Woman Is Rescued by Section

Mrs. III Reel, wife of pro-
minent farmer who lives fsw
miles South OF Missouri Valley
might have been drowned in the
County Ditch, in the western por-
tion of this city this forenoon had
it not been for the timely assist
ance given her by several section
men.
During the winter months when
there is a thick coating of ice
over the rivers etc. it has been
the custom for several years past
for farmers to leave the main tra-
veled road at the North Western
supply yards South of the Fair
Grounds, and cutting across lots
drive across the County Ditch on
the ice under the North Western
bridge short distance West Of
the shops, and thence up town via.
Erie street, saving by the cut eft
almost quarter of mile.
Not thinking of the danger that
lurked in the thin sheet Of ice
that covered the ditch, Mrs. Reel.
drove her heavy team onto the
ice this forenoon and had pro-
ceeaed about half the distance
across, when without warming of
any kind the ice gave way and
team, wagon, driver and all were
given cold plunge in the icy
water. The team commenced
struggling the instant they broke
through the ice and but for the
ready response of a gang of section
men who were working near the
bridge at tho time, the accident
would have had a most serious
termination.

Miss Emma Ainswcrth.

Although she had been long
i'll, the sudden death Of Miss En-
ma Ainsworth, Saturday., was q
grief and shock to the circle of
warm friends which she had
gathered about her during her
short residence in Moline.
Miss Ainsworth was born in
Wi|liamstown, Vermont, where
she lived until 1878 when she
came west to make her home with
her sister, Mrs j u Ainsworth, in
Missouri Valley, Iowa, and later
in Council Bluffs, from which
place they came TO Moline.
She is survived by two brothers,
g II Ainsworth and III A Aims
worth and by two sisters, Mrs j E
Ainaworth and Mrs w Ii Water
man. On them aud on all her
kindred the influence of her quiet,
forceful life has been great.
Miss Ainsworth had retiring,
but strong personality. In her
church and in all good works her
ready thought, her Judgment and
her generous hand have been al
ways a support and comfort TO
those about her.
The funeral services will be
held at the residence of j II Aims
worth Tuesday morning at 1920,
after which she will be carried
home to Vermont and laid to rest
in the shadow of the green hills
which she loved SO we'll. Her
friends are kindly requs sted lot

done in good style, and after con-

two long tables were arranged at
