LAND" BRIDGE BOTHERS
Extension Work on Melan Structure Is
Condemned by City.

More trouble in connection with To-
peka's famous dry land bridge--tfe ex-
tension: work on the Melan structure
was condemned Friday afternoon by
City Commissioner Tandy, City Engi-
reer Fulton and William Mueser. a
consulting engineer from the Steel Ce-
ment Bridge company.
1t was charged by the city officials
and the consulting engineer that the
cribbing and moulds which have been
built by Contractor Johnson, were not
set according to specifications and the
contractor was ordered to tear them
cut at once.
1t was found that the cribbing and
moulds for the south snan were a foot
and a half too narrow at the bottom
and were set about IS inches south of
the stakes This WAS a serious mistake
in the future strength and durability of
the bridge-even though it is being
built on dry land-and the officials laid
down a warning hand

On account of the attitude MAIN
tanned by Assistant Attorney Foote,
it is believed that the signed state
ment contains valuable information
and perhaps a confession, although
Sheriff Daley of Barton county held
a conference with Logan Friday but
said that he failed to get any addi-
ton information. Logan made and
signed the statement for Attorney
Foote today and has been in more
congenial spirits since that time. The
statement appears to have lifted a
heavy load off his mind and he has
been more willing to converse with his
fellow prisoners since then.
Puelo. Colo, Aug. enquiry
among the banks of Pueblo has failed
to show that any trust fund has been
held at any time for Henry c. Logan
OF Ottawa.
The police of Hutchinson made in
quiry of the Pueblo Savings and Trust
company several days ago regarding a
trust fund of $4,000, which was be-
lieved to be held by it for Logan, but
the bank reported that his name APP
peared nowhere within the last fifteen
years.
Great Bend, Kan, Aug. 6.-Sher-
iff Daley has received a letter from
/. c. Hill from Hudson, Kan, enclos-
ing a pass book on the First National
bank of this city, a used check book
and a lot of blank checks, all of which
had been torn to pieces and thrown
away, and on which was Millers
name. They were found east of Hud-
son. If Logan had come into pos
session of the team as he stated, he
probably would have not attempted
to get rid of the checks as he did.
And the papers could not have been
found where they were, on the route
taken by Logan. if they had been in
the possession of anyone else

REFERS TO ToPEKA's SLOGAN.

Harrington Boosters Visit.

In speaking of the slogan adopted
by the Topeka Commercial club and
the visit of the Harrington Commercial
club to Topeka in Merchants week,
Town Development" municipal
magazine printed in Chicago, has the
following to say:
Good slogans work while the town
sleeps.
Poor slogans never work
Topeka. Kan.-Topeka WILL is
the good and catchy slogan of that
thriving Kansas town. The value of a
good slogan was shown recently when
fifty Herington, Kan, boosters paid a
visit to Topeka and marched down
the principal streets singing:
Topeka. Kan, Topeka Will,
We're from Harrington
Just over the hill
Nov maybe the Topekans didn't
give those Heringtonians a warm re-
ception.'

Exciting Runaway.

Tiffany Vancelett of Montreal, who
has been in town for the last two weeks
visiting his brother, Henry, had mar
row escape from serious injury Monday
afternoon. He was driving a colt down
Seymour street when the animal be-
came unmanageable. Mr. Vancelett
who has only one arm, tried to turn the
frightened animal across the railroad
track when the wagon wheel was caught
between rails and crossing and Vance
lett was thrown out, striking on his
right shoulder and head. He was pick
ed up and taken to the home of Edison
Wissell, where DR.. D. C. Noble dressed
the wounds on his head, face and
shoulder. He was later taken to his
brothers home at Cornwall. The horse
ran into the yard of Mr.. Wissell, where
it collided with rig belonging to Frank
Nison, badly damaging it.

Two Fires on Chipman Hill.

During the past week two fires have
been discovered on Chapman hill, either
of which might have done much damage
had they not been discovered in time
and extinguished. Last Sunday morn
ing fire was discovered running among
the dead grass and number of men
" ere soon on the spot and after hard
russell the fire was extinguished but
not until considerable territory had
been burned over and some trees had
been badly scorched. Tuesday after
noon fire was again discovered on the
hill. This time several members of the
fire department went to the scene, tax
ing two hose carts and several hundred
feet of hose, and after several
hours hard work the fire was ex-
tinguished. A stiff breeze was blowing
at the time and the woods at the top of
the hill was threatened.
Chimpman hill is one of the beauty
spots of this region and it is fortunate
that these fires were discovered before
the blaze reached the forests of pine
and other trees which grow there.

came to Middlebury from Brandon when
he was thirty years old and was engag
ed in the tinsmith and plumbing bust
ness until 1884, since which time
he has been in the hotel business, a
period of 26 years, which is pretty
good record.
During his residence of 46 years Mr..
Sargent has made host of friends in
this village, has held many offices Of

The cantata death and Life, writ

rendered so acceptably by the Memorial
Baptist church quartet on Easter Sun
day, is to be repeated on this coming
Sunday evening. Prof. Cunningham,
the director, has received so many re-
quests for another opportunity to hear
the cantata that he has decided to sub
stitute it for the usual Sunday evening
anthems. The music will be rendered
from beginning to ending without g
break, and the rendition will take about
twenty minutes.

Building Operations.

Building operations in town have be-
gun in good earnest. The foundations
are already laid for the new Kidder
bakery and the building which Col Bat
tell is to erect and the brick work has
been begun on the bakery.
These changes have necessitated the
change in quarters of Piper's market
which has been moved to the building
formerly occupied by Gorham & Sons.
Joseph Calvi, is now located in the
Register building. The Piper building
is about demolished.
In addition to these work is rapidly
progressing on the building which is
being erected for the presentation of
the Roman drama by the College Com
mencement week, and work on the new
women's dormitory will probably be
started before long.
The new building for the national
bank has not been started as yet but
probably will be some time this spring.
The addition to the Battell block,
foundations for which were laid last
fall, will probably be continued after
Mr., Battell's other building is COM
pleted.
These new structures, together with
other building operations which are
likely to take place, will make Middle
bury lively place during the coming
summer and will give employment tc
many workmen.

c. E. Severance who is well known
locally as manufacturer of rustic fur

Taft at Washington a rustic chair which
is five feet in height and 27 inches
wide and contains the latest designs in
that class of work. The name Taft, y
is raised in large rustic letters on the
back of the chair, which is made of the
best cedar. A letter from the presi-
dents secretary received short time
ago stated that Mr.. Taft would be
pleased to accept the gift which was Of
fered by Mr. Severence. 1t requires a
good stout chair to hold the President
but there is no question about this one
standing the strain.
