BOY DROWNED IN
OLD WELL HERE SUNDAY
While the statement is be-
made that the loan will be
9aid back at the same rate that was
Seine: paid for the rental of the
MhoQl property, yet it is being
pointed out that while that is true,
i the rental could be stopped at any
time, while as it is they are tied
np for four years, and paying for
something that will have to be torn
down, and at the same time is an
unsightly piece of property to have
on the square of any town.
The fact that the county officers
are occupying the structure will not
act as a deterrant to the move to
push the claim of this city to the
county. While nothing has been
done publicly lately about the move
the wheels are still turning and
something definite will be done
shortly, it is announced.
In Politics
Enough is known to convince that
Charles Bodkin, 9-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bodkin was
drowned in an o’d water well here
Sunday. The well is located on
the property of the Kelley Home
recently destroyed by fire
The Bodkin lad with two of his
playmates were playing around the
old well, when in some manner
the youth fell in. At the sight of
their young companion floundering
in the well, the other playmates
fled in horror. When the informa-
tion was brought to the father of
the drowned lad, he hurried to the
well and removed his son. All pos-
sible effort to revive the lad was
made, but they were in vain. Fire-
men from the city force used pul-
motors but that was of no avail.
The old well had been filled
with dirt, it is reported, but had
sunken back to some fourteen feet.
It was reported to have been cov-

All clues so far in the kidnaping
of the son of Col. and Mrs. Lind-
bergh havec proven both vague and
futi'e. Col. Lindbergh himself has
been threatened in a second note
received in which a ransom was de-
manded for the child. The father
is wilting to pay the sum demanded
—$50,000. He is making a nation-
wide appeal to whoever may have
the child that they “make every ef-
fort to communicate with them.”

When equipment for which bids

Council is received and installed,
that city’s police department will
have every automobile in service,
forty-two altogether, fitted with
short wave radio receiving sets, and
the number of cruising squads will
be increased accordingly to give all
sections of the city better protec-

On recommendation of City Man
nger John N. Kd.v and Chief of
Police O. W. Trammell, the council
authorized bids for -six new auto-
