Riding on the Walks.

Bicycles seem to be gaining in
popularity again and the cement
walks of DEBORAH seem to be a ia
vorite riding place for some of them.
But the police are going to put an
end to the sidewalks popularity for
bicyclists, and those riders who find
themselves before the mayor some
of these days will have only them
selves to blame, because they know
it is against the law to ride on the
walks, and We think word to the
wise ought to be sufficient. The kids
should be cautioned by their par
ents and the grownups certainly
know better. Remember in the fut-
ure to keep off the walks with your
bicycles and save the unpleasant
feature of trip to the police court.

The Band at Ossian,

There was high old time at Os-
sian Friday night. The DEBORAH
Merchants Band and a host of citi-
zens went over in automobiles to
advertise the Winneshiek County
Fair and to spend a social evening
with the fine people of Ossian. The
band played splendidly as they al
ways do, giving a concert of rare
merit, while the DEBORAH and Ossian
people hob-nobbed together in true
neighborly fashion, neither jealous
of the other, both glad that they
live in two of the best towns in this
part of the country. We think this
splendid idea. It's mighty good
thing to get acquainted with and be
friendly with ones neighbors.

1t is surprising what few votes

Merton Bucknell had an exper-

to repeat. He was engaged in fixing
the gun, and thinking there was no
bullet in the barrel, pumped it full
of air to test the pressure, holding
his hand over the muzzle. The bull
let shot into his hand when he pull
ed the trigger, penetrating to the
bone near the thumb, so that it was
necessary to have physician extract
the bullet, and he had to carry his
arm in a sling for several days as a
result.

HEAVY STORM SUNDAY.
Severe Fall of Rain, Accompanied
by Hail in Places, Causes
Much Damage.

The hardest storm of the year in
this section came on Sunday after
noon, although the city of DEBORAH
escaped almost entirely. For two or
three hours the roar of the thunder
was almost continuous, and caused
considerable alarm to all our people
The force of the storm was eXpend-
ed northwest of the city, and as
far away as Leroy, Mimi, it
did the most damage, where bridges
were washed out and much damage
done to crops, small buildings,
roads, etc. 1t was in the nature OF
cloud burst. AS a result Conduc-
tor S. L. Collins of the Calmar
branch took his train to Leroy from
DEBORAH, where passengers for the
north and also bound this way were
transferred.
Lewis Benders barn in Canoe
township was struck by lightning
about four o'clock while the family
were away from home, and COM
pletely destroyed. The barn was
filled with hay, and besides contain
ed 800 bushels of oats, binder,
wagon, corn shredder disc, seeder,
corn planter, road cart and other
machinery. He also lost a corn crib
and 80 bushels of corn, chicken
coop and chickens, and considerable
other property. He had some insur-
ance, but of course not enough to
cover the loss.
Ben Sanderson's barn in Lincoln
township was also struck by lightn-
ing and entirely destroyed, together
with his cattle shed and seven grain
stacks, one stack being saved by the
efforts of his neighbors, who came
to his assistance.
Mrs. Fife Wards house near Burr
Oak was washed 80 rods down the
creek, by the high water, with the
family in it, and lodged against
some trees. In places in Canoe,
Burr Oak and Lincoln township
there was a severe hail storm. The
river has been high ever since the
storm, which indicates that there
was very heavy fall of water north
west of here.
