Brave Rescue Of Dog.


For riskinS his life to save dog.
Piermaster Bennett of Rhyl, Wales,
has just been presented with diplo-
ma from the P. C. A. society. A collie
dog got into the water at the head
Of Rhyl pier, and all attempts to in
duce 1t to land were futile. Despite
the darkness and heavy tide Ben
nett went Gown one OF the columns of
the pier to the waters edge by means
Of rope. Even then he could not
reach the dog, but by another young
man hanging over the pier and thus
lengthening the rope, Bennett was
nble to reach the dog, which was in a
very exhausted condition. He was in
perilous position for about three
quarters of an hour, and had to hang
on by one arm to the ironwork while
he lifted the dog out OF the water
with his other arm.

BURLINGTON CENTER
FOR ANTI-TOXIN
VIII be Made Distributing Point for
County, Supply Coming From
Pennsylvania.

The state board IF health has made
Burlington the center or distributing
point for anti-toxin in Des Moines
county. Speaking of this article used
IN fighting diphthria, the Burlington
Gazette says
Dr. A.. C. Moerke returnec from Des
Molnes this morning after attending
the state board meeting, He reports
that the state has contracted with the
Alexandria company of Marietta, Pa.
for supplying anti-toxin for Iowa This
article will be sold at 60 cents per
1000 units or 1926 for 5000 units
which constitutes normal dose in
diphtheria caes. The former nrice
for this article was from $3.50 to
$40 per 5000 units and at -eas: 10000
units are needed in every case. hence
this action by the state will save the
people of this state great amount
of money. 1t will also save lives as
the cheapness of the drug will make
it possible to use it instantly instead
OF waiting until the case is hope
less. The saving in money is great,
but the saving of life is the greatest
result which will be accomplished
One bad feature connected with
anti-toXin is that as it gets older, its
power diminishes and as each sta
ton will keep a supply on hand which
as it ages will become worthless,
there will be considerable loss in
handling the drug. The members of
the state board make themselves per
sonally liable for this los>, Is the
state has made no provision in the
way of an appropriation.

Hatchery are beginning to hatch and

the Matching trays resemble cranber-

a trip to the hatchery is worth while.
One hundred thousand salmon eggs

DAYS the little fish will begin TO fill
the troughs.
The Eastern brook trout eggs that
were taken from Marlcttc Lake are

Bank Case is
Making Progress

A report has been current that the
First National Bank of this city was
about to close its doors for good
Mr. Hoffman, the cashier and man
in charge, stated this afternoon that
the doors would not be closed until
all the affairs. of the institution were
wound up. At the present time the
bank is not receiving deposits. The
dire ctors and those interested do not
owe any money to any one in this
city and they are endeavoring to
close up the small amount of loans
and valuable papers that are out. As
soon as this is finished the bank will
close and forfeit its Government
charter.
1t is likely that this work will take
several months to complete, as it
takes time to wind up such affairs.
In the meantime the doors will be
open and the necessary transactions
will continue as they have for the
past several months.

Sudden Death
of L. J. Kaiser

This morning the neighbors in the

shocked to learn that Lewis ] Kaiser

away during the night. As the cabin

dead in bed
The Coroner was Immediately sum
moned and upon investigation il was
found that he had gone TO bed last
evening complaining OF a pain in his
chest He made light of it and re
tired about ten o'clock. The time of
his death is only problematical That
he died without a struggle was shown
by the condition of the bedding and
his position. Only yesterday he was
working on carpenters contract
that ne was carrying through and
was apparently in the best of health.
Lewis James Kaiser was born in
1857. crossing the plans to Nevada.

mining for several years. Success
and failure followed his efforts along
this line and in 1892 he moved with
his family TO this city. Since that
time ne has followed mining and car
pcnter work about this city, and i'll
the course of his efforts made many
friends who regret to learn of his
death.
1t was only a few months ago that
his son Robert died in Virginia City,
and this is believed to have helped
worry him to his grave.
He leaves daughter. Mrs. ID. X.
Smith OF this city. while one sister,
Mrs H. F. Smith. resides here. Four
brothers in California and one in
Oregon survive him. They have been
notified of his nntimely death and

Indian Kills
Mining Man

Messages from Searchhght and
Office about 9 o'clock Monday even
ing that an Indian was on the war
path in Eldorado Canyon. had killed
the Waterman at the Gold Bug mill,
just across the i:nc in Arizona and
was suspected to be the murderer Of
Woodwork, who was killed near
Crescent. about the first OF October.
Deputy Sheriff John Howe and
Light Wheatley as a special deputy,
started Immediately from Las Vegas
and a posse has secured the canyon.
but without success to date.
This Indian. Greco. by name. left
Las Vegas about the l4th. by Vegas
wash. stole boat and went to the
Indian ranch about II miles below Fl
Dorado. II told an Indian that he
had killed two white men and was
going to kill the watchman at the
Gold Bug mill, which he did on the
18th. Since that date he has not been
seen since 1t is thought one OF the
white men he first mentions must
have been Woodwork.
1t is fairly certain that Greco is on
the Clark County side of the river
and the Arizona authorities have re-
turned home. after posting reward
of SlOO for his capture. Sheriff Cork
hill has offered like amount. We
gas Indians have been noticed to be
uneasy for several days and know
ledge of Creeo's acts is probably the
cause
Miners and prospectors throughout
the canyon are justly fearful of their
lives and every effort is being made
to protect them. Greco is thought
now to have gone toward the Nc
Cullough mountains south of Vegas.
