ted that he had persuaded young
jackson to leave his home against
his mother s pleadings. lie adj
mitted that he knew the lad was

that Everett left McCracken with

He declared, however, that Ev-
erett lost his property in bad
trades and was indebted to him
at the time Of the killing. He
stated that Everett wanted to take
horse they were on trade for
and return home on it and that

MORE LIGHT
PLANT TROUBLE
Todd Brothers Have Departed

Sometime last Saturday night,
or early Sunday morning Todd

half, departed from Springdale,
and their present whereabouts
are unknown. The plant was OPP

ing they had gone.
NJ. Clyde Martin, one of the
former owners Of the plant, and
who holds mortgage on the
property, arrived in Springdale
Friday morning Of last week, to
look after his interests, and on
being notified of the action of
the Todds Immediately assumed
charge Of the plant, as receiver
pro tenn.
The plant was being operated
under contract from Todd
Brothers with the City Of Spring
dale, and on assuming control
Mr.. Martin informed Mayor
Smith of the change. \ meeting
Of the council was held Monday
night, and Mr.. Martin assured
the council that he would carry
CIT the contract with the city as
arranged by theTodds. but ask
d that the members Of the coun-
ell, and other citizens Of Spring
dale, be just as patient in regard
TO service as possible, in view Of
the fact that the plant was in
rather poor condition.
Service this week has been
poor, practically no day service
whatever, and the night service.
with single exception of We'd
nesday night, has been nearly
nothing Mr.. Martin has been
working almost night and day
endeaVoring to get the two gener-
ators and two engines at the
plant IN proper condition. and the
small engine and small generator
are now in first class shape, and
but for the breaking of the large
belt Tuesday, service wouid have
been continued. The large gener-
ator will probably have to be re-
turned TO the repair shop. as all
efforts to find the trouble have
failed here, and it will not be us
eel until changes are made.
In speaking to The News Mr..
Martin asks that all patrons be
just as lenient as possible with
reference to the service that pat
rons refrain from using electric
IRONS or motors, after the supper
hour, until the larger generator is
IN better condition. He is doing
everything possible to get proper
service; but it will take few
days to get things in shape, after
the present conditions have been
relieved.
