Preparations for Planting at State
Farm.

The officials at the state peniten-
tiary are making preparations for
their spring planting at the state farm
east OF the city. Already about 30 or
40 acres OF soil has been plowed up
and the work will be continued for at
least two weeks. The state officials
have leased an additional tract of 30
acres, known as the Playground tract.
which makes the crop much larger
than In former years. The additional
tract OF land secured for this year is
very fertile owing to the recent floods
which extended over this LAND.

II developed that the men also tried
TO enter the residence Of Mrs. Ster.
ling little later on as blood was
found on the porch the next morning

Previous to attempting to enter the

MEETS WITH VERY
PAINFUL ACCIDENT
John Strever Gets His Leg Caught
Between Wagon Tongue and
Tree.

y = Il = . Il = & y Z H
John Streyer, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. R. Strever, met with a very
painful accident near Clarion Fri
day.
AS one OF the strever neighbors
had some corn to be hauled, John
went to his house to help. When
he had his wagon filled with corn
he started to lead his horses up In
order that the next wagon could be
filled. In doing this he held to their
brides and started walking back
wards. AS he was doing so he
bumped into a tree. The team did
not stop at once and the young
mans leg was caught between the
tongue and the trunk Of the tree in
flicting very painful injuries. He
was taken to his home and since
that time has been confined to his
bed. 1t is not known as yet wheth-
er any bones in the limb are tract
ured owing to the swelling the in
Jury caused. However, the injury
is very painful and John will prob
ably be confined to his home for
some time.

DEAD in HIS BED
Dies at Bloomington, Illinois Cause
Of Death is Reported as

Leonard Bliss, known the world
over as "Baby Bliss" and who has
several personal friends in this city,
Is dead. Mr.. Bliss was for several
years employed with different cir
cuses as an unusual attraction and
claimed at one time to have been the
largest man in the world. His death
occurred in Bloomington, Illinois. It
is reported that he was found dead

time OF his death, Mr.. Bliss was
forty-five years of age and weighed
Ave hundred pounds. He was well
known all over the country.
Several years ago Mr.. Bliss rode

ing to his great weight and size he
was an excellent advertisement for

RENEW TALK FOR Gen.
TRIAL HEATING PLANT
Property Owners on North Side Of
Second Street Considering
the Matter.

1t is generally believed that the
city will abandon the municipal
heating plant before another season
and talk is renewed by property
owners in the block on the north
side OF Second street. between Will
son avenue and Des Moines street,
of putting in plant to heat all the
buildings, and Of employing men to
run 1t during the season when heat
Is needed. The plan seems feasible
from every point of view. 1t would
be more economical than individual
plants. much cleaner. less liable to
loss from fire and much more con-
venient. To get best results the
boiler should be located near the
center Of the block, thus bringing
1t close to each consumer. Each
property owner would pay his pro-
portionate share toward construc-
ton. according to the number of
buildings owned and the operating
expenses would be paid In the same
manner. 1t is likely that under
such an arrangement the expense of
heating would be greatly reduced 10
those who now use city heat.
There has also been some talk
among property owners on the south
side of Second street of putting in
similar plant.

CONDUCTOR BADLY
FROZEN IN WALK
Conductor Cooley Of Belated Hi.
nois Central Train has Tough
Experience.

The passenger train on the Gen.
tral due here at 2:52 in the morn
ing Friday did not get in until
about 6 o'clock that evening. This
train was snow bound near Ackley
from early morning till that time
at night. Section crews along the
line were sent to It's assistance and
worked all day before 1t was pos
sible to clear the track to let the
train pass. Passenger Conductor
Cooley, In charge OF the train, frozs
both feet, his face and fingers while
attempting to reach an open sta
tion. When the train was forced to
stop it was necessary for him to go
to a station and as they were but
two miles out Of Macy. small sta
ton about five miles east of Iowa
Falls. he started to walk. Upon
reaching that station he found the
agent OF the place absent and was
unable to gain admittance.
After spending some time In an
unsuccessful hunt for the agent he
continued his way to Iowa Falls. up
on reaching that city through the
biting cold he was almost frozen.
However, he continued with his
train when 1t was finally shoveled
out. Almost fourteen hours were
spent in clearing the track.

MAY SUBMIT IT TO
A PRIMARY VOTE
The Postmastership Contest at Story
City may be Settled in That
Manner.

They are having quite strenu-
GUS postmastership contest at Story
City and indications are that Con-
gresham Prouty will submit the
matter to primary. Postmaster
Henderson is very popular officer
and stands high as man and citizen.
He is candidate for re-appoint-
ment, but is standpatter. and Of
course the progressives think they
are entitled to recognition, so they
have presented the name Of Mr.. Cor
neliussen for consideration by Judge
Prouty. The postmaster and Mr..
Corneliussen have both waited upon
Judge Prouty at Des Moines and the
judge has expressed the wish to
have the matter settled by an cleo
tion.
This is the way Candidate Rube
McFerren and his friends wanted to
settle the postmaster succession in
this city, but Congressman Woods
declined, though pretending to fav-
or the candidate whom the people
wanted. In the judgment of the
Freeman Tribune there is just two
ways to settle these contests without
casting suspicion OF bad faith upon
the congressman. One is to leave
it to a primary and the other way
is for the ongressman to say ne
owes 1t to certain friends, and is
going to recognize their claims.

A TERRIBLE
ACCIDENT
Jesse weedman, Young Man Who
Resides in Woodstock, Loses
Arm by Premature Dis
charge Of Gun.
BROUGHT 10 MERCY HOSPITAL
Was Hunting Rabbits With Another
Boy When Terrible Accident
Happened
BROUGHT TO MERCY HOSPITAL

AS the result of an accident
which occurred while hunting with
a party Of friends, Jesse Weedman,
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Weedman, who reside in woodstock,
had one Of his arms amputated at
Mercy hospital Sunday evening. The
boy is about fifteen years of age.
The gun which caused the accident
was in the hands of one of his boy
friends, Irwin Morrison, young
man but few years older than
Weedman.
The young men started out hunt
ing early Sunday morning and were
but short distance west of Wool
stock when the terrible accident oc-
Cured. The boys were carrying a
ferret to assist them in their hunt
ing. Young Weedman was holding
1t. under his arm and was few steps
ahead of his companion. AS they
were passing some underbrush a
rabbit scurried from it. As Morri-
son held the gun he raised it to fire.
Before he had 1t to his shoulder 1t
was prematurely discharged and the
load struck young Weedman in the
upper part Of the arm. He was TAX
en- to nearby house, woodstock
physician called and the wound was
dressed. However, in the examina-
tion 1t was found that 1t would be
necessary to amputate the injured
member and he was brought to this
city Sunday afternoon and taken
to the local hospital. That even
ing the operation removing his arm
was performed. AS the charge was
lodged near the shoulder the lad lost
almost the entire arm. Young Nor
rieon, who held the gun when it was
discharged, is In rather serious
condition owing to the accident.
However, he can not be blamed. as
the explosion of the gun was purely
accidental. Both of the boys are
SONS of retired farmers who reside
in woodstock. Under the circum-
stances 1t is indeed fortunate that
the Weedman boy did not receive
the load of shot In a vital part Of
his body.
