PRI1CHARD SUES
 S2,33O OF LEGACY
ASKS COURT TO RETURN MONEY TAKEN FROM HIM BY CONSTR.
 BILE LANKFoRD ON ARREST.
Constable Places the Money in Citi. zens Bank to Be Held Until Cues. ton of Ownership is Determined.

Although the criminal charge of grand larceny against him was not taken mp in justice court, as sched- uled yesterday, J. o. Pritchard took an additional step in the controversy that has grown over the legacy cf S2,330 he claims he received from his deceased wife, when he filed in cir cult court suit against Constable Joe Lankford for the return of the money to him.
 | Prltchard had the sum of cash in his hat band when he was arrest ed on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. J. U. r. Smith. a stepdaughter and Con 1 stable Lanklord took the money and placed it in the Citizens National Bank, where the official means that it shall be held until its ownership is properly determined
 It was stated yesterday that MT. Prtchard was willing to effect com promise with other claimants of the legacy, but that the other side Was unwilling to make any effort to reach a compromise, so the case will prob ably go through the courts.
 Yesterday the charge of grand lar oeny that had been made against Pritchard was to have been called be- fore Justice Hardy Hinton. but At torney Cobb was unable to be pres ent and the case went over until next Monday afternoon at o'clock, when the charges will be thresh ed out
 J. O. Prtchard, in supporting his contention in the suit for s2,330 against Constable Lankford, sets up in part the following:
 That Re is the husband of Emily Pritchad, who died on December 10, and that they were lawfully married ten years before, and lived together up to the time of her death.
 That about the certain date to be filled later Emily Pritchard made a will, which was written by A. ] Mar phy, attorney at law, and which by tenor and purport devised all the personal and real property of which she might die seized and possessed. to Pritchard, except one dollar each to each child of a former marriage, and that each child was specifically named in the will.
 That at the time of making said will and for the purpose of prevent ing said children from interfering with the plaintiffs right she sold real os- kept cash near her during the remain de of her life; and that she sold said real estate so that she could give the property in money to this plain tiff, and prevent litigation after her death.
 Pritchard sets forth further that on the 9th day Of December she took the money and placed it in his hands. and told him that she knew she would soon be dead, and the 2330 was his, every dollar of it, and instructed him to spend $50 for her burial expenses
 He states that this he did, and that after the burial he was arrested by said constable on a warrant issued by Mrs. J U. P. smith, and that Fe had the money on his person, and that the officer took the money and deposited it in the Citizens National Bank to the credit of Joe Landlord, constable.

LOSE THEIR LIVES!
Earl Burton and Frank Sametz 0v-
ercome With Gas While Con-
Meeting Main in Ditch.

Earl Burton and Frank Sametz
were very nearly overcome by gas
this afternoon about two o'clock,
while connecting the gas main on
the north side of the new high
school building. In fact it is not yet
known whether both of them will
recover. They had been working in
a deep trench for about twenty min
utes and the third man who was
working with them, foreigner, was
up on the surface Of the ground. He
evidently did not know what was
the trouble when they didn't talk
for he did not go for assistance. H.
B. Hummel happened along just at
this time and, seeing the danger,
went Immediately for help. Drs. Dy-
sart, Wyatt and Hannah were called
and were still working over the vic
tins at the time of going to press.
Mr.. Burton is plumber in the
employ of l.. V. Mills while Mr..
Sametz is in the employ Of the gas

Thief Gets Little,Proprietor Finds
One Tray Of Bracelets
is Missing.

The Oleson jewelry store was en-
tered last night by burglar or
burglars, who did not succeed in do
ing much damage or securing many
articles of value So far Mr.. Oleson
has discovered only one, tray of
bracelets missing. The safe which
contained the most valuable portion
of the stock was not broken open.
+. The burglar entered the building
by cutting out two lights of win
dow in the small room back of the
store. There is another window in
this room by which he succeeded in
entering the front room. A hole was
cut in the glass, enabling the burg
lar to reach the catch and thus
raise the window.

A Patriotic Window.

That Harry S. Nye is becoming a
nifty window decorator there is no
doubt. Those who are in any doubt
about it should look at the appro-
pirate window in the August F..
Mueller hardware store. A very fine
picture of George Washington occu-
pies the center of the window, be-
hind which is lattice work of red,
white and blue crepe paper. The
hatchets which fairly line the floor
and sides of the window are, we pre-
sumo, just as good or better than
those young George used when he
cut down the cherry tree. Small
flags in abundance are used in the
window making it very bright and
attractive and the only thing one
could possibly add to improve it
would be the real cherry tree itself.

