o. NJ. Elliott, a Topeka real estate
man, today faced a jury in Judge
George H. Whitcomb's division of the
district court charged with grand
larceny by j. A. Stevens. a Kansas City

negro bending over him. Later,
Stevens claimed, he found that three
$50 bills which he says he had in his
pocket were missing.
Stevens is a Spanish american war
veteran and has employed his old COM

the county attorneys office in the
prosecution of Elliott. Elliott has an

her mouth is correspondingly large,
Those who saw her attired for her
walk describe her as wearing a plain,
henna colored hat navy blue tri-
colette gown and plain tailored coat
of cravanette color.
Her speaking voice is clear and COM
pellingly beautiful in tone. Her Eng

According to news dispatch
sent out from the city of Green Bay,
Wisconsin cities will do no paving
in 1920, unless the state legislature,
in a special session, votes to repeal
new paving law enacted at the
last session, and puts into force the
old law. Paving operations APP
proximatiug 81 900, 900 are pro
posed by cities throughout the state
and none of this extensive program
will be undertaken if the law is not
amended.
The obstacle to building paw
ments this year is that the new law
requires cities to pay contractors
in cash. The old law allowed the
cities to issue paving certificates,
upon which COntractorsc could obtain
their money from banks. Cities
were required under the old law to
bond for only the cost of paving
street intersections. Many cities
are so near to their bonded limit
that they cannot issue bonds for
paving work. In the case of the
city of Green Bay the proposed
street Improvements will cost S375,- =
900 and bonding for that amount
is out of the question, if the city is
to do other important Improvement
work.

council which has served the city
the past two years and also Hur-

the council cauvassed the votes cast
at the recent election for city of,
fices and for aldermen. A petition
for a recount of the votes cast in
the Second ward for aldermen was
filed by Chas. Castagna, one of the
candidates, who charged that a
mistake had been made in the
count and return of the votes by
the election officials. The return
made by the election officials show
ed that Joseph Pollock had receiv-
ed 35 votes and "a votes had been
cast for Chas. Castagna. Aftergoing
over the ballots the council ordered
that two of the votes cast for Pol
lock and Castagna be thrown out
on account of being defective, with
the result that Pollock was declar-
ed elected with 80 votes and that
Castagna had 81 votes.
A resolution was passed ordering
that the issue of city bonds in the
sum of $4,000 made by resolu-
ton passed by the council at
meeting held on May 6, 1919, be
rescinded and the clerk was in
structed to destroy the bonds, which
had never been signed. The re-
solution to bond the city for $1O,-
900 was passed for the purpose of
raising funds to carry on city i'm
provements but latter it was found
that this action was unnecessary.

On April ) Evancoitch and
Petanovich visited the Chutich
home in this city and Mrs. Chutich
charged that they did her bodily
injuries, even going so far as to
strike her with the butt of a revolv-
er. She also says that she was
grabbed by the hand and her fng-
ers twisted and that she was other
wise maltreated. She said that
the defendants entered her home
at an early hour in the morning
but this was denied by the defend
ants, who said that it was around
10 o clock in the evening that they
visited the Chutich home. 1t is
thought that the visit of the two
men was in connection with matt
ers having to do with the shooting
affray at the Chutich home few
months ago when Dan Chutich re-
ceived two gunshot wounds which
came very near proving fatal.

JOSEPH BARTLETT DIED
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
Pioneer Hurley Resident Victim of
Stroke of Apoplexy While on
Duty Driving Rig.

Another Hurley pioneer resident
has been called to the Great Beyond.
Joeeph Bartlett, for many years
resident of this CIV. passed away
at 4 o'clock Thursday morning at
the family home, 219 West Norrie
street, Ironwood. His death was
due to stroke of apoplexy and
Bright's disease. He passed away
unexpectedly and the news of his
death was received with regret by
his many Hurley friends, although
it was known that he had been i'll
for some time. Several years ago
he became afflicted with Bright's S
disease and it was on account of
his illness that he disposed of his
beautiful farm south of the city and
retired from active duty. But his
industrious nature would not allow
him to be idle and he was the
happiest when doing something.
For some time he drove rigs to
funerals for an Ironwood livery
and he was on one of these trips
when stricken with the maladv
which proved fatal. He drove a
rig to the Newport location and
while on this duty became critically
Ill and was removed to his home.
Just two days before his death he
was in Hurley and visited the of
fee of Daniel Reid to attend to
business matters.
The deceased was one of those
sturdy pioneers who settled in Hur-
ley when the village was just gett-
ing start. His wife accompanied
him and together they conducted a
boarding house in a building on
the corner of Silver street and
Second avenue on the site now oc-
cupied by Costello's building and
which was destroyed in the FIRE that
wiped out the village soon after it
got started. Later he erected the
building on Silver street on the
west bank of the Montreal river.
He was in the saloon business there
for while and then bought piece
of land near Lake Lavina, which
was then region of forest
Through hard work and presever-
ance he cleared and developed one
of the finest farms in the county
and Bartlett's farm was known
throughout the district as an
example of what could be accom-
plished in the agricultural line in
this country. AS above stated
illness compelled him to give up
the duties of a farmer and it was
with great regret that he sold the
farm about FIVE years ago. He also
sold the building on lower Silver
street at that time. He then pur
chased residence on Norrie street
in Ironwood and has resided there
since.
The deceased was a native of
Canada and was born at Joliet. He
was 63 years old and besides his
wife leaves two daughters, Mrs.
Maude Foster, who teaches school
at Keewatin, MINI, and Evelyn,
at home, three brothers, Frank of
Ironwood ard John and James Bart
lett of New York. He was mem
Der Of the Hurley lodge of the
Modern Woodmen of America and
of the Maccabee order. Funeral
arrangements were withheld pend
ing the arrival of Mrs. Foster.
