Accused of Stealing Typewriter

A young fellow by the name of
Peter johnson, who resides here, was
arrested at Waukon last Saturday by
City Marshal Tavener, and he was
accused of stealing a typewriter from
the Milwaukee passenger depot in
DEBORAH on May %. Entrance to
the depo: was made with key that
happened TO fit the door, as no doors
or windows were broken when the
party entered. The typewriter was
found at his home. He was given a
hearing before Justice H. F. Barthell
and the evidence was such that the
justice bound him over TO the gnanG
jury under $500 bonds. This he wa!
unable to furnish and was placed il
Jail. The accused boy, we under
stand, claims he bought the type
writer from somebody.

Paving is Progressing

The paving Of East Water street
to the creamery, then south to the
hospital on Montgomery street has
been progressing nicely. The work
is completed from the hospital to the
creamery on Water street. The
work had to be stopped today on
account of running short of granite,
which lis expected to arrive today
or tomorrow. The street will be a
fine one when completed. A new
bridge is to be erected at the Mil
waukee depot, which will add much
to the beauty of this street, and no
only that the new bridge is some
thing sorely eneded.

Dwight z. Doolittle, of Coggan

this territory making a geological
survey, visited the lower power dam

day, and asked how deep the water
was in the tail race. He was told
il ranged from ten to forty feet. He
asked the distance from the top OF
the power house and was told about
85 feet to the water. Doolittle went
out on the lower corner of the power
house and made FIVE beautiful dives
into the tail race. Doolittle is the
first man who ever attempted this
stunt, and he seemed to like it.

of the John Finn farm on the road
leading from the oil well. R. E.
Hazard, proprietor of the pool hall
in the Higgins building in Steyer's
Opera House block, and Ed. Jones,
baker, were coming home from the
oil we'll in an auto. The road was
exceedingly dusty and they didn't
see a pile of rock in the road, which
was being worked, we understand,
and the car crashed into the pile.
The car tipped head over and alight-
ed on its wheels again. Hazard was
thrown out and sustained a bad frac-

a bad wrenching OF his back. Drs.
Jewell and Kuhn were called and
attended the men. At first it was
thought Jones' back was broken but
after thorough examination and
care he came out alright and is
back at work now. Mr.. Hazard will
