w
II. Arney to have a. special approprla-
ton allowed for the states part OF TINS

Motor Enthusiasts Form Social organi-
cation Monday Night.
AT meeting of automobile owners
and motor enthusiasts Monday night
an organization to be known as the
Marshalltown Automobile Club was
formed, with charter membership of
twenty-five The officers erected were
James L. Denmead, president; Charles
c. Eldridge, first vice president; A. j.
Clark, second vice president; Merritt
Greene, Jr., secretary, and H. K Den
mead, treasurer.
While the social features will pre-
dominate, the club will have other OBJ
jects. An effort will be made to Gre
ate better roads out Of MarshalltoWn,
and to get farmers who are interested
in motoring to join in a like organiza-
ton and work with the club for better
roads. The protection of club members
against what they consider unfair
prosecution in damage cases is another
feature the club will look after, as well
as assisting members of other clubs
