USE L|FELESS BODY AS SHIELD
Two Bandits Prop Corpse of Town
Marshal in Window of School,
house After Being Cornered.

Fort Dodge, Ia.-Two bandits who
had blown open and robbed a
postoffice safe at Patton when corner
ed in a schoolhouse propped the body
of town Marshal Busby in the win
dow of the school and used it as a
shield against the bullets of the posse
that beesiged them. The blowing of
the safe was heard by many men in
the town and they Immediately start
ed in pursuit of the bandits who left
the town in an automobile. Posses
secured the country in all directions
and when Busby and his followers
came to the schoolhouse he started
in the door. Half way in he was met
by volley of shots and fell lifeless.
His body was then dragged to the win
dow and used as a shield. Soon the
members of the posse were reinforced
and in few minutes one of the rob-
bers was riddled with bullets while
the other had his leg shattered.

PRODUCING FARM HOMES
GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION PROF.
EcTS A SUCCESS.
Canal Systems Already Constructed
by United States Have a Total
Length of 5,621 Miles.

Washington, d. CA statement
Of the vast extent and success of
the governments irrigation projects
was made by G. ]. Blanchard, statis-
tician of the reclamation service,
back from tour of inspection.
"At present there are 2S projects
in various stages of construction"
said Blanchard. "The total acreage
involved is' 100000, which will pro-
vide homes for approximately 100000
persons on farms, and an equal num-
ber in cities, towns and villages with
in this neighborhood. The total area
now under irrigation is 100000 acres.
The canal systems constructed have
a total length of 5,621 miles. Placed
end to end they would reach from
New York City to San Francisco and
back to New Orleans. The investment
of the government in the projects now
under construction is 62,20S,000. The
total computed cost of these projects
when completed is $145,000,000 The
total value of all the lands under these
projects when irrigated will exceed
1926, 100000. These lands are virtu-
ally mortgaged to the government to
repay the cost of the irrigation sys-
TENS. The question, Can a merchant,
lawyer, doctor or other professional
man succeed as farmer in the west?'
has always been answered: given good
health, a small capital to make start,
and willingness to work, the answer
in most cases is Yes"

FIGHT WITH CANN|BALS.
SHIPS CREW TELL OF REMARK
ABLE STRUGGLE.
Drive OFF One Hundred War Canoes
Filled With Naked Men With
Steam From Boats Engines.

New York City.-After fighting Off
100 war canoes full of cannibals
while aground on a coral reef at the
Womazi Islands, German East Africa,
the British steamship Kasenga has
just arrived here. From the day she
sailed from New York many months
ago with a cargo of 160 mules and
five locomotives until she reached
Sandy Hook on her return, the Ka-
senga's voyage was one long series
of thrilling adventures. Five days
out from New York heavy gale
smashed the mule pens and all the
mules ran loose around the heaving
decks, a number being swept over
board.
On December 30, Capt. A. w. Dobbs
in command fell down an elevator
shaft at Capetown and was killed.
While proceeding along the coast of
German East Africa the Kasenga ran
aground at a. m. on January 2S. 1t
was raining and foggy and Chief Off
Ger Wooster did not get bearings un-
til he saw a coral reef sticking out
of the water. The reef was between
two of the Womazi islands. The
islands were apparently uninhabited
but Wooster found them to be filled
with birds and game. He shot a
springbok. Half an hour before high
tide 100 war canoes filled with naked
cannibals padded swiftly toward the
Kasenga. Each canoe held so men.
On these islands the crew and pss-
sengers of French mail boat were
clubbed to death ten years ago.
Mindful of this massacre the crew Of
the Kasenga lined up with high pres
sure steam hoses. OF the 81 men
aboard A were malays and they be-
came panic stricken as soon as they
say the cannibals. When the canni-
balls were within ten feet of the
Kasenga the hoses were turned on
them. The scalding steam drove the
savages out of reach where they held
a parley. Then they scattered and
commenced to row down on the Ka-
senga from all directions. The tide
was full by this time and as the sec
ond attack was made the freighter's
engines began to turn and she slowly
moved out into the deep water and
was quickly clear of the reef. Then
with steam pouring from many hoses
onto the canoes the Kasenga escaped
from the cannibals.
