Rock Rapids, Aug. 17.-Yesterday
noon Peter Brown, son Of William
Brown, disappeared from home and no
trace of him can be found. The day
was excessively hot and the humidity
was almost unbearable. Peter, who had
been working in the laundry, went to
dinner as usual, but seemed to act
somewhat Queerly, yet no particular
notice was taken Of it by the family.
He left the house to go to work after
dinner, and was seen by one of the
near neighbors and also by one Of the
girls at the hotel just across the corn
er from the laundry, where he stopped
a moment and talked with her.
From here he dropped completely out
of sight, not appearing at the laundry
to do his work since. Peter Brown is
young man of % years; five feet,
three inches high; weight 40 pounds;
heavy set, smooth dark Completed face,
wore a pair Of light trousers, dark
brown striped coat, and a light crushed
hat.
It Is now supposed that the excessive
heat has temporarily deranged his
mind and that he has wandered away
while in that condition. He had just
formed q partnership with his father
in the wholesale ice cream business.
which they bought from F. F. Watson.
He drew his money from the bank and
left all but about SIS at the house.
Not being a boy who was in the
habit of going away from home with
out letting his parents know about 1t,
they now suppose that in a temporary
unbalanced condition due to becoming
overheated he has wandered ainlessly
away into the river, or out into the
country. Searching parties are being
organized to drag the river and scour
the country in this vicinity early this
morning.

Boone. Aug. 16.-At the franchise
special election held yesterday in this
city the people of Boone, by vote of
719 to SO, very emphatically showed
that they are tired of the half hearted
manner in which the properties Of the
Boone Electric Company, Boone Street
Railway Company and Boone Subur-
ban Company have been rum and voted
for change in ownership in order to
get relief The men to whom the fran
chises were voted are prominent rail-
road men and financiers of this state
and the east e. e. Hughes, Andrew
Mcbride and Mr.. Stevenson. All are
well known and the fact that they have
secured the franchises means great
things for Boone.
The vote lacked but thirty-six
ballots of being unanimous for giving
these men the franchises which they
asked. They recently secured an OPP
ton on the Reynolds properties, and
posted a forfeit. They announced their
plans, which call for the expenditure of
nearly 100000 in rehabilitating the
local properties which have gotten into
a sad state of disrepair. thru careless
and negligent management.

ture of money, but 1t will be appre-
ciated by the people as relief from
the present wretched service.
There is current report, and one
which is not denied, that the men Sc
curing these franchises are backed by
over the Des Moines properties. If this
report be true it means much greater
things for Boone in the way of inter-
urbans, etc. At any rate 1t is said the
men contemplate extending their sys-
TENS so as to reach Story City and
ultimately run line which will have

Just what the Reynolds family will

life is not known. 1t is stated that the

it is a safe guess to state that he will
remove from Boone. The magnificent
