i Madrid.
Guy Rankin while on an automobile
trip near Madrid. some distance from
Des Moines, last week had the novel
experience Of chasing a wolf. Bre'r
Wolf was coming toward the automn-
bile when it topp knoll. He turned
back and started to run about ten rods
in front Of the machine. Mr.. Rankin
speeded up and the animal tried TO
jump barber wire fence. but the wire
threw it back to the road. Then Mr..
Wolf took up the race again until the
pace grew too hot for him and he
vaulted the fence into meadow. Mr.
Rankin Informed nearby farmer that
the wolf was his for the killing The
farmer said he had no gun. He also
declared that the Boone river bottoms
contain more wolves now than they
did twenty five years ago.
Perry.
remarkable scene was enacted at
the Methodist Episcopal church when
three young men from Lanesboro were
granted licenses to preach, an act
which is a forerunner OF their enter
ing the ministry as profession. In
each instance they are popular young
business men who believe that their
duty lies in the direction of church
work and their mission in life Is en-
compassed in the responsibilities Of
church work. This took place at the
morning session of the Boone district
conference. The three young men are
Arthur George Peterson. E. A. Place
and Albert Welter, all well known
Lanesboro residents. Mr.. Peterson has
been the agent for the Great Western
railway and has been one Of the popu-
lar young men of the community. Only
recently he was promoted to q posi-
ton in the Omaha ticket Office with
a large salary but he gave up his ma
terial chances for work in the spiritual
field. Mr.. Place has been editor Of the
newspaper and forsakes his editorial
field for that Of the ministry.

The Shade q Son and S. H. Williams
stores were burglarized some time be-
tween Saturday night and Monday
morning and many articles Of value
taken. The Shade store was entered
by taking out window pane from the
cellar window and then taking the door
OF hinges leading from cellar to the
main store room. Things taken from
the Shade store are $1.95 in money
from cash register, two dozen pieces of
jcwelry, including belt pins. collar but
tons, brooches, etc. and some other
articles. The manner in which the
door was taken of hinges would lead
one to suspect that there was someone
beside boys mixed UP in the deal. How
ever. there was over "a in the cash
register and Mr.. Shade can not ac-
count for the fact that only S1.s5 was
taken. unless possibly the burglars were
frightened away before they had com
pleted their work. It IN thought the
same parties entered Mr.. williams
store. His drug store was entered thru
the window In the basement door. Mr.
Williams says the burglars took from
his store so cents from the cash reg
lister. one dozen fountain pens, q watch

have taken other things not yet missed.
