money making are blowing and only
the house that is built on the rock of

JOHN wren IS
VERY MUCH alive
Former Webster City Man Refuses
to Remain a Corpse-A Mis-
take Somewhere.

According to the Fort Dodge pa
pers the report that John Wren, for
merly of this city and now Of Fort
Dodge, had been killed in a brawl
at Candy, Mimi, few daps ago is
a mistake. When Asa Wren, father
of John Wren, was called up over
the telephone by the sheriff of Web
ster county and informed of the
death of his son, he said there was a
mistake, as his son was alive and
was in Fort Dodge. 1t is apparent
that the authorities at Candy were
misled. They said they had been
Informed by a Mr.. Closz that the
dead mans name was Wren and
that he formerly resided here in
Webster City. From the description
given it was supposed the dead man
was John Wren. Sheriff Nelson has
no additional particulars to those al,
ready published.

A Suggestion to Hunters.

Burlington Hadk-Eye: A very
large timber wolf was shot in Rose
Grove township, in Hamilton coun-
ty, recently. The hunter received
$40 for that days work. There are
many wolves in Iowa today. There
are few counties in Iowa where
there are no wolves. Yet the wolf
hunters are very scarce. And it is
not on record that a sportsman mas
ever shot wolf. They are out for
ducks or squirrels, or perhaps for
'possum, but that they might go out
and do the farmers a good turn and
earn enough to buy ammunition and
to pay for their license for many
years, that never enters their head.
If some of these sportsmen were en-
gagged at four or five dollars a day,
to roam through the timber and look
for wolves, they would soon go on
strike, they would claim that the
work was too hard, and the pay too
small.

north end. Holes will start from
some of these imperfections, coun-
cilmen say.
Traffic was permitted on the
pavement before it was properly set
and ready for traffic.
w. ]. Hamilton, who owns 1900
feet Of property along the paving,
says he has the word Of man who
worked on the job that only sixty
nine sacks of cement were used in
one block of the paving when the
contract called for eighty-three
sacks. Contractors claim that from
eighty-six to ninety sacks have
been used to each block, more than
required, and that a total of 1000
sacks of cement more than required
have been put into the paving.
Mr.. Hamilton also charges that
gravel of an inferior quality has
been used in some parts of the job,
containing dirt and other foreign
substances.
The contract price is s1.59k a
yard. Property owners figure that
total cost will be $1.91 yard when
extras and inspection fees are in
Guided.
In answer to these charges the
contractors, Christie & Balzer, say
that the paving has not yet "set"
and that it's apparent softness will
be eliminated in time. They also
point to their five-year guarantee
that the paving is good as the rem
edy for all objections now found.
1t is probable that the state high
way commission will take up this
job first when the paving investiga-
ton is started in Des Moines.
Councilman Fred German declar-
ed that the city's engineers are do
ing too much talking in defense of
the contractors. Engineers SAM and
Carss engaged in an alteration dur
ing the inspection with property
owners.
at seems to me that our engin-
GERS are defending these contractors
too much" said German. ut might
be we'll if they would talk from the
peoples standpoint once in awhile.
This job looks to me like it needs
little fixing"
