The matter of a new depot was one

today and there probably will be none
for some time, but it is known that
estimates for a considerable improve
ment campaign to local property
have ben made by the company's en-

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, March 5.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, March 5.
Judge C. G. Lee Of Ames, who has
given the railroad companies notice
that gambling on trains in his dis
trict will not be permitted, means
business. At Clarion he caused the
arrest of four men who were playing
cards in the smoking car. They were
taken before a justice Of the peace
and gave bonds for their appearance
before the grand jury on charge of
gambling.
Judge Lee called the attention Of
the conductor to the game and asked
him to speak to the men. All the
railroads in Judge Lees district have
furnished their trainmen printed
copies Of the judges instructions re-
garding gambling. The conductor read
his instructions to the men, but they
merely laughed at him and went on
with their game. Later the brake
man approached them and asked them
to comply with the law.
Judge Lee said nothing, but when
the train reached Clarion the sheriff
was at the station and at the instance
Of the jurist the men were arrested.

FIRE THREATENS
SAGE ST. HOME

Fire, which originated from spon-
taneous combustion, last night threat
ened the destruction of a residence at
80 Sage street, occupied by the fam
ilites Of Herman Newman and Herman
Martinson. The department re-
sponded to an alarm at 10 o'clock and
extinguished a blaze burning briskly
underneath the veranda with chemi-
GALS. The house was recently con-
'tructed and the veranda had been
built over a pile of shavings and
refuse. Mr.. Martinson had recently
been oiling the floors in his section
Of the house and threw rag satur-
ated with oil under the veranda on
top of a heap of shavings. Chief
Stickney believes the combustion of
the oil-soaked rag and the dry shaw
ings gave origin to the blaze. The
damage was slight. 4 TX
