During the high water last week a
crowd Of men from Big Springs went
up the river to repair a break in the
light line, the water having washed
out uole. The first party did not
succeed. The second. which went up
on Wednesday, were picked out to do
the task, l presume, for they were
successful.
Loren Root and Jack Brown rowed
boat out into the strong current,
upsetting once, but finally succeeded
in cutting the wire and then rowed
back to the bank: getting Roy Caskey,
who spliced the breaks. These three
men risked their lives for the benefit
of others and are not asking for any
praise. This city was without lights
and water for several days and it was
getting back to the pump and coal oil
lamps again, when the line was final
ly repaired.

Boston Lawyer Wins
in War Fraud Case

Washington. July 14.-Anothcr war
fraud Indictment was consigned to the
judicial waste basket today when JUS
tice Jennings Bailey in criminal court
No. sustained demurrer filed by Col.
Arthur A. O'Brien, formerly supervisor
or war claims for the war department,
and David ]. Maloney. attorney for the
Newburg Realty Co. of Boston.
The indictment charged the two men
with conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent of $2S.210. 1t resulted from an
alleged conspiracy to file claim and
procure the money under the Dent act.
Maloney filed the claim and Col. O'Brien
in his capacity as supervisor approved
it. passed it along to Secretary of War
Baker, and Maloneys employers re-
ceived the cash.
1t was claimed by the Newburg Real
ty Co. that this amount was spent on
improvements to property rented to
the quartermaster's department of the
army in Boston. The claim was filed on
this ground and approved by Col
O'Brien accordingly.
The contention of Col. OBrier and
Mr.. Maloney was that they had done
nothing except what was required of
them in their respective capacities.
Justice Bailey in sustaining the de-
murrer stated that the indictment was
insufficient in two particulars. 1t did
not show that the claim was not ba sed
on or arising out of an agreement be-
tween the Boston company and an Off
Ger or agent of the government, either
expressed or implied. The mere aver
ment in the indictment that defenda mt 8
we'll knew the claim was invalid is held
not to be sufficient, especially in view
of the fact that the law recognizes the
validity of both expressed and implied
contract and agreement.

the latest electrical devices to make
household cares easier.
When Harris went to claim her al

appointment.
He is not so handsome as the pic.
