CONSIDERING
PAVING CASES
Judge Craig is Busy Studying the
Record Of the Trial of the
Suit Against Fort
Madison.

Judge Craig is busy, and most OF
the time invisible, this week, while
studying the record made by the
court stenographer in the Fort Madi-
son paving cases.
Contractors built miles of street in
Fort Madison, and then were refused
nav for it. They sued the mayor and
aldermen, as well as the city corpor-
alton, and the district court Will say
whether they are to get their money
and when.
fudge Craig decided shis morning
that he would not disturb the action of
Judge Bank in reinstating on the dock
ct the suit of the Mississippi Coal and
Ice company against H. w Green and
Others. The defendants had contend
ed that the time limit had run, out
against the litigation before it was
reinstated.

regiments constituted the Eighty
fourth infantry brigade and fought
side by side throughout almost their
entire service. Representing the

new lustre to the flag they carried

We'd in affectionate rivalry in serv-
ice and devotion to each other and
to the cause for which they fought.
Tells Of Hardships.
In the course of his remarks,
Judge Towner told in detail the hard
ships and difficulties of the fighting
in the Argonne. He told of the des-
perate battling day and night, in the
cold rains, and in the darkness,
against heavy forces, against a con-
slant storm of artillery fire, against
defenses as nearly impregnable as
could be made, and in region dill
cult in the extreme.
He summed up by saying: 1T is
not too much to say that never IN
the history of warfare, ancient OF
modern. was greater courage, endir-
ance and individual heroism shown
than in this great battle OF the
Argonne."

"Tempus fugit, and Temporal

Marshall this morning in the Office
of Justice James S. Burrows.
In lay language, the old Burrows
Row is being replaced by big mod

The people who saw the Burrows
Row built never imagined gas en-

graph line fifty miles long that sent
ten words q minute over two wires

Originally, 1t was a big building
with stores on the street floor and

and was a part of the remarkable

Black Friday, 1857.
Good People for Tenants.
There never were any well known
stores in it's first story, for the panic
came too soon after it's completion.
The apartments were occupied by

some families still well known In
Keokuk lived there for awhile.
