MORE CITY BONDS ARE SOLD
City Treasurer True Announces Sale
Of Twenty Thousand Block.
MONEY FOR FIRE PURPOSES
VIII Re Used 10 Pay Balance on
New Central Fire station and
Pay for an Aerial
Ladder.
MONEY FOR FIRE PURPOSE

City Treasurer True yesterday announced
the sale Of the $4,000 worth Of city bonds
authorized by the council to pay the bal
ance due on the new central fire station
and 70 settle the bill OF $500 for the new
aro.aI fire truck. The bonds were sold
to the Harris Trust and Savings bank Of
Chicago at a premium OF Sl7B and ac-
cumulated interest. The purchasers also
agreed to furnish the blank bonds to de-
fray the cost Of a legal opinion as to the
validity Of the bond issue. The bonds
draw ~ per cent and run ten years. City
Treasurer True regards the sale as q very
advantageous one and also as indicating
the high credit Of the city.
The necessity for issuing bonds in times
OF prosperity such as the city has enjoyed
for several years has been the cause OF
some comment. but City Treasurer True
declares that this small issue is not at all
discreditable.
"Of the hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
worth OF city bonds issued in the past and
which we are stin paying. the city has
now absolutely nothing TO show for the
expenditures represented by the issues, and
the new fire station and the truck will be
the only evidence In after years that the
taxpayers ever got anything for their
money, SAID Mr.. True. Il ne IRE blhuOh
and the big truck. since the wisdom of the
council decided II to be necessary, had to
be paid for, and bonds at low interest and
short time was the best method of raising
the money More than $4,000 Of the old
bond issue which we are now paying was
, for current expenses when the receipts fell
far short OF expenditures. We have GER
tainly nothing now to show for the ex-
! pendlture OF the money except our good
| credit The bonds issued for intersection
! paving belong to the same class. The inter-
sections are worn out and are being re-
| placed. Expenditures requiring bond Issues
H. the future must be Of such a nature
| that tangible and visible results are OBJ
| tanned"
! The bonds we're held by r. g. Lougee
| who took them from Contractor George
| F. Hughes after the completion OF 49,
building. The contractor required payment
at the rate OF $50 per month for period
Of twenty years, The Hughes bid wal
| about 5000 lower than that Of his neares
competitor and his cash offer for the worl
was tS,4OO less than the time price. Tit
city would thus have saved nearly one
third Of the cost II the bond issue haC
been made before the structure was bull
and the caHh offer accepted.

Police Have Kinney
and His Costly Horse
Man from Walthill, Neb., Likely tt
Have Trouble Explaining His
Ownership.

j. A. Kinney Of walthill, Neb., lie being
held at the police station for investigation
which the police have reason TO believe will
connect him with the theft OF a valuable
horse from Edward Driver, a farmer re-
siding in Boomer township. The horse was
stolen Monday night and on Tuesday an
animal answering the description was
offered by Kinney to former Alderman
G. v. Crippen at a very low price. Grip
pen and d. c. Mason, an employee, yester-
day identified Kinney as the man who
offered the horse Kinney refuses to talk
and the missing horse has not been
located.
Kinney was really taken into custody on
an old charge OF horse stealing. Five
years ago he hired a horse and carriage
from william Neuflnd. town marshal at
Missouri Valley, drove II to Omaha and
sold the whole outfit to Peter Gravert. who
now runs a salon at 2st2 Cunning street,
Omaha, and who then resided in Benson
and had a livery stable. GTavert paid $50
for the rig but was soon obliged to turn 10
over to the owner. He had been anxious
20 get Kinney ever since and has had the
Omaha and Council Bluffs detectives on
the lookout for him. Marshal Neufind has
since died. and there is nobody to prose-
cute the theft charge. Prosecution Is, how
ever. barred b. the statute Of limitation.
Kinney has a long prison record. A num-
Der OF years ago he stole q bunch Of cattle
from a farm near Crescent and was sent to
Fort Madison prison. After his release he
stole a team OF horses in Nebraska and
served two years In the lincoln prison.
The police say they have = strong case
against him again. A reward Of S1o0 has
been offered for thu return Of the horse
stolen Monday night.

Date Selected For Annual Field
and Track Contests.

Invitations haye been issued for the
Eeighth annual fnterscholastic field and
trackmeet to be reid by Jacob Tome
Institute, Port Deposit, on Saturday,

in this section of the country as import
ant to the schoolboy OF the Middle

OF Pennsylvania relays are to the college.
New schools compete every year, conl-
ing last season from as far north as Prov
idence. R. L.. and every season the
management introduces something new.
There will be senior events, junior events,
novice events and rural high school
events. This will be the third year for
the Maryland rural high school events,
and this feature of the meet is making
itself strongly felt among country schools
Already acceptances have beenreceived
from schools that have not heretofore
participated in this series, schools coming
from as far as Hagerstowu and Emmitts
burg. The Washington County Male
High School at Hagerstown will send
down a big team The Cecil County
High School which won first honors last
season, and the Franklin High School at
Reistertown, which was successful in
landing top honors the first year, will
also send teams to the meet.
This year there has been another event
added to the rural high school series.
namely, the 44o-yard dash, so that this
year boys from the country high schools
will meet each other in the rs yard dash.

run and running board jump. Last May

ranged training schedule devised by Mr..
Hammett. physical director. and except
ing for thepersonal oversight of trainer,
the boys in the country schools train
practically along the same lines as the
Tome track team Since Tome set the

have become tremendously popular, SOY
much SO that this season Tome will add
the 44oyard run to the series. giving

The capacity Of the management will
be taxed TO the utmost this year to
accommodate all of the athletes who are
coming Beforemapy years some scheme
will have to be devised 10 cut down the
number of competitors or perhaps to
extend the meet over two days. .
