Work Of Repairing at Cedar Rapids
Brought to Abrupt Close.

Special TO TimeS-ReruDllchn.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. Sowing to a
section Of the Golfer dam, sixty feet
in width, being carried out. 1t will be
necessary to revise the plans for re-
pairing the dam. The break occurred
at point beginning about one hundred
feet from the west shore, and extend
ing eastward fully sixty feet. That
portion Of the dam which went out
was located over sandbar Just what
caused the break is not known DELI
nitely 1t may be caused by the water
working thru the sand. and 1t may
have been caused by muskrats. What
makes 1t seem possible that muskrats
were accountable for the break Is the
fact that one Of the r1anks picked up
shows hole gnawed thru, evidently
by a muskrat. This hole was a short
distance from the bottom, and indl-
Gates that a rat may have gnawed
thru the plank and then burrowed thru
the opposite side, and giving the water
an opportunity to work thru and start
the wash.
No definite plan has as yet been
made for continuation Of the work,
but it will go on and every possible
effort will be made to conclude the
work before the river freezes over.

Abba.
A 5-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs
Mickler had its skull fractured Friday
by being kicked by a horse. The boy
started to Oskaloosa with his grand
father and was seated on a stool in the
front part Of the buggy. When short
distance from Abba the horse became
unmana cable and commenced to kick
and one of his feet struck the child
at the base of the brain. The grand
father hurried to a DOCTORS office
where the wound was dressed and
the little fellow is now getting along
alright.

GrinneII News.
Special to Times-Republican.


Grinnell, Nov. S-Work has been
started on the overhead bridge west
of town. which will be one of the best
in the state of its size.
Teams are at work on the new build
ing of Morrison, Mcintosh & Co. They
are unable to supply the demands from
the present room. The addition will
be as large as the present building
and will give employment to nearly
seventy-five persons.
The citys new we'll is now 2,010
feet deep. All pipes and castings are
in ready for test. H. r. Patton has
been employed to measure The water
depth, which will be done with an cleo
trical apparatus Of his own make.
The defeat of Col. j. C.. Dreamer,
democratic candidate for sheriff of this
county, by the Binegars, comes as a
surprise to the Grinnell democrats. Up
to late yesterday afternoon, and be-
fore Brooklyn and Montezuma had
been heard from Creamer held the lead
by about 450.
Cummins' victory in Poweshiek
county was not so bad, he receiving
plurality of 731. Major Lacey had a
stiff run against Hamilton, receiving
only 81 plurality in this county.
From appearances Grinnell will have
to put up with the mud holes where
the steam escapes our mains, again
this winter.
We would call the attention of the
council to several very low crossings
around the business district which
will be very disagreeable this winter,
unless built up trif1e.
