very peculiar run yesterday afternoon
ut Davenport. Starting from the
Davenport Power Il Light company's
plant. they ran west through the al

there, they all but ran into a buggy
standing in front of the Ochs agency.
Detective Julius Jansen ran out into
the street and ''shooed" them away
from it, and they tried to turn back
east onto Second street. 1t was too
much for the black horse on the out
side of the circle. however, and he
slipped and fell, and was dragged
about thirty feet before the other
horse brought mp against the curb in
front of the Why. When he was
fished out from under the front axle

OLD SAWS.

Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold Good

A man convinced against his will is OF

that badly smashed. A friend came
in to see me some time ago while
was in bed with nervous prostration,
The physician had strictly forbidden
me to use coffee, and had tried lit

way it was served, it tasted so fat

and occasionally drank a cup of coffee,
althOrgh each time L suffered for it.
During her conversation, she asked
me why didn't try Postum. "Oh, "
I said, Il have tried that. but it's no
| use, l can't drink it, She laughed
out loud and said, Why, my dear,
you have been imposed upon. If you
once have Postum made right, you
will be in love with it from that time
on" / listened to her with little in
terest and much incredulity, but she
kept on insisting.
Shortly after, when L recovered 4
little, l was visiting friends house,
who asked me if would like a cup of
Postum, and when it was served it
tasted no better than mine had. so you

Saturday afternoon, the first one
of the Mobiles county boys Leon Nc
Keever returned home. Will Ken
nedy and D. w. Kerr came Sunday
and Hugh Worden passed through
here on his way to Paulina, Ia, where
his parents are, Sunday night. Harry
Thorn was to come Monday after
noon.
Tho boys have all been through an
experience seldom equaled and from
what can be learned few of them ever
care for any more of it. All of them
confirm the daily press reports in
details.
Mr.. McKeeyer saw Leo Dewey, Gus
Lindquist, Thompson and Bass in
San Francisco. Dewey has been pro-
noted to Sergeant, but when he takes
his place in tho field will probably

leave for the Philippines about the

False Alarm.

Wednesday morning Thos. Cole
man, driver for DR.. J. r. Conway, ap-
peared at his employees residence
early and in hasty manner, stating
that the doctors road wagon had
been stolen. They poth came up
town and to the barn where the ve-
hicle was kept, also at once enlisted
the services of the deputy sheriff for
a search. The direction was discov-
cred by the soft earth and the foot
prints of a man were measured af-
ter which all started on a hunt, be.
fore going far, but the report that
the vehicle had been stolen had
gained circulation, they discovered a
party coming toward the n with tue
wagon, he had been using it before
and on account of immediate want
had taken it without giving notice.

DA8TARDlY TRICK
Horse and Harness Cut to
5 Pieces.

Monday night some miscreant on
tered the barn Of Frank Lane and
slashed his horse with q knife and
cut two harness to pieces.
Tuesday morning when Mr.. Lane
went to the barn he found the door
open. It was customary to lock the
door 50 the barn was easily entered.
There were three horses in the barn
and the one in front of the door was
injured. On one side two or three
slashes were made, one Of them deep
enough so the intestines were visible.
The gashes were two or three inches
long. The animal bled considerable.
The wounds were bandaged up and
the animal is in q very sore condition,
The lines, tugs, brides and other
parts of two harness were cut in var
ious ways. Parts of them were found
outside of the barn on the ground.
Mr.. Lane has no knowledge or sus-
picion of who the party can be that
would do such a contemplate trick.
At least it is pretty poor way to
get even with person if the act was
committed in revenge.
