TOLL CATE BAR
BROKEN; ARREST
Frank Seefeldt Is to Be Prose
cuted for Destroying
City Property.
REFUSES THE BRIDGE FEE
Will be Proceeded Against Under Or
ders From the CounCiI-Dis-
pute in Street Grade.

Frank Seefeldt has an idea that the
city can't enforce collection of tolls
at the Rock river bridges; and so firm
is he set in his belief that he broke
down bar placed at the gate by Col
lector John Williams, so it was charg-
ed at the meeting of the city council
last evening in a report offered by AL
derman Borst, chairman of the COM
mittee on bridges. The report, which
was adopted. also ordered the arrest
and prosecution of Seefeldt on d
charge of destroying city property
Mr. Williams of late has been meet
ing resistance from several persons
driving vehicles over the bridges. and
two weeks ago he was instructed to
have a bar placed at the toll gate, the
same to be raised after the toll fee had
been paid. Seefeldt, it is claimed, is
one Of those who refused to pay, and
when he was confronted by the low
cred bar, it is alleged, he drove against
it and broke it down.
To Paint Election Booths
Aldermen McNealy. Cochran and
Holzhammer were appointed a COM
mittee to secure bids for the painting
of the election booths in the various
precincts of the city. The county pro-
vides the booths. but the city is ex-
pected to maintain them in good re-
pair.
An ordinance granting the Rock Is
land Manufacturing company permits
sion to lay a switch track across First
street to its factory property was
passed, as was one providing for the
laying of sewer and water main on
Ninth avenue between Twenty-seventh
and Twenty-ninth streets. The ex-
pense of the latter is estimated at
$2,4OS.
Thirty-fifth Street Grade.
A bill of the Tri-City Construction
company for 1926 for grading of Thir-
ty-ffth street south of Fourteenth ave
nue. was ordered paid. The work is far
from complete, and the council appro-
priated an additional $3.50. This
amount, however. will not be adequate
In the discussion of the work it was
shown that the contractors had hauled
dirt II blocks when one block was all
that was necessary. In an inquiry to
ascertain who ordered the long haul,
City Engineer Treichler stated that
the authority came from the mayor.
Mr.. Treichler was not present at the
meeting, but the mayor stated that he
could not recall having given such an
order. He asked for time to look up
the matter, promising to present the
facts at the next meeting of the coun-
ell.

HONEY WITHOUT THE STING
Erie Man Inyents Bee Trap to Use
in Robbing the Hives

Samuel Blagg, an S3-year-old resi-
dent OF Erie, H., has invented a bee
hive attachment that makes it possible
for the bee-keeper to imprison the in
sects and rob their hives of honey at
his pleasure without getting stung and
without resorting to the use of smoke, or
any of the apparatus ordinarily used.
The invention is being shown at the
county fairs in the northern part of the
state and is attracting much attention.

Farmers are beginning TO cut corn
for fodder and owing to the high price
of forage it is likely that more of the
crop will be harvested in this manner
than ever before. Corn IS ripening

weather and many Of the fields are
now safely out of the reach Of frost.

attractiveness of the surroundings, Civ
