FAIRFIELD ELECTION
MONDAY, MARCH q

Fairfield, March 16.-From all indi-
cations the city election of Fairfield
next Monday will likely be most in
teresting. Although there are as yet
no candidates formally announced for
the city offices, there are a number
of prominent residents doing cam
paign work for candidates.
There has appeared a most import
ant issue in the campaign which is
being freely discussed almost every
where in the city. It is a movement
for the adjustment Of the pool rooms
and billiard halls Of Fairfield and was
launched Saturday afternoon when
petitions were placed in the hands Of
several laymen of each church in the
city and these are now being freely
signed by the voters.
The petitions request the city coun-
Gil to repeal the ordinance allowing
pool halls and billiard rooms under a
license and asking that the voters Of
Fairfield be given the privilege of say
ing whether or not these places shall
exist in the city.
There is now an organized move
ment on foot among the laymen Of
prominent business men of Fairfield
to open first class Y. M. G. A. in this
city, one that will be modern and up
to-date in every respect and will fur
nish amusement and assistance to the
youth and men Of Fairfield and it is
felt that there will not be much oppo'
sition to the closing Of the pool rooms.

BURNS KILL WOMAN

Columbus Junction, March 16.-
Warming on a stove a solution of
kerosene, turpentine and lard, Miss
Orpha Jennings, living on farm south
west Of here, was so severely burned
by an explosion of the mixture that
she died Friday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock.
The victim of the unfortunate acct
dent was at home alone when the occi-
dent occurred. AS the mixture flared
up and ignited her clothing she ran
into the bed room hoping to smother
the flames in the bed clothing.
In a second feather bed had caught
fire and in a short time the entire bed
room was in flames. Miss Jennings
then smashed window to attract the
attention of her brother and cousin
who were working in the yard.

succeeded in smothering the flames
but not until the victim had been so
severely burned that no hopes of saw
ing her life remained. Miss Jennings

DRAINING Of lake
TO Be TEST CASE
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED OVER
ACTION OF WRIGHT COUNTY
SUPERVISORS.

Clarion, March 16.-Considerable in.
terest in this section of Iowa is arous-
ed among the duck hunters over the
action of the board of supervisors Of
Wright county wherein they propose
to drain Wall lake in this county and
thus deprive the hunters of their best
shooting grounds. Interest centers In
this case for the reason that it Is a
test case, said to be the first Of the
kind in the state
An interesting development came to
light when the state of Iowa took a
hand in the matter and filed objec-
lions to the proposed drainage Of the
lake. The objections on the part OF
the state are as follows:
That the exclusive and sole juris-
diction over said real estate belonging
to the state is lodged with the legis-
lature and the executive council and
that the board of supervisors OF
Wright county has not legally been
vested with authority over the prop
erty and is wholly without jurisdiction
over said real estate and is without
power or authority to order the drain
age Of same or to make any assess
ment against it or place any tax upon
1t for the purpose of paying the cost
Of constructing or maintaining said
drainage ditch or for any other pur-
pose
That the executive council of the
state of Iowa has taken action prelim-
mary to the drainage Of Wall lake
according to plan Of it's own and at
its own expense and has already en-
tered into contract with Fred R.
Austin of Clarion by which it pro-
poses to drain a portion of the real
