Cement is one of the resources Sioux

growing out of all proportion to the

Ben Henderson.

Ellsworth News: Now while you
are mentioning it, Ben Henderson
happens to be one of the live wires
of Hamilton county and Of ELS
worth
Some people claim Ben is tight
wad. but after you get acquainted
with him you find that the cause Of
that is rheumatism of the pocket
book.
He is one Of the pioneer settlers
of Hamilton county and located
down in Scott township a long time
before some of we upstairs had even
started to make a living for orr
selves.
Just because Ben occasionally has
bit of hay seed in his hair is no
sign he was born in a hay nov or
a Manager. He was born over in
Norway long time before Abraham
Lincoln thought of setting the slaves
free and has passed his 55th birth
day.
He also has it on the above men
| toned Lincoln on account Of the fact
that he lived in two different log
houses and received part of his
early education in the corn fields OF
Story county, where he located at a
stage of the game that he didn't
know any more than a few of hi:
schoolmates.
Ben was a school director nearly
all of the thirty years that he spent
on the farm and he didn't have hi:

Ellsworth before they grabbed hin
and put him on the board here.
Besides being a member OF tn

MANAGER w. B. Kearns.

Ellsworth News: Nearly every
one that smokes cigars or plays bill
lizards, knows Will Kearns of Web
ster City. And Bill wouldn't worry
if they didn't.
He runs a wholesale and retail CT"
gar business and pool hall at TOT
Des Moines avenue, and the place be-
came so popular when he went into
business twelve years ago that they
fastened the big Wilson hotel to his
building. Fact of the matter is, the
buildings have grown together as
well as the business.
Bill has been tickled almost to
death on great many OCCASIONS
but the two different times that he
will always keep fresh in his memory
are: first when Miss Anna Stafford
promised to chaperone him through
life. as acting partner, and second
when the Webster City White SoX
won better than seventy-tiVe pei
cent of the games they played this
season-and Bill was the manager.
He has been very successful in
business affairs and would undoubt'
eddy retire except for the fact tina;
his clerk, Nate Eckstein, would bl
out OF Il position and Mr.. kearEs Is
l. BOD = hat 10 n
stand to see Nate suffering for pc
sition.
Mr.. Kearns is a republican, be
longs to the Elks, Modern Woodmal
and Ladies Aid society, besides TIVE
or three dancing and outing clubs
The writer has forgotten whethe
he is dramatist or a comedian II
theater circles, but he is always cali
ed upon to take part in theatrical
staged locally, and herolnes, star
and chorus girls love him bette
than brother.
He has never been heard to say il
but mind reader once said tina

tomobile but will as soon as oI

A man who said his name was Peter

avenue and the canal bridge last even
ing.
The ambulance was summoned and
when the police arrived they found
what was apparently badly injured
man. The man was unconscious and
there seemed little doubt that he had
suffered a fracture of the skull
He was tenderly gathered up and
conveyed to DIR. Schlieker's office. The
physician looked the patient over and
discovered that he was absolutely I'M
injured. The man was simply dead
drunk, peacefully sleeping.
When he awoke not long after. the
tender stuff havin gbeen dispensed
with to a certain extent he began to
call the officers names. You're lot
of dog catchers.' he informed Sergeant
Weifenbach sure" replied the SER
geant, I'VE caught you, didn't we?'
This sally. however. failed to perco-
late and the man continued to abuse
the department
1t seems Bate was headed for Joyce S
hotel When he approached IL, he fall
ed to take into consideration the fact
that the car was going at Eull speed
and walked off.

to nullify judgments if they can prove
that their earthly possessions amount
to less than 5000 in value. The bill
provides that creditor. upon appliea-

obtain judgment and collect 10 per cent
of the debtors wages or income until

NO CLUES
OBTAINED TO
MURDERER

No arrests have yet been made in
connection with the murder which oc-
Cured night before last at Indiana
Harbor, when John Mackrish, a mill
man was killed by Roumanian, whose
identity has not yet been learned.
Sergeant Billy Hughes has an import
ant clew however, which Officer John
Lazar is following up, and an arrest
is looked for soon, which it is expected
will mean much to the unravelling of
the case
In the mean time the three Rouman-
ians who were with the murdered man
at the time of the shooting, and who
were arrested as witnesses. are still
held two of them John Dobra and Mike
Dana being held under $500 bons each,
while John Broia, whom the police
fear to release as they do not know
him so well as the other two men, is
still in jail.
Some one started a report that had
the police gone down the alley near
which the shooting occurred, after
their arrival on the scene. they might
have discovered the guilty man. as
some one was seen not long after. Turk
ing in the shadows there.
There may have been someone hid
ing there, said Sergeant Hughes
some time during the evening, but
there is no reason to believe he was
either of the men we are after. The
men who were with Mackrisn at the
time of the shooting in fact saw one
of the pair run down the alley eas'
into Hemlock street, and there turr
south, while the other escaped dowr
