and the other for $1,000 sent to At
terney James BoiiinseI, arrived here

of the estate Of the late John +. Dillon

by Judge Dillon in his will. The &c.
900 will be used to erect beautiful
fountain on the court house lawn and
the $1,000 will go into the general

will it was stipulated that in case the
Scott county board 81 supervisors
should deem the erection of a memorial
fountain inadvisable then the $4,000
should be distributed among the de-
serving poor of Scott county. Al a
conference between a lawyer repre-
senting the estate and the board of
supervisors it was decided that the

Thirty pieces of lumber which re-
quired the services of three fiat cars
to transport them were in the local
Union Pacific freight yards for short
while Friday evening. Each timber
measured 142 feet in length and was
eighteen inches wide and six and one
half inches thick. The enormous
length of the timbers made it i'm
perative to use three fiat cars the
lumber being pivoted on the first and
last car to facilitate holding the lum-
Der in position while the train was
rounding curves. The shipment ar
rived from the west on the Union Pa
| cific coming from Ostrander Wash,
and gave local employees of that com
pany a slight idea Of the big trees OF
which the state of Washington justly
boasts. From Council Bluffs the tim
bers began the remainder OF their
| journey on the lines Of the Milwaukee
and are destined for Bana, w. Va.
from where it is presumed they Will
| eventually find their way into ship
| building yard along the Atlantic coast
Madrid.
| Three men were rather seriously in
! jured in free-for-an fray which
broke out at Zook Spur Sunday night.
| The amber fluid which is SAID TO nave
given one Of the cities on Lake Mich
gan a wide reputation, is understood
to have been one of the causes for the
trouble. Martin Kruger received
stab over the heart which would prob
ably have ended his fighting days had
the instrument not have happened to
have struck a rib, while Vid karakas
had his face battered up and his anat-
omy otherwise disfigured, and John
Rodavich was stabbed thru the right
arm and shoulder. The instrument
which was used in the carving process
was long knife with a blade which
would make bolo expert happy. Just
who it was that welded the carver is
unknown, although 1t is said that
strong suspicion is directed toward a
certain resident OF the town who hap
pened to disappear for parts unknown
Immediately afterwards.
