Occupy Fine New Garage.

E. w. Teale & Son are now occu-
pying the fine new garage on Com
mercial street, moving their machin-
cry to the new building the first of
the week, and they have the most
modern and complete garage in this
part of the state. The building is
owned by E. w. Teale and DR.. H. R.,
Layton, and was erected at cost of
$4,000. 1t is 40x96 feet, and is alb
solutely fire proof, the walls being of
cement bricks and blocks, with ce-
ment floors throughout, steel CELL
ing, and truss roof which gives
them the entire floor space without
a single post The building was de-
signed and erected by F. L. & Harry
Jenkins, of this city, and is sure a
good one, showing their skill as
builders The garage will be steam
heated, with water connections, so
that cars can be easily washed, cleo
trio lights throughout the building,
and storage gasoline tank is being
built outside with inside connections
so that gasoline can be pumped di-
rect to the cars. The north end is
devoted to the work shop, the big
engine, lathes and other tools filling
this room. There is a pit for use in
repairing cars, and with Mr.. Teale
and his son Chet for mechanics it
will be possible to have almost any
kind of repair work done at the Leon
garage, and two better auto work
men cannot be found anywhere. It
is a garage of which Leon can we'll
be proud of and tourists who have
visited it say it is the best garage
they ever saw outside of some Of
the larger cities. .

Will Establish Cut-Of Trail.

Another auto trail is coming to
Leon, a meeting of good roads en-
thusiasts being held at Hatfield, Mo-,
last week, and an organization per-
fected with I. J. Daily president,
Taylor Grimes vice president, L. R.
Drechler secretary, and F. A. Smith
treasurer, all of the officers living at
Kellerton.- They propose to have a
cutoff to connect with the Inter-
State and Waubonsie trails at Leon,
starting from Albany, Mo-, and rum
ming through Allendale, Hatfield,
Kellerton and Decatur City, then to
Leon. The claim is made that this
will shorten the Interstate trail
by some miles, and it will at least in
sure allother permanent good road
leading to Leon from the west. This
will make Leon the junction point of
four trails running north, south, east
and west. = {,

Carnival Closed Saturday.

Miller Bros. United Shows closed
their weeks appearance in this city
Saturday evening. They did a fair
business during the week, but the
rain which commenced Friday even
ing and continued all day Saturday
spoiled the two big days for them.
The carnival company appeared here
under the auspices of the K. P. band
boys, and the boys are ahead $108

the weather been good the last two
days they would probably have
Cleaned. up $3.50 or $500. Miller
Bros. are nice clean gentlemen, who
have a good clean list of attractions
with them, and during their stay in
this city they made many friends.
They probably ran behind while in
Leon, as their expenses are very
heavy. It cost them $275 for rail-
road charges to come from Union
vile to Leon, and $3.50 for their
train from this city to Charlton.

aries and expenses, and it is doubtful
if they took in as much money as
they spent in Leon. The concerts
given by the Italian band were fine,
and they played some very high
class music while in this city.
One of the attractions which drew
big crowds was the Five in One show
where the big snakes were shown,
as they were fed while in this city,
each one being given number of
live chickens. The largest of these
snakes is a boa constructor 26 feet 8
inches in length and his mate is al
most as large. They would take a
good sized hen and wrap their body
around it, squeezing it to death and
then swallow it whole. On Thurs
day evening while the keeper of the
big snakes, j. w. Menefee, was feed
ing a chicken to one of the boa con-
strictors, one of the Silver Rock Ply
tons sprang at him and fastened his
teeth in his hand, the snakes teeth
cutting to the bone and the wound
bled profusely. He grabbed the
snake back of the head and lifted
several feet of his body from the
ground, thus preventing it coiling
around his arm. A number of peo-
pie were in the tent at the time, and
the most of them made a hurried
exit when the snake fastened on the
mans hand,

Decatur County Boy Wins Gold
Medal.

We learn that Harry Buffum, of
Leroy, who graduated from the Lib
eral Arts department of the State
University at Iowa City last week,
was awarded the Iowa Sons of the
Revolution gold medal for excellence
in history. This prize is awarded an
nually to the male graduate showing
the best record in history during the
entire college course. This is the
second time this medal has been
awarded to Decatur county student
in the past three years, the medal
being won in 1909 by H. Hale Smith,
of Lamont, and it speaks well for the
Decatur county boys who have at
tended the State University.

Robbed of Money and Watch.

A travelling collector for Kirks-

robbed of his gold watch and $40 in
money in this city last week. The
fellow had been drinking pretty
heavily and could not tell just when
or where he was robbed. The first

from his pocket, and the next night
his bill book and gold watch were
taken. Sheriff Andrew went to

able excitement last Friday morning
when Bill Taft, one of the largest Of
the trained lions badly lacerated the
arm Of Joe Creighton, one of the
keepers employed with the show
The lion had been in ill humor fol
several days, acting very ugly and
had inflicted a small cut upon hie
head. Creighton was attempting to
apply some antiseptic medicine ia
the sore reaching through the bars
of the big iron arena, when the lion
seized his left arm and pulled him
through the bars to his shoulder,
His cries attracted several of the at
tendants who hastened to his rescue,
and tried to beat the enraged lion
away, but did not succeed until

peared, and the lion sulked away
from the man, and he was given Mt
tentiOn. The lion had bitten and
chewed his arm badly, there being
about thirty teeth marks in his arm.
Some one telephoned Mr.. Mllfer,
who was in his private car at the
depot, and with Mr.. Bowen, who has
charge of the circus, he FASTENED to
the scene, and the unfortunate
young man was taken to DR.. n. r.
Layton's Office where his arm was
dressed and he was given every at
tenti0n.
In talking with Capt Scott, the in
trepid young trainer who has charge
of the five trained lions, he told us
they were all forest bred beasts, and
were not yet three years old. He
has only been training them for ten
weeks, but has them already so that
they perform many good acts. He
admitted that this particular lion,
Bill Taft, had on several occasions
made vicious attacks on him while
he was in the cage with them, and
exhibited several ugly looking scars
which he had received from the
teeth and claws of the lion. One
across his right wrist almost cut his
hand off, another On his leg and a
third on his side showed that the
animal did not hesitate to attack 4
man. The wound ON hts wrist re-

ing, and when 1T WIS inflicted it was
necessary for the attendants to use
kerosene torches before the lion
could be s,ibdued. And the same
evening he gave another exhibition
of his ugliness. Capt, Scott was in
the act of feeding the lion just be-
fore supper when the animal struck
him on the left hand with one of his
claws, splitting the back of his hand
open clear to the bone, the wound
requiring the attention tof physi-
clan. Capt. Scott is young man,
but he has plenty of nerve, and he
takes his life in his hands every
time he goes into the iron enclosed
arena with these ferocious lions.
But probably it is only question of
time until he will be killed by one
of them, for they are treacherous
brutes and are only waiting for their
chance to tear him to pieces.
The Miller Bros. shows went from
here to Charlton Sunday on their
special train, where they are show
ing this week under the auspices of
the Eagles.

statement leaving little doubt as to his
attitude toward Governor Frear and the
latter's administration. All has not
been congenial between "Prince Gu
