ina-No Indication Now of a Plea
of Guilty by
Negro.

The case of John DeYong We. Bow
man-Boyer Company, growing out of
the sale of an auto delivery wagon
which could not do the work of a
team of mules" according to the pc
tition. and now on trial in the district
court, was delayed Saturday for ar
rival of the plaintiff who is on his
way to Keokuk from Idaho The plain
tiff's evidence is all in with the ex-
ception of his own testimony and he
is expected to take the stand Mon
day afternoon Because of the delay,
which was not unexpected, the trial
of the Roland murder case, set for
Tuesday afternoon, 2 p. M, may be
delayed.
Unless Jack Roland, who is under
Indictment for the murder of Mrs.
Lily Jones, enters plea of guilty
the work of impaneling jury in the
case will be begun early next week.
At the present time there is no indi-
cation that the case will not be tried.
1t is understood that French Roland,
brother of the defendant, and consid-
cred one of the important witnesses
will not be in the city to testify and
for this reason plea of guilty would
not come as surprise. 1t is point
ed out that without French Roland as
a witness the defense will be weak.
The Importance of his testimony from
the standpoint of the defendants at

WAS HEROINE
OF LIGHT HOUSE
Death OF Ida Lewis Brought Unique
Career to Close After Many
Years

The death of Ida Lewis, keeper OF
Lime Rock lighthouse, brings to a
close a career unique among her
countryWomen. For more than half a
century Ida Lewis had tended the
light on Lime Rock. She had saved
eighteen lives, many of them at great
personal risk. Her daring and skill
caused her to be called THE Grace
Darling of America" and there were
those who thought the American WON
ans achievements even more note
worthy than those of the daughter of
the English lighthouse-geeper.
Grace Darling saved but FIVE lives
from the sea, but she saved them
from the open Atlantic; Ida Lewis
carried on her work of rescue in the
calmer waters of Newport harbor.
Ida Lewis died, as she had lived, at
her post. She was So years OF age.
but her vigor had not abated until she
was seized with apoplexy on Friday
night She died Tuesday without re-
gaining consciousness.
Ida Lewis-her full name was Mrs.
Ida Lewis Wilson-was the only won
an to be intrusted with the care of an
American lighthouse. She was Is
years of age when her father, Hosea
Lewis, was appointed keeper of Lime
Rock light
Two wears after the family went to
live on the rock she saw catboat In
which four Newport young men were
maneuvering capsize in the harbor
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-10-29

She leaped into skiff, pulled to the
spot where the men were struggling
In the water and drew them out, one
by one, to safety.
At the age of % she had ten res
cues to her credit But on March 20,
1859. she played her part in a little
seaside drama which brought her
fame throughout the country. Two
soldiers and boatman who was TAX
ing them back to the barracks were
overtaken by a blizzard in the bay.
From the shore Ida Lewis heard the
cries of the drowning men. Not
withstanding the high sea and the
force of the gale, she put off into the
darkness, and, guiding herself by the
cries of the men. came upon their
skiff drifting bottom up in the bay.
The two soldiers she dragged into her
boat; the boatman had sank in the
icy water. The story of this exploit
went over the country, and then 1t
became known for the first time that
Ida Lewis father had been totally
crippled as result of an apopletic
stroke seven years before. The girl
and her mother had tended the light
as skillfully as any keeper in the
country
Honors were heaped upon the young
woman. She was given handsome
surf boat by the people of Newport
The Life Saving BENEFIT Association
of New York voted her a silver medal
and the general assembly of Rhode
Island adopted resolution commend
ing her bravery.
Several years later she rescued
three soldiers who had struck a reef
and in 1879 the federal government
showed it's appreciation of the WON
ans service by naming her keeper O
the light in the place Of her father
who had died. Later congress voted
her its gold medal OF the first class
! and the Massachusetts Humane So
ciety rewarding her with its silver
, medal which then, for the first time
went to'a woman outside the Bay
, state
, In 1906 she became life beneficiary
of the Carnegie hero fund to the ex
tent of monthly payment of $50
and in the same year the American
Cross of Honor Society conferred or
her its gold medal.

QUARTZ TAKEN TO PAGOSA.

