was picked up by the Franklin coun-
ty authorities, near Hansell, this week,
the man having been found wander

fusion that he was discriminating i'm

him. He was placed under medical
care and is improving, altho he claims
to have lost all track of several days
prior to his coming to-" The opin-
ion seems to be that it was a case OF
too much booze. In his pocket was
found a contract with a Chicago firm
to take a load of cattle to market and
the superstition is that while en- route
to that city he left the rain and wan
dered about the country until taken

will be changed and Strengthened and

1t has been we'll known fact that

Of the surveys will be followed is not

spot where recent coal drilling opera

between Madrid and the river, and
crosses the river at one OF the few
spotsrwhere high bluffs extend up from
the bottom on both sides.
The other two surveys cross the
| river between the Elk Rapids bridge
and the present railroad bridge, and
II either of these routes are adopted.
1t is possible that the depot will be
allowed to remain at it's present loca-
ton. II the route north of town Is
adopted, the depot win of course be
moved to the point where the survey
crosses the Des' Moines line tracks.
This would allow the discontinuance
of the old transfer, which is at pres
ent used and which is very unsatisfac-
tory.
1T is the intention to commence the
| work of Strengthening the track there
as soon as the work Of making the
western extension of the Milwaukee
thru the Dakotas is completed. IL this
| work is concluded according to orig
| inal plans, it will be finished Jan. l..
1909. This work was one of the few
| that was not stopped by last fails
financial furry.
| Several of the state papers have
recently made mention of the pro-
posed change, doubtless basing their
authority on the assumption that the
! recent coal operations on the west side
were caused by a knowledge of the
railroad company's intentions. Coal
operations have been very active dur
ing the past few months. and have
sunk drills over number of the farms
on the west side. The company's
plans, were, however. formulated be-
fore it became known that a rich coal
field lay undeveloped on the west
side of the river. At that time 1t was
the purpose to conclude the work with
in five years, or by Jan. j, 1911.

FLEE FROM ARREST
Webster City and Humboldt Police
Seeking e. o. Eastwood and Mrs.
Butts, at Instisation of Deserted
Wife and Husband.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Aug. 15.--The local
police and those of Humboldt are
searching for IL. o. Eastwood, of this
city, and Mrs. Butts, of Humboldt,
who left here together few days ago.
and cannot now be found. The search
is instituted by Mrs. Eastwood and
Mr. Butts. ,Mr. and Mrs. Butts have
two children. the Oldest of whom is
IA years of age. The Eastwoods have
no children, but have lived in Web
ster City for many years. and were
among the highly respected citizens of
the town.
Last winter the Eastwoods were in
Humboldt several weeks. where they
met the Butts family and with whom
they established cordial relations. Some
two months ago Mrs. Butts came to
Webster City. She had quarreled with
her husband and left him. For time
she made her home with the East
woods. and later rented house on
East Second street. Shortly after this,
Mrs. Eastwood left on visit and DUR
ing her absence hubby boarded with
Mrs. Butts.
On her return home, Mrs. Eastwood
heard suspicious stories of the con-
duct of her husband and Mrs. Butts.
She played the detective and claims
that she has indisputable proof of the
guilt of the pair. She telephoned Mrs.
Butts husband at Humboldt, and he
came to the city, when 1t was arranged
to arrest the pair.
In some way, however, Eastwood and
Mrs. Butts got wind OF how matters
lay, and disappeared. Mrs. Butts was
seen leaving town on foot, and at
Highview, small station four miles
west of here, boarded the train for
Fort Dodge The same evening East
wood bought ticket here for Fort
Dodge. Sheriff Thompson and Butts
followed the pair, but could get no
further trace of them.

Manley Snyder, Griswold Farm.

in Time
WERE DIGGING DEEP DITCH
Tho cave-in Buried Snyder Out of
Sight, But Grin chubiok, Being
Taller, Managed to Keep His Head

Mon Will Recover.
Special to Times-Republican.


Griswold, Aug. 15.--Buried alive and
not knowing when the end would come
to relieve their shattered nerves and
pain, and being rescued just in the
nick of time, was the thrilling exper-
fence of Marley Snyder, farmer re-
siding three miles north OF here. and
Grin Chubick, Snyder's farm hand.
The two men were making repairs
to private bridge on the farm. In or
der to make the work complete they
decided to dig ditch seven or eight
feet deep, to carry Off the water. They
had just completed the ditch when a
tremendous amount of dirt caved In on
them. Mr.. Snyder was buried out of
sight, in which position re remained
for a long time, altho just how long
he does not know. He lost conscious
ness, and when he regained his senses
found that second slide had carried
about two feet of dirt from over his
head, enabling him to secure air once
more, slight hole being providentially
left in the remaining earth.
Chubick was standing about six fee,
distant from Mr.. Snyder when the
cave-in occurred. He is taller than his
employer and by exertlng himself
when the dirt came tumbling down on
them, managed to keep his head and
shoulders above ground. He was un-
able, however, to extricate himself and
as the place was in an Isolated part of
the farm, no one could be made to hear
his cries.
In this perilous position, the men
were forced to remain for several
hours. They were bruised and on the
point several times of complete ex-
haustion. They not returning to the
house at noon, Mrs. Snyder became I'M
easy, but she did not become seriously
alarmed until after l o'clock, when
she sent her, little daughter, to ascer-
tain the cause Of the mems delay. In
little while Mrs. Snyder was APP
prised Of the situation, and giving the
call of alarm over the phone, a num-
Der Of neighbors were on the scene,
with shovels. Mrs. Snyder had also
summoned doctor, who was on hand
when the men were taken out. Mr..
Snyder was the most seriously injured,
and was faint from exhaustion, but
both will recover in short time.
