other matters were taken up and dis

ing.
The cement work to be done is a
three-foot extension of the sidewalks
about the park and the building of a
curb and gutter at the edge of the
sidewalk. The curb is to be eighteen
inches above the sidewalk level and
will be broad enough for seat. The
gutter side is to be faced with white
cement and finished in a manner
similar to the base of the Baldauf.

BIG FIRE At BEACON
Two Barns, Two Horses and an
Auto Go Up in Flames.

Fire at one-thirty o'clock this morn
ing at Beacon caused a property loss
of several thousand dollars. Two
large barns and outbuildings with con-
tents owned by Doctor }. A. Ruan
and Daniel Lewis, were burned to the
ground. A team of good horses,
worth several hundred dollars, and
an automobile owned by the Doctor
were destroyed together with several
road vehicles, harness, feed and
equipment.
Dan Lewis operated a feed barn
and sheds and his place IS complete
ly destroyed. His loss is between six
and eight hundred dollars, possibly
greater.
Damage to the Odd Fellows build
ing, which was in the near vicinity
of the fire, amounts to several hun
dred dollars.
The fire was discovered by Doctor
Ruan, who was awakened about one
thirty o'clock by the disturbance
caused by the horses. The building
was wrapped in flames at that time
and nothing could be done to save
the animals nor any part of the prop
erty in the building
DR.. Ruan gave the alarm, but the
fire quickly spread to the adjoining
property and the fight made against
the spread of the flames was ineffec-
tual The heat was so intense that
no one could get within fighting dis
lance and the apparatus available
was useless. The fire was permitted
to burn itself out while efforts OF the
people were directed toward saving
adjoining property. 1t is a wonder
that the fire did not spread to other
buildings near by.
Some insurance was carried on the
property destroyed, but not enough to
cover more than a small portion of
the loss.
The fire was unquestionably of in
cendiary OrOgin. No fire of any kind
had been in or near the buildings and
the possibility of sparks from any di-
rectiOn is most remote.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles Of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

The arrest of Tom Payette, alias
"Frenchie" at Marshalltown Saturday
and the arrest of James Bradford,
known as Iowa Blackie," and Frank
Morgan, called "Blinkie," at Clear
Lake early Tuesday morning is the
first successful attempt of officers to
fasten upon a bad gang of operators
responsibility for offenses that thave
been of frequent occurrence along
the line of the Iowa Central from Os.
kalOosa to Mason City.
The town of Clifford, in Hardin coun.
ty, is said to be the rendezvous and
the headquarters of a gang OF about
seven bad ones" several of whom
have a penitentiary record back of
them. The gang is SO bad" that the
inhabitants of the little town gives
them a clear road and let them come
and go as they see fit and refuse to
even talk of the fellows and their
possible haunts. Nor are officers any
too brave about going into the town
to investigate the gang and its doings
This gang has been operating along
the lie of the Iowa Central from Ma
son City to oskaloosa and the North
western withou' interruption for
period of about five years. They
would break into and rob merchan
disc cars while the trains were In the
yards at Clifford; they would saci
cars of goods standing on the siding
at other stations and have even gone
so far as to take goods In sight OF tbs
trainmen, who were helpless to pre-
vent.
