EXCESSIVE CLAIM
TO Be CONSIDERED
PROPERTY OWNER WANTS DAM
AGES GREATER THAN VALUE
OF THE PROPERTY.

| The Council Committee on Claims
yesterday evening considered the
claim of J. II, Leonard. who asks
81, 500 from the city for alleged dam
age to property in Louisiana Street.
Fulton. 1t Is said by the city that
the entire property rights would not
amount to the sum claimed in dam
ages. The alleged damages embrace
those accumuiative 70 the improve
ments to abutting property. II is
quite likely that the city would have
entered no objection to . reasonable
demand for damages. When the first
cali was made before the Administra-
tive Board. that body recommended
that the damages be not given, and
at the meeting OF the committee last
night the question was laid on the
table 80 that Mr. Leonard might APP
pear before the committee, and give
some tangible reason why he should
be paid the sum mentioned in his
claim.

'OLO SUPERSTITION

10 Indian Legend Of City At junction
Of Two Rivers Being Safe From
Windstorms True Of
keokuk?
N HAS ESCAPED 50 FAR
Several Times This Season Clouds
Which Looked Like They Might
Bring Bad Storms Were
Broken Here.

! Is there some truth in the old In
dian superstition concerning the safety
of towns located at the junction OF
two rivers, from destruction by wind
storms?
| Several times this summer, Keokus
has been threatened with some severe
looking skies. In many instances com.
munities in the vicinity have suffered
severely from windstorms, but short
squall is about all that has happened
there. Yesterday afternoon. It looked
as IL the town might be wiped of the
map. but there was nothing but rain
and little electrical disturbance.
The Indians say that town which
lies in the junction of two rivers will
never be visited by tornadoes or
cyclones. For years this has been the
accepted theory on which wind storms
have avoided doing any great damage
to this city. Many storms have been
known to break here, at the junction
of the two rivers.
Keokuk had heavy rain yesterday
afternoon which lasted about half an
hour. The weather bureau instr,I-
ments recorded fall of SO of an inch
during the rain yesterday afternoon
The rain came down in such torrents
that many OF the sewer openings were
clogged, and miniature lakes resulted.
There swas considerable debris washed
down from some OF the streets, AMI
the rain left trail of rocks and sand
on Main street at some OF the inter
sections.
