Asked what sight represented to his

Why did they stop playing in such a

Sir Walter Runciman, author Of the

early fascinated him, and at the age
of twelve he ran away from home,

at an Irish port. His love for the sea,
however. remained. and before long
he was serving on an American vessel

Unfortunately, his former captain,
piqued at his successful escape, had
him captured and brought back.
Heavy punishment followed. with the
not unnatural consequence of a second

At the right moment he left the sea

SETTLEMENT OF
WEST POINT AFFAIR
Petitioners Win Boards Decision In
Road Case In Which Farmers
Were Interested.

FORT MADISON, Ia. Oct 1o.-The
West Point township road case,
which has been before the Lee coun-
ty board of supervisors for several
days, has been settled. The amount
of damages has not been determined
upon but the road has been located
according to the recommendation of
the original petitioners. The petition
ers are to put in the road at their
own expense and guarantee to have 1t
in good condition for travel, which
includes the erection of one bridge,
some cuIverts, and the usual amount
of grading.
The case started some time ago
and has been known as the Theodore
Kramer case, Kramer being one of
the petitioners and most affected by
the road. The petition was signed by
fifty-nine names and recommended
that the road be located as follows:
Starting at point on the West Point
timber road just west of Devil creek ;
thence north about 200 rods across
the Benbow property; thence north
east about 80 rods. east about 40
rods; north 40 rods; east 20 rods;
north 40 rods; west 20 rods; north 50
rods to the Farley road and with the
Farley road forming connection
road between the West Point timber
road and the Middle West Point road
Following the petition Gerhard
Sanders was appointed as commits
sioner and he located the road, not as
recommended, but beginning at a
point east of Devil creek and running
due north about $50 rods, thence east
about so rods. This met with re
monstrance, signed by 80 names.
Since then the board has been listen
ing to arguments on both sides and
the decision was reached Wednesday
after the members of the board had
themselves made a trip to the scene
Of the controversy.
