The business men of Marengo have
organized for the preliminary work
and are much in earnest in their de-
termination TO have an interurban line

them came to the city last week for
a consultation with local people coa-
cerning the 0skaloosa end of the ma :

next tier south of Keosauqua and a
little TO the west lies Memphis, Mis-

been examined and reported fayorably

from Fairfield to Millersburg and
thence to Marengo and Cedar Rapids,
but they also desire the connection
with Oskaloosa and the coal fields to
the southwest of the city.
The expert engineer who is making
the investigation of the line between

the Commercial Club to explain the
situation. He represents eastern par

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 30-The
snow blockade and fuel famine in the
northwest continues and relief seems
about as remote as ever.
During the past "a hours another
snowstorm has swept North Dakota
and Minnesota. From points along the
500, Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifie railroads comes information
about stalled trains and deserted en-
gines and /snow-plows. Hundreds OF
cars of coal and groceries, started
westward during the past few days in
the wake of the rotaries, may not now
reach their destination for days or
weeks.
Washington, Jan. 30.---A telegram
received at the interstate commerce
commission from New Rockford, N

for aid for ten minutes, until almost
suffocated by the smoke and over
come by the cold. Ten minutes after
Butler had rescued the men and re-
turned to the ground, his face badly
burned ana almost prostrated from
the cold and smoke, the tower col
lapsed.
Against the supplication of friends
and relatives, Bufler made his third
ascent of the tower in the face of
death. The ladder reaching the i'm
prisoned men was e1veloped ia smoke
and flames and it was recognized that
the structure would collapse at almost
any moment, the flames having peen
slowly burning away the supports.
Added to these dangers was the in
tense cold, the thermometer standing
one degree above zero, and a fierce
northwest blast adding to the peril.
Hundreds Stand Aehast.
Men, women and children who had
gathered at the foot of the tower and
stood dumbfounded in horror during
the minutes that elapsed while Butler
was accomplishing his perilous task,
shouted themselves hoarse as he
stepped from the foot of the ladder.
AS the men rushed to Buffers side
the shouts of joy gave way to the
weeping of the women, whose emotion
was touched by the tears of joy Of
the relatives of the rescued men.
