Cattle Frozen to Death.

Nicola, Jan. 12.-One of the heav-
lest losses railroad company has
had in years outside of a big wreck
was that which happened on the
Rock Island last week. Those who
were in Council Bluffs during the
extremely cold weather of iasi week
witnessed a peculiar sight. Eighteen
carloads of cattle were frozen to
death, and stood on their feet in the
common open stock cars, stiffly
frozen and dead, just as the life went
out of them because of over expos
ure. The shipment had been de-
.syed by the snow and for Sc hours
laid between Nicola and Council
Bluffs. The condition of the ship
ment was not noticed at the time
but when the stock reached the
Bluffs the discovery was made and
the officers of the road notified. At
small estimate there were not less
than twenty cattle in each car. and
that figure would make a total loss
of $50 head, something enormous to
contemplate.

wINNEsmEKER DEAD.
Mr.. John M. Akers, For Many Years
Resident of Button, Goes
to His Reward.

We regret to learn of the death of
good friend and man whom every
body who knew him liked, Mr.. John
M. Akers, who passed away at his
home in Richland, Missouri, on the
10th inst, from heart trouble. Mr..
Akers came to this country in 1885,
and lived both in DEBORAH and in
Bluffton until few years ago, when
he went south. He was at one time
deputy sheriff of this county, and
held many township offices. He was
a good natured, kindly man, whose
life was devoted to good deeds and
to kindly actions, and he will be
kindly remembered by many old
Winneshiek county friends.
John Mead Akers was born in
Putnam county, Indiana, Dec. 80,
1880. His parents died when he was
ten years old, and he then went to
Illinois to live with an older brother.
When his brother moved back to
Indiana three years later he COM
menced to look out for himself,
though only thirteen years of age.
In 1854 he was married to Miss Har-
riet E. Paul, and soon after their
marriage they came to Iowa, in the
fall of 1855, living here until the
fall of 1904, when they moved to
Richland, Pulaski county, Mo-, where
he died. He united with the M. E.
church at Richland in 1904. He
leaves his aged wife and one son,
Fred L. of Kansas City, to mourn
his death.

Related Travellers From S. ID.

A man and wife, accompanied by
seven children, travelling overland
or rather over snow-in two cover
ed wagons the wheels of which had
been taken off and crude wooden
runners substituted, the vehicles pro-
PEELED by four small horses whose
condition showed plainly that their
rations had been sparngly dealt out
for some time, arrived in town Sun
day night and spent a portion of
Monday here. In one of the "prai-
RE schooners" a stove had been in
stalled and the smoke belching from
the stovepipe which protruded above
the canvass, told plainly that there
was good coal fire burning to keep
the passengers from freezing to
death.
-le man in charge stated that he
was returning from South Dakota,
where he had recently invested all
of his savings in land.
The drouth last summer ruined
his growing crops and it was simply
a question of move or starve, and he
concluded to come back to Iowa. He
was without money or food and he
wanted to get back to Webster City
where he said he had relatives and
friends. His story seemed plausible
and through the generosity of Hamp-
ton citizens he was supplied with suf-
ficient groceries, coal and other ne
cessities to allow him and his family
to proceed on their journey in COM
parative comfort.
Hampton looked good to these be-
lated travelers-even with the ther-
mometer registering below zero

WAUSAU MAN is KING.

The annual spring shooting festival
of the Milwaukee Sharpshooters
society was held at that city Sunday,
and according to the report of one
the local participants there was as
much interest shown in the affair as
their has ever been shown in any of
of the National Shooting meets.
There were representatives of many
states, as far West as Colorado, pre-
sent and all tried their best to put
up the highest scores possible. Ow-
ing to a high wind prevailing through
out the entire shooting, the scores at
tanned were not as high as they would
have proven under more favorable
weather conditions. Paul Weinkauf
and Otto Mueller of the local Sharp
shooters society took part in the
meet and the former was the winner
on the King target, his score being
225. Besides winning this principal
event, Mr.. Weinkauf, with Messrs.
Mueller of this city and Richter and
Finger of Milwaukee, succeeded in
winning every prize that was worthy
of consideration. The Milwaukee
festival as whole was a very sue
cessfll event, but would have I'M
doubtedly proven a much larger sue
cess had weather conditions been
more favorable.
