AWAITING PLANS ON
LAKE CONSTRUCTION
Dam at New Hawkins Lake
Is Expected to Cost
About ST., 500.

Officers of the Richmond Lake and
Park company are eagerly awaiting
the arrival of the plans and estimates
of the dam to be constructed at North
Seventeenth street for the big lake at
Rchmond's proposed amusement
park. Engineer Jack Mueller, who is
in charge of this work, recently made
a visit to this city and dug for foun-
dations for the dam.
The dam foundation will be the
most expensive part of the work, for
although the men drilled down a dis
tance of forty feet, no solid footing
for the dam foundation could be
found Consequently it is proposed to
drive a set of pilings across the site
of the dam, sinking them to a solid
foundation. 1t is thought this feature
of the work alone will cost about ST.
500.
Mueller recently built a weir at the
dam site and ascertained the amount
of water pouring over the dam. This
and other data necessary to form
plans and est..sSaates for the dam are
now in his ha.ds, although he has not
returned the plans to the company's
officers in this city, as yet.
1t is believed that the lake will ul
timately make a summer resort With
the big lake for boating and fishing
tho soJe of the lake front for cottages
will be an easy matter the officers OF
the association affirm.
The construction of the dam wher
plans and estimates are accepted and
the contract awarded will not rekuire
very long time it is believed and il
is hoped to have the lake constructed
by fall

FIRE CAUSES BIG
DAMAGE TO FARMER
Loss Is Estimated at About
SIP, 2,OOO.-Origin Is Not
Known.

Fire of an unknown origin destroyed
the large barn of John Hostettor at an
early hour this morning causing a loss
of over $4,000 with but little insur-
ance., The Hostettor farm Is immedi-
ately south of The Wernle Orphans
Home. The fire destroyed a large
amount of hay, and all farm imple-
ments. The FIRE had gained such head
way when discovered that it was i'm
possible to save anything. The horses
and livestock had been turned out of
the barn the night before.
Early this morning as Hostettor was
going to his barn, flames suddenly
shot out from the hay NOW in all di.
rections, enveloping the barn in a
mass of flames and smoke This was
the first indication of fire. but the
spontaniety of the combustion was so
complete, that it was impossible to
save anything. There were more than
thirty tons of this seasons hay stored
in the NOV, the last having been
moved away yesterday afternoon
There was also a large quantity OF
corn and over sixty bushels of oats A
binder, two corn plows, two drills and
a complete set of tools were destroyed
1t is thought that the loss on the con
tents of the barn alone will amount
to more than $4,000. The insurance
will amount to about two thousand
dollars.
The origin of the fire is not known
Mr.. Hostettor stated that from the
way it started and manner in which II
gained headway, was evidently caused
by spontaneous combustion in the new
hay.

living short distance west of Foun-
tain City, who disappeared last We'd
nesday night, is now being sought for
by representatives of banking associa-
ltions, Druley having become involved
with several banks, business firms and
individuals to the amount of about
SSH. Forged notes accounts for the
major portion of the defalcations. Dru-
ley forged the names of his wife's
grandfather, William Toney, his own
father, Edward Druley.
Druley, known to have been a man
of model habits, neither drinking
smoking, chewing or gambling, owns
IA forty acre farm west of Fountain
City. He became heavily in debt, just
how no one seems to know, and then
began his series of note forging. Some
of his forgeries extend back quite a
period of time. He had no difficulty in
securing loans owing to the excellent
standing OF himself and his family
What the young man did with his mon
ey is a mystery. So far as known he
did not speculate. =.
Last week President Lewis of the
williamsburg bank, in conversation
with Lynn man discovered that Dru-
ley had note in the Lynn bank.
Lewis made quiet investigation, ind-
ing that Druley's notes were also be-
ing held by other banks. He notified

seen since. He leaves a wife and three
small children.
Hunt Missing Man.
Mr. Lewis Immediately got in touch
with the holders of the various notes
given by Druley, and the amount OF
the farmers forgeries at once became
known. Bankers associations are on
the trail of the missing man.
What Druley did with the money is
the question bothering the authorities
According to local banker Emmett
.Druley's father, Edward Druley, the
grandfather of Druley's wife, William
Toney and the father of Mrs. Druley
Andrew Toney. have refused to meet
the missing mans indebtedness
The wife is reported to have agreed
to the sale of the farm of 40 acres
and all the personal property of the
