Even in his college days at Columbian

showed this same thoroughness in what
ever he undertook; and when he was
graduated from the National University
of Washington, D. c.. with the degree
of LII. B. in 1907 and LII. NJ. in 1903, he
stood at the head of a large class, and
captured almost all the prizes awarded
for scholarship.
Naturally he holds thoroughness high
in his opinion as necessary to the ac-
complishment of anything worth while.
When asked what he considered the most
important qualification for advancement
in the government service he said:

LEON Will CELEBRATE
Ample Fuads Have Been Subscribed
and the Fourth of July will be
Celebrated 10 Royal Style.

Leon is going to celebrate the
Fourth of July, and when Leon does
celebrate, everybody knows she cele-
brates in style. 1t has been four
years since there was a celebration
at Leon, and the business men of the
city feel that it is up to them to cele-
ibrate this year. The matter has been
dragging along without any definite
announcement until committee cir
culated paper Tuesday evening and
yesterday and they announce they
will have ample funds to put on
real celebration, there being between
$500 and 5000 in sight and more is
to be raised.
1t is a well known fact that Leon
never does anything poorly and
especially has this city made repu-
tation of putting on good Fourth of
July celebrations whenever they
celebrate. The program of amuse-
ments has not yet been completed,
but it will be published in full next
week. You can set it down as set
tied that Leon will celebrate and
make your arrangements to come to
Leon on the Fourth if you want to
have the best time you ever had in
your life. 1t is expected that all the
new paving will be completed be-
fore the celebration.

Backed Over His Baby,

Relatives in this city have received
news of terrible auto accident which
occurred at Sapulpa, Okla, on Mon
day of last week, when the fourteen
months old son of Mr.. and Mrs. I. E.
Cornelius was fatally injured by be-
ing run over by an auto driven by
it's father. Mr.. Cornelius had been
playing with the little fellow and left
him on the porch of the house when
he went to his garage to get out
his car. Unseen by it's father the
baby had followed to the garage and
when Mr.. Cornelius backed the car
out of the garage the baby was run
over, its shoulder being broken, three
ribs broken and it's lungs crushed.
Three physicians and trained nurses
did everything in human power to
save the little life, but he died two
days after the accident The funeral
was the largest one ever held in
Sapulpa and the floral offerings were
very beautiful. Mr.. and Mrs. Cornell
ius were for several years residents
of Leon, she being daughter of the
late Jonathan Hamilton, and sis
ter of Mrs. Frank Lewis and Mrs.
Rolla Alexander They have many.
friends in this vicinity who extend
their sympathy to the bereaved par
enta.

WILL MOORE STABBED
Pleasanton Man Cut in a fioht Sat-
urday Night. Lawrence Graves
and Schuyler Holt in Jail.

There was a serious cutting scrape
at Pleasanton Saturday evening, and
as result Will Moore is confined to
his home suffering from several
knife cuts, and Schuyler Holt and his
brother-in-law, Lawrence Graves are
in the county Jail, held on the charge
of assault with intent to commit mur-
der.
Will Moore, who is employed at
Smith & Hagan's store, was starting
home, and near the store met Graves
and Holt, who were drinking. Some
words passed between them Graves
telling Moore he should be at home,
and Moore passed down the street,
but returned again in few minutes,
when Graves commenced talking to
him, and Moore claims he made a
movement as if to draw weapon,
when he promptly knocked Graves
down. At this time Holt took hand
and jumped on Moore, attacking him
with a knife and cutting a severe
cash across his right arm and also
making two cuts in his back. The
wound on the arm was quite deep,
but the cuts in his back are not so
serious. Drs. j. w. Wales and G. F..
Reed, of Davis City, were called to
attend Moore, and they found it nec-
essary to take several stitches in
dressing the wounds, but Mr.. Moore
is getting along very nicely and un-
less complications arise will soon be
around again.
County attorney Sharp and sheriff
Lorey went to Pleasanton Sunday and
an information was filed against Holt
and Graves charging them with as
sault with intent ito commit murder
They were brought to Leon and plac-;
ed in Jail, waving to the grand jury
and as yet have not given bond.
Graves, who started the trouble is.
a very peaceable fellow when sober,
but is inclined to be quarrelsomes
when drinking, and it is reported
that liquor was the cause OF the.
trouble Saturday night. 3

Regulation of Passing Vehicles on
the Public Highway.

Section 1869 of the code was
amended by chapter 131 of the acts
of the 35th general assembly to read
as follows:
Persons on horseback, or in We
hicles, including motor vehicles.
meeting each other on the public
highway, shall give one-half of the
beaten path thereof by turning to the
right Whenever person in any We
hicle shall approach from the rear
upon the public highway and desire
to pass, it shall be the duty of the
driver or operator of such vehicle
ahead to give one-half of the beaten
path thereof, upon proper signal or
request by turning to the right. The
vehicle approaching from the rear
shall turn to the left and shall not
return to such road or path within
less than thirty feet of the team or
vehicle which has been passed; pro-
vided, however, that such vehicle
need not give such right-Of-way
when it would jeopardize the safety
of the driver or operator to do SO.
Failure to comply with the above
shall be deemed misdemeanor and
punishable as SUCH"

I. Lost All Their Household Goods.

Lew Axes and wife lost everything
in the way of household goods and
clothing except what they were wear
ing last Saturday evening when their
home on the Byrum Stout farm "
miles southwest of Leon was destroy
ed by fire, the flames having made
such progress when discovered by
neighbors that nothing at all was
saved from the house. Mr.. Axes
and wife were in Leon at the time,
attending the band concert, The fire
is supposed to have started from a
defective flue. The house was owned
by Byrum Stout who had 5000 in
surance. Mr.. Axes had an extra fine
lot of almost new furniture and q
new 5000 piano with player attach
ment. He had $500 insurance on
the piano and $500 on his household
goods, but his loss will be quite a
heavy one.

IS SEEKING OIL IN IOWA.
!. H. Temple Will Sink Well In
Charlton Next Week.

Mr.. B. Fl. Temple, former Bur-
lington boy, but now of Pittsburgh
and connected with the IOWa-Texas
Fuel, Oil and Gas Co., was in Bur-
lington yesterday on his way to
we'll next week. His company, which
owns 10000 acres in Texas, and 10,-
900 acres in southwestern Iowa, is
confident that oil will be found in
this state. Near Charlton they expect
to drill four or five wells. The exact
depth that they will have to drill is
not yet known, but itS1s thought to
be about 1900 feet They are sure
that oil exists all over Iowa, in some
places $50 feet below the surface of
the ground.
Mr.. Temples company is, of
course, encouraged by the strikeing
of oil recently in McDonough county,
Illinois, only 400 feet below the
earth's surface. They have expert
geol0gists looking over the ground
in Iowa and all the reports are most
favorable. Mr.. Temple says if oil is
found near Charlton it is certainty
that natural gas will also be found.
Asked if this could be piped to Bur-
lington he said it could be and the
price would be much cheaper than
the citizens of Burlington are now
paying. He said there was also oil
right here near Burlington, but that
it would be necessary to drill through
so many feet of flint to reach it that
it would hardly be paying PROPOSE
