Street Fight at PrOtivin.

Last Saturday Sheriff Campbell was
called to ProtOvin by the local
authorities who informed him that a
street fight had occurred there the
night before and that one of the
principals was in critical condition
from the effect of injuries received
The fight took place on the main street
late Friday night and there were no
witnesses. The sheriff found both
men pretty well cut up, and as it
was thought John Bilek's injuries
might prove fatal. Frank Polanski
was brought to Cresco and lodged in
Jail. A long deep cut under Bilek's
right arm was the most serious injury,
but both men were completely
decorated with cuts and scratches and
the sidewalk where the men struggled
was covered with blood. Jack knives
were the weapons used. Neither
party will give any details of the
affair, except each insists that the
other was the aggressor. Bilek at
latest accounts is recovering, and
since there is no complaint made by
tile Protovin authorities and the
principals have no desire to renew
hostilities the matter will probably
be dropped. -CrescO Times.

Death in Gas Explosion.

An explosion and fire at Cedar Falls
Tuesday morning completely destroyed
the gas plant just put in and killed
two of the employees, James M. Doris,
foreman, and Gus Seibert, gas filter
1t is not known what the cause of the
explosion was, but it is supposed that
a new connection was being made and
in some way a leak was responsible
for the catastrophe. The plant was
one that was being provided to supply
the people of that place with illumin-
ating gas and for cooking purposes.
The loss is estimated to be at least
$40. 900.

bruises, but two days later she was
siezed with complication of portion
tits and pneumonia and for seven
weeks she has been lowering between
life and death.

Find a Loaded Gas Pipe.

A plot to blow up the creamery at
Grafton, this state, by means of a
bomb, was discovered Monday by Fred
VAIL, one of the employees of the con-
Germ. The bomb was a two-foot
length of gas pipe loaded with a
charge of nitroglycerin sufficient in
quantity to wreck not only the
creamery building, but almost the
entire village. A partly burned fuse
was found protuding from hole in
the side of the bomb which indicated
that the murderous attempt had
miscarried. What makes the escape
almost miraculous is from the fact
that VAIL, who was in need of a piece
of gas pipe, had gone outside the
building and discovered this, brought
it inside and placed it in wise and
was in the act of saving the pipe in
two when Buttermaker Ford called
his attention to the peculiar character
of the pipe. Over either end a
OdP OCCh otiONOo Ou. Inns fhAAN
the aperture in the middle attracted
Ford's attention. The discovery of
the real nature followed. Both men
at once retreated from the building in
a panic and at once secured expert
handlers of the deadly explosive, and
it was soon placed where no harm will
result The pipe, which measured
two feet in length and one and half
inches in diameter, was full of
nitroglycerin and wadding. They
have procured detectives who will
work on the case and perhaps some
discoveries may result. There has
been considerable ill feeling since the
establishment of the creamery, but it
was not thought that it had reached
any such proportions.

The Judges little daughter although
she had talked several times through

gone through the formalites necessary

Little GIRL Saves Train.

While walking along the @. M. & st.
p. railroad track to school mile
above Harper's Ferry, Josie Martell,
girl 10 years oil 1, found that piece
of rail about two feet long had been
broken out of the track. She imme-
diatly ran for assistance and the north
bound passenger train. due in half an
hour, was tagged. The train con-
tanned a theatrical troupe in four
cars. The track hugs close to the
river at the point and had the train
been derailed would probably have
been thrown into the river.

Well diggers near Marshalltown are
surprised to find petrified trees buried
twenty or more feet below the surface
so well preserved that the grain of the
wood is clearly evident when cross
sectioned. Similar remains were found
in this section by the well diggers
of forty years ago, and were then
attributed to drifts caused by high
waters when streams like the Upper
Iowa had water levels fifteen to twenty
feet above any high water marks we
know anything of. Nashua Post.

A passenger coach on the Elkader
branch was discovered on fire at FL

as water was not procurable in suffi-

flames the car was totally destroyed.

not be extingulshed the car was I'M

some distance from the other cars and
allowed to burn and in the morning
the trucks and other iron work of the
burned car were removed from the
track to allow the branch train to pro-
coed to North McGregor. 1t is not
known how the fire originated.

A large number of the buttons now
in use, purporting to be made out Of
horn or bone or ivory, are in reality
made ont of the common potato,
which, when treated with certain
acids, becomes almost as hard as
stone. This quality of the potato
adapts it to button making, and a
very good grade of buttons is now
made from the we'll known tuber. The
potato button cannot be distinguished
from others save by careful examin-
alton, and even then only by an ex-
pert, since they are colored to suit the
goods on which they are to be used
and are every whit as good look
ing as button of bone or ivory.
