Waterloo, Oct. IA distressing
accident occurred at the WEIGH farm,
four and a half miles southeast OF Jes-
up, yesterday afternoon, when FRANCIS
the S-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hayes of Denver, Col, while
wandering about in his play, fell into
the watering tank in the barn yard
and was drowned. Mr. and Mrs.
WEIGH are the child's great grandpar-
ents, and he came here few days
ago with his aunt, Mrs. Mary Crow
ley, for a visit. The boy was discov-
cred in the tank by neighbor, who
Immediately gave the alarm. Tho
doctor was hurriedly summoned and
as hurriedly responded, it was too
late; the little boy was past resusci-
tation.
The little one was favorite in the
home, and his presence was like a
sunbeam.
Mrs. Crowley, the aunt who accom-
panied the boy to this place for the
visit, is Frustrated and it was feared
for a time she would not recover. She
takes the blame for the child's death
much to heart, and constantly be-
means the fact that she was not more
watchful over him.
Threshing had just been done on
the place and the watering tank had
been cleaned out. A member of the
Family had started the mill going
and it had pumped the tank full.
When the boys body was discov-
cred duck was seen swimming on
the surface of the water in the tank
and it is presumed that the little one,
his attention attracted by the duck,
had in childish curiosity endeavored
to get to it, thus falling headlong into
the water.
The grief of the family is made
more poignant by the inability of the
telegraph company to get the death
message thru to his parents owing to
the telegraphers' strike. The great
granmothers grief is pitible to wit
ness, while the aunt is bordering on
nervous collapse.

MICE START FIRE.
Gnaw Matches in Sioux City Police
Station.

Gnaw Matches in Sioux City Police
Station.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Oct. 17.--The destruc-
ton of the police station by fire was
narrowly averted when six cartons of
matches in the basement were ignited
by mice, and developed a big blaze,
which was extinguished by dozen or
more pals of water.
The matches had been put into the
basement in an old chest, and the
mice evidently had eaten their way to
them. Smoke emanating about the
desk Of Desk Sergeant George Pierce,
first gave warning of the situation,
and by the time conditions were fully
comprehended the station was filled
with smoke.
Everyone rushed below, and in a
few minutes the flame was under con-
troll. The prisoners were in a high
state of excitement for ten or fifteen
minutes. No serious damage was
done.

missioner, e. E. Breese, declares he
will go on with the other cases. He
created a small sensation by filing an
affidavit charging the defendant with
attempting to bride two prospective

saloon. The principal violation of the
statute charged is fishing in the Iowa
river within 300 feet of the fshway.

Last Thursday while working around
a threshing engine, Jake Sproul had
an experience that he will not care to

that he was separated from a goodly
portion of his clothing His overalls,
pants and drawers were torn off both
legs and one sock was also torn off.
With the exception of a slight bruise
on one leg and under the chin he es-
capped without injury. Mr.. Sproul con-
siders himself very fortunate that he
escaped without serious injury.
