Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1914-09-10


No action was taken in reference to
in additional street lights. The
job office was awarded the
contract for printing the city or
dinances. No other special business
was transacted.
The REGISTER last week told of a
q warrant having been issued against
Newland s. Vickery of Hogan on a
charge preferred against him by Mrs.
Williams and her son. The Williamses
alleged that Vickery struck the wo-
man over the head with a shovel with
out provocation. Mr.. Vickery says
that the story as printed does him an
injustice. He says that he, as a road
overseer, had charge of some men
working the roads when Mrs. Williams
and her son came from an orchard
with a load of peaches. He says he
told them not to take any more OF the
peaches as they were under his
charge. Mr.. vickery states that the
woman and her son unloaded their
peaches and yer going back for
more, coming to him on the road,
evidencing a desire for trouble. He
says the woman and her son advanc-
ed on him and he either had to de-
fend himself, or run. Then he struck
the woman with the shovel. This is
Mr.. Vickery's version of the trouble.
Eighteen members of the st. Louis
Cycling Club wheeled into town last
Sunday afternoon and took lodgings
with mine host Kanouse of the New
Commercial. Some of the "boys"
rode motorcycles and some pulled
through on foet-power. All were in
fine fettle and fresh as daisies after
their forty mile trip from De Soto
that day, to which town they had
progressed from st. Louis Saturday.
Following are their names: w. L.
Schneider, R. E. Moore, B. A. Fald-
man, B. Q. Hopkins, Lloyd Faidley,
W. @. Martin, 7. N. Amos, R. M. B.
Tidd. f. Beckman, L. Brod, E. j..
Pollman, s. Gaskell, O. B. Janson, F..
W. Hennicke, Carl Underestimate,
Harry Lang, Tom Stede, A. O. Thomp-
son. Full of the vigor and fire of
youth as they were-Ah, how I envy
them!-their manner and speech were
such asI mark the gentleman, an d
they won the good will of all who
came in contact with them. The
REGISTER wishes success and. happi-
ness to each and every member, and
extends them a cordial invitation to
repeat their visit whenever the spirit
moves them. They remained here
until Monday afternoon when they
left on No. 4. for home.
A. ". Polak, our Highway Engineer,
took a trip OF inspection over the
| Glover and Lesterville Road last
Thursday and attended q Road Meet
ing at Hunts Farm on Black River
in Reynolds county. He tells me that
the road OF twelve miles from Glover
to the river is as good as any in the
county, and with the money that is on
hand to spend on it it will be in shape
for automobile traffic. He says Mr..
Hunt has a 40 acre farm right on
Black River which he has@ixed up to
take care Of summer guests. On
the banks of the river about 80 feet
above it is a large dining-room called
Alberta Hall. Mr.. Hunt will tell why
he named it Alberta if you ask him
away from his wife. The DON will
accommodate about 40 people and is
well screened. Along the bank is a row
of bungalows, each accommodating
from 4 to is people. These bungalows
are built of pine slabs with the bari
left on, which gives them quite {
rustic appearance. They are all named
some of them being, the "Blue JAY
"Wren's Nest" "Sky Loft" ant
Honeymoon Cottage" There are
eight in all, besides Mr.. Hunts house
of some eight or ten rooms. The water
ranges in depth from n foot tt
fifteen or twenty, which makes II
ideal for swimming and boating. ON
of Mr.. Hunts ingenious methods O
entertaining his guests is to tie fourol
five boats together and hitch a horse
to the front one, then drive up stream
about a mile and cut loose, letting the
boats shoot the rapids back. Mr.
Hunt realizes that people away OF
such trips get hungry, SO he brings 4
man down from st. Louis each year
to look after the kitchen end, which
is we'll taken care of. Some of thu
guests have been there four consec'
utive years, which speaks well for thu
place. The advantage to that part o
Reynolds county can readily be seer
as Mr.. Hunt has representative mel
from all over Missouri there and give
employment to some ten or twelv'
people, besides buying products of al
kinds from the neighboring farmers.
