The peat plant of the Fertile Clay

Grafton. The peat beds which are near
Fertile comprise an area or SIX nun
ared acres. The beds were once the
bottom of a great lake which covered
nearly all this county. The condi-
tons were such during the time TINS
lake vanished that at this particular
point bed of peat was formed
which specialists say is the finest IN
the United States. Even as late as In
the memory of the present generation
this marshy place was called Goose
lake and could not be traversed by
men or animals on account OF the
softness of the swamp basin which
is now peat and can be crossed at

ages the decaying swamp grasses moss
and other forms Of vegetable matter
common to marshy places has fallen
into the marsh water and gradually
formed the peat beds of today, Scien-

In it's chemical composition peat Is
very much like coal and differs from
it largely in the length OF time 1t
has been subjected to the Influences
Of the atmosphere and in the fact
that the formation OF coal is due
largely to immense pressure. Peat,
like coal, is composed almost entirely
of carbon The quality of peat in the
beds at Fertile is of the very best,
free from all imperfections and con-
tanning no sand nor shells. and en-
tirely free from all obnoxious ma
terials.
Peat burns with steady blue
flame and produces an immense heat.
The number of heat units produced
by peat is larger than that of any
other fuel for the same weight and
volume. One of the greatest adj
vantages in the use of peat as fuel
is the fact that the heat produced Is
even and another advantage is that
1t does not clinker and leaves a fine
white ash. Perhaps the greatest adj
vantage Is in the fact that it is very
economical. 1t costs very little to be
manufactured, it will give a good
profit to the retailer. and still be very
cheap for the consumer. The beds at
Fertile. contain millions of tons OF
this fuel and the outlook for cheap
fuel in Mason City is very good in
deed. 80.

ECHO OF INDIAN MASSACRE
Former Iowan Brings Suit Against

Former Iowan Brings Suit Against
Government and E,annock Tribe.
Chippewa Falls, Sept. 12.-(harles
w. Miltimore. one Of the Oldest engi-
neers employed by the Wisconsin Cen
trail railway, has begun action against
the United States and the B;annock
tribe Of Indians as the result of the
Indian massacre that occurred August
81, 1859.
On March &c, 1859, Edward A. Milt-
imore started with his family and
number of others from Fairbank, Ia,
for Oregon, it being their purpose to
settle in that's territory The Milti-
more family consisted of the father
and mother and nine children, includ-
ing two sons and two daughters who
were married. On August 81, when the
party had been on the road little
more than five months, they had
reached Snake river, in Idaho. At
about shutdown on that day, passing
thru ravine and about to go into
camp, an Indian rode up and asked
them where they were going. They
told him that they We're bound for
Oregon, to which the Indian replied:
mo, you amt" The Indian then got
off his horse, apparently to fix his sad
die. He then jumped on the horse, but
soon dismounted again, and resting his
gun across the saddle, shot the elder
Miltimore Thereupon a party OF
Bannock Indians made general at
tack upon the white pilgrims. OF the
ten members of the Miltimor'e family
the father and mother and two sons
and two daughters were killed. One
OF the latter was baby about weeks
old, which had been born after the
party had left Fairbank.
At the time of the attack Charles N,
Miltimore was about IL years old. His
mother and two brothers and two Sis
tiers were in wagon when the attack
was made, and when they lad been
killed he started and ran ahead. When
lie was running a bullet went thru his
hat, but he was not hurt. With the
exception of three head of stock the.
Miltimores lost their entire outfit. Mr..
Miltimore is now trying to recover for
the value of the destroyed property.
One Of the three head of stock which
was recovered was led by Mr.. Milti-
more, in 1860, from Salt Lake City to
Delavan, Wis.
