One improvement we could sug-

RUN AWAY
The Team OF Harvey Lyle Became
Frightened, Made A Break For Ii
bertY, Ran About Quarter Mile

A runaway of small dimensions
occurred on o"r streets Saturday, when
the team of Mr.. Harvey Lyle, who
lives few miles east of Extra, became
frightened and tried to shake the wa
gon and their driver, but Mr.. Lyle
himself held the reins and soon brot
the animals under control.
While running over the grade, wea-
wing the vehicle from one side to the
other, it seemed that the wagon would
surely capsize and perhaps kill their
driver, but Mr.. Lyle kept cool and
brought them to a standstill down
near the West Town bridge.
Many men would have jumped out
and let the team stop when they pe
came ready, perhaps after they had
run into barb wire fence and cut
themselves badly.
1t was fortunate runaway.

THE DAILY CAPITAL
Doing Good Work Over The State.
Champion Of River To River Road
Project State Wide Improvement.

To the Daily Capital belongs the
movement for good roads and the
booster spirit throughout Iowa. There
is scarcely an issue of that great paper
but what contains something that
someone has said about good roads,
somewhere in Iowa.
The eagle eye of it's editor is ever
alert for an item Of praise from any
source, for the toilers who has brought
into good repute, the historic River
to River Road. The bone and the
sinew of the country, with the finan-
cial assistance of those who could not
help otherwise, have carried the great
road project, dreamed out by the Cap
ital, into thing of beauty and a joy
forever. The River to River road is as
carpeted floer to the Corduroy of
olden times.

orally By Seventy Five.

Wednesday dawned bright and
fair and many good people respon-
ded to the call to bea utify our Silent
City of the Dead. Much work was
done and all worked faithfully.
There is still much to do and we
hope many will go before decora-
ton day that could not go We'd
nesday, or hand in the money to
DR.. Oldsker, Secretary of the Gene
terry to have their work done. We
are talking of having the forest
trees cut out of the Cemetery. If
you have any objections to having
them cut off your lot pIease notify
the Secretary. The heavy coat of
leaves makes it impossible to keep
the Cemetery in good condition ard
is fast killing the grass. Much cre-
dit is due to the men who furnished
teams and automobiles to carry the
people to the, Cemetery and to the
farmere who left their fields In this
busy season to labor for the good
of the Cemetery We noticed many
sons and daughters of tie Pioneers
of our County there at work on the
resting places of their parents.

out and after some explanation the
machines were taken to their posi-

hours more another flight was

something dreadful had happened
His brother by this time mad seen the
straw stack on fire and hurried to his
home and found Feltner putting grease
on his burns. When the doctor said

Feltner is still living although his
case is not very hopeful one, two
thirds of his body being badly burned.
The gun and knife did not do serious
damage.

Padgett Held on $1,000 Bond.
(Atlanta Constitution 26th)

Rev. B. l.. Padgett was yesterday
bound over by Judge Broyles under
$1,000 bond for immoral conduct
and kidnapping. His 15-year-old
companion, Corrie Stockton, Is held
at the police station and a telegram
has been received from her father
asking that she be detained for him.
When the case was called in court
there, was a large crowd present,
drawn by the peculiar and somewhat
sensational circumstances surround
ing 1t. Among them were several OF
the minister's friends, one of whom,
a man named Thornburg, of 46 p
street, near the Southern shops, tes-
titled that Padgett had been in legal
trouble with the girls family In
North Carolina.
Neither defendant made any fur
ther statement than what they said
on Monday, both denying anything
criminal in their relations. Mrs.
Bohnefeld, police matron, stated that
the girl had said Padgett had been
the cause Of trouble in her family,
but the girl denied this in court.
Padgett admits being sued by Stock
