CARMODY SENTENCED
FOR THEFT IN HOTEL,

Only one case and that a continued
one took up the attention of Judge
Frank L.~Wilder In city court this
morning, Arthur Carrfody of Broad
street being arraigned on a charge of
theft in connection with the recent
robbing of the Arcade hotels money
drawer. The sentence imposed last
March, 81 and costs and 80 days, was
ordered put into. operation and an
additional sentence of two months in
Jail with a fine of SIS and costs i'm
posed. His relatives apparently had
given him up as they were not in evil
dence nor did they attempt to save
him this time. 7dsFsssS E4EN
An interesting detail in connection
with the case was that, when ar
raigned in March on a theft charge,
Attorney John P. Gray defended him
and relatives appeared in behalf. This
morning it was Attorney John P.
Gray who appeared in the role of
prosecutor and no one appeared in
Carmody's behalf.

charge of assaulting Mrs. r. A. Rog-
ers. The parties live in adjoining

some old lumber which Taylor had
used in fixing up his house which was
claimed by Mrs. Rogers, and after a
war of words Taylor finally struck
Mrs. Rogers in the face, knocking
her down and it is claimed he kicked
her after she had fallen. He was ar
rested and taken before Mayor r. G.

and by agreement. was permitted to
plead guilty to simple assault and
take a sentence of thirty days in the
county Jail at hard labor, and sheriff

new PUMP INSTALLED
Air Pressure Pump fer Deep Well
Started tuesday and the Water
Troubles are Now Over.

The new air pressure pump at the
water works station was installed
the past week and was started pump
ing Tuesday and the new system has
delighted everyone who has watched
it forcing the water from the bottom
OF the deep we'll. And so satisfactory
did the new pump work that within
few minutes after the pump was
started the city water was turned on,
as there was no fear that the new
pump would not meet every require
ment
The new pump was installed under
the supervision of Mr.. F. G. Crockett,
an expert from the factory and he
surely understands his business, for
everything connected with the install
lation work moved off like clockWork.
BY actual measurement the pump is
now pumping 81 gallons'of water per
minute, which is the present capacity
of the we'll, not of the pump, but Mr..
Crockett tells us that this will be in
creased gradually as the pump is OPP
Grated as the crevices in the we'll
had become partly clogged up, but
the new pump will clean these out
and after a time he says the well will
furnish 100 gallons minute. He
has had much experience with deep
wells and says we have g fine supply
of water which should prove ample
for all the requirements OF the city
for years to come.
And the beauty of the whole thing
is that all of the machinery is locat-
ed up on top of the ground where it
can be watched and Kept in repair,
although there is very little to get
out of repair. There is no pump in
the we'll at all, the water being fore
ed to the surface by means OF COM.
pressed air. The air is confined in
a compressor tank on top of the
ground which is pumped up to $50.
pounds pressure by compressor en-
gine operated by an electric motor.
The compressed air is carried to the,
bottom of the we'll and the force of;
the air is sufficient to raise the water
to the top of the we'll where it flows
into the supply reservoir, and is then.
pumped into the tank, this pump be-
ing operated by an electric motor.
The city council did a wise thing
when they decided to install the air
pressure system to replace the old
direct plunger pump. 1t means that
our pumping troubles are at an end,
and from now on the users of city
water will have ample service all the
time.

was refreshing newness which

Decatur City Is Taking Paving.

We understand that Decatur City
is agitating paving part of that
enterprising little town. And why
not? They have one of the best lit
tie towns in Iowa, her citizens are
prosperous and want to enjoy the
up-to-date conveniences of modern
towns. They have electric lights
and they want paving. To be sure
paving would cost some money, but
everything good nowadays costs
money. The paving boosters are in
dead earnest about the matter and
we hope they will succeed in pushing
the project through. Inside of very
few years you will see good sub
stantial paved road connecting Deca-
tur City with Leon, and to do paving
now in Decatur City, would make
this project a certainty when the
states system of permanent high
ways is in operation.

Alva Cox Bound Over on Burglary
Charge.

