week from licking the paint off a pail
that had formerly contained white lead
and oil. Mrs. Walton noticed the
cows fighting over pail, but thought
nothing Of it until later when the cows
became sick. The pail was then ex-
anined and it was found the cows had
licked the pail clean and even chewed
off the wood to secure the white lead,
which later caused the death of both
cows. AT first it was thought the
cows had been poisoned, but the paint
pail told the truth Of their death. 1t
was a bad loss to Mr.. Walton as both
cows were valuable.

was spading his garden with a pitch
fork he drove tine of the fork thru
his foot, near the great toe joint. 1t
went not only thru the foot, but also
thru the sole OF the shoe. He pulled
the fork out and limped down town to
a doctor who applied some disinfectant,
ana thought nothing serious would en-
ste. But it was not long until ex-
CIRCULATING pain set in. A doctor was
sent for and he probed the wound with
great difficulty, and inserted a drain
aye tube. In the meantime the pain
was so great that Mr. Wiley was al
most. frantic. The doctor administered
all the morphine that he dared, but 1t
had no apparent effect. All the doors
and windows OF the house had to be
opened that the patient might get his
breath, and the sweat rolled off him in
agory. It is feared by the physician
that blood poisoning has set In. but he
hopes to be able to avert serious re-
suits.

PUMP CITY WATER,

Proposition Of Electric Light Company
at Hampton Under Consideration.
Special to Times Republican
Iowa Falls, April 90. = The electric
light company at Hampton has made
proposition to the city to do the
pumping of the city water. In each
instance where such a proposition has
been investigated, it has been shown
that the electric light plant can pump
the city's water much cheaper than
the city can maintain it's own plant
and operate it. The matter has been
taken under advisement and may re-
suit in that town following in the foot
steps of many Others which have
found economy in the adoption of a
similar plan for handling the city wa

on Druggists
FARMERS ON BLACK LIST
Unknown Parties File List of $50
Names of People Warning Against
Selling of Liquor to Them for Any
Purpose = Prominent Farmers on
List Are Angry.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora April 22.-The fight In THIS
county particularly in Eldora, over the
liquor question, seems to be assuming
rather serious proportions. Thru the
efforts of the anti saloon league, firm
ly supported by the county attorney,
two of the three drug stores in Eldora
which held permits to sell Intoxicating
liquors, have been restrained from fur
Their sale.
An action so radical and following so
quickly upon the assuming of office
of the present county attorney, mas
brought CONSERVATION to the liquor in
terests of the city and community. 1t
would seem, however if the law was
being violated in this particular. the
county attorney should not be CEN
sured for doing his duty. but rather
supported and encouraged by all law
abiding citizens.
But the animosities aroused by the
action against the druggists seem
likely to result in much dissension
among our people and not little harm
to the town. Perhaps the most SER
ious outcome of the prosecutions has
been the filing by some party or par
ties, whose names cannot be learned,
with all the druggists and persons sell
ing liquors of list Of names of about
one hundred and fifty men in Eldora
and vicinity forbidding said druggists
from selling the named parties liquor
of any description for any purpose
whatsoever.
A large number of the names on the
list were farmers who live near here.
A few Of the names mentioned are men
known to be habitual drunkards, but
the great majority are citizens whose
characters are beyond reproach.
The publishing of such a list would
naturally cause hard feelings among
those whose good names had been SO
cowardly assailed. AS result many OF
the farmers say they will swear VEN
geance against Eldora and seek other
places to do their trading.
In this fight over the sale Of liquor
by the drug stores, the merchants, to
man in Eldora have taken no part,
yet by the action of someone who has
not the courage to make known his
identity, the good name of number
of citizens and the trade Of many Of
the business houses has been seriously
affected.
The report has been circulated that
the "black list" was the work of the
anti-saloon league-that the list Of
names the druggists hold were writ
ten by the official board Of that body.
To put the minds Of the people right
in this matter the following statement
has been submitted by the officers Of
the league:
THE undersigned, officers Of the
Hardin County Anti-Saloon League,
deny having anything whatsoever to
do with the preparation of what is
called the black fist in Eldora.
1--WE state further that the league ais
such has had and now has no relation
whatsoever to that list, and so far as
we know no member of the league
has aided in making the list.

IMPORTANT FEEDER
Will Be Made of Carson and
Colorado Road

Southern Pacific officials say that the
Carson & Colorado is to be one of the
~best-equipped feeders on the Hartman
system on the coast and that after the
Hazen-Churchill cutoff is completed and
the Keeler-Mojave extension Is built that
the road will be used to carry the thou
sands of fruit trains that are now COM
PEELED to use the central line.
Thirty-five thousand cars of citrus
fruits are carried by the central lines of
the Southern Pacific every year, and IS
per cent of this product is from Southern
California. This means that the South
cars half the length of California in order
to place them On the main line, whereas
with the Hazen-Mojave line it car ship
them directly from the fruit belt and
save many hours time, being the most
important factor in this class of traffic.
In order to handle his business the
Carson & Colorado must be put in first
class condition. and it undoubtedly will
be.
The work of standardizing the roa is
only the beginning. When that is COM
pleted the congestion of freight between
Reno and Tonopah will be at an end n
then the company's engineers will have
time to go over the road, equip it with
heavier steel and eliminate the heavy
grades and sharp curves. When finished
it will be one of the best of the Harri-
man branch lines.
