Five Year-Old Boy Found on Train
 Is Unidentified.
 When the 3:50 train from Bridgeport rolled into Union station yesterday af- ternoon the conductor turned over to the policeman at the depot a five-year- old boy whom he found aboard the train alone after the train left Bridge port. The little fellow was taken to the police station and was later sent to the Organized Charities building. He was fairly well dressed and wore a mans hat in which was the name of Fred Burns. The boy could not tell his name and efforts to induce him to talk were f1uitless. Captain Brewer of po- lice headquarters telephoned to Bridge port yesterday afternoon and inquired of the police there if anyone had report ed a child missing The Bridgeport police replied that they had received no such report. The boy had not yet been identified at the Charities building late last evening.

Suicide Blows His Head OF.

Fort Dodge, Ia, July &c. John
son blew his head off at Pomeroy with
dynamite. The tragedy occurred in
the Roman Catholic cemetery about
half mile from town. He had been
drinking for several days, and it is
thought he was afraid to 60 home. He
bought a stick of dynamite and went
out to the cemetery, where the deed
was done. Evidently he put the dyna-
mite in his mouth. His head was
blown into atoms and one hand, the
one with which he probably lighted the
match, was also blown off. He was
unmarried and leaves two brothers.

STATE NEWS NOTES.
MATTERS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
IOWA PEOPLE.

Fort Dodge, Ia, July 1.-THE town
of Swaledale has been scandalized by
seizure of large stock of intoxicating
liquors, and development of the fact
that the stuff has been sold and con-
sumed in amazingly large quantities
right under the noses of the good tenn
perance people of the place, who have,
until now, made the proud boast that
strict temperance and adherence to the
state laws were nowhere enforced in
the state so well as Swaledale. In fact
it has been heralded as a noteworthy
fact that large sum has been con-
stantly kept on deposit by the w. G.
T. U. of the town to be used in the
prosecution of any violators of the
liquor law, and this, the people have
said, has had so salutary effect that
bootlegging in Swaledale was un-
known.
Sunday Sheriff Confer and Deputy
Clark made a seizure of twenty-five
barrels packed full of long-necked bot
ties which the officers believed to be
beer, although it has not yet been sam
pied to determine the point. The goods
are claimed by John Roeder, restau-
rant keeper, who claims that the goods
are matted milk and contain less than
one-half per cent. of alcohol. The
twenty-five barrels were loaded upon
a dray and shipped to Mason City
pending investigation. Meantime the
temperance people of Swaledale are
enjoying the toxicction of a sensation
such as has seldom before disturbed
the quiet little town.
