Even to the Actor In the

eat, drink or wear, but this time he
was carrying into a residence situat-

one in each hand. There were several
steps to ascend in approaching the
home, likewise there was ice scatter
ed about here and there on the steps
in the vicinity, and the steps were
made of hard material How did ii
happen? is question that could not
be intelligbly answered by the man
himself. Anyhow, setlles mans feet
went out from under him and
the jugs bumped on the hard sub
stance of which the steps were made,
not only bumped, but burst and the
liquid contents glirgled upon the
frozen earth The man still held on
to the handles of the aforesaid jugs
while the valuable, part, the bodies OF
the jugs, lay in broken fragments
around him and the juicy contents

upper and outer corner of the power
house basement. This jots out into
the river as break water-or break
lice perhaps it ought to be called. At
any rate it will push the ice current
far out away from the Golfer dam
wall which will not be struck, nor
lscraped, by the ice at all.
|, All this protection work has been
completed for several weeks, the wa
tier power engineers having the idea
iof the general public that winter was
due to vamocsc some time ago.
There is always an ice gorge form
led at Warsaw but this goes out after
raising the stage of water nine or ten
feet here. It will have no practical
effect on the high water mark at
keokuk.
Apropos, a study during recent
near thaw indicated that there will
not be as much as usual of the sublim
lily of nature stunt in the going out
of the ice here; the comparatively
still pool above the concrete dam
seems to have a tendency to melt in
places and give plenty of clear water
lin the river channel.

Cannot Locate Tunnels.

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 81
There is a legend that a tunnel or
a series of tunnels were constructed
by the monks that erected the Ala
mo mission in San Antonio and the
other missions near the city during
the early part of tie eighteenth
century connecting the Alamo with
each of the other church buildings.
Repeated search has been made for
this tunnel VIXEN excavating for new
buildings in the city, but no trace
of it has been found. 1t RAY be
only myth, but many persons be-
lieve firmly such an underground
passage exists In the work of re.
storing the Alamo church building
to its former appearance excavations
are being made to locate the foun-
dations of the walls believed to have
formerly existed and many hope
the entrance to the legendary tunnel
may be revealed and the tunnel be
found in a good state of preserva-
ton. Should such a tunnel be found
it is hoped that stored In it will be
found documents bearing upon the
early history of San Antonio and tha
lives of the monks that first came
TO make their homes in Texas an
to convert the Indians.
