across the road into the ditch where
the buggy was suddenly overturned
and Mrs. Hartman and her daughter
thrown out. Dorothy was uninjured
The horse then ran south couple OF
blocks, breaking up the buggy, but
was caught just before he ran into
the Nick Smith buggy in which the
Smiths we're riding.
Mrs. Hartman was taken home anC

to be serious. Her son, Edgar, wa

johnson Barn Burned Down.

At four O'Clock Sunday morning
the engineer at the ice plant stepped
outside to look around and on MOTTO
ing a glare in the heavens went to
the east side of the plant and saw a
big fire blazing in the johnson barn.
He ran back to the plant and started
the whistle of the plant as an alarm
and in a few minutes the fire bell had
been wrung and big crowd was at
the scene of the fire. The fire was
not discovered until too late and the
buildings and contents were burned
Frank Harvey who slept in the
building had a narrow escape. lie
was not awakened until the fire had
reached the front part of the barr
in which he was sleeping and he col
out Just in time. Frank Bailey, limo
type operator in the Tribune Office
who has the night shift, heard thu
whistle and stepping outside Of thu
office saw there was big fire. HI
made run for the barn and got there
Just as Mr.. Harvey was coming on
of the barn. Albert Fankhauser haC
been running the barn as a feet

to stay at home and receive the help
ing hand there, or 20 to Bedford City
for the rest Of their days. Most Of
them stay at home, accepting only
such help as is necessary to supple
ment their own efforts at obtaining
a livelihood.
1t is probable that there is no other
nation on earth where there are -
! many orders and as many members
as in the United States. There are
more than sixty secret orders Of one
kind and another, having upward Of
5000 members. Their total member
ship is nearly 100000, and they
annually give benefits amounting Ia
nearly $60,0O0,000. 1t will be seer
from this that the average benefit is
about $500 per member. Of all these
organizations none give more freely
to the needs Of their unfortunate
members than the Elks, and none pos
sess a better name for good fellow

A Runaway.

Mr.. Daniel Bird was in from Clar-
ence Saturday. Mr.. Bird was up to
one of his farms in Rush county Sat
'urday. He drove a small team to a
buggy, and while coming down one OF
the small hills out that way, the
swivel in the neck yoke broke, the
buggy ran onto the team, and IN a
minute the buggy was going one way
and the team another, the team being
still attached to the buggy, Mr.. Bird
was thrown out and somewhat hurt,
although he did stack wheat the
next morning, but he gave that up at
noon. He suffered considerably from
the fall, but does not think he is
seriously hurt. We prefer the leather
on the neck-yoke. When the iron is
broke there is not much else to do
but get out of the vehicle as soon as
possible.

This is stocked with one of the larg-

for the important part they have TAX
en- in building up the retail district of
Davenport. They have always shown
themselves to be progressive and en-
terprising merchants, thoroughly
honest in all their dealings and by
their strict and honorable business
methods have gained the confidence
of the public. Under these circum-
stances it is no wonder that a liberal
degree of success has crowned theil
efforts.
Starting 10 years ago in a small
store room 30 by 80 feet in dimen-

their business and enlarged their
quarters until today they reopen in
their new home. Nineteen years ag,.
they occupied 1000 square feet of
floor space. Today they cover IL
500 square feet. This is more than
double the capacity of the old store
on the opposite side of the street.
