FIRST TO SIOUX CITY,
Great western Extension win be
ompleted There First.


Sioux City, July 5.-From advices re-
ceived it Sioux City the Indications are
that the Great Western will build the
Sioux City extension first that the
Omaha survey will not be completed in
time fer construction this year and
that the Sioux City survey will be
rushed thru faster than was expected
when Chief Engineer John Marsten was
here.
Another corps of engineers is being
organized at Fort Dodge To work be-
tween Ida Grove and Woodbury. county
to meet the corps under l.. r. Wake
field, locating engineer of the Sioux City
entrance. The corps under Locating
Engineer Joseph Till is today at Rock
we'll City and has completed one line To
Ida Grove, as previously stated.
The extensions to Sioux City and Oma-
ha, it has been found by the preliminary
run, will cost from s1,500.0o to s2,0o0,O0o
more than first thought. There are four
crews working between Fort Dodge and
Omaha, one from Fort Dodge to Carroll
the next to Harlan, the third to within
sixty miles of Council Bluffs and the
fourth, under Tubbs, to Council Bluffs
The country is heavy and the bridging
and grading will be expensive.

badly blackened and burned. Her right
foot was torn and portions of the flesh
burned to crisp. She had on a pair
of heavy shoes bought to use while
working in the fruit patches, and the
upper of the right shoe was torn from
the sole and hurled to the ceiling of the
room. where it was caught in the splin-
tered lath and plastering, while the
heavy sole of the shoe was split from
the toe back TO the heel nearly thru
the center and almost as neatly as tho
it had been cut with knife.
Mrs. Mason quickly recovered her
senses and insisted on being helped into
"a wagon and driven with her husband
to consult physician. She was told
that her escape was miraculous, the
physician saying that he could not I'M

current passed thru her left instead of
her right side that she would have been
killed instantly and that the current

AS it is, the probabilities are Mrs.
Mason will recover entirely, with the
possible exception that her right foot
may be permanently crippled.

State Center at midnight of July 4, re-
sulting in the destrucs on of sergeants
livery barn and eight head of horses,
and NJ NJ. Bishops flour warehouse and
his oil mill and paint warehouse. The
total loss will reach above $4,000 with
little insurance. Among the horses
burned were two stations, one valued at
$500 and SO, 600.
1t is supposed that sparks ignited the
hay in the loft of the barn. as within a
few minutes the whole upper portion of
the building was ablaze. Before the
horses or vehicles and other contents
could be rescued the fire had comuni-
Gated to the stalls and lower floor. From

with their contents. In one of the ware
houses were stored 700 sacks of flour
\ and quantity of sugar and other ar
ticles. In the second one was u stock OF
paints and oils.
Mr.. Sergeant's loss will be in the
lieighborhood of $1,000. with no insur-
ance. The valuable Percheron stallion
burned was the property of the Norman
horse company. The animal was in
sured. Among the other horses burned
was the coach horse of Mr.. Scott, of Co
