A Good Improvement

A great safety improvement and one that probably won't be appreciated as much at the present as it will be in the future came into being a week and a half ago when parallel parking lines were painted for the business section in North Liberty. This action by the state, eliminated the angle parking that has been in effect all these years. The parallel parking is not appreciated on two counts, one being that it is harder for many individuals to parallel

If you were listening to the radio Sunday evening from 6:30 to 7:00 you might have heard the Quinn Ryan program about Those Passing Years in which he resurrected an < pisode that had this part of the country ill agog back in 1908. It was the shoc king story of B< Ue Gunness who live i a couple of miles north of LaP rte. As we recall the story, there was a great air of mystery about the whole affair, but Quinn Evan and his company put the evidence together and made a realistic dramatization of what he th' light might have taken place. Newspaper readers of that period will recall that after the Gunn-ss home burned down, there was f< und the lifeless forms of three children and a woman, which was supposed to be th se of Mrs. Gunness an 1 her three children.

park than to simply pull into an angle spot. The other is the cutting down of parking space. However, this is the proper way to park an 1 one that eventually will be accepted by all. Anyone who can’t park in the proper fashion shoulcfn’t admit it as this is one of the requirements to obtain a drivers license. Regardless of personal feelings. the new parking set-up is much safer and a good change for North Liberty.

ing to the Sunday broadcast, Mrs. Gunness set fire to the home and made her escape by horse and buggy to the Nickk Plate railroad and caught a train to parts unknown. That probably took her through Walkerton. Investigations about the pig farm aided by Lem, the half-wit hired-man who was himeself in Lae with his boss lady, disclosed that Mrs. Gunness had murdered no less than eight husbands who had come to her with money, through the good offices ot various matrimonial bureaus. Some estimate s of nu n murde cd foi- their money ran as high as 30 to 60. Many skeletons were dug from the ground about the pig pen. A hammer was hei favorite weapon.
