ment Herman had refused to sign
the report.
AS q member OF The committee Her
man said that he did not approve of
using money appropriated to build a
new fire station in the manufacturing
district to buy automobiles with. Not

he city must improve the present

such city and taken to the outlying
farms and villages.

OLDEST MAN OF "cHl" HERE.

oIOGot mfAN VI VII 7GnCs
The oldest living man of Chicago
was here for forty minutes last Mon
day afternoon, stopping off in this
city between trains. Alvin Austin is
the name of the man who bears this
proud distinction, he being enroute
from Towner, N. D., where he visited
relatives to his home at Chicago. Mr..
Austin is So years old and is hale and
hearty. While there are many men
older than him who are still living
still they are not in the city of Chi
cago, and according to his idea there
are few men of the city who ever live
to be that old, due to the surround
ings,. while the country abounds with
men of long Hyity. Mr.. Austin attri'
butes his lengthy stay on this globe
to the non-use Of tobacco and liquor.
There are three women living in Chi.
cago older than Mr.. Austin, which
might tend to prove that the women
OF the city are longer lived than the
men,. In his travels he was accompan.
led by his daughter, Miss r. Josephine
Austin. i: - a%f.

After years Of prospecting in and

obtained what promises to be an in.
exhaustible supply of good water near

southeast of that place. The we'll is
now being walled up.
Reports are that the we'll has given
up water suitable for use in engines
at the rate of 100 gallons a minute.
Whether the 500 will install a water
tank at the well or pipe the water to
Darlington with view to moving the
division point there within short
time, cannot be stated. That Caring
ton may get a division is now more
probable than ever before.
