senator Nathan B. Scott, who rsz
Gently returned from abroad. has IL
sued the following statement:
During my absence from. the
state / understand that a wholly un-
warranted and unJustihable attack
has been made on me by certain
Democratic newspapers. alleging in
eject that 1 have been guilty OF. 9
bunco game and working gold
brick proposition relative to public
building appropriations in the state.
Il was stated that no appropriations
had been made for number of pub
lie buildings and they would not be
built.
I'm reply to this absolutely false
assertion it is only necessary to point
out the way all public buildings are
built. and that is the step that has
been taken. The buildings will he
built. An appropriation is rarely. sc
ever, made for public building at
the time of its. authorization. The
government experts then visit the
cities where the buildings have been
authorized and get estimates Of the
cost and select a suitable site. The
next step taken is to get the formal
for the public building.
Il understand that representative OF
the government has visited all the
west Virginia towns where public
are needed and secured es-
Inmates on sites and during the next
session OF Congress will have recon-
mendations to make Tor appropria-

A Bad Fight at Decatur City.

There was a bad fight at Decatur
City last Saturday evening in which
several parties were mixed up, and
during the melee which followed at
least two men were seriously injured,
but we have heard SO many conflict
ing stories in regard to the matter
that it is impossible to tell just who
did the hitting which inflicted
the injuries. 1t appears that the
trouble started between Dutch
Carroll and Al Woodard, and then
Woodard's brothers, Willis, John and
Gus took hand and c. c. Beck and
w. H. Bronson also mixed in. The
fight started out in the street, and
a second one followed at the Office of
Justice w. D. Shelton, before whom
some of the combatants had been ar
rested, in which it is claimed that
Carroll struck John Woodard over
the head with an iron bar, cutting a
bad cash. Mr.. Bronson was knocked
unconscious for nearly half an hour
and it is said that his jaw is frac-
tured. The preliminary hearing of
the case is being held at Decatur
City today as The Reporter goes to
press "Wednesday afternoon.

HELD WITHOUT BONDS
Justice Pryor Binds Hugh Tedle Ov-
er to the Grand Jury, Without
Bends. Young Boys Also.

Justice A. NJ. Pryor, before whom
the preliminary examination OF
Hugh Teale, charged with MUIR
der in the first degree, was held last
week, rendered his decision on last
Thursday morning, after careful
review of the testimony given at the
preliminary hearing and consulting
the law governing such cases, and
held Hugh Teale to the grand jury
without bond. A strong effort was
made by the attorneys for the de-
fendant to secure his release under
bonds, but the court held he would
not be justified in releasing him un-
der bonds. The same holding ap-
piled to the case against Tom and
Ed Young, who had waived pre-
liminary hearing when they were
arraigned. All four of the parties
under arrest charged with the mur-
der of Mrs. Levi Zornes, are in Jail,
held without bonds and the case will
60 before the grand jury at the
January term of the district court
which convenes in this city on jan
uary 10th.

The new Leon depot will be en-
tirely finished and ready for use as
a Christmas present, the contractor
and his workmen straining every
effort to complete the work by Sat-
urday night. Leon waited long
time for a new depot, but it paid
to be patient for we now have one
of the finest depots in the state, and
the finest depot ever erected by the
Burlington road in, city the size
of Leon.
The above illustration of the new
building shows it's general appear
ance, but it must be seen to be ap-
preciated. The building is 32xS4
feet, built of Coffeyville double
pressed red brick, with Bedford
stone trimmings. and slate roof.
The general waiting room at the
east end of the depot Is quite large,
22x36 feet, and it is finished in a
beautiful manner, with mosaic tile
floor, marble base board and white
tile wainscoating. The doors and
interior finish are of oak. The
ladies' retiring room is finished in
the same manner, and is equipped
with lavatories and closets. There
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-12-22

is also a smoking room for the gen.
tlemen finished in like manner. The
ticket Office which occupies the CEN
ter of the south side of the depot
is finished in Antewerp oak, equipped
with elegant counters, tables, and
closets. The entire west end of the
depot is used for the baggage room,
with counter opening direct to the
waiting rooms. Above the white tile
wainscoating the walls throughout
are delicately United and the effect
is most pleasing one. The entire
building will be lighted with electric
lights, and is heated with hot water.
Wide brick platforms have been
built entirely around the depot, and
there are two long track platforms
which extend for a distance of "204
feet along the double tracks in front
of the depot, which will afford plat
form for the entire length of the
passenger trains. There is big
steel electroiler with group Of
lights at each end of the platform
and another fine fixture under the
center of the platform, as we'll as
a number of small lights around the
depot, so that it will be well lighted.

Little River Bridge Burned.

The west span of the bridge over
Little river, about half way be-
tween Leon and Davis City, was
burned Tuesday evening, the fire
evidently starting from Goals drop
ped from a passing engine. The fire
was discovered by parties living
near after it had quite start, but
as there was no water available to
use the entire span was burned and
fell in, delaying all traffic over the
road. The night passenger train
was held at Davis City, and special
train was sent to the scene Wednes-
day morning with material to build
temporary bridge, and it is ex-
pected that trains will be running
again some time this Wednesday,
afternoon.

Surplus.

At the semi-annual meeting of
the directors of the Exchange Ma
tional bank of Leon on Tuesday,
they placed $4,000 more to the sur
plus fund out of the undivided
pronts of the bank. Money placed in
the surplus fund of national bank
is SO. much added capital and can
not be withdrawn except to pay
losses should loss ever occur. This
makes $4,000 added to the surplus
fund of this bank during the last
two years, being more that rs per
cent of the capital stock, and speaks
we'll for the successful growth of the
institution. The directors audited
the business of the bank, examined
all the securities and found every
thing extremely satisfactory. The
bank will start with the new year
in the most prosperous condition in
its history.

the contract, and he has done
splendid and satisfactory work on
the new depot, being ably assisted
by his superintendent, Mr.. F. j.
Massard, also of St. Joe. Mr.. Har-
rison has given employment to a
number of local workmen all sum-
mer, it being his endeavor at all
times to employ local labor when
ever possible. He has used the
very best of material throughout
the construction of the depot and
it speaks we'll for him as first-class
contractor and builder. Mr.. H. ].
Laubenfels, of Burlington, the
building inspector of the Burling-
ton Route has looked after the work
since the depot was first comm enced,
it being his duty to see that every
thing connected with it was exactly
according to specifications. He has
had years of experience in this work
and is a most pleasing gentleman,
who when the depot is officially turn
ed over to the railroad company
can feel that they have secured ex-
actly what they have contracted for,
and the citizens of Leon have right
to be proud of their fine new depot.
