a large fruit orchard near here, saved

about $1,000. BY process of smudg-
ing, produced by burning dampened
brush and dampened manure, MIR. Min

Paullina, May 1S.-A serious wreck
occurred on the Northwestern railway
at point about midway between
Paullina and Granville, early Sunday
morning. in which twelve carloads of
stock went into the ditch, and will be
practically a total loss. There were
eight cars of cattle and four cars of
hogs being shipped to the Chicago mar
ket The cause of the wreck was the
frightful rain storm of the evening be-
fore. 1t began to storm about O'Clock
Saturday evening, and the rain fell In
torrents for hours, being the heaviest
rainfall for years. The result was that
the tracks was washed out at the point
reached the place. the whole train went
into the ditch. The train, No. l32, was
under the control of Conductor IL. NJ.
Belt, and Engineer Judd Nelson. as
sisted by the usual number of brake
men. 1t was impossible for the train
crew to know the conditions of the
tracks, as the storm was entirely local,
and the rain only a light shower a
few miles west of the point washed
out.
Engineer Nelson and the fireman
had to swim for their lives. after the
engine plunged into the torrent, and
1T Is really miracle how they escaped
with their lives, but fortunately the
train crew all escaped without serious
injury, except the effects OF being
thrown into the water.
Not all of the animals in the twelve
loads were killed or drowned, but most
of them were, and 1t is reported as
frightful sight of dead animals. A
track will have to be built around the
wreck, which will prevent the running
or trains for at least one day.
The wrecking and train crew from
Sioux City is in charge of the matter,
and it is hoped to get trains thru this
afternoon.

Iowa Falls, May 1S.-This city Is
without an official paper, and thereby
hangs a tale. The city asked for bids,
and the Sentinel filed one of twenty
cents per nonpareil square an Increase
Of four cents per square over last
year. With one exception, every mem
Der of the council thought this was too
big price to pay the printer. and
turned down the bid. The Hardin
County Citizen did not file a bid, the
editor stating that he did not care for
the job unless he was allowed a rea-
sonable compensation. Investigation
shows that other cities in this part OF
the state are paying from so cents to
81 per square The Sentinel editor
declines to file another bid. preferring
to charge the rate authorized by
statute, and unless the Citizen files a
less bid. 81 per square will be the rate
in the future. In the meantime, or
dinances are being held up pending
