STRANGE DISCOVERY
Aged Man Found Paralyzed and Help
less Near Falls City-No Clue
to Identity.

An aged German was found lying
partly paralyzed and in an almost
unconscious condition on the road
between Falls City and Black Rock
yesterday morning.
Unable to find out anything from
him as to who he was or where he
came from the authorities telephoned
to County Judge Ed. F. Coad, who
ordered him brought to Dallas. Here
they were equally unsuccessful in
their endeavors to gain some clue to
his identity and it was decided to
keep him until this morning, in hopes
that he may recover sufficiently to
give them the needed information
that will enable them to restore him
to his friends or relatives, if there be
any.
When examined before the judge
yesterday afternoon he was unable to
talk coherently or intelligibly owing
to his paralytic affection and appeared
to be in a sort of stupor, which made
it difficult for him to grasp the mean
ing Of any of the questions or remarks
addressed to him.
He appears to be man consider
ably over go years of age. Before he
was discovered yesterday morning in
his helpless condition he had nevel
been seen in or about Falls City.

Plan County Road Work.

The County Commissioners have
let contracts for crushing, hauling
and distributing of rock on all Of the
roads on which improvement work is
contemplated and the work will be
commenced as soon as possible. The
road building machinery purchased
last summer was received after the
season was we'll advanced and the
amount of work accomplished before
the commencement of the Fall rains
was small. The road that was built.
proved so satisfactory in every
respect that the work will be carried
on with increased energy this summer
and as much roadway as possible
will be covered with macadam. Il

time until Polk county will be able tc
boast the finest system of highways

was done to property in many locali-

very slowly. There is still large

sown, and the work of preparing the
ground is from two to three weeks
late The acreage of small grain will
not be as large in any part of the
state as was anticipated, and the acre
age of oats will be considerably less
than that of last year. There has,
however, been Slight increase in the
