There is another chapter to be writ
ten about the old Grimsley house on
North Seventh street, above Morgan
street. A mysterious figure has been
seen in the old ramshackle deserted
building. evidently trying to attract
the attention of oassersby. usually
women. Last week the ghost was
arrested and later turned loose when
no one appeared against him. Now
that informations are filed, the police
n owl, to Al,-
dividual. The little old brick house is
in need of repair. The doors are all off
their hinges or swung back, and the
would hardly seem 10 be good place
to shelter any one IN winter. One pc
destrian who went past the building in
the early morning this winter was
rather startled to hear a cough and
to see what looked like white arm
waving thru the opening where win
dow used to be. He walked around
the block to verify his suspicious
and then became frightened when
he saw that the apparition was a
man. The police were notified and
arrested the man who was found in
the building. No appearance was en-
tered against him, and he was released
at the request of relatives. a day later
inforn,ations wee filed.
Burlington.
Burlington and the Mississippi wall
ley are looking forward with consid-
cradle interest to the approach of the
new travelling factor, the jitney bus,
and before the summer is over several
lines of this new tangled mode of
transportation will be running here
abouts. The erection of the new high
way bridge at Burlington will afford
access into Illinois of the new bus
and it is expected that lines radiating
to cities not now reached by railroad
or interurban systems will be estab-
lished From the Pacific coast the jit-
ney bus has now actively entered Iowa
and when the new routes Of travel are
established across the river further
lines will be laid out. Nauvoo, ILL.,, is
already planning line of these busses
from that city to Fort Madison, cross
ing the Mississippi river by the Santa
F'e bridge. 1t is probable also that a
line will be established from Keokuk
to Nauvoo along the beautiful Lake
Cooper highway on the Illinois side of
the river affording good view of the
power dam. Illinois affords many ave-
nues of unsurpassed beauty for this
style of bus and "the Burlington way"
between St. Louis and Burlington will
become one of the eavor.ss routes after
the bridge at Burlington across the
Mississippi has been constructed.
