New York and Boston Capitalists
Meet in Iowa
City.
ARE PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK
Believed $4,000, 600 for Line to Dav'
export is Forthcoming
Soon.

Iowa City, April 6.--Four New
York and Boston capitalists were in
Iowa City yesterday comforting with
the local promoters Of the Iowa
City-Davenport interurban line and
looking over the country and the
cities to be served by the proposed
interurban. They expressed them
selves as pleased with the appear
ance of Iowa City and favorably i'm
pressed by the location Of the line
as whole.
Mr.. Coon, who is pushing the
resurveys OF the line, is said to have
a better survey than the one on
which the plans of last year were
based. He hopes to have the pro-
ject financed this season, SO that
construction work may begin.
The eastern men spent some time
in Davenport and along the line
and went to Cedar Rapids to inspect
that interurban line en- route and
estimate from it the probabilities
concerning the one from Davenport.
The opinion is expressed that on
their return to their homes eastern
capital will be forthcoming to
finance the proposition. The line
will cost about 100000.

LITTLE BABE FALLS
DOWN FURNACE PIPE
Two Men and Woman Rescue
Infant.

Marshalltown, April 6.-Alarmed
by the cries OF her baby son, Evert
aged Is months, and discovering
the register over a cold air pipe
leading to the furnace had been re
moved, Mrs. Harold Vosburg OF Gil
man was shocked to find that her
babe had fallen into the cold air
pipe, and was struggling near the
furnace jacket eight feet below.
Summoning the help of two men,
Mrs. vosburg and her father-in-
law held the feet Of James Stewart,
who was let down head foremost
and seized the baby's body. BY much
tugging Stewart and the baby were
brought ont of the pipe, and the
little fellow was no worse for the
experience.
Fortunately there was only a low
fire in the furnace, and this alone
prevented fatal results.
