BURLINGTON, March GA terrible
railroad accident was averted by the
presence of mind of a farmer named
Waldin. About midnight the big
bridge on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids

north of Burlington was burned from
some unknown cause. The flames
were discovered by Waldin after the
bridge had been consumed. He knew
that the regular Burlington passenger
would be due in = short time, and
walked two miles down the track to
warn it. BY waving burning brand
he succeeded in stopping the train and
averting terrible disaster. The rail-
road company will give him large
sum and life pass over the road as a
reward for his action. The train
carried nearly 100 passengers and much

BOONE, March %. The dead lock in
this city over the police appointments
ended in a compromise between the
mayor and city council. The council
met and refused to confirm the mayors
nominations for marshal and four
policemen and the mayor refused to
withdraw the names. Later in the
night second meeting was held and
an agreement reached. The council
met in special session and confirmed
four new nominations made by the
mayor. The appointment of city mar
shall was left over for further consider
alton. The four men appointed were
men who took no part in the late bit
ter election, when one faction elected
the mayor and the other the council
men. The new men are now on duty.
Boone had been without police officers
for three days.

greater part of its contents consumed,
making the total loss $40o, 900. a
change in the wind then communicated
the flames to two big tanks owned by
the oil works, and the platform on
which they rested began to burn.
Thousands of people had congregated,
and when they saw the tanks on fire
there was wild stampede. The

better. Patents for inventions are
granted for FIVE. ten and fifteen year
terms and the fees graduated accord
ingly. Trade marks are protected for
fifteen years. Infringing a patent is
made criminal offense punishable by
fine and imprisonment. American in
ventors desiring japanese patents can
secure them through our agency.
