RIVER GOING DOWN.

Water Receded Rapidly Sunday-linn
Greek Much Lower.
The Iowa river receded Sunday fully
as fast as it rose on Friday, and to-
day, altho it is still high, has gone
down two feet since Saturday. Linn
creek has also receded to within its
banks. Many Of the lower places that
were flooded by the river have frozen
over so that the lowlands adjacent to
the river are covered with ice. Much
of the ice that coated the river be-
fore the rise has gone out, altho that
which hung to the banks still clings

TREE HURLED INTO HOME.
Great Branch Torn OF And Sent

Z g.
Newton.-While Ira Huddlestone
and the members OF his family sat
speculating about the force OF the
wind. their opinions were suddenly
given defniteness by the crushing OF
a huge tree limb into the room where
they were. Torn from the tree by
the cyclone which visited the neigh
borhood an enormous branch was
plunged through the. side Of the house
right into the sitting room Of the Hud-
dlestone residence, i Itch Is three
miles s,th OF the city.
There were several tree limbs
thrust through the wall Of the house
ON the second floor, but the one below
was the largest. It made hole
through which . large man could
easily crawl.
A barn Of the Huddlestone place
was picked up by the cyclone and
borne forty rods. This was the cat
tie barn. In another building the
farmer keeps his horses. The end
Of this was blown out and several
boards hurled into the stalls, but they
missed the animals, which were un-
hurt.
Other freaks Of nature were per-
formed at the farms of John Killing
where the kitchen was torn bodily
from the house and of Aaron Drew,
who lost his front porch in the same
way. Howard Jacobs had a $500 horse
killed and other farmers south Of the
city suffered losses in live stock. In
the city no great harm was done by
the storm.

Centerville.--While with serenad-

and his bride at the J. F. Hixenbaugh

his death. The shot was fred BY the

noise and confusion they we're max.
Ing. i.
Young Hixenbaugh, with party OF
several young men, went to the J. +.
Hixenbaugh home. where Mr.. and
Mrs. George Horn were boarding,
they having been married In Ottum-

house and demanded that the bride
and groom present themselves and
rive the crowd treat. Mr.. Horn re.
fused to show himself and the com.
pany Of young people commenced to
make deafening noises with all KINDS
Of modern charivari instruments.
Mr.. Horn opened an upstairs window
and ordered them to leave the pre-
misses and when they refused to do SO
shot into the crowd the full charge
OF shot entering the body OF young
Hixenbaugh. This put a stop TO the
chariyari and Hixenbaugh was taken
home and a physician called. who
stated that 1t would take several days
to discover the full extent OF the In

fatal.
Mr.. Horn is a well respected citi.

teacher who has taught in the coun-
try schools OF the county for many
years. He now greatly regrets the
shooting and says he intended to
shoot into the air merely to frighten
the boys so they would leave, but
the sentiment in the community Is
against him for shooting at all.
No arrest has as yet been made,
the authorities waiting to see what
will be the result Of Hixenbaugh's
wounds.
