RAILROAD MEN HARD hit.

Farmers are not the only sufferers
from the recent floods in this state
and elsewhere. Not to speak Of the
consequent stagnation in most lines
of business, the railroads are hard
hit. The same causes that have brot
havoc to wagon roads have under
mined and softened up railroad road
beds. and the wonder is that more
accidents have not come out Of that
fact. Agent Brammer informs us
that force Of Italians and q gravel
train will be put to work on the
Sleepy Eye branch at once to recon
struct the roadbed and ballast the
track. He also tells US that the
earnings of the branch have sunk to
q low ebb on account Of the falling
off in freight and passenger ship
ments due to the unprecedented con
ditions. When things 60 wrong with
the farmer it means trouble for all

Said to Have Welded Miss Edna
McArdle at Mason City
Last Monday.
Steals Away Popular Teacher Of
City Schools Without Asking
School Board.

The want of fully authorized
and verified account of the latest
June wedding, which has sealed the
fate of the only bachelor dentist of
this city, is not to be allowed to
stand in the way Of The GAZETTE
telling what it hears about the al
legged elopement of our genial dem
fist, DR.. H. j. Henze. Unless this
reporter. as well as the doctors most
intimate chums in this city, have
been imposed upon by the sly doctor,
he was happily welded last Monday
to Miss Edna McArdle, at the home
of the bride in Mason City, Iowa.
The bridegroom gave one Of his
friends a tip before going, that the
wedding trip would include little
voyage on the Mississippi, and that
the return would be made to this
city so that the doctor could resume
work in his Office early next month.
There are some strong corrobora-
tive facts which confirm the fore
going report. Miss McArdle, the
bride in the case, had been engaged
to continue her school work in this
city for another year, only a few
months ago. but just after her re-
turn to her home in Mason City a
few weeks AGO, she notified the
CLERK Of the board Of education Of
this city other resignation as such
teacher, and this act was charged up
ito DR.. Henze, and we have no doubt
that he will now accept the respon-
sibility without rnurmur.
That the above story may be hap
PLY verified by both the bride and
groom in good season, and that they
may realize happy future as the
result, is the hope Of their friends
at this time.

Heron Lake Burglars Likely To Be
y Convicted A Week After
the Burglary.
County Attorney Dave Stuart Would
y-sSss
Have Them in the Pen
lnStanter.

County Attorney D. A. Stuart of
Window is likely to establish new
record in the annals of criminal
prosecutions this week, having Sc
cured authority for calling a special
grand jury at Window last Monday,
for the purpose of bringing to a
speedy trial tive men accused of
having burglarized the Bank of
Bingham Lake on the 18th. The
story of the arrest and capture and
the chain of evidence surrounding
the accused men is full of interest.
Bingham Lake is too small place
to afford a night Waterman, and the
ocracksmen who laid their plans for
wrecking the safe in the little frame
bank probably reckoned that the
place was too sleepy to disturb their
own business enterprise carried on
at a little past midnight. Perhaps
their calculations would have worked
out without a break had not an
anxious mother who was unable to
sleep until her boy came home OF
the night train interfered with the
program, by warning her husband
when she heard one of the mufled
explosions made by the safe artists.
He saw flash in the bank, heard
another explosion. and hurried out
quietly to awaken couple of neigh
bors. The three could only muster
in the way of fire arms one pistol
good for a single shot, and they
prudently kept at a safe distance
until after two more more explo-
ssions the safe crackers escaped from
the building. The men on the watch
reasoned that the safe crackers
would be very likely to take the
early train which left for the east
soon after the robbery. Their con-
clusion seemed to be justified when
they discreetly joined party going
to the depot to take the train, and
located a couple of men hanging
around the depot, one of whom
went to the ticket office and with
his hat pulled down over his eyes,
bot two tickets to Mankato. After
the train pulled out a telegram was
sent apprising st. James of the
facts, and asking that officers be al
the train to make the desired ar
rests. The conductor was also put
onto the facts of the burglary.

Track ard 0peSlufAs.

Last Thursday as the gravel train
was backing into Delhi the brake
beam dropped, causing the engine
and tender to jump the track and
go headlong into the ditch. Engi-
neer Butler made q safe jump, land
ing in the water with only trifiing
injuries. Fireman William Witt
stayed with his engine, but fortu-
nately escaped from any hurts.
When the engine broke from the
caboose, the latter went sailing past
the station with Conductor Berry
and two brakemen, until the car was
brot to standstill. The track was
badly torn up by the accident. A
temporary track was hastily laid for
the passenger trains to pass on, but
the east-bound train was delayed
for several hours while this was be-
ing done. A wrecking train arrived
at eleven o'clock that night, and
with thirty men the work of recov-
ering the engine and repairing the
track was prosecuted until Saturday
night at midnight.
The passengers on the FRIDAY
night train were transferred. the
