CARNIVAL RENDs CITY
Salisbury People Line up Over
Carnival Co.'S Use of
Streets.

The Panama carnival company
did not cut much of a figure at
Brunswick but it caused talk in
Salisbury when it arrived and
pitched its tents for the delecta-
tion of the public, in the public
street.
The merchants, some of them,
opposed the use of the streets
where the tents were located and
sought to have the same move
elsewhere. The city authorities
had said the carnival could use
the streets and trouble began.
The officials wanted to keep
their word as given, and some
of the merchants thought the
streets were not for such uses.
The outcome of the trouble
was that DR.. ]. D. Brummall
sued out a writ of temporary
injunction before Judge Lamb
and the injunction was issued.
The carnival company had to
remove its tents to the chautau-
qua grounds where they held
forth the rest of the week.
The writ of injunction could
not be made permanent until
the next term of court which
comes in September and the
present carnival company will
be gone. The objectors took the
grounds that the city had no
right to permit the use of the
streets for these purposes which
obstructed the use of them to
the general public and those
who supported the city council
took the ground that if the
company was not to be given
the use of the streets, the mat
ter should have been threshed
out before the city council be-
fore the carnival people came
and pitched their tents. In this
way the council, would be ap-
prised of the objections and
might have refused the per-
mission and the carnival COM
pany would have saved time and
expense by erecting their tents
elsewhere to commence with.

Improve the Park

Tuesday morning there was
an immense change in the ap-
pearance of the Price Park. The
bandstand had been moved and
the grass moved. The trees had
been trimmed and the change
was nothing less than wonder
ful. II moving the grass and
trimming the trees can produce
this marvellous change for the
better why not do more. Let
the work not be called finished
until the old stumps are grubbed
out Of the park and leveled off.
Burn the old benches that litter
the place better, none at all than
the kind that have Uttered the
park. Take out the old remnants
of the concrete walk that mars
the surface of the park. Level
off and obiterate the old wells
or cisterns that were dug in the
site of the park when the old
county Jail was there. The park
is no longer a Jail yard and the
reason for having an old open
well with a makeshift covering
1t is past. Let US fix the park up
right while we have a chance.
We may never have another
quite so good. While everyone
is interested is the time to do it
and fix the park 50 it will be a
beauty spot in the town instead
of the eyesore it has been.

Squirrel Season Open

Tuesday was June I and the
first day Of the squirrel season.
The season opened this year a
month earlier than a year ago
when July | was the first day
a person could legally kill
squirrels. The crop is shortening
every year as the timber is
being being cut out. The high
water the first of the month
caused fewer shooters to be out
than is usual the first day but,
judging from sundry shooting
that has been heard in the past
few weeks. not many young
squirrels survived to meet the
first Of June.

LIGHT PLAN CARRIES.
Only 3 Votes Out Of 148 OPP
posed to Franchise
Issuance.

That this town wants electric
lights is shown by the vote on
the matter of issuing a 20-year
franchise to R. W. Cropper to
erect an electric light plant and
utilize the streets of the town
for placing the poles and wires
necessary for the proper use of
the service.
The vote for the franchise is
suance of 20 years was 148 for
and 3 against. This was mighty
close to being unanimous. On
the question of giving a ten
year contract to the company
for lighting the city streets, the
vote was 152 in favor of giving
the contract and / vote against
it. In the North ward the vote
was unanimously in favor of
granting the franchise.
This means that the city of
Keytesville is going to enter the
ranks of the electrically-light
towns. The street lights will
not be ideal as they are to be in.

but the arcs may come later.
They will be an improvement on

Mr.. Cropper was asked by the
reporter when he expected to

fight for improvements in the

PROVED REAL FLOOD
Rains Deluge the Bottoms With
Overflow from the River
and Creeks.

