DEBORAH MEN GOING WEST
WELL KNOWN PROPRIETOR ICE
CREAM FACTORY HAS SOLD
OUT.
Mr.. Dahljelm and L. j. Qualley
Have Both Bought Section
Land i'm Montana.

DEBORAH will lose two good fam
lilies this year, the Otto Dahljelm and
t. j. Qualley families. Last week
Messrs. Dahljelm and Qualley closed
deals for two sections of land in
Montana. Mr.. Dahljelm made a deal
through the j. P. Rodgers Land Co.
of st. Paul, with headquarters in the
Pioneer Press building, whereby he
disposed Of his Sugar Bowl ice cream
factory to this firm and in the deal
took a section of land three miles
from Harlotown, Montana. 500 acres
is now in winter wheat. Mr.. Dahl
jelm expects to leave DEBORAH in
about three weeks TO look after his
land, and make preparations for his
family in their new home The fam
lily will remain in DEBORAH for a
while.
Mr.. Dahljelm will hold an auction
sale of his other property in DEBORAH
consisting of his residence, and gar
age now occupied by John Mccall,
and also eight acres of land north of
the Bernatz stone mill. Look up the
auction advertisement in this issue
of Public Opinion.
Mr.. Dahljelm has been in business
in DEBORAH for IA years and has
made a great success of the ice cream
business, having operated one of the
finest factories in the state, and Sug-
ar Bowl Cream is known for miles
around for it's purity and goodness.
1t is a good established business.
Last year they produced $4,000 gal
Ions of ice cream and 125, 900 hand
rolled cones. The factory will be for
sale by the Rodgers Land Co. 1t is
certainly a good opening for some
one.
The main reason Of Mr.. Dahljelm
selling out is the fact that his health
has been poor the past year, and he
was DESTROYS of getting out in the
open.
Ex-Sheriff T. J. Qualley has also
purchased a section of land from the
same firm, two miles from Mr.. Dahl
jelm's The lald has no buildings
800 acres of wheat is in now. The
family will leave some time this

Auto Climbed Bridge.

Chas Barth, the taxi man, had an
experience Saturday night, that we
don't think he will care TO repeat
soon, and viii leave all such stunts
to the Yankee Robinson circus that
will be in DEBORAH May II. Mr..
Barth was going to the Rock Island
depot to meet the night passenger
train due here about eleven o'clock.
When he reached the Water street
bridge, something went wrong, and
instead of going up on the floor or
the bridge the automobile started TO
climb up the north span OF the
bridge, and succeeded in getting
nearly to the top, when the car top
pied over, turning bottom side up
with care, and pinning Mr.. Barth IN
derneath. He had no passengers. A..
M. Sherry, who was standing near by
assisted Mr.. Barth from under the
car; he wasn't injured in the
least. The top Of the car and the
windshield were smashed up, but
outside of that no other damage was
done.

OFFICE MIXUP STRENGTHENED.
Mount Pleasant City Solicitor Re-
signs. Claimed Office by Rea-
son of Illegal Appoint
ment.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, April IS
The tangle over the city solicitor
ship bids fair to be Strengthened out
The former city solicitor, James
Hourihan, has remained in Office
since the municipal election. He
claimed that he was a hold over"
from the fact that no appointment
was made at the first meeting of the
new council, as prescribed by law, and
that when the appointment was even
tually made it was by secret ballot"
instead of by a roll call vote.
1t has been found that Mr.. Houri-
hans stand was correct. 1t was,
however, pointed out that if the
council did not want him to continue
as their legal adviser, they could by
process of law remove him.
Mr.. Hourihan yesterday sent in
his resignation to the council and at
the meeting to be held on Friday
next they will proceed to the APP
pointment of city solicitor.
