ing Plaintiff c. c. Gilman. for the
amount of the claim and costs, S2.4405
The company now has year to re-
deem, failing in which the property
passes irrevocably into private hands.
1t is understood Mr.. Gilman had, prev
ious to the decree, purchased major
ity of the stock to make himself safe
in any event, and that his interest now
amounts to some $4,000 or $4,000. so 1t
is altogether unlikely that any scheme
for reorganization among old stock
holders can be patched up"

the performance in its next publica-
ton the Times-Republican said: There
was not a lady in the house. and as
fast as familiar faces app cared in the
aisles the crowd would applaud vigor-
ously, much to the discomfort of all
newcomers. The performance was
declared not to be nearly as bad as the
audience had expected. "Suggestive
gags by the end men crossed the line
of decency occasionally, but the ana
ton1ical display vas no worse and no
better than the staid and respectable
ballet"
THE Marshalltown man who got up
at daylight to struggle with the furnace
fire found the mercury outside point
ing to the severe mark of 10 above

ary- in Iowa, but the beautiful sleighing,
crisp air. and bright sunshine make
some amends for Iowa's arctic climate.

North Center street was ver:table
boulevard yesterday. and presented an
animated scene nearly all day. DR..
Ward went to the pains OF scraping
the street. Ieveling and smoothing the
rough rlacez and making ii a fine
drive. In the afternoon, especially, the
street swarmed with people in elegant
turnouts. while many other people wit
messed the spirited driving. The oc-
casion seemed 20 be a regular free-for-
all race, and the time made by a num-
Der Of our best flyers was almost Won
derful. Ii was a gala day and enjoyed
to the fullest extent."-[Note: The
reader should not become confused and
think that the cid MarshalItown New
Years speedway Of Jan. l, 1889, served
the same purpose that the Indianapolis
speedway did on May 30, 1913, or the
Elgin. IL, speedway on July 4, 1918.
Possibly a clearer conception of the
purposes Of the North Center street
speedway Of quarter century ago
