OUTSIDE AID CALLED
To Extinguish Fire in Wenham, Mass,
Yesterday Afternoon.


Yesterday Afternoon.
Boston. Jan. l4.A stable, a garage,
two autos and valuable equipment, total
ing $4,000, were destroyed in a fire at
Wenham yesterday afternoon, which gave
the hremen tough fight and forced the
Wenham department to make its second
call for aid within two days to the Bey-
erly department,
The stable and garage, owned by Ed
win B. Cole, were situated on Larch
street. EARLY in the afternoon gaso-
lene tank of an auto exploded, and in a
flash the interior of the garage was in
flames. P. A. Nelson, chauffeur, tried
to save his car. He ran into the burn
ing building and tried to push the auto
out, but the flames licked around him,
burning his face and hands, and almost
cut off his escape, when he gave up the
attempt.

Ben Stephenson, we'll known in
Keokuk, this morning threatened to
assault Charles Klasing while the
two we're on the city market grounds,
and before the fracas between the
two was over, so much excitement
had been created that the police
were called to take the combatants
in charge and restore peace on the
city property. Stephenson seems to
have been the aggressor in the trou-
BILE, and when Klasing swore out an
information in the superior court
charging him with disturbing the
peace, he entered a plea of guilty.
Judge W. L. Mcnamara sentenced him

INFORMATIONS
AGAINST GAMBLERS
Filed This Morning In Superior Court
Against Men Caught in Sat
urday Raid.

Informations were sworn out this
morning in the superior court against
the ten men who were caught in Guy
Marshal Henry Schever's raid on the
Wheatley place last Saturday night
Two informations were filed. The
first charges John Johnson, Paul Red
mond, J. Reldon, Johnnie Johnson, j.
J. Shepherd, J. W. Harrison and Jerry
Harrington with resorting to No. II
South Third street for the purpose of
gambling. The second charges John
Wheatley and James Simons with the
misdemeanor of keeping and having
charge of house or place at No. II
South Third street, said nlace being
resorted to for the purpose of gamb-
ling. Several of the men named in
the informations were on hand at ten
o'clock this morning, but after ap-
pearing before the judge to protect
their bonds they were allowed to go,
pending arraignment.
Jerry Harrington, ex-deputy mar
shall. who spent Saturday night be-
hind the bars, obtained bond Sunday
morning ard was turned loose about

SOLDIERS DEPART
FROM SAN ANTONIO
Army Division is But Memory With
Only One Brigade Left
There.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July "a
With the departure last week of the
unattached men ordered to their posts
from the maneuver camp, the army
division here is but a memory A re-
inforced brigade remains, but it is
believed it will remain but a fort
night longer.
The reinforced brigade consists of
the Tenth, Seventeenth and Twenty
eighth infantries and the Eleventh
cavalry. These, with the Third cav
airy and Twenty-second infantry, sta
toned here. number 1900 men.
Major Gen. William H. Carter still
is in command Of the reduced force.
Officers complain bitterly that during
the entire time the division was in
camp here, not single test of real
importance was made, though this
was the first tirle since the civil war
that division of regular troops had
been modified. Tho officers declare
that little, if any real benefit ac-
crued from the maneuvers because
none of the modern war conditions
were met, and, they say, "the Lord
only knows when we will be able TO
get together a division Of regulars
again in peace time"

WHAT LEAGUE DID
IN HANNIBAL CASE
Agreed to Carry Club If Association
is Unable to Support it After
August 18th.

It became general gossip about the
streets of Keokuk today that the
agreement with the Central Asso.
citation entered into with Hannibal at
the league meeting last week is one
which provides that the league will
carry the Hannibal club financially
after August Is if the association is
unable to do so. The association, how
ever, will meet all bills until that
time and very likely will be able to
finance the game until the end of the
season. The secrecy of the Burlington
meeting has not met with general ia.
vor around the circuit and fans have
clamored for knowledge of what
has been done.
