A. N. & S. Changes Ownership

Robert Abeles Of st. Louis highest
bidder for the south end of the Atlantic
Northern 81 Southern railroad, from
Atlantic to Villisca, received q deed
Saturday afternoon for the south end
of the road at the hearing held in the
Cass county district court by Judge
Arthur.
A hitch in the proceedings came when
the court contended that the Abeles
and Taussig bid of sos, 900 was supposed
to extinguish the claims of Shugart and
Barnes, the Abeles and Taussig claim
and the Kimballton Construction com
pany claim, the three claims totaling
about $175. 900.
Attorney Reed and Attorney Miller
argued that the bid was not supposed
to do so.
Judge Arthur stated that he would
not give them deed unless these three
claims were extinguished, and there the
matter rested until late in the after
noon when the contention was conceded
by the attorneys.
Other matters of contention also
came up for argument. but were settled
as dictated by the judge and the south
end OF the road began operations Sunday
under the new management. The de-
cision of the court makes the south end
cost Abeles and Taussig about 1915, 900
The $25, 900 required for the continued
operation of the north end of the road
has been raised, and the first mortgage
bond holders who were the successful
bidders for the north end appeared by
Attorney T. b. Swan and asked the
court TO postpone the matter of giving
them deed until Sept /, as it will take
till then to get the authority to operate
with the new company and that it be
operated under the present receiver,
Attorney w. A. Follett, until that
time. The request was granted by
the court

The Epworth League Picnic

About sixty of the young people of
the Epworth League of the M. f..
church journeyed to what Is known as
the Stanley Grove Thursday evening. 5
miles south of Audubon. to have what
all can testify TO now, "a real time. !"
For real time IL was.
Most of the young people rode in big
hay racks furnished by Ceronek and
Spencer. A jollier crowd you never
saw. When about miles from town
the picnic began. A tire ON one OF the
hind wheels came off. 1t was replaced
and wired on without difficulty and the
journey continued. Finally the front
tire gave trouble and several of the men
folks alighted from the rack to replace
the tire. Several of the boys gave a
war whoop and cut a few tandems
which frightened the team causing
them to run at 2:40 gait up the big
brave az they were began to look for
an easy landing place. The team was
stopped, none were injured but few
frightened. Ii took less time TO unload
than 1t takes TO empty school room in
time of fire drill. The entire company
walked up the hill and after the break
down had been fixed all boarded the
hay rack again for the picnicing
grounds. When within a half mile of
the coveted place, campfires were
cleaning in the distance. Several of
the members had gone earlier in the
evening and selected fine spot for the
spread.
Upon their arrival, all made haste to
partake OF the sumptuous supper that
had been prepared and taken ont in
baskets. And such goodies you never
dreamed of After supper was over.
games of various kinds were played and
enjoyed to its fullest extent.
The homeward trip was equally as
interesting as the trip ont. In fact
none were as anxious to go home as
they were to reach the picnicing
grounds and consequently many did
not reach town until after 1 100 o'clock.
Songs were sung and the quiet evening
air carried the music to the ears of
many of the residents along the road.
No one who heard them could feel
otherwise than that young America
was fully approaching the richness of
Gods out Of doors.
The League is furnishing its young
people plenty of wholesome and innocent
entertainment. The members are
showing keen interest In league work
and when the warm weather is over
new and increased interest will be
manifested by every Epworthian.

cosson Law Held Void

The law passed by the Iowa legisla-
ture several years ago forbidding the
segregation of immoral houses in cities
of Iowa, better known as the Cosson
red light law" was declared uncon-
stitutional by District Judge Hugh
Bremen at Des Moines Saturday. In
doing so the court sustained demurrer
in the case of Mrs. Maurice Lynch,
fled by her attorneys to an application
to an injunction brought under the
Cosson law to close her home.
Attorneys for Mrs. Lynch attacked
the validity of the law on the ground
that the speaker of the house failed to
attach his signature TO the enrolled
bill; that the law permits the confisca-
ton of property without due process of
law and jury trial; that it is possible
to convict upon mere hearsay evidence
and that the law seeks to make things
nuisances which are not nuisances in
themselves.
The .Cosson law was drawn by At
torney General George Cosson, who an
nounces that the case will be appealed.
If the decision of the lower court is
sustained every city in the state Will
be affected.