THE CONGREGATION
AL BUILDING Project
Committee Appointed at Annual
Meeting Makes Report-Ad-
journ for Two Weeks.

The committee appointed at the
annual meeting of the Congrega-
tional church to investigate the
building project to give the society
more room for Sunday school pur.
poses, etc., made their report at a
business meeting of the church last
evening. The plans considered by
the committee were classed under
four heads--sugges for remod-
cling the present church building
suggestions for a separate Sunday
school building, or parish house;
suggestions for the Sunday school
part of a new church, the Sunday
school. portion only to be built al
this time; suggestions for "a complete
new church building to replace the
present edifice.
The committee has given the pro-
ject much thought and entered into
quite discussion of each of these
four suggestions. However, in con-
clusion the committee said the idea
of new church was the one which
appealed most strongly to them and
was the only one of the four plans
discussed to which they were willing
at this time to lend their encourage
ment. This conclusion was reached
after a thorough investigation of
the repairs needed on the old build
ing, the cost of new additions to en-
large the present structure, etc.
The meeting accepted the report
of the committee and later it was vot-
ed to do away with the second sug-
gestion of the committee, the cree
ton of separate Sunday school
building. The other suggestions
were discussed by different members
of the committee and others present
and it was finally voted to adjourn
the meeting for two weeks from last
evening before any definite action
should be taken.
The committee making the report
was made up of H. l.. Hampton, c. e.
Atkinson, Geo. S. Lane, Mrs. l.. A.
McMurray, Mrs. Alexander Groves,
the report being read by the chair
man, Mr.. Hampton.

Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. N. Beck. propri-

delightful little hostess Saturday af-

tanned a dozen of her small girl

at $500. The others were all sold
to horsemen from away.
After the mares came the stations
nine in all. They brought prices
up to 1925, the average being about
s544. The 1925 stallion was also
sold to Matern, Wesley, this state,
and is the imported Goadby Duke
1926. This stallion has been at the
head of the Edgewood stud for four
years and Mr.. Huddlestun said that
if he were still intending to stay in
the business 1t would take long
price to tempt him to let this fine
animal go. He is considered by the
Pioneer stud farm to be one of the
best horses they ever imported The
total of the prices brought at the
sale was s12,940.
AS those who read the catalogue
gotten out by Mr.. Huddlestun will
see, this offering of his best stock
will be the last. as he intends retir-
ing from the business on account Of
poor health. Mr.. Huddlestun says
ut has been my highest ambition to
have one of the best studs in this
great state of Iowa: and in making
this offering of my entire stock no
man will ever know what it means
to me, for it has become part Of
my life"
The glee club again favored the
audience with some fine selections
and the hundreds of people who at
tended this last exhibition of fine
stock at Edgewood farm departed,
declaring 1t to be the greatest sale
of fancy horses that Webster City
people had ever known, and those
who failed TO avail themselves of
this opportunity have missed one of
the greatest events in the history of
fine horse sales.

An Impression.

Ellsworth News: There is an in
cident of minor Importance that oc-
Cured during the absence of Mrs.
Falstaff and we forgot to mention
it. A load of coal was dumped into
the coal room in the basement and
II there was ton of coal in the
load. we'd be safe in guessing there
wasn't over 400 pounds OF 1T left in
the coal room. We have a habit of
thinking that where there is spot
left for an opening, it should be left
open, consequently every door in the
house from cellar to garnet was open
while that load OF coal was being
unloaded. Well, we want to say
that we're mighty glad that we
didn't have company before Mrs.
Falstaff got home, because there
wasn't piece of furniture in the
house that wasn't in mourning. An
other sad part of the story is, we sat
down ON several OF the chairs before
we knew what the consequence
would be and then when we went to
the hay that night we sat down on
the edge of the bed to unite our hose
supporters. We got up to pull the
nails out of our suspenders and
turned around. For years, We have
wondered whether or not our form
was good--from the waist line
down-and when we turned around
we saw perfect impression of what
we look like to person north Of us
as we are going south. Mrs. Fal-
staff has not slept--and neither
have we--since she got home, be-
cause she's been busy cleaning
house.
