The Key To The Maine" Mystery
The strip of metal which proved
to be the key to the mystery of the
destruction Of the U. S. Battleship
maine" is shown in two illustra-
tons in the February Popular
Mechanics Magazine. An article
states:
with the identification Of the
strip as a bottom plate, between
frames % and 81, the position of
the mine was fixed as under the bot
tom, q little to port, and between the
frames named.
"The conslusion of the board that
a Low form of explosive was used
mesnes that a mine, not torpedo,
was the instrument used. Atorpedo
always contains a high-power ex-
plosive, such as nitroglycerin or
similar compound. Black powder, a
low explosive, is used on the other
hand, in mines. That a low explo-
sive was used the board concluded
from the nature of the sides of the
cash. where this strip vas blown in
ward. Had it been a high explosive,
the bottom would have been pune
tured neatly, instead of being torn.
The difference is the same as that in
the case of a rife bullet penetrating
a pane of glass, making cIean-cut
hole, and an apple hurled by a boy
at the same piece of glass, which
would result in jagged, irregular
cash, or rupture"

1912, Mr.. L. E. Mahan.
Mr.. Mahan was about so years old
and had been sufferer for more than
two years from Bright's disease, and
while his demise is sad indeed, yet il
was not wholly unexpected, inasmuch
as he and his loved ones recognized
that so firm hold had Bright's dis

Kansas City, and perhaps through his
direct efforts the Alton handled and
shipped more live stock from the

Some five years ago he resigned his
position with the railroad company
and moved to Kansas City, where he
has resided up to the time Of his
death, having previously bought what
is known as the Maston ranch, one

lethargy and show ourselves that we
can do things quickly and well and
with united action.
Lon Randall Will Help.
A. D. Randall, proprietor OF the
Economy meat market, promises very
substantial aid for the cemetery walk
project. He has generously offered to
build, at his own expense, a strong and
attractive rustic arch over the road
way running to his slaughter house.
This would give just the needed touch
to make the walk attractive and it
will obviate the otherwise heavy ex-
pense of grading up the South Sweet
street hill. Mr.. Randall proposes to
do a mighty generous thing and with
his help and those of the property
holders there should be no difficulty
in pushing the enterprise to a rapid
completion.

STANDARD OIL
TANKS CLOSED
The Boys Has Writ Of Attachment
Served on the Standard Oil Conn.,
pany Plant at Denison.
THEY FILED 5000 DAMAGE SUIT
Plan to Get Big Corporation Into the
State Court to Defend Suit for
Selling Alleged Bad OIL.

The Denison firm of Pfarr, Gebert
Hunt has started out to bring the
Standard Oil company to it's way ol
thinking, as to the company's liability
ior selling oil which had sufficient
gasoline in it to cause deadly ex
plosion. The Denison boys thus far
have won the first move, by getting
the company to appear in the state
courts to defend an action against it
for $4,000 damages
Many will recall that for some time
The Boys ran branch store at Pisgah
also that their agent received from the
Standard Oil company at Sioux City
la barrel of oil, and that part of the
contents when sold proved so explos-
i've that a mother and some of her
children were killed. The husband
brought suit in the courts of Harrison
county and in time obtained verdict
against The Boys for something over
$500. The Boys stood all the ex-
penses and the damage to business.
Now demand is made on the Standard
Oil company to pay $4,000 as some
compensation to the merchants.
The Standard Oil company has al
ways refused to recognize the claim
of The Boys. 1t paid the husband and
surviving children $4,000 without suit.
Being an Indiana corporation it would
naturally have to be sued in the fed
eral courts. To get around this The
Boys made the claim little less than
$4,000 and issued a writ of attach
ment on the property of the company
at Denison. The plant here was thus
tied up all day last Saturday. The
news of the situation soon went to
Des Moines and Monday an attorney
of the oil company came here. He
put up bond for $4,000 to have the
attachment released, and will. appear
to defend the suit in the district court
in Crawford county. The oil COM
pany can then move to remove to the
federal court and many other things

mortal Day-Waik Would be
a Great Convenience.

VIM. Alberts, T. Bell and G.. S. Ran
dali and other residents of South
Sweet street have expressed their
willingness to cooperate with the city
and with the cemetery association in
building good walk from the Heiden
corner, south of the Northwestern
tracks, to the cemetery. This is a
much needed improvement. At pres
ent there is but one small stretch of
sidewalk. The gentlemen mentioned
are ready to lay walks in front Of their
residences and this will be large
reduction in the expense. We believe
the city should take the matter up at
once. 1t would not be practical to fix
a grade on a level with the roadway,
but good walks could be built follow
ing the lines of the present foot paths.

way would be but an added attraction
to the pretty walk and the views OF
Denison, the quiet shade of the river,
would make this one of the most pleas
ant walks about the city.
Many times during the year good
walk to the cemetery is almost a ne
cessity. On Memorial day, on lodge
memorial days and on other occasions
when organizations wish to go to the
cemetery in a body a good sidewalk
would increase the attendance and
avoid a muddy or dusty walk. We
believe that every lodge in town could
afford small appropriation for this
purpose and that they would soon save
the outlay in livery bills. 1t would be
a great convenience for those who
wish to visit the city of the dead, and
would add greatly to the interest in
maintaining and beautifying the Gem
etery 1t would doubtless add to the
value of all property on the south
side and would have q tendency to in
crease the city mail delivery limits
in that direction when the population
warranted.
Along the heights to the south are

full building sites in the city, and the

Rev. c. E. LaReau rendered his

day morning. He has been with the
church Of Denison for number Of
years and during this period there
has been every evidence of temporal
prosperity Extensive Improvements
have been made to the church build
ing, both inside and out, and the
finances have been in such a condi-
ton that no appeals have been made
to the public.
While there has been consideration
of presenting petition signed by the
members, asking the pastor to with
draw his resignation, Rev. LaReau
authorizes the statement that he has
definitely decided to transfer his work
to another charge. He has been for
a number of years president of the
district association of Baptist churches
of this part of Iowa, and has been
most active in maintaining this de-
nomination in Iowa. During his pas
torate fully fifty members have been
added to the church, and he is leaving
Denison with the feeling that his stay
has been most beneficial to the local
society.
