seemed to hesitate.

Waterman, as ne dashed out from his cabin
a few yards away.
Half turning about, she saw the APP
preaching figure and leaped off.
The Waterman stood Mortified a moment
and, then running to the railing, saw her
body floating in the current along the
edge of the ice-bound stream below.
There was not a struggle. Her arms
were locked in grim determination
Half an hour later her body was picked
up by a boat put out from the City Of
Peoria, at anchor near the Union Pacific
bridge, a half mile below.
The body was taken In charge by Willis
Crosby, coroner, where 1t was identified
by her husband
When the woman's body drifted away
from the bridge the Waterman rushed to
the telephone and called the Council Bluffs
car barn on the compapy's private line.
From there the message was relayed to the
Omaha police station.
Police See Her Float Away.
An automobile load OF officers FASTENED
to the Douglas street bridge only in time
to see the body floating away. a tiny speek
on the surface of the river, 100 yards below
the bridge.
Captain G. r. Barnes, standing on the
top deck OF the City OF Peoria, far down
the stream, saw the leap from the bridge.
With Earl Kirk, second mate, he put out
into the stream and fought against the
water and wind until the floating body
was intercepted, a short distance north
of the boat.
The body was brought ashore. AT the
same instant the police arrived in an
automobile. The coroner was notified and
took the body off the rescue boat soon
after.
Mrs. Peterson and her husband were pre-
pared to leave for California on Friday.
She left the home of their hosts to spend
the morning in bidding goodbye to a
number Of friends. That was the last that
was seen Of Mrs. Peterson alive by her
friends.
She had been in iii health for several
months and it was on this account tina
they had prepared to leave for the west.
Mr.. Peterson became alarmed at noon
when his wife failed to return and began a
search. That search ended at the ~coroner's
morgue when he found the body of his
wife awaiting Identification. He had
learned of the spectacular happening on the
bridge from gossip on the street.

GOT HER LILY BACK.
Two Palisade Ladies Make an Ex-
change at Easter

The exchange of floral gifts at
Easter was a popular custom this
year among the ladies of Palisade
Hyacinths, narcissus, Easter lilies and
azalias were the favorite flowers that
went the rounds. And speaking of
going the rounds, one lady on the
West side received a very beautiful
lily plant from one of her neighbors,
with half a dozen lovely flowers
abloom on it. In the meantime, the
first lady had ordered lily from
florist intending to send it to the
friends who had already favored her.
But the plant didn't have single lily
open, and only four indifferent buds
on it at that.
Il was completely nonplussed over
the situation" she said in speaking
of the incident afterward, "and didn't
know what to do at first Then
happy thought struck me- It wouldn't
do to send seedy plant like that to
the lady who had remembered me-
We were good friends, and | knew
her good taste had selected the lily
| got. 1t was a beauty I argued,
why not send it back to her? Doubt
less she ordered it without seeing it.
SO, suiting the action to the word, |
promptly sent it back. She called me
up by telephone to thank me for the
1oveliest lily she ever saw" and | at
once thanked her for the handsomest
lily in Palisade.

AYERS DARBY'S PAINTING.
His First Portrait in Oil Pro
nounced Success.

Ayers Darby showed his first effort
in oil portraiture at Syracuse Uni
versity while on his recent vacation
to his home in Palisade He is max
ing rapid progress in art, and no
doubt will have successful future.
The subject he Ghost for his first try
at oil work was an old man, wrinkled
but of ruddy countenance, with all of
the picturesque appearance that de-
lights the artists heart Young
Darby caught the spirit Of his sub
ject and evolved a picture entirely
worthy of an older head. Indeed, the
coloring and modelling of the head
were SO altogether good as to leave
little room to criticise. 1t was an adj
mirable piece of work and shows
skill of no ordinary kind He brought
down, also, another head in oil, that
of a young girl, and this, too, was
very good; proving that having pass
ed through many of the intricate
paths leading to the broader field of
painting in oil, the student is fast be-
coming a master. He should be
proud of his record, his work up to
now showing great fidelity of pur-
pose as we'll as execution.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Protection No. Comes Near to Be-

The fire house of Protection No. 4
had narrow escape from destruction
by fire about noon on Sunday, April
g. Some one set the leaves on fire
near the Fredericks home in Cumber-
mede road, and the fire gradually ate
its way up to the fire house, at last
setting it ablaze in several places.
Little Alma Frey gave the alarm, and
a number of citizens got busy with
fire buckets and extinguished the
blaze. DR.. Opitz, Theodore Kemm,
Arthur Brady, Paul Brady, Buckley
Wheeler and others aided in the
work. 1t was a close call, as another
five minutes delay would have made
it impossible to save the house or the
hose reel, which contains 1000 feet
of hose

RABBITS STOLEN.
Night Before Easter Rascal Robs
Lamar Vieau and Junior Jackson

What must be thought Of a thief
who will steal a boys Easter rabbits
On the night before Easter Sunday,
when there wasn't anybody looking,
some person or persons, born without
conscience, creeped up to the rabbit
house of Lamar Vieau, president of
the Boys Work and Play Club, and
thereupon yanked away the finest
rabbits ever seen in Palisade, house
and all. Young Vieau prided himself
upon the fact that his habits were
large and fat, wonderfully tame and
well trained. There never were rab-
bits more loved or admired. They
were the pride of the boys heart In
the rabbit house were many pieces
of the New York Herald" which
had been torn up to make bed for
the pets. Young Vieau played sleuth
the next morning, and by following
the direction of the pieces of the
Herald which dropped from the rab-
bit house, traced the offender to the
neig hborhood of Palisades Park, not
far from the Italian settlement. There
being a large supply of dogs about,
no further effort was made to capture
the offender.
The same night little Junior Jack
son had two beautiful pet rabbits
stolen, presumably by the same par
ties, and he was heartbroken over the
loss. But they didn't get his candy

Of Palisade in March, asking that no
