Navin, it is understood, has fled from this county after first leaving all of his property to his wife. He owns Innd north of Helix and was al so farming the J. K. Montgomery place. He and Anderson were charged with holding up Pat Dempsey a farm hand at the point of a gun several weeks ago near Helix. The three men had been drinking together during the evening in Helix, and, according to Anderson's confession, Navln suggest ed the hold-up, declaring he knew Dempsey to have money on him and that they would divide it. Anderson, accordingly, went on ahead and stat ioned himself near the Helix come ery.

Inasmuch as the officials of the company had pre viously signified their willingness to start a lawn If the city would pledge Itself to maintain It. The matter was brought up last evening by President Tallman who has been conferring with the ladles of the Civic Club. According to the plan of the latter, the expense of maintaining a park at the depot would be very small Inasmuch as the man now employed in caring for the old cemetery park on the north side has agreed to enre for both for $10 a month more than he Is now being paid If he Is furnished with a horse power lawn mower. The Civic Club ha nledged itself to secure this mower nnd to ray the additional sal- ary. At present the. city council pays the gardener 150 a month foil the four summer months. A guarantee from the council or Commercial association was nsked by the company at the time President Farrell made the origlnnl proposition a year ago but for various reasons, neither organization has heretofore furnished the guarantee.

Essad was the Turkish military commander of northern Albania when the liulkan war broke and disting- uihhed himself by defending .Scutari against the Montenegrins through the long siege of that city.
