FIND SKELETON OF
VICTIM OF FLOOD

Earlville, July 6.-When the disas-
trous flood swept through the Elk
creek region May "a, 1896, over twenty
years ago, Mrs. Bonnie, who resided
IA a small house on the lowlands, was
drowned and her body was never
found although search was made
throughout the entire bottom lands.
Last week Barner lngles while hoe
ing corn unearthed a skeleton that Is
known to be the remains OF the ILL
fated woman. They were found about
4 mile from the old Bonnie home and
Just about where the searchers con-
scluded that the body had lodged.
In the 1896 flood waters of Elk
creek rose very rapidly and in few
hours the stream had become raging
torrent. Mrs. Bonnie's house was
swept away by the food and no\trace
Of her had been found until last week.

Temporary Injunction BY
Anderson Stops Move
on at Eddyville
HATCHITT CLAIMS
ACTION IS ILLEGAL
Petition Now on File to
Show Alleged Flaws
in Proceedings

The signing Of an order for injunc'
ton by Judge D. M. Anderson at Abba
Wednesday afternoon temporarily
stops the reception Of bids for the
erection of a new school house at
Eddyville.
A petition in equity for an injunc-
ton was filed in the Wapello county
court today by C. E. Hatchitt vs.. the
independent school district of Eddy
Vile R. J. Oldham, J. M. Crosson, S.
A. Shaver. H. G. True and M. l..
Clark, directors.
The plaintiff as a taxpayer and resi-
dent of Eddyville brings the suit to
restrain the defendants from letting
the contract for the building today or
at any future date to which they may
adjourn. On the final hearing he asks
the court to make the temporary In
junction permanent.
Mr.. Hatchitt outlines in his petition
that on May %, 1916, the voters OF the
Eddyville Independent school district
voted the issuance of bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the purpose OF
building and furnishing a school
house. He alleges that the board has
passed no resolution to build the
school house and has neglected to
pass any resolution which would carry
out the will Of the voters as expressed
in the election. He says that 1t has
failed and neglected to do anything
which would make the letting Of the
contract legal and that it has not
authorized the publication OF any no
tice to receive bids.
The plaintiff then states that the
board did appoint building commit
tee but he claims that committee act
ed without authority when it publish
ed a notice in the Eddyville Tribune
on June 8, 1916, that bids would be
received up until noon today, July 6
1916. He alleges that there were NJ
plans on file when the notice was pub
iished. that the notice was not com
plete and that no one could learn any
thing about the kind Of building. the
size. style or other information from
the advertisement
Mr.. Hatchitt alleges that the com
mittee intended to go ahead and LEI
the contract and shift the responsible
ity Of flaws in the contract, unsatis
factory work and like conditions on
the taxpayers. =

CORN is MAKING
RAPID GROWTH

Des Moines, July 6.-The weekly
bulletin of the Iowa weather and crop
service for the week ending July 4,
1916:
The last seven days gave the high
est temperature since the summer of
1914, and, as there was an abundance
of sunshine the conditions were excel
lent for growth Of corn and killing
weeds. Only a few scattered showers
occurred prior to the 4th, but on the
last day Of the week local showers,
some heavy, occurred in the central
counties. Corn made very rapid
growth and much of it is now nearly
up to the normal. Many fields have
been laid b. and practically all of it
is clean. Glover hay harvest is in
progress and is being secured in prime
condition. Some mixed hay has also
been cut Timothy is in bloom and
will soon be ready to cut. The yield
of clover is generally heavy, but tim
othy ranges from fair to good. Winter
wheat and rye is ripening and harvest
ing will begin in the southern counties
on or before the eighth. Oats and
barley are also beginning to turn in
the southern sections. AS a whole,
small grain is generally good, but win
ter wheat is badly rusted in some To-
calities and oats have headed short.
Potatoes, truck crops and pastures are
still in good condition, but rain would
be beneficial and is badly needed in
some localities.-Geo. NJ. Chapel, di-
rector.

MURDER IS SOLVED
BY MANS CONFESSION

Mason City, July e.-Sam Bigoveta.
the Italian held as the alleged murder
er of Tony Mantasia, a fellow country
man, who was found with his throat
cut and five bullet holes in his body
last Thursday, confessed to the crime
following cross examination of ten
hours duration.
Much credit is given to August Lum'
bardo, an Italian citizen, for bringing
about the confession. Following the
examination the murderer led Lum'
,bardo and officials to place near the
scene of the murder where he had bur-
led the automatic pistol and long
iack-knife, the instruments used in the
crime When they were unearthed
and shown to Bigoveta, a complete
confession followed.
Late developments tend to show
that the trouble was over money mat
tiers instead of jealousy over the love
of a girl as was first thought.

SEVERAL PAIRS Of
BROTHERS IN ARMY

WHOLE FAMILY.

Des Moines, July 6.-Several com.
panies at Camp Dodge claim pairs Of
brothers." but Company K, Third regi-

sents to Uncle Sam family. A faith
er and two boys, Frank J. Jones OF
Corning, and his boys, Phil and Dan,
came to Des Moines with Company K.
The father is camp cook.
But the family and the company
face one possible disappointment.
Uncle Sam may find it necessary to
break up the united family in his
service 1t is rumored that Phil
Jones will not be able to pass the
strict examinations by the medical
corps. That means he will have to
leave his father and brother and the
old friends of Company K and jour-
ney back to Corning. There is sor-
row in the camp.
Not content with this record, Com
pany K presents in addition seven
other pairs of brothers. The inexor-
able medical corps Monday spoiled
one pair by sending Ernest Schrodt
back home His brother, Arthur
Schrodt, goes on to the border.
The other brothers in the COM
pany are John and Otto Anderson,
Earl and Arthur Gay, Charles and
Luverne Thomas, Glenn and Carlos
Garner, Give and Ito Hinton, John
and Leighton Cummings.
Yes, We feel that we deserve 4
little publicity" declared Clerk q.
Thompson. who is justly proud of
this record.
