Preparations are going forward for
the revision of the fire alarm system
OF the city to make for more prompt
reports Of fires and quicker relief by
the fire department. The laying out of
the town into new districts is practi-
cally completed and signs bearing the
numbers of the districts are being
placed in position on the arc light
posts along the streets, the numbers

know in what fire district you live
and be ready in case you are called
upon to report a fire.

bers run from to 9. The even mum

'FREE-FOR ALL"
FIGHT AT DANCE
PETER FISCHER,S PAVILION IN
LINDEN SCENE OF BIG
FRAcAs, SUNDAY.
PEACEMAKERS GET IN MIX-UP.
BLACK-JACKS ENTER
INTO THE FRAY.

A free-for-all fight was one of the
main features of the pavilion dance
held at Peter Fischer's pavilion in
Linden township, Sunday evening.
A black jack was used and fists also
and as result Of the melee one of the
participants of the dance was knocked
out with black jack, and about half a
dozen were scratched up and received
black eyes. This is not the first time
that there has been trouble at this
dance pavilion and the general feeling
is that this place should be closed up.
Peacemakers Get In Bad.
The fight started shortly after 10
o'clock, among a delegation from ST.
James, consisting of Sigvold jacobson,
Elmer Martin, George Colemen and
Arthur Mahlgren, who quarreled
among themselves and made threaten
ing remarks. Some Of the by-s ISLANDERS
interfered and tried to quiet things
down and this was the signal for the
St. James fellows to pounce upon the
others and in very short time a free
for-all fight was in progress. Sigvold
jacobson drew his blackjack and with
! it felled Gilbert Rustin OF Linden to
the ground. Fists were used to good
advantage, as the blackened eyes and
scratched faces revealed. There was
siderable blood-letting. A portion
Of the dance pavilion was pretty well
spattered up with blood after the fight
was over.
Deputy Sheriff on Job.
About II o'clock the sheriff's office
was appealed to and Deputy Herman
Jahnke finally agreed to come out
there provided they would take the
rowmakers into custody, so that he
could take them along and lodge them
in the county Jail. This was agreed tc
but when the Deputy appeared at the
scene shortly after IL o clock, the guilty
parties had made their getaway anc
all that Mr.. Jahnke could do was te
find out as much as he could about the
( row and how it started. When he ar
4 rived at the scene, the dance was still
going on and continued as though
\ there had been no trouble Of any kind
Conference at County Attorney,

1 The county attorneys office is al
most helpless unless the assistance O

expressly gives the town supervisors

visors has been called to this by thu

to Mr.. Eckstein, up to date, none Of tn,
town boards responded and passed any
resolutions requiring licenses and tn
amount to be paid therefor If al
these dance halls were licensed then !;

Wife and Daughter Struggle.

It now appears that careful ex-
animation Of the bodies Of Mrs. Klo-
kow and the children revealed indica-
tions that KlokoW had not killed the
entire family ~ hut that he
struggled with his wife before shooting
her, and possibly his 14-year old
daughter, who was shot through the
body, as well through the head, also
yainly tried to escape death at the
hands Of her apparently insane father.
Marks on Kokow's Arms.
Finger marks found on the dead
mans arms are believed to be those
of his wife, who fought in vain for
her life and the life Of her children,
when the mad man started to carry
out his terrible deed. Marks on the
dead Woman's threat are thought to
have been caused by Kokow''s fingers,
indicating that she was choked by him
in the struggle before he fired the fatal
bullet into her brain. Blood stains
found on the wall in the living room,
where the daughters corpse was found
lying on davenport, are taken as an
indication Of struggle, as is the fact
that she was shot through the body in
addition to being shot through the
head.
Woman Heard Noise.
/. s y !
Rumors to the effect that neighbol
woman called at the KlokoW home the
Sunday before the terrible tragedy was
discovered, and that she heard some.
one in the house when she rappec
| at the door, are said to have originated
from reliable source. The condition
! of Klokow's body is reported to have
indicated that he had not been deaG
many hours when the crime was dis
covered, and this fact, coupled with the
Ineighbor woman's report Of her call
ladds to the belief that possibly The
banker did not take his own life unit
some time Sunday night, probably q
hours following the murder of hi
family.
Other Indications.
/ The thought that even an insan'
man could have remained in his hom'
after brutality numbering his entir
family, during the long hours Of
night and a day, with the curtain
drawn and the house securely close,
! to the outside world, is almost to-
horrible to be accepted as true, bu
5Isuch are the indications, following de
s|velopments as they gradually mater
fiaIzed after the first shock Of tn
tragedy was over. The wording Q
the letter which Klokow addressed t
his brother, would indicate that it wa
written following the destruction q
the family, for it is quoted as reading
This is terrible, but it had to b

Poultry Does Its Share.
Poultry form an important part OF
Mr.. Westberg's assets. At present
ne has over 100 chickens. ten geese,
IL t turkeys and some guinea fowl.
The eggs and poultry buy all of the
groceries for the Westberg farm. Oc-
castonally 1t takes a jar Of butter to
even things up, but for the most part
the poultry a take care Of the bills.
Last fall the turkeys alone brought
In more than 500. Mr.. westberg
sold $50 worth of turkeys at one
clip to a local dealer last fall.
The geese, too, upheld their end Of
1t. Mr.. Westberg says they are very
easy to raise because they practically
raise themselves at the little lake
that is near the farm buildings.
"Goslings want only grass and wat
err" Mr.. Westberg said. II used to
feed them all sorts Of things. and
wondered why they dropped Off and
NiSu. ILcn someone LOlQ me that ]
was feedin 6 them too much, that
they should have just grass and wat.
err. and since then 1 have had no
trouble. 1t doesn't cost a nickel to
raise them this way. They spend
their time at the lake all day and
feed themselves, and come home
every night. 1t isn't until they are
full grown in the fall that 1 begin to
feed them"
The wesberg farm is an attractive
place five miles south Of Grand

homesteaded originally by Mr.. West.
