Where Did These Marbles Come
From?

J. E. Clark, of north of Decatur
City, brought to our Office Monday q
curiosity in the shape OF perfect
marble which was dug out of blue
clay taken from a we'll on the farm
which he recently purchased Of Gee.
w. Baker, at depth of 14O feet.
The we'll was being drilled by Ora
Eaton and Marion Dingman and they
had found pieces of wood at a depth
of about I2O feet. They struck
gravel and water at depth of $50
feet after going through clay for
many, feet. Mr.. Clarks little boy
while playing at the we'll noticed the
marble in piece of the clay as it
came up out of the we'll. and another
boy also found another one. The
marble is almost black in color and
shows plainly that it was rolled out
by hand. Now, where did this marble
come from and how did it get down
in the ground 40 feet. The well
was being drilled in ground where
there had been no previous we'll or
excavation, and may have been made
by a race of people which have dis
appeared. The marble can be seen
at The Reporter Office for few days
by any one who is interested in the
matter. ,...

accident when his team ran away

George Massey, when his team be-
came frightened and ran away near

HITCH RACKS ARE DECLARED
NUISANCE. @
Judge Wheeler Decides City Of Har-
Ian Cannot Maintain City
Hitch Racks.

And now on this 7th day of Janu-
ary, 1913 this cause comes on for
judgment and decree, the same hav-
ing been heretofore fully submitted
and taken under advisement, EdW.
S. White appearing for the plaintiff,
and Thomas H. Smith appearing for
the defendant, and it having been
agreed that judgment and decree
might be entered in vacation and the
court fully advised in the premises,
finds
!. That the erection, maintainancc
and use of hitch racks in question
and along the street in question
would seriously interfere with and
impede public travel over and along
said street and would materially OBJ
struct the usual and ordinary use OF
said street by the public. s
2. That such use of such street for
said purpose would materially inter-
fere with the plaintiffs use and en-
joyment of their respective properties
and would seriosly interfere with
their right Of access thereto and.
divert the use of said street to such
purpose under such circumstances.
3. That the city has no right to
divert the use of said street to such
purpose under such circumstances.
4. That the equities are with the
plaintiffs and that they are entitled
to the relief demanded. u
A perpetual injunction is granted.
The erection of hitch racks at said
point is declared to be nuisance
and if any have been erected they
are ordered to be removed. The
costs of the action amounting to
$40.45 are taxed to the city. Attor-
ney Smith for this city has filed
notice of appeal. The foregoing is
an opinion of Judge Wheeler, nearly
in full, containing al the essen
tial points in his decision in the
hitching rack case. The court holds
against the city declares the racks
so intended to be a nuisance and
lays a perpetual injunction. y
If Judge Wheeler's decision is to
be accepted as good law and to stand
as such, then it follows that no city
or town has the right 10 place hitch
ing racks upon it's streets, and that
those already in use can be ordered
removed as a nuisance. There las
hen a good deal of squabbiing in
fIoWa communities over this question
of hitching racks, but as far as We
are informed this is the first time
the issue has come squarely before
the courts. ~.
The decision is one that effects
every Iowa town.. The past council.
and the present council have heeD
lmrch criticised ~ the farmer ra-s
tronage for their failure to provide
suitable conveniences for taking care
of teams instead Of forcing them 10
60 to feed barns. This ruling is an
additional source Of embarrassment

Held Road Meeting.

The meeting of the township trus-
tees which was called by NJ. F.
Springer, of Center township, Was
quite we'll attended last Wednesday,
there being twelve townships repre-
sented at the meeting. Road mat
ters in general were discussed and
resolutions asking the board Of sup
ervisors to turn the road funds over
to the township boards to be spent
by them were adopted.
The following report of the meet
ing was furnished us by the secre-
tary:
Leon, Iowa, Feb. 12, 1913.
At meeting of the township
trustees, clerks and drag superin-
tendents and good roads men held at
the Supervisors Room in the court
house at Leon, Iowa, M. F. Springer
was elected chairman, J. w. Chew,
secretary.
The following petitions and reso-
lutions were adopted
We, the township trustees of De-
catur county, assembled, petition the
county board of supervisors not to
employ any county road foreman but
to turn all funds collected for road
purposes, including the automo"':e
fund, to the township from which it
was collected, said funds to be work.
ed out by the township road fore
man, under the supervision of the
township trustees and the county
board of supervisors, believing that
twice the work can be accomplished
with said funds and work be more
evenly distributed, benetitting every
taxpayer in the county. Heretofore
township trustees have been hamp-
cred for lack of funds, difficulty in
getting. competent road foreman
because there was not funds enough
to furnish steady employment, but
with all funds consolidated we could
get good men for road foremen.
Feeling that this is the desire of the
majority of the rural districts, and
has been for number of years.
End. Resolved that we commend
the county board of supervisors for
their actions in refusing to call the
township trustees together at an ex-
pense of about $4,000, when the
same money would grade ten miles
of road also that we condemn the
laws that require same.
3rd. That we ask our representa-
tive to vote for the bill compelling
all land owners to cut all weeds
along the public highway along their
farm.
4th. That the minutes of this
meeting be printed in the county
papers and a copy laid before the
county board of supervisors at their
next regular meeting.
Adjourned on motion.

r.. G. Brown Has Foot Amputated.

R. G.. Brown, a well known resi-
dent of Grand River, had his right
foot amputated Tuesday by Drs. n.
r. Layton and F.. A. Bowman, Of
Leon, assisted by Grand River ply
sicians. Last May Mr., Brown caught
his foot in a gasoline engine and it
was badly crushed, SO that he has
been compelled to walk on crutches
ever since. He came to Leon last
week and consulted physicians who
found that gangrene was developing
and the only thing to be done, was
to amputate his foot, which was done
above the ankle. He survived the
operation nicely although he is well
along in years, and it is thought he
will be relieved Of much suffering.