Iowsns Enjoying Western Country

That Iowa at present is enjoying one
of the most prosperous periods of its
history is being demonstrated in a most
forcible manner in Colorado Springs,
where travellers from every part of the
world gather for several months each
year. Cosmopolitans soon learn to
Judge state or nation by its people
they meet abroad, and Iowans are max
ing an impression on these cosmopolitans.
On every street and drive in and
about Colorado Springs, automobiles
carrying the big remnants and banners
of Iowa are constantly seen, and the
traveller who takes his automobile with
him is usually considered by people of
the Pixies Peak region ms being sue
cessful man in prosperous community.
Everywhere in the region are Iowans,
all enjoying themselves TO marked
degree.

Money Found And Returned

Last week a travelling salesman
stopped at the Park hotel for the night.
The next morning he went to breakfast
and as soon as he reached the dining
room he thought of his pocket book
containing $25 which he had left under
his pillow. Upon reaching the room
he had occupied for the night he found
the chafnbermaid cleaning up the room.
The knight of the grip asked her If she
had found pocket book under the
pillow? She said she had not, and upon
being closer pressed still protested her
innocense. The travelling man was
positive that he had put his money
under the pillow and refused to believe
the girl. However, he was powerless
to do anything and left his name and
address with the proprietor, M. I'll.
Conner, and asked him to Investigate
the matter further. Mrs Conner kept
a watchful eye over the girl and the
next day found she had spent great
deal of money in the purchase of new
clothing. Later she found a $40 bill
hidden under rug and with this in
formation at hand. kept questioning
the girl until Saturday noon when she
finally confessed 10 taking the money.
She had something like $23 which she
tnrned over to Mr.. Conner who in turn
handed it to the sheriff to be returned
to the travelling man. The girl was
dismissed and she left at once for Des
Moines.
IL was an unfortunate occurrence for
Mr.. Conner. He was not responsible
for the theft. He Is conducting first
class hotel and does everything in his
power to make his hotel a pleasant place
to stop for the travelling public 1t is
fortunate for all concerned that the
matter has turned out the way it has.
We understand the girl will not be
prosecuted on promise not to return
to Audubon.

The new pumping outfit for the city
well was put on final test Monday
afternoon. Water from the new well
was pumped into the standpipe at the
rate of 200 gallons per minute. The
water was then run into large tank at
speed of the engine as before the pump
threw a stream of water averaging 225
gallons per minute. The difference be-
tween that pumped into the standpipe
and that into the tank was largely due
to the water being used by consumers.
1t seems to be no effort for the pump to
throw the water up hill. The test was
satisfactory in every detail. That
evening meeting of the city council
was held and the machinery was accept
ed from the contractors.

Saturday afternoon while the two
small children of Geo. McNary were
turning into the street where they for
merly lived, Just south OF the Advent
church, an automobile came up behind
the rig they were riding in and upset
it, throwing the occupants, George and
Fern into the ditch. They were driving
q blind horse, who though frightened,
remained standing still until onlookers
came to the rescue of the children The
buggy was damaged but the children
were not injured and escaped with only
a bad scare. This is the second ACCT
dent of the same nature that has taken
place within the past ten days. Auto
drivers will have to be more careful Ia
the future or the big stick will fall hard
ON the "wreckless' fellows.

ALL CARS CLEARED
FROM HELPER YARDS
Traffic Cleared by Holiday LuII
and the SWitehmen Unable
to Make Up a Train.

There were not sufficient cars in
the Helper yards of the Denver &
Rio Grande yesterday to make a
train. This is the first time in sew
eral years that the yards have been
clear and all traffic kept on the
move. The slackness OF work at the
coal mines Christmas day and on
Friday enabled the road to clear the
yards. This condition did not last
long, however, as the Helper yards
limits extend west to include the
branch of the Independent Coal &
Coke Company's works and before
night there we're $50 cars of coal
and coke in the yards, or enough
tonnage for seven trains.
The traffic out of the Helper
yards is said to be the heaviest OF
any coal shipping point in the west.
At present there are about 600 cars
of coal and coke handled in the yard
every day and when the new mines
which are being openined in the vi
cinity of Price, Castle Gate and 9TH
er points in Carbon and Emery
counties are in operation, 1t is ex-
pected that the Denver & Rio Grande
will have 1000 cars a day in the
Helper yards from the coal fields.
The yards were cleaned up yesterday
TO such an extent that filters" could
not be had even from the repair
tracks, which are always the standby
of the railroad men when there is no
loaded tonnage in sight.
The operating department of the
Rio Grande is pleased at the work
done in the mater OF handling the
tonnage over the mountains during
the recent snowstorms. The new
cutoff over Soldier Summit has
aided materially in the work, as fifty
cars are now placed on each train
over the divide.
