CLOUDBURST CAUSES WRECK
Rock Island Passenger Train Runs
Into Raging Torrent.

Clayton, Kas.-Twelve or thirteen
passengers lost their lives and eleven
others suffered injuries in the wreck,
two miles west of this town, on the
w%estbound Rock Island passenger
train, No. 81, which was due in Den
yer at S:25 from Kansas City.
The wreck was the result of a cloud
burst which carried out a steel bridge
over what is normally almost a dry
bed, turning the lattel into a torrent
and washing out nearly 1000 feet OF
track.
The train, running at full speed,
plunged into the gap, and the engine
and mail car went down into 20 feet
of water and the chair car almost tele-
scoped the smoker ahead of it.

During the discussion of the meas

that section of the bill designed TO
protect Iowa and other states from
national interference with the opera
ton of the state board of railroad
commissioners was stricken out. I'M
mediately the Iowa board communi-
Gated with Iowa representatives in
the house urging that the section be
restored and in accordance with this
request the following section has now
been re-incorporated in the measure:
Provided, however, that the provi-
sions of this act shall not apply to
the transportation of passengers or
property or to the receiving, deliver
ing. storage, or handling of property
wholly within one state, and not ship

TURNED BIG DEAL
IN TEXAS LAND
Well Known Des Moines County Boy
Gisposes of Big Ranch at
Handsome Profit.

BY far the biggest real estate deal
that has been closed up in this section
Of the state in recent years is reported
from Morning Sun. William Beck, a
Des Moines county boy, who has PROV
en- an excellent business man, bought
big ranch in iexas few years ago.
There were over 10000 acres, and he
paid about s13 per acre for the land.
Some 100000 of the purchase price
was in cash. He also turned in 1000
acres of Iowa land at $12o per acre,
which was a pretty stiff figure for the
land at that time, and represented an
other handsome profit Mr. Beck has
just disposed of the big Texas ranch
for cash at the rate of $40 per acre.
Thus the deal nets him a clear profit
of far above 100000, for to the ap-
parent profit must be added the diff
ference between the cost to him OF
that 1000 acres of Iowa land and the
s120 per acre at which it was turned
in on the deal
And it is quite likely that the man
who bought the Texas property from
Mr. Beck will again make very hand
some profit on the land. If they han
die 1t and sell it out in small lots, Of
course, they will be put to consider
able expense. and it will take time ant
work, but, no doubt, they also vii
clean up big profit on the most pop
ular commodity in the market toda!
the thing tuat everybody wants.
4 William Beck is son Of the lat.
Conrad Beck, of Pleasant Grove town
ship. The father was born financier
i also an excellent farmer. and the SO,
inherited his fathers ability.
