Judge Randall, in Municipal court at
Kenosha, on Friday of last week,
found men who would rather serve
time in the state prison at Waupun
than have restricted liberty The man
was Henry Hollander, Oshkosh, who
had been arrested on a charge of en-
bezzling funds of the Pabst brewing
company and admitted his guilt. He
was given a year and then the court
suspended sentence and announced
that he would put Hollander on parole
in the keeping of the state board of
control. Hollander came back into
court half hour later and asked that
he be given straight sentence to pris-
on, holding that he did not care for
restricted" liberty. The court refused
to change the order.

Bridge number As in Cedar township
was rebuilt, in section % last week.
The 16 foot wooden spann in White
Oak township, just east of, the WhitA
Oak church was torn down and feplacs
ed with large shell or culyert pipe.
A, short while ago Mr.. Reynolds and
his men refloored the Bellefo.rltait
bridge across Des Moines river, using
gum lumber for the work. The FIRST
number of this kind which was ever
used in the county was seven years ago
on the river bridge just north of the
city. The board of supervisors con-
sidcred the wearing qualities of the
lumber so great that they purchased
the same kind for the new floor on
the BellefOuntain bridge, Including the
labor and the material the new floor
cost Mahaska county only $500.
The new floor required some $4,000
feet of lumber and considering the
lasting qualities of the material, the
floor was comparatively inexpensive.
Mr.. Reynolds is working now on
bridge number A in Pleasant Grove
township, section 10. A part of his
gang OF men are in New Sharon UNI
loading a car of lumber at that place.
One team and man is working in sec
ton of Jefferson township on bridge
number 7.
One week ago Friday, or July 28th,
James Taylor went over a bridge in
Spring Creek township with its trac-
tor engine and badly damaged the
floor of the structure. Mr.. Reynolds
and his men worked all the next day
repairing the floor, and by evening the
whole floor was in place and being
used. The accident occurred late on
Friday evening, traffic was never stop
ped, and the new floor was in place by
Saturday evening, the following day.
