At a regular session of the knights
of Pythias Lodge of Audubon, Mr..
George E. Kellogg presented the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
presented and passed in open lodge:
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased AL
mighty God, to call to Himself the
wife of our beloved brother, l.. d.
Phelps, and
WHEREAS, We teach no grander
lesson than Friendship, AID realizing
that, Life hath its sunshine and its
shadows, it's days and it's nights, its
seasons of JOY and it's hours of sorrow,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we offer to Brother
Phelps the Knightly duty of comfort
and consolation, and endeavor to
point out, through the gloom of sor-
rows night, the stars that shine
beyond; and to advise the bereaved
that we wish to share and have part
in the SORROWS of our friends, and be
to him star of sympathy and love,
from which shall come bright beams
of light, giving life to the heart of
him who hears; let him remember
that, as sunset yelled in night is oft
the promise of the red dawn of
another day, SO may he stand secure
in the love and fidelity of his brothers.

CLINTON BAND OF THIEVES.
c. G. N. w. Men Charged With


acknowledgements have been ds-
sued for the arrest of twelve of the
local employees of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company, who
are accused of the crime of larceny.
No arrests have yet been made, but
it is believed there will be sensa-
tional developments, as the men ac-
cused by the local officials of the COM
pany are all employees of the railroad
company in Clinton.
The men are accused of stealing
grain from cars IN the local yards,
and it is said they adopted very in
genious methods to extract the oats
and shelled corn from the company's
cars. One of these, the story goes,
was to drill small hole in the bot
tom or side of the car, with an augur.
Beneath the hole they held sack,
and as the grain poured out through
the orifice, they caught it and sacked
it up. Another way was to pry loose
board and let the grain run through
into sacks. The augur hole was fill
ed, and the loose board replaced, SO
it was some time before the company
ascertained that these methods were
being used to take grain from mer
chandise cars at this point.

SAVES TWO LIVES; RISKS OWN.
Jack coweII of Atlantic Injured
While Makinu Rescue.

Atlantic.-A runaway broncho, rid
erless and crazy wild. almost crushed
the life out of Mrs. Geo. Birdsell and
her small child at street crossing.
Only the heroism of Jack Colwell, an
engineer on the Rock Island, prevent
ing a tragedy.
Colwell, who saw the horse plung-
ing toward the woman ran forward,
showing tie woman and child out of
danger. But he was not quick enough
to save himself and was struck by the
brute. The man and horse crashed
into an iron railing closing the STAIR
way leading into the basement, and it
was miraculous that Colwell was not
killed outright. The iron railing was
bent almost double by the force of the
impact.
The rescuer was helped out of the
stairway and was taken to physi-
clans Office where an examination did
not disclose any broken bones but his
left arm was lacerated and his front
teeth were loose. His left side was
badly crushed from contact with the
rail.
