The lease of trackage by the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern from
the Great Western, that the former
road may get into Mason City has
been announced, which has definitely
settled the much debated question as
to how the new road would find its
way to the business part Of the city.
A little more than a mile of the Great
Western tracks had been leased, which
will give the Short Line trains easy
access to the Milwaukee depot, where

Hardships endured by William A.
Sutherland when he covered the trail
from Thermopolis, Wyo., to Council
Bluffs in covered wagon that he
might win Edith Abood for his wife,
has caused a nervous breakdown
which threatened his life, and he has
gone to southern California to recup-
crate. His bride, to whom he was
married in the prairie schooner after
reaching Council Bluffs, made the trip
to Council Bluffs overland-just as
her father had done-a condition up
on her hand in marriage. Sutherland
was taken i'll soon after the wedding
business. For a time his life was
despaired of, but he recovered suf-
ficiently to take the trip west.
Alfred Brenneman, well to do
business who recently came to Chart.
ton from Leon, committed suicide be-
cause of domestic difficulties. He
was found dead in his room by his
little 7-year-old daughter, who went
to call him for his nights work in
his restaurant. a bottle that had con-
tanned carboric acid and a letter to
his wife explained his death. Prem
neman was very jealous of his wife
and quarreled with her frequently.
Some time ago she filed for divorce,
but it was not pushed and they tried
to live together again. He grieved
over these and his letters deal
largely with them. In his letter the
dead man asked his wife to take good
care of their three children and 70
give the baby boy his gold watch.
Over 300 boy police were sworn in
for duty on the 4th by Chief Of
Police George H. Richmond of Coun-
ell Bluffs, as has been his usual
custom for the past four years. Each
year the number of lads who apply
for positions on the force for fourth
of July duty has increased, and the
amount of mischief ordinarily COM
mitted by young America on that
day has been reduced to minimum.
The boys were on duty all day and
evening, and in few days they will
receive their reward in the shape of
% cents each, and in addition will be
treated to a feast at the police sta
ton provided from the police fund.
Bright badges and tin stars, together
with small clubs in some instances,
constitute their badges of authority.