The big rain came and the
rivers and creeks rose with it.
The Missouri caused some dam
age and more apprehension be-
fore its turbulent waters receded
sufficiently to permit a little
peace of mind for the residents
of its neighborhood. Railroads
were damaged to some extent
and the service along the Wa
bash and Santa Fe between Kan
sas City and Keytesville was
badly disturbed.
The mail service was bad and
for several days arrived and de-
parted most any old time. The
trains were off schedules and
Sunday afternoon was the first
time for several days that the
trains resumed their regular
routes from Kansas City east
ward to st. Louis and Moberly.
Then they were late. The train
to arrive here at 4:20 Sunday
got here about z p. m.
Locally, the Charlton and Mus
sci Fork were far out of their
usual channels, especially the
latter. The Muss Fork
was out a half a mile or
more across the bottoms at the
foot of the court house hill. 1t
covered the bottom pastures and
corn fields. The roads were i'm
passable and for a day or two
no attempts were made to get
out on the mail routes going out
that way. Sunday morning the
water had subsided enough that
horses were able to get through
the food O. K.
Many people were attracted
from here to view the flood and
during its early stages, fisher
men with gigs, etc., were out
looking for any unlucky fish that
might have been stranded in the
overflow. The flood has done
tremendous damage to the rail-
roads and also to the bottom
farms. However, Monday,
things were operating much as
as usual in this section excepting
in the lower bottoms where it
will take some time for the soil
to dry out sufficiently to be work.
ed. 1t is the biggest flood that
hasbeen noted here in the past
few years although some of the
old settlers have seen the waters
higher.

Park Question Not Voted

The question of whether or
not the Price park was to be
taken over by the city from the
three trustees who now hold it
was not voted upon at
the special election held Monday.
The Courier had been informed
by persons whom it thought
should know but in some manner
the ballots did not appear and
they could not be voted. This
question may come up later.

Monroe Horton

Sunday morning, Monroe Hor-
ton, an inmate of the county
inirmary for perhaps 30 years,
got up about 5 O'Clock, came down
stairs tied his shoes and went
out on a little porch at the side
of the bnilding. In a very few
minutes he was noticed by some
one coming in with a bucket Of
water crouching down in a cor
ner of the porch, and investiga-
tion revealed that there was
something serious in the case.
Supt. Davenport was called and
when he reached the PROSTATE
man, he was dead. supposedly
of heart failure, tho he had been
in apparent good health always.
Monroe Horton was forced in
to the militia. and in a trunk he
has managed to keep at hand
ever since the war is an old blue
army coat he used then, around
the collar Of which he sewed q
band taken from a red flannel
shirt a few weeks ago. Ever
since his enforced enlistment he
has been feeble minded. and
after his release a short time.
he was sent to the asylum where
he remained until his funds fall
ing short, he was brot to the
county farm where he has re-
remained ever since. He was
nearly if not quite, 80 years old
snd before the war and some
time after, had two good farms
near Salisbury. His family went
west after he was sent to the
asylum and his son James was
here a short time ago but return

his father.

Robert G. Grubbs

One of the we'll known and
unique characters of this county
died at the infrmary Saturday
morning and was buried in the
city cemetery Monday a. m.
Among other things, senile de-
bility and inaction caused the
death of the confederate veteran,
handy man with tools and always
jovial companion.
Punch" Grubbs as he was
known to all his old time ac-
quaintances was born in Gooch-
land county, Va. his father being
Nathan Grubbs who at one time
was a furniture dealer in Bruns-
wick.
He was born in 1888 and spent
his boyhood years in this county,
enlisting in the confederate
service and serving thru the
war with many from this county
among whom were Jno. P. Tip
petit. VIM. Blankenship, Eph.
Moore and Jas. 0rme, After the
war he returned to this county
and piled his trade Of carpenter
about AZ years ago marrying
Mrs. Geo. Veal who died several
years ago. There were two step
daughtets. Dixie and Georgia
Veal, and 8 daughters Lilly,
Matte and Jessy and son William
and several brothers of the de-
ceased. His daughters Lilly and
Matte and step daughter Dixie
came from Kansas City to pay the
last acts of love and saw to it that
their esteemed kinsman was in
TERED with due solemnity and
proper furnishings, Rev. Haynes
delivered appropriate remarks
at the cemetery.
After the death of his wife,
Robert Grubbs did carpenter
work mostly in the northern
part of the county and in this
city, and was a welcome guest
among almost all of his country
friends for years. His strength
failing with age. he and one or
two faithful comrades made
effort to secure a place for him
in the Confederate Home at
Higginsville, but for some reason
he never gained access nor
could his papers be got in shape
so that he could secure a pen
sion, to which he was as justly
entitled as any who ever SER
we'd on either side. His loyalty
to his friends was second to
none, and while many of his
acts appeared erratic, all ties
having been broken by first one
and then another adverse
fortune. he drifted like any bark
without a ruGder or other guild
ing influence. but all the time
there burned within him a deep
and interchangeable honesty and
sympathy and fortitude. Per-
haps when reveille is sounded
and together with all his old
friends and comrades he comes
forth again at the summons, he
will find a hearty welcome at
the mess and peace with those
