CREScO, HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA. FRIDAY. MARCH 1915
Too Officiou..

On Monday afternoon, Marshal PEGGY,
alleging that James McIntire was intoxi-
Gated and using profane language,
attempted to place him under arrest.
McIntire pushed the marshal from his
buggy and started for home, but was
followed on horseback by PEGGY who
overlook McIntire west of the Water
Works, and with the assistance of a
stranger in town called to help the
marshall, numerically pounded McIn-
tire and put him in Jail in dazed con-
dition that amounted to Inconsistencies.
Mr.. McIntire, at his trial on Wednes
day, pleaded not guilty to the charge of
using profane language, and without a
witness called for the defense, Mayor
Barker discharged McIntire. Public
sentiment was considerably ..stirred up
over what is generally termed unwar-
rentedly brutal treatment on the part
of the marshal toward man who was
getting out of town as quickly as pos
sible, and whose natural desire to avoid
arrest was justified by what was after
wards proven to be an exceedingly
f1imsy charge, made by the marshal.

Bond Election Void.
1AOOI "H1ND
County Auditor.

It has been discovered that the bond
election held recently is of no effect
and steps will be taken to hold another
election as soon as possible. Petitions
will be circulated so that action may
be had upon them by the city council
on their first meeting in April.
1t seems that a provision of the last
legislature provided that the total
affirmative vote at the election must
equal one-half the total vote cast at
the last city general election. At
the spring election in 1914, 6S2 ballots
were cast which would necessitate q
vote of 342 to enable the city to issue
bonds, and total of but 259 were cast.
There is no doubt that the sentiment
of the people is for the bond issue, and
that at the Forthcoming election, the
voters will see to it that the measure
receives the necessary number of votes.

Charlie. City Electric Line Building.

E. R. Thompson is in receipt of a
letter from the manager of the Charles
City Western Railway in which it is
stated that work is nicely in progress
on the electrifcation of their present
line from Marble Rock to Charles City,
and that this year an extension will be
made about eight miles in northeast
erly direction from Charles City.
The Charles City Intelligencer of
recent date contained the following
item concerning the roads activities,
and also the legality of the tax voted in
and of the road:
Electric cars will be running on the
c.. c. w. Ry. by June 20. The line
will be extended to Section 10 irnmedi-
ately and will soon be built to Cresco.
s'The Charles City Western will be
extended to section 10, and its present
line electrified with no legal obstacle in
the way. Yesterday the supreme court
of Iowa decided the petition of Geo. NJ.
Mitchell, ct al, for rehearing of the
case, which had been tried in the dis
trict court of Floyd county at the
March, 1914, term and appealed to the
supreme court by the defendants and a
decision handed down in favor of1the c.
C. w. Ry. Co., the said defendants.
Gas announced yesterday, the actual
construction of the line is going for
ward at once. R. A. Anderson, FORMER
constructing engineer for the Cedar
Fall & Northern electric line at Water
loo, is on the job. Rush orders for ties,
copper wire, rails, etc., have been
made, and invitations for bids have
been sent out to constructing firms for
the grading, hence the sound of the
shovel will soon be heard.
"While it was expected that the pc
tition for rehearing of the case would
be denied by the supreme court, never
theless President C. w. Hart, Mana
ger E. r. Ernsberger and Attorney ].
P. Gregg were pleased to get the opin-
ion of the court on the matter.
'The building of the road this sum-
mer will be great. stimulus to the
business of Charles City, while the
more lasting results will come later
when the electric cars are running"
