THIRTY KILLED
IN ATTACK ON TRAIN
Thirty-two Of Dead Were Federal
Troops.

Mexico City, April From best
information obtainable thirty-nine
persons were killed in the attack on
the Mexico City uernavaca train
near Tres Marias, fifty miles south
of the capital, Saturday. OF these
thirty-two were federal soldiers,
who formed an escort. Seven pas
sengers were killed and several
wounded
The train was stopped by rocks
on the track and the attackers open
ed fire from both sides. As the first
volley the engineer, a Mexican, fell
dead. Fire was directed chiefly at
the car containing the soldiers, who
were slaughtered without chance
to return the fire with any effect.
When the federals were silenced the
bandits entered and robbed the dead
and living, not sparing the women
passengers. of whom there were half
a dozen. After the hooters had rid
den away a freight train approach
ed from the rear and later hauled
the riddled coaches back to Mexico
City.
Two American passengers were
unhurt. The conductor, c. F. Los
sing, was struck on the head with a
gun and badly injured.

HOME MADE SEED
CORN TESTERS
Bulletin Issued at State College Will
be Mailed Free to all
Farmers.

Because of the urgent need of
seed corn testing in every section Of
Iowa, director Chas. F. Curtiss of the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment sta
ton at Ames, has just ordered the.
publication of a four page circular
on "Home made. seed corn testers .
This bulletin will be mailed to any
address in Iowa without charge. 1t
will also be furnished without cost
to local commercial clubs, business
or professional men or others who
may want to distribute it in their
communities. Fifty thousand copies
have beer ordered and another So
900 will be printed if there is a de-
mand for them.
No Iowa farmer need to neglect
testing his seed because he cannot
buy ready made tester. At the
cost of SO cents to 81 and half
hours time he can make a, tester
at home that will be as efficient as
the best manufactured he can buy.
In tests covering two years and in
Guiding more than 10000 indiyid-
ual ear test readings, the Iowa Ex-
pertinent station demonstrated fully
that home made testers, made at lit
tie expense, will pick out ears for
seed from which there will be as
large yields as from ears selected by
the high priced testers. These home
made testers are of two kinds-the
rag Doll TESTER" comprising mere
ly a few strips of sheeting, and the
"sawdust tester" comprising shall
low box and couple of bushels OF
sawdust. Either one is easily made
and simply operated.
All information that comes to the
station emphasizes the need of test
ing the seed. The situation is worse.
than it has been for years. Unless
farmers generally test their corn
carefully this year." says Prof. H.
D. Hughes, farm crops experiment
alist, "the crop this fall will be very
largely reduced"

MANY ARRESTS MADE
in FORT DODGE
Over Two Thousand During the Year
Just closed-over 1900 for
Drunkenness.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: Two thous-
and and sixty arrests were made
during the first fiscal year OF the
present city administration which
ended YESTERDAY, and annual reports
are being made out by the heads Of
the various departments of the city.
That of the chief of the police de-
partment will show that a large
number of arrests have been made
from March 81, 1911, to March 81,
1912. During that time $500 peo-
pie have seen the inside of the city
Jail. Of this number but two or
three were turned out as the ar
rests were not made unless the men
were guilty of violating city ordi-
nance.
s The police have been very active
in their line and have freed the city
of the crooks who naturally hang
around city the size Of Fort Dodge.
But one man was arrested for
house breaking and fourteen for lar
ceny, which is a small number in
deed. Out of every complaint made
to the police of robbery. not one man
got away from them, which is re-
maGkable record indeed. But five
were up for plain robbery.
The white hope abound in this
city and when Jim Corbett arrives
he may look some Of them over and
pick one to meet Jack johnson. He
will, be able to make choice from
Sd men, who were taken during the
year by the police. Out of that
number, many of them were in aw-
ful~ condition, they having had their
heads cut and faces bruised badly.
A number of others were also up
on various charges. Following is
the list of arrests made during the

OUTING CLUB
IMPROVEMENTS
Annual Meeting Of Stockholders Of
Webster City Outing Club
Was Held Last
Evening.
WATER SPORTS ARRANGED FOR
Variety Of Forms Of Entertainment
Will be Enjoyed by Members
Of Club.

@ LIE w tUSlGI lily SOuliHS Sluu "a
figuring on improvements for the
coming season that will place them
in position for amusements equal
to that of any other club in the
state. Bathing, boating, golfing,
tennis, and all forms of indoor en-
tertainment, will be offered to the
members of the club.
Al meeting of the stockholders Of
the society was held last evening at
which all of the new improvements
were favorably considered At pres
eat there are about one hundred
and thirty members of the club and
about fifty of them were present at
the stockholders meeting. AS it was
impossible to obtain any public hall
in the city for the purpose of the
meeting, the session
took place in the Office rooms of
Kamrar &, Prince.
The election Of officers for the
coming year brought no changes in
the officers or the board of directors.
The first question brought up for
consideration was that of damming
the Boone river. This matter has
been in the minds OF the board of
directors for the past year, but last
season nothing was done. However,
the members are now quite positive
that by damming the river 1t will
be possible to afford good bathing
and other water sports. For this
purpose the r. G. Clark dam will
be used, thereby doing away with
the expense of building new one.
This dam is located near the Des
Moines street bridge. It is arrang-
ed so that it can be put in shape
to dam the water in very few
days. Mr.. Clark has four concrete
piers. in the. river at that place.
When they wish to stop the progress
Of the stream all that is necessary
is to place timbers lengthwise
against the piers and dam is form
ed. Mr.. Clark has given permission
to the club to use his dam this sea-
son.
The matter of banking the river
on the side nearest the golf links
to prevent the water from flooding
the grounds. was brought up. This
will probably be remedied by the
building of large wall along the
side of the river.
A definite date for the formal OPP
ening of the Outing club for the
season Of 1912 has not yet been set
led upon owing to the uncertainty
Of the weather. However. should
the present warm weather continue
the club will undoubtedly hold their
opening festivities some time in the
near future. Although no date for
the affair has yet been given out,
preparations for the opening are
now under way and it is expected
to be big feature of the season s
social events.
