tions Between City and

cent Between Bridge Level

Secured.

The first step in the passage Of the
bridge ordinance was taken by the

.pany. The council, following the GUS
tomary procedure, ordered the ordin-
aace posted and placed on file for a

SHOOTING AFFAIR
AT BURLINGTON
Truman Pond, 80, IL Held by Police
Who are Investigating Kill
Ing Of Man.

BURLINGTON, March Truman
Pond, aged 32 years, Is being held at
the police station for the murder Of
Carl Turner, aged 26 years. The trag-
edy occurred at the Pond residence at
the corner Of Main and Angular
streets at an early hour this morning
At 1:15 the police station was noti-
fed by telephone by young Pond that
he had shot man, who was running
around the house dripping blood all
over the place. Night Captain Good
man and Officer Flavell went at once
to the house and found Turner lying
in pool of blood in back room,
with young Pond and his father, Nor
ris Pond standing near him. Turner
was still breathing but Was uncon-
scious, with his mouth pouring forth
an ugly stream of clotted blood.
When asked how the tragedy occur
red Truman Pond, who showed the
evidence of drink and nervousness,
said in faltering manner: Turner
came in from Ottumwa this after
noon I don't remember what hap
pened about supper. Tonight we were
sitting here, (the downstairs room)
and were drinking beer and whiskey.
Turner was awful drunk but I knew
what I was about. I told him to go
to bed and led him upstairs. Half
way up, he got ugly and tried to hit
me. I got him into bedroom next
to mine and just as I left he came
after me, said What the h is the
matter with you He grabbed at me
and I ran into my room and took a
twenty-five revolver which was lying
on my wash stand, and went back in
to the outer room, where Turner was.
1t was dark and I could not see him,
but he was cussing and just to scare
him I fired twice down low. Turner
fell downstairs I rushed down after
him and found him wandering around
and bleeding. I telephoned to the
police"

as to the decision of the railroad peo-
pie, there was hurried consultation
in which the plan of Warsaw to bridge
the Mississippi at that point to carry
the T. p. e w. across the river to
Alexandria and thence westward, max
ing Warsaw an important division
point in q transcontinental line and q
prominent candidate for the county
seat, it was discussed and it was de-
cided to forestall this by building a
bridge across the Mississippi, from
Hamilton to Keokuk. They therefore
sent their best men to Springfield, the
states then granting franchises for
bridging the Mississippi, and secured
the right to build bridge between
hamilton and Keokuk, with the pro.
vision that no other bridge should be
built eight miles north or eight miles
south.
Thus, It Is said, Warsaw woke up
one morning to find its dream of the
county seat shattered. Two years ago,
when the Mississippi River Power
company constructed their dam at
Keokuk, congress was asked to grant
a franchise for the use of the top of
this dam for the purpose of bringing
another railroad line into Keokuk.
The argument presented was that the
old structure was not strong enough
to hold the trains which railroads are
now running. Congress did not con-
slider the eight mile provision Of the
franchise of the old structure as a SUI
fcient bar to the construction of an
other bridge, but, 1t was opposed to
the use Of the dam for that purpose
SO it was decided, that IL the company
owning the Keokuk and Hamilton
structure wonld renew their bridge
and make it capable of holding modern
trains, no franchise would be granted
for the use q the dam. This was ac-
ceptable and stl1e owners of the old
structure at once applied to congress
for a new charter, and the work Of re-
constructing the old bridge will soon
begin.

Town FIGHT ENDS
IN LOCAL BRIDGE
Keokuk and Hamilton Structure Was
Established az Result Of coun-
ty Seat War Across
River.
CARTHAGE VS. WARSAW
Warsaw Woke up One Morning to
Find That Their Dreams of
Power Had Been
Shattered.

That there is story behind the
building of the old Keokuk and Hamil-
ton bridge is the assertion OF the
Burlington Hawk-Eye, which prints
the following concerning the early his
tory of the structure:
The granting OF franchise for the
renewal of the Keokuk and Hamilton
bridge Is of considerable interest here
because Of the new bridge which the
citizens are preparing to build across
the river at this point. There is an in
terest in the renewal OF the Keokul1
bridge throughout the entire Missis-
sippi valley because of the unique con-
u.tions under which the original struc-
ture was built. The location Of the
bridge at that point, and its building
was the result of a county seat fight
between Warsaw and Carthage, Ill.
During the latter part Of the sixties
the T. P. & w. railroad was projected
to run across the state Of Illinois to
Warsaw. This roaa was at first laid
out through Carthage, ILL.,, but its pro-
jectors demanded OF the citizens of
that place $4,000 for their share or
the expense.
A mass meeting Of Carthage citizens
was advised by several prominent peo-
pie there to ignore the demand of the
T. P. & w. projectors, the argument
being that the road would have to
come to Carthage anyway, and there
was objection to Carthage paying the
sum asked. This answer was there
fore returned to the projectors Of thu
new road. When Warsaw people, who
were largely interested financially IN
the new line, heard OF the action 1t
the Carthage people, it is said that
they persuaded the projectors Of the
new road to go north OF Carthage, thus
putting that city out Of their route
and hurting their interests in the
county seat fight then pending. When
Carthage heard of this new move,
they hurriedly rescinded their decis-
lon and offered to pay the 100000.
The railroad people said that it was too
late, however, that the line had al
ready been established four miles
north of Carthage and ending at War;
saw. When Carthage was informed
