fore daybreak today 1000 Indians, in
feathers and war paint, carrying rifles
and tomahawks, crept tealthily toward

caught the CLINT of rifle barrel and
the vision of hideously painted faces
through the trees and bushes and
the terrifying war-hoop of the red
skins. and the attack was on. Desul-
tory firing began. The firing became
heavier gradually until II was general
and then the redmen closed in yell

raised The hand hand struggle
had begun.
When it was all over there weren't
any casulties. 1t was all merely a

Fifty years ago the name of Gener-

to continue a struggle which he knew
could only result in ultimate dissolu-

in public affection. Meade is practi-

A Rock Crushing Plant.

Messrs,fT. A. Mayer of Fort Dodge
Iowa and II. w. Heinricks of Rapids
City, S. ID. were in the city Friday
and Saturday to make an investiga-
ton of the opportunity for the estab-
lishment of large rock crushing
plant here and the possibilities of
shipment and sale in this part OF the
country. They have two plants in
South Dakota and contemplate the
removal of one of them They were
very much pleased with the city and
the rock here, and if satisfactory
freight arrangements can be made
they will be very likely to locate
plant of $50 to 175 tons daily ca
pacity here. This is a great indus
try and the demand for crushed
rock is increasing rapidly. such a
plant would give employment to
quite a number of men.

THE ROCK ISLAND WRECK.
Comments OF Northeast Iowa Papers
Upon Causes and Condition of
ROadbed.
DEBORAH Branch of Rock Island.

w.
What the Rock Island system is
experiencing on the DEBORAH division
OF It's lines is the natural and logical
result of years of neglect. The wri-
ter is fairly well acquainted with this
piece of track having travelled over
1t when 1T was in the keeping of the
b. {. r. & \. and also since it has
been Rock Island charge. Since
the old B., c. r. & N. went out of ex-
istence, until this year, practically
no money has been spent on the line
except in the making of repairs that
We're absolutely necessary Hun
dreds of ties were allowed to remain
in the road while they were in a
state of such rottenness that they fell
to pieces when removed. The old
90 pound rails were put into the
roads, probably in the days of the
late Judge Greene, were still in
place. The whole roadway for years
has been patch of weeds, through
which the iron rusted rails could
hardly be seen. An engineer in his
cab could hardly have told whether
the ties or rails were in place far
ahead of his engine.
This year the Rock Island has set
to work to improve the road, being
compelled to that effort by the sheer
est kind of necessity. Good work
has been done, so far as it has been
| done, but the complaint has been
that enough men could not be secur-
ed or held to accomplish all that the
road has had in mind. A great deal
of ballast has been carried on the
line and new rails have been laid,
with new ties under them. 1t has
| looked as if the road was being plac-
ed in much better condition, and
the wreck near Maynard, where a
whole passenger train slipped down
an embankment was therefore, all
the more surprising.
The DEBORAH branch is not a prof
itless road. Rock Island officials
have admitted that it has shown
more increase in earnings that any
other subsidiary line of the system
in Iowa. 1t runs through a good
territory, territory that with the
growth of Cedar Rapids has been in
| creasingly contributive to this city.
| If the road was made modern that
business could be largely increased
for it would have what it has not al
ways had during the years past, the
confidence of the shipping and trav-
cling public. The neglect has cost
both the Rock Island and Cedar Rap
ids serious losses.
The Rock Island company should
pursue the Improvements on this
piece of road with renewed vigor
The line is worth it and the people
demand it. The whole 120 miles to
DEBORAH should be put into sub

| Rock Island owns this property and
| the laws exact nothing else. 1t will
