CARE OF BRIDGES PART OF SUP.
EfVISORS' DUTY.
Supreme Court Holds County Boards
Responsible for Upkeep Of
Bridges, s

In reversing the decision of the
Davis county district court in an ac-
tion brought by T. D. Doke for dam
ages for injuries to a team by reason
of a defective approach to bridge.
the supreme court Tuesday refused
to relieve the board Of supervisors Of
responsibility for the upkeep Of its
bridges.
When the case was heard before
Judge Hunter, it was dismissed on a
showing that the defective bridge
approach had been reported to the
county but that the board of super
visors had not had time to fix it. Re-
garding this the supreme court says:
1T cannot be that the county is
only to be held liable on notice to
a member of the board of supervisors
after sufficient time has elapsed
after meeting for the board to meet
again in order to do something for
the protection of the public. No case
SO holds and we are not disposed to
make such a precedent"

Edgar Ketcham Now Train Dis
patcher.

The ambition of every young tele-
graph operator and many an older
one, is to some day become train
dispatcher, but only very few ever
reach the coveted goal. Edgar Ketch-
am, son of c. NJ Ketcham, agent for
the Burlington in this city, has just
been promoted to this responsible
position on the Canadian Pacific rail
road, -Tat Reyelstake, British Colum-
bia, and he is one of the youngest,
if not the youngest train dispatcher
in the country. He is one OF the best
operators engaged in railroad work,
and although he has only been work
ing for the Canadian Pacific less than
two years, was selected for dispatch
er over number of much older men
on account of his proficiency and
careful work. Leon is proud OF the
record which this bright young man
is making in his profession, and Ed
gar's many friends in this city eX-
tend their congratulations.

Organizing to Boost Southern Iowa.

A meeting was held at Clarinda on
Monday by the Southern Iowa Devel-
opment Association, which was or
ganized primarily to secure adequate
train service along the K. & w. rail-
road. An assessment of $40 for each
100 population was made, and the
money thus obtained will be used in
obtaining and retaining adequate
freight and passenger service, as ac-
cording to the best informa ton at
hand the present train service from
Van Vert to Shenandoah, is only a
temporary arrangement pending the
outcome of the governments investi-
cation now being conducted by Unit
ed States Attorney Claude r. Porter,
as to whether this line OF railroad was
secured by the Burlington company
in restraint OF trade The railroad
company had discontinued the extra
train service after a trial of six
months, but when action was COM
menced by the government they vol
unfairly put the train back. The
mem bership towns at present extend
from Shenandoah to Van Vert, but
other towns in southern Iowa will be
admitted and a systematic advertis-
ing of southern Iowa along agricul-
tural and industrial lines will be
made. The boosters at the head Of!
the new organization are working
hard to do things for the towns.

A. v. WALDO SUICIDES
iAeed. lamate Of County Home Shot
himself Monday Afternoon on
AcCoUnt Of Poor Health.

i "A. w. Waldo, one of the old resi-
dents of Decatur county, committed
suicide in his rooml at the county
farm Monday afternoon, by shooting
himself in the right temple with a
.32 calibre revolver, and death was
probably instantaneous. Steward
Shira was at work putting in cement
walk In front Of the county home,
when one Of the inmates came to him
about 8 80 o'clock and told him he
believed Mr.. Waldo was. dead. He
went at once to Waldo's room, and
found him dead in bed. He had un-
dressed and gone to bed before tax
ing his life, and left a written state
ment, addressed to whom 1T may con-
cern, stating that he was taking MS
life to relieve his great suffering, and
that he believed God would forgive
him for his act. Mr.. Waldo was about
"A years of age, and had made his
home at the county farm for ABOUT
eight years. He had been in poor
health for, many years and suffered
great physical pain, and this un-
doubtedly caused him to take his
life. The fact that he had a revolver
was unknown to Steward Shira, but
it seems that, he had kept 1t conceal
ed in his tfunk for about four years,
it being learned by Mr.. Shira that the
revolver. was brought there about
four years ago by another inmate
and purchased at that time by Waldo
who had kept it concealed in his
trunk containing his personal belong
ings, the trunk being kept locked.
AS Waldo had no other use for re-
yolver, it is evident that when ne
purchased it he contemplated taxing
his life.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock, con
Quoted by Rev. Chas. w. Reeder, pas.

which the deceased had been a lie

AS he had no relatives here nothing
definite could be learned as to the
date of his birth. He was QUIET let oia

The Christmas Ship.

The appeal is urgent and the time
is short. If Leon is to send Christ
mas gifts to the destitute and war

must act at once. There is no time
for delay. The ship sails November

announced in the paper last week.
That means that all gifts must be In
