Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1911-03-15
COURT IN SESSION.
Judge HObsOn Engaged i'm Canvass
ing MulCt Consent Petition.
Decision Tomorrow or
Friday.

Judge Hobson and his reporter,
w. w. Comstock, came up from
West Union Monday night, and on
| Tuesday reOpened court, and since
that time have been working on the
mulct saloon petition case, making
careful canvass Of the names on
the consent petition and the with
drawals. He spent all day yester-
day at this work and is still at il,
checking over the lists with his re-
porter, and it is altogether prob
able that he will not finish this part
of the work before tomorrow. Then
he will prepare his opinion in the
case and announce decision either
orally or file written opinion. It
is matter in which every citizen
OF Winneshiek county is concerned,
and the outcome of the case will
be awaited with much interest.
In this connection the city school
election developed considerable ex-
citement, which in a measure at
least explains the large vote. It
did not leak out until late in the
afternoon Monday, that the saloon
interests were making an attempt
to get out as large a vote in the
school election as possible of per-
sons favoring the mulct saloons.
but such was the case. The reason
is the section of the law which
states that in cities of over $500
and less than 5000 consent petit
tion of eighty per cent of the voters
at the last preceding election will
be sufficient to permit saloons to
operate in that city, under the pro-
visions of the law, and we under
stand that the annual school cleo
ton has been construed by the
courts to be an election under the
terms of the law. Such being the
case, regardless of the result of the
case now before Judge Hobson, if
eighty per cent of those who voted
at the school election in Decorah on
Monday sign consent petition, the
saloons will continue to operate in
Decorah as usual. This explains the
activity of the saloon interests at
the election.

SPECIAL EXHIBIT CARS.
Iowa Oat Special Here March 22d
and Western Products En-
hibits March 31st.

Before the end of the month De-
corah will be visited by two exhibits
which will be of particular interest,
and especially the first, when on
next Wednesday, March 22d, the
Oat Special of the Iowa Agricultural
College, together with a number OF
professors of that institution. will
visit Decorah. and lecture to our
people on the raising of oats. These
specials are given by the railroads
to the state for educ1 ional pur-
poses, and the result is always an
increased yield. Every farmer with
in twenty miles of Decorah ought
to visit this train when it comes
here, see the exhibits and hear the
lectures. The train will come over
the Milwaukee.
There will also be an exhibit car
here on March 31st, showing pro-
ducts along the new Pacific exten-
sion of the Milwaukee, which will
no doubt be very interesting ex-
hibit.

Orders were issued last week for
sixteen thousand U. S. troops to be
rushed to the Mexican border and
for four warships to sail immediate
ly for the Gulf of Mexico, ostensibly
to answer, by means of a mimic
war, the charges that the army is
not prepared for real warfare.
Troops have been massed at San An
tonic and Galveston, Texas and San
Diego and San Pedro, Cal. The
four warships are to proceed to Gal
weston and endeavor to wrest the
city from the control of the coast
artillery. This proposed movement
of such large body of troops into
the vicinity of the international
boundary has naturally given rise
to all sorts of war rumors. 1t was
denied in official circles, however,
that the maneuvers have any con-
nection whatever with the present
disturbances in Mexico, but that
they are In conformity with plans
long laid and without reference t,
Mexican conditions. Later, it has
been acknowledged that the purpose
OF the movement is to. protect the
interests of our citizens in Mexico
by ending the insurrection, through
blockade Of the border line, thus
preventing the transporting of sup
plies to the insurgents. 1t is also
reported that President Diaz is
about to resign, in which case 1t
is deemed expedient to protect
American interests in Mexico.

ever, and just as successful. Good

knows him.
Coming to this county in 1860,

he came to Decorah and started in

two or three sources of danger to
the mill against which was cau-
toned to be particularly watchful.
One of them was the fear of in
cendiary fires; the boss had all
along believed that at least one of
the fires before mentioned had been
caused by an enemy of his out of
revenge for some fancied injury,
and he feared the new mill might
be destroyed the same way. An
other was the fear that hot Jour
nails might set the sawdust on fire
or the floor near them | always
guarded against danger from this
source by pouring water on the
journals and on the floor near them
soon after the men quit work at
night, so there was little to fear
from over heated journals or from
the floor near them.
One of my most important duties
was to get on full head of steam
in the morning in time to start up
the machinery as soon as the engin-
eer made his appearance. This l
had always been careful to do with
out any trouble, until one morning,
about five o'clock, with a good head
of steam on and big fires in the
furnaces, I discovered to my dismay
that the pump was out of order,
refusing to do its work; no water
was going into the boilers; an ex-
plosion would soon follow unless
something was done to prevent it.
So | threw open the furnace doors
and raked out all the fire, leaving
the doors open to cool off the inside
as soon as possible, then | ran to
the whistle which was located over
the boilers and began the biggest
and longest blow | ever made in
my life, which is saying a good deal.
There was no let up to it; it was
the long roll of an army in the
presence of an enemy. The old gen.
eral, owner of the mill, came tear
ing down from his home on the Hill
in his shirt sleeves; the engineer
and several of the workmen were
soon on the ground and measures
were promptly taken to set every
thing to rights. | was commended
for my timely discovery of the de-
fective pump, and on the work
had done to safeguard the property.
Also on my personal escape from
destruction, for if the boilers had
bursted while | had been standing
over them. there would not have
been enough of me left to hold a
wake over. My work at the mill
was continued until it closed down
for the winter, when my attention
was turned to other things.

DECORAH'S POPULATION 1902.
Loss Not SO Great as Other Iowa
Cities, But Still is 354.

The census bureau has just given
out the census of Decorah, among
other Iowa towns, which is 3,592,
according to the census of 1910.
Ten years ago it was 3,946. so that
the decrease is 354, which. COM
pared to many other Iowa cities, is
not bad. when the time of the year
the census was taken and other cir
cumstances are considered. 1t is
safe to say that Decorah has 1000
population at the present time. Our
guess several months ago that the
census would give us $500 was
pretty close. missing it by only s.
Waukon has 2,025. loss of 12S:

JAII DELIVERY.
Two Inmates of the Cavalier County
Bastilc Get Away.

Langdon had a Jail delivery on
Wednesday night, John Krensen and
b. H. Campbell, two short change
artists brought over from Calvin,
making their escape. The two were
only In for thirty day sentences. The
ing a key with which they opened
their cage door and then sawed a hole
through the ceiling of the corridor.
They then climbed up into the audi
tors office and out through a window.
When the men were committed to
Jail they We're thoroughly searched,
as is always the custom, and Sheriff
Drury is certain that they were given
some outside assistance in making
their escape. During the day they
We're allowed the freedom of the cor
lrldor or larger room. and while in
there it is thought that a file was
handed to them through the base
ment window. With the file. which
was found later, they had shaped a
key from the handle of the stove
shovel. and with this key they had UNI
which apartments Turnkey Schwartz
had placed them the night before.
The other inmate of the Jail, the
old man who was sent down from
Hannah last week. was given his or
ders by the other two to make no
outcrN or he would be dealt with, the
old fellow having expressed his inten-
ton Of sticking to the ship. When
asked yesterday why he didn't go with
the rest. he stated that he was we'll
pleased with his surroundings.
krensen and Campbell were short
change artists Of the finished type and
gave several exhibitions of their work
while in Jail here. 1t is quite evident
that they feared being arraigned on
other charges or they would not have
attempted a delivery after serving
more than a third of their thirty day
sentence. 1t is also evident that they
knew how to get out of Jail and where
to get help when they needed 1t.