On Wednesday morning of last
week about 4 o'clock, fire was discoy-
cred in Clarence Henderson's res
taurant at Davis City, and it was OW-
ing to peculiar circumstances that a
big fire was averted. The restaurant
and barber shop had been burglariz-
ed and an attempt made to burn
the building by saturating the inter-
ior of the room with coal oil. The
blaze however soon reached some fire
crackers on a shelf and these eXplod-
ing awakened Mary Teale, daughter
of Art Teale, in the hotel adjoining
the restaurant and prompt work on
the part of Davis City citizens soon
had the fire under control. 1t was
found that about SIS worth of goods
had been stolen, consisting of razors,
homes, shears and several boxes OF
cigars. An investigation disclosed
fresh buggy tracks in front OF the
restaurant and the shoe of one OF the
horses was found to be peculiarly
marked so that it was easy to track.
Parties followed the track out on the
Davis City and Leon road to the four
corners, where the track went east
and it was traced easily to the road
which came in to Leon from the
south and on in to Leon. The parties
after reaching Leon went to the llv-
cry barns and located team at Char
ley Hatfield's barn which had been
driven in about o'clock that morn
ing and the peculiar shoe which they
had been tracking was found on one
of the horses. The team had been
secured the previous evening about
10 o'clock by Alva Cox, a barber of
Leon, who returned with it that
morning.
An information was filed charging
Cox with burglary and he was arrest
ed, his preliminary trial being set
for Tuesday of this week, Mr.. Cox
retained C. w. Hoffman to defend
him and a change of venue was TAX
en- from Justice A. R. Warford to
Justice j. j. Walls. The state repre-
sented evidence showing that on
Monday night Arthur Cox had pur
chased a new three gallon oil can
and had it filled at Bradfeld's groc-
cry. A search warrant was issued
and Cox's home searched for the
stolen goods, but none were found,
but the oil can was found empty. The
buggy used by Alva Cox was saturat-
ed With oil, as was also the robe.
After the state had introduced this
evidence the defense waived the in
PRODUCTION of any evidence and Alva
Cox was bound over to the grand
jury under bonds of $125O which he
gave.

LEON TO HAVE A PARK
Mrs. J. W. Harvey Will Present the
City a Valuable Tract OF Land
to be Used for a City Park.

After years of waiting and talk of
how Leon was going to secure a city
park, the problem has been solved
through the generosity Of Mrs. ]. w,
Harvey, who on Monday closed a
contract for the purchase of the tract
of ground comprising about two
acres fronting on south Main street,
known as the old Lunbeck property,
which was owned by C. NJ. Axes, the
residence now being occupied by E.
Housh, and Mrs. Harvey has an
nounced her intention of presenting
the property when she secures title
to same on March /, 1914, to the city
of Leon for public park.
Mr.. c. M. Axes when he learned
of Mrs. Harvey's intention to buy the
property for city park made a very
liberal price on the property, selling
it for $4,000, and reserving the
buildings which stand on the proper
ty, he to remove them
Of course the preliminary arrange
ments as to the acceptance and
maintenance of the park by the city
council or park organization are
yet to be arranged, but the news is
too good to keep from the public,
and we feel sure that the city cOun-
Gil with the approval of all the citi-
zens of Leon will accept the generous
offer of Mrs. Harvey and make pro-
vision by a small park tax levy to
take care of and improve the proper
ty.
. For years we have been talking of
a city park, and it seems almost too
good to be true that Mrs. Harvey
has come forward and solved the
question by presenting the city with
valuable property for park purposes.
The tract of ground is two blocks
long in addition to the sixty foot
street, making the size of the tract
1SOx492 feet. The location is an
ideal one, right on Main street, with
in easy access to the depot, and the
property can be converted into an
ideal little city park, a place where
all the people of Leon can go and
enjoy themselves.
OF course it is early to suggest a
name for the park, but we believe
the park should be named either the
Harvey park or the John w. Harvey
park, in memory of the late Judge
John w. Harvey, who did as much or
more for the betterment of Leon
than any person who ever resided in
Leon. 1t would be a fitting tribute to
his memory to name the park after
him. Ii
