BOYS SINGULAR MlsHAP.
Cockleburr, Blown by Wind, Lodges in
Throat-Operation Necessary

Waterloo. Oct li-With cockleburr
lodged i'm his larnyN, thus depriving
him of speech interfering with his
breathing and causing pain Arthur
Titsner. a 14-year-old boy from Rein
beck, was brought here for an opera
ton at the Presbyterian hospital. This
queer condition Is surpassed only by
the unusual and peculiar manner in
which the accident Is said to have oc-
c;;S:Ga.
SO far as the boy and his family are
able to tell how the cockleburr came
to be lodged in the throat, the foreign
substance was blown into his mouth
by the high wind while carrying a
forkfu of hay high over his head. to
the barn. The burr was probably in the
hay and the boy swallowed 1t by in
voluntary contraction of the muscles
of the throat when the substance
dropped low down into the throat.
A specialist in throat diseases was
called and found that the burr was 80
firmly lodged in the larnyx that 1t
could not be removed by way of the
throat, and IT was necessary to per-
form the operation known as trach-
eotomy The boy is now resting easy
and will soon recover.

Charges Cook With Making False En-
tries in Diary and With Taking Fake
Photographs of Mountain Top-Bar-
rill Says They Were Many Miles
From Summit.

New York. Oct. 14.--The Globe this
afternoon prints ~ copy of the affidavit
made by Edwin " Barrill, who says he
was the only person who accompanied
DIR. Cook at the time he announced
his reaching the summit of Mount Nc
Kinley. The affidavit was made before
notary public al Tacoma, Wash, Oct
4, and was just received in New York.
Barrill's affidavit states in effect that
he was the only person present with
Cook on the date when he claims to
have reached the summit of Mount Nc
kinley; that they did not in fact reach
the summit, and the nearest point to
the summit reached was al least four
teen miles distant from the summit;
that the mountain elevation at no time
exceeded 10000 feet. Barrilrs affidavit
also brings into question number OF
photographs which Cook has given as
representing the summit and other
high attitudes of Mount Mckinley,
some of which he declares We're drawn
from imagination.
Details Of the Climb.
The affidavit gives details of the
climb beginning Sept. 9, 1906 Barrill
declares that on Sept 12 the elevation
did not exceed 5000 feet but under di-
rection of Cook, he alleges the figures
were changed to 1900 and that by
Cooks ORDERS he stopped keeping a
diary. They stopped the climb. ac-
cording to Barrill, on Sept. 16 and re-
turned to their launch at the foot of

Photographs Fakes.
| Cook, he says, claimed the point

summit was probably twenty miles dis

peaks beyond might show in the photo

that Cook told him the picture was

would not show. These peaks Barril

GREAT MELON CROP.
Waterloo Man Had Thirty Five Acres
and Unusual Yield.

Waterloo, Oct. 14--This has been a
remarkable year for melons. according
to Johnny ID. Jolnson, the oldest melon
raiser in BlackhaWk county. His state
ment is based on the crop during the
last quarter of century that he has
been in the melon business.
On the Johnson farm mile east
of the city was planted thirtyt three
acres OF watermelons and canteloupes.
From this crop the owner has sold Tor
cash S1,s6S melons and his given away
more than 5000 others. The ground is
still covered with the colored mans
d elicacy and the market price 1t this
time is cents each, which includes de-

MINERS WALKING NOW.
Boycott lnterurban' Railway Because
Fares Were Doubled,

Fort Dodge, Oct. 14.-Just at present
the Fort Dodge. Des Moines & South
ern Railway company is up against
another problem. 1t is boycott insti-
tuted by mine and mill workers who
object TO their raising the transporta-
ton prices to 10 cents.
After establishing lines and serv-
Ice to the many gypsum mills to the
southeast of the city, and after the en-
ployes became accustomed to riding
back and forth from the city to the
mills, the fare of five cents, was raised
and indignation ensues.
1t is the contention of the employees
interested that the company believed
the cars We're Indispensable to then,
and so they doubled on the fare ask
ed. Now, instead of making the jour
eny back and forth for 10 cents daily,
it costs the man who rides 20 cents a
day for car fare, which most of them
believe they can not afford, so they are
