WOMAN PLANTS FIST IN FACE
 OF WEBER
STREET COMMISSIONERS RUNS COUNTER OF MRS. DE ZOLT REGARDING BURSTED PIPE.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, August 14-A fstic en- counter in which Street Commission CT Jack Weber came off decidedly the vanquishcd, occurred yesterday when he ran counter of the wrathful pugil- istic attacks of Mrs. F. DeZolt.
 The prime cause of the trouble cen- tered in a burst water pipe just above inc DeZolt houses, the result of 2 strain on the pipe produced by the attempt of an auto and ice wagon to I.ass at that particularly narrow part of the road, above which the pipe in question stands in midair, exposed to such possible catastrophes.
 The DeZolts claim the water rush cd in a heavy stream for matter of an hour and half, during which time frantic efforts to locate the street man about town seemed to result in failure. When Weber finally was To- oated, and reached the DeZolt homo, he made few more or less caustic remarks to Mrs. DeZolt, it IS alleged, and received for his trouble a success sion of blows from a well planted fist, when the earth rushed up to meet him, and he realized he had run up against hard proposition. However, the pipe was eventually repaired and the stream diverted from the DeZolt ancestral acres and confined to its leaden channel and the friction brought about by the burst pipe somewhat subsidcd
 All traces of the broken pipe have been successfully obliterated, but it is safe to say the memory of the at tendant incident are still more or less fresh in the mind of Weber, as 1t was really the more strenuous part of the proceedings.

II also leaked out unexpectedly that several mining engineers who have visited the ground in the last few days gave more glowing statement than the directors aoout the value of the property and the ores.
 The stock opened yesterday at the old office price of 25 cents. but by noon it began to rise and last night the price was 35 cents. In spite of the raise there was little for sale and some holders refused fifty cents on small blocks, feeling that the price would go higher and the stock was good investment at a still higher price

HOW AN IOWA CITY
 OBTAINED HIGHWAYS

lt is not likely that more than a small percentage of the people of this country ever heard of Eagle Grove. an Iowa city of about s,500 population. AL though small it is reached by several railways and Is the marketing place of a ilourshing rural district Some of thc enterprising citizens decided it ought to have Stul more trade, and that the hest way to develop such trade was Go improve the main roads leading
 Into the country So about eighteen months ago they organized good roads committee. which raised over sloOOO in cash and secured promises of labor of equal value from farmers grader, scrapers. drags and the nec- cssary tools were bought and thirty five miles of gravel roads were built The really important fact is that the business men and farmers realized from the outset that building the roads "as merely the first step necessary for
 ood highway transportation So they have organized system lt patrol maintenance for the new roads the funds being furnished by the business men Of the city. While it is true that road work ought 10 be under public of ticlals. it is also true that Well-man- aged road construction and mainten- unce al private expense is often of high educational value and prepares the way for proper public administration. lt should not be forgotten. in this con- nection. that even in wealthy cities like New York and Chicago. such important work as a good street cleaning was not well organized 0ntil merchant associ- ations carried t on better than pubic departments had done and thus dem onstrated its practiblity and desir- ability

Creighton News

The death of Mrs. Muldrow last Fri day night though not unexpected. shocked and wrung the heart of this community as nothing else has dane in a long time. The Muldrows have lived here little more than two years, but they are just the kind of people friendly, broad minded and sympa- thetic-to get wonderful hold on the peoples hearts in such a short time .The death of the youngest daughter year and half ago and the constant illness of the wife and mother ever since gave them a special place in the sympathies of the people. and this, coupled to their delightful personality, made every acquaintance friend. Mrs. Muldrow was a woman of great lntel- ligence and charming personality, and though she had not been able to leave her home for months. the people came to her and will long continue 10 miss. her The floral offerings were beau tiful One was presented by the P. T. A.. one by the Epworth league and am other by the Ladies' Aid. The sympa thy of the community goes out to the bereaved husband. to Edwin and Ruby and to the dear white haired father.

with the national association, the state organization will benefit to a large ex- tent, inasmuch as several fire proven tiOn experts will be sent here from time to time
 That state organization of several hundred, possibly thousands of mem bers is an absolute necessity to bring about the legislative reforms along fire prevention lines that must necessarily attend a move of this kind, was the statement of l.. N. Mckinley. "A few men or local organizations, indepcnd- ently, cannot hope to secure much aid from the state legislature, but where hundreds of prominent and influential business men from all sections of the state are bound together for a single Npurpose. legislative action would be readily forthcoming" he said
 The Phoenix organization also went on record as favoring the creation of a fire marshal office in the state This is to be one of the first matters to be. taken up with the state authorities, il was announced.
 "A fire marshal is an absolute neces- sity if conditions are to be bettered and if We hope to secure better insur- ance rates for the state" said A IT, Matthew.

Since that memorable day in Americas history when our an oestors toreeathered on the bleak shores of New England and there proclaimed their gratitude in uni son to Almighty God for all those blessings providentially bestowed upon them, it has been the GUS tcm of the American people to set apart annually day for the rem derlnq of thanks to the Creator in fitting recognition of divine mer- cies and benefactions. This GUS tom, universally approved, is prop erly peroetuated in the State of Arizona and observance thereof is commended by law.
 ''lt is particularly seemly that Arizona's citizens should celebrate, in the present year. the annual day of Thanksgiving, for harvests have been bountifm, and the pur- suits of industry have been fruit ful beyond compare. In other wTys. also, than those of merely material benefit the people of the State have been abundantly and proViC'entialiy favored.
