A party of about sixteen young peo-

from the landing just above the
bridge and near the dam, when the
explosion occurred Gasoline had been
leaking and the headlight of the
launch, which had been brought back
into the boat to see if all was ready
in shape, ignited the vapor. The re-
sulting explosion was accompanied by
noise like thunder Both sides of
the boat were blown into splinters,
all the occupants being thrown into
the water. The wonder is that no
lives We're lost. If the explosion had
occurred after the party had gotten
under way on the swollen river part

have been drowned.

pec,al to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. Twas a
strange tale that Joseph Doycenka,
Holland American of Chicago, told the
local police, after he had tramped all
over the city in the hope Of finding his
wife and her two children.
Look at these" he said, as he pro-
duced the photographs of rather
comely looking woman, a pretty little
girl of Z and thriving mulatto baby
a little over year cid.
Il don't care what becomes of the
woman and her half breed baby" he
said, but ] want my little girl, and |
am going to keep on hunting till get
her. Her mother took her from me and
ran away about five weeks ago, and
have been hunting them ever since
that time. / have learned from bag
gageman today that she arrived III
this city about four weeks ago, and
that she was met at the train by
negro. She must have stayed here

living with negroes, but could not
find either her or the children. Now |
am going on TO Waterloo and l will
leave this description with the police
in the hope that they will be able to
find them and help get my little girl
for me-"
Asked how he expected to get the
little girl, Doycenka said that she had
been awarded to him by the juvenile
court of Chicago. And here came the
strangest part of the story. He said
that after the woman had been living
with the negro, who is now in Gales
burg, and with other negroes he could
not forget that she was the mother of
his little girl and he offered to take her
back. More than that, to show that
he trusted her, he gave the little girl
into her custody, altho his own mother
was keeping house for him at the time
and the little girl was with them.
There had been no divorce suit, he said,
but his wife was living in rented
rooms about a mile from where he
lived, and he was helping pay her ex-
penses.
Finally he gave the little girl into
hes keeping to show that he trusted
her fully, and later ii was all arranged
that she should come back to live with
him. But on the night prior to the day
when she was TO go back she disap-
peared taking the little girl and her
muiatto baby with her. Since then he
has been hunting her.

SETTLEMENT is SOUGHT
Business Men Frightened and Move to

Uneasiness.
Special to Iimes-E.epuhlican.

Davenport, Aug. 1.-THE only devel-
opment in the saloon question today
was the announcement that the state
association of liquor dealers might
take hard in the settlement of the
saloon question in Scott county.
Two or three of the liquor dealers
stated that they had heard that such
might be a fact but the announcement
could not be confirmed positively.
The saloonkeepers will hold, meet
ing within the next few days or at
least before August 10. This seems
to be a settled fact, altho the date for
the meeting has not yet been fixed.
Those seen today stated that they
intended tic. wait until all the notices
had been served before they took any
action as there was no use in calling
the saloonlkeepers together until they
had been notified that they were to
be enjoned
The general sentiment among those
who are interested in the matter seems
to be that the situation Will be ad-
juSted so that no material harm will
be done. 1t has been stated by several
business men that. the way to put
things on a permanent basis is for
the saloorlkeepers to have a confer
ence with the men who are filing the
notices ard see on what conditions
the suits will be dismissed
After it has Nbeen agreed upon then
let articles of agreement be drawn
up and have both sides sign them so
there will be no more trouble in the
future. In this way the saloon ques-
ton in Scott county would be settled
once for all and there would be no
more danger Of prosecution if the
men lived. UP to the agreement.
Whether this will be done remains
to be seer but 1t has been advised by
many as the best way out of the di-
lemma
