HONORING A FRIEND

Bloomfield, Ia, Aug. 18.-William
]. Bryan, former secretary Of state,
was the principal speaker here today
at the dedication of Weaver Park,
the old homestead of Iowa's soldier,
statesman and reformer, purchased Ivy

right hand man in the first 16 to

All through his public life Weaver
cut the way to new reforms and be-
fore his death had started the nation

political issue. Thousands of for
mer friends of the dead statesman,
many old soldiers who followed him
in war and still other thousands of
people anxious to hear Bryan are

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set of speed
photographs ever taken are a part of
the war departments exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures of shell from 12-
inch coast defense gun in flight, the
set including the various phases of
the fight beginning just as the great
projectile pokes its nose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with q
lens having an exposure period of
one tive-thousandth of second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
factured. The exposure at the proper
time in the flight of the projectile
was made by5breaking an electric cir
cult in wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out Of the muzzle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
feet from the muzzle but hidden by a
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight a hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe, Va, un.
der the direction of Capt. F.. j.
Behl of the coast artillery corps and
head of the department Of enlisted
specialists at the Coast Artillery
school at Fortress Monroe. -.

TROUBLES.

In spite of the fact that there was only
councillor to be elected in each of the
three wards and contest on in only two
OF them, yesterdays election developed
into very lively affair. Bright and ear
ly the voters began putting in their ap-
pearance at the second and third ward
polling places and during the entire day
until the polls closed, the judges and the
clerks were kept busy handing out and
and receiving ballots and registering
those who voted.
The vote in the first ward proved very
light, total of only 1873 votes being cast
out of total of 436 votes registered. No
new names were added on registration
day and none on the day of election. For
time some of the voters tried to inject
little ginger into the campaign when they
circulated report that the friends of
Alfred Nagel were passing stickers down
the line. This was easily detected as
canard and failed to stampede the voters
to the polls.

CITY ACCEPTS ENGINE

Rather than enter upon legal battle
with the Union Machine Co., a majority
of the City Council voted at a meeting
week ago to accept the engine installed
by the Company at the light plant
when the latter agreed to reduce their
price ON it $188;.81. The City Council
had partly paid for the engine, but there
was still owing $3,086.06, which the
city had refused TO pay until the engine
had proven more satisfactory than it
had shown itself to be during the first
years use Of it.. Some weeks ago the
Machine Company offered to reduce
the bill $500 but the city voted at that
time not to accept the proposition.
In order to get the matter settled up

about an adjustment of the matter.

heard a motion brought on behalf Of
E. J. Buehrer and the Brown County
Cooperative Publishing Company in
the Henry Berg libel suit to have Ale
cations Four, Five and Eleven stricken
from the complaint as irrelevant. The
Judge filed his order last Saturday,
granting the motion to strike out the
paragraph in question.
Paragraph Four is the one in which
the plaintiff pays his compliments to
Mr.. Buehrer. Paragraph Five charges
the publishing company with unreason-
ably and negligently allowing the poll
cies Of Mr.. Buehrer to continue after
they knew of said facts. Paragraph
Eleven is the one which stated that

Olsen in the case of Halvor Halyorson
versus Maggie Halvorson enioins and
restraints the defendant from maintaining
the filling and obstruction placed by
her in the water outlet from the plain
tiff's land on her own land in June, 1914,
and she is thereby required to remove
the same. The plaintiff also RECEIVERS
the sum of S24.00 damages done to his
corn crop by reason OF having four
acres OF his land submerged. There are
three or four small depressions, or
sloughs on the plaintiffs land, in all
about five acres, and the question at
issue was whether the surface water
that accumulates there has a natural
outlet over and across defendants land.
Surface water, in this state, is con-
sidered common enemy and every
one has right to get rid OF the water
accumulations from his own land via
natural channels on to his neighbours
land. The Court holds in this case
that the preponderance of evidence
shows that the channel over defendant
land is natural channel for the surface
water on the plaintiffs land and that it
must be kept open.

The activity in the other two wards
was very marked and was apparent thru
out the day. Friends of the opposing
candidates were very active and as re-
suit larger number of votes was poiled
than was expected. Shortly after one
o'clock $50 votes had been cast in the
second and 232 in the third wards. By
4 o'clock this voted had reached 235 and
357 respectively. Ten new voters regis
tered in the second ward and fifteen in
the third on registration day. This was
further augmented by ten additional in
the second and IS in the third on election
day.
Johnson went down to defeat in the
second ward by vote of 1876 to 1874
and Krook came out as victor in the
third with majority of Is, defeating
his opponent Christ Filzen by vote
of 253 to 237. Seven votes in the third
ward were thrown out. The Second
Regiment Band was on hand promptly
and serenaded the successful candidates,

Injury Of Man
FOUND SENSELESS AND BLEED
ING IN BARN WHERE HE
SPENT NIGHT.
COMPANIONS ARRESTED PRO-
TEST INNOCENCE. MAN
TELLS NOTHING.

Considerable mystery surrounds a
reputed cutting or stabbing ARRAY
which occurred at one Of the Aufderheide
barns early Wednesday morning and as
a result of which Frank Wilkins is re-
ceiving treatment at the Loretto Hospital
for1injuries received that morning. When
some of the hired men came to the Auf-
derheide barn that morning for the
purpose of taking care of the horses.
they found Wilkin in an unconscious
condition, covered with blood and with
his ear badly slashed and showing
other injuries around his heaC and face.
He was Immediately taken to the
hospital where he is under treatment.
Suspicion directed itself at once to
Robert Siebenbrunner and Charles Ben
hardt who had been with him the
previous night. Siebenbrunner was
takeny into. Custody by the sheriff Friday
morning and Benhardt was taken into
custody by Deputy Sheriff Herman
Jahnke Friday afternoon. Sieben-
Drummer was allowed to go Friday after
noon and Benhardt was discharged from
the Sheriff's custody Monday afternoon.
Both claim to know nothing about the
matter. They state that when they
left Wilkin in the morning he was up
but refused to go to the Aufderheide
camp where the three of them were
employed chopping wood.
County Attorney Fredrickson was
in the city Monday and spent consider
able time trying to get enough evidence
to be able to file a complaint against the
party or parties who committed the
assault on Wilkin but was unable to
find sufficient evidence to warrant him
in going ahead. Wilkin claims to
know nothing, does not know who at
tackled him if he was att acked and does
not know how he received his injuries.
All that seems to b definitely known is
that the three men started for the Auf-
derheide lumber camp and got no
farther than the barns of Mr.. Aufder-
heide in the south end of town. It is
reported that they drank two or three
bottles of strong liquor. If that should
be the case it is quite evident that none
of them would know or remember very
much 1t may be also that the man
went to sleep again after his companions
left him and was kicked or stepped on by
horses.