Quartz, a Pagosa Springs prison
er. who has been confined in the Jail
here for several months for safe keep
ing, was sent To Pagosa this morning
in the custody of Deputy William
Sease, the latter having been sum-
moned as a witness in case to come
up at this term of court.
Herald readers will remember that
Quartz, who was arrested on a charge
OF forgery, set fire to the Pagosa Jail
while the ajiler was gone to breakfast,
and narrowly escaped being burnt up
with the building. 1t is said that
Quartz did the same trick while con-
fined in the Colorado Springs Jail
some years ago, and made his escape.
In Pagosa, the fire spread so rapidly
that the plan failed and the prisoner
was taken out just IN the nick of
time, to save his life.
Since his confinement in Durango,
Quartz has proved so ingenious that
it has been necessary TO keep a close
watch on him to prevent his carrying
out some plan of escape.

EVERYBODY MUST HELP.

If we are going to have good
town and good country everybody
must help to make it SO. If we sit
back and expect the Board of Trade,
or any other organization, or set of
men, to do all the work and make a
good town for us to live in we are
going to be disappointed.
The old saying that in union there
is strength is never more true than
in this case, the farmers must help
the town by patronizing the local
merchants and the merchants must
help the farmers by affording them
a home market at the very best pos
sible prices. The market must be one
that the producer is sure of, he must
feel that whatever he can produce
can be sold in that market and that
he will be paid all the produce is
worth under trade conditions.
We have always believed that d
great deal of the mail order" evil
was the fault of the local merchants
and not all the fault of those who
blindly worked injury to themselves
Dy SeHulflb lHclT iHOiley uub VI Vic
country. AS rule the buyer is will
ing TO pay price which will afford a
fair rate of profit to the dealer but
he feels that he should have price
named that does not include more
than that.
The farmer usually feels that in the
selling of his products, and the buy
ing of supplies, he is left entirely out
of the matter of prices, that he must
take what he is offered when he sells
and must pay wnaS he is asked when
he buys, and, to a certain extent, this
is true but this is not the fault of the
local dealer, the laws Of supply and
demand, and the larger markets, fix
the price usually, instead of the deal
er's inclination.
To make the town good, and the
county better, we must all work to-
gether for that which we lack. Good
roads, more ranchers and employment
for more wage earners, will make con-
ditions better, let's all work to get
them.

Use! Find an abandoned village

wise! Find an abandoned village
tucked away in the mountains; search
out its history and you will discover
that it either never had newspaper
or that it began to go down when the
editor moved away. They don't often
move away like that; they are much
too loyal to do SO. But now and then
it has happened that the town left
the ink man to live on hope alone and
the poor chap had to go where there
was matter to be found more filling.
More often he stays fighting the bat
tie and keeping the hope alive until
something turns up to prove his con-
tention and justify his faith.

The Central City Register-Call has
recently completed its fiftieth year of
publication. For 33 years it has been
under the editorship of one man, max
ing two records, both remarkable in
this land Of restless people and swift
changes. There are but two papers
in the state which antedate the Regis
ter-Call; it is the oldest in the ranks
of a considerable family of mine camp
papers which has grown up since its
press was first installed in u little
log cabin in Russell gulch.
Not always does the country editor
receive his dues at the hands of So
ciety. 1t is not always appreciated
how much good he accomp!ishes, what
a stay he makes to the community.
Generally in this country, he is one
OF the earlies pioneers. Many a
thrifty organ in prosperous county
seat of today entered the field when
the town it was to serve consisted
as in the case of the Register Call, of
"a store and blacksmith shop" and
had little else than hope on which to
build.
Hope is the chief capital on which
mining camps and all other towns are
founded. When he sets up his army
press and empties his bootfull of type
into the cases, he has implied con-
tract with the citizens there and to
come that through evil and good re-
port he will guard faithfully the
spark and do his best to fan it into
flame. Upon his shoulders he has
taken the destiny of the city that is
to be, and right well he guides and
shields it. From the first issue the
world is assured that Squeedunk is
the future, great, that from its be-
ginning of store, blacksmith shop
and newspaper office it is to grow
into the metropolis of wide area, be-
come city Of rank and occupy
proud position in the scheme of things
entire.
And the funniest thing about il all
is that often, so very often, the proph-
ecy comes true. Squeedunk does that
very thing; II had to do it; the Squee-
dunk Express Wouldn't haye It other
