Sioux City.
Sioux City was thoroughly searched
Monday for a gentlemanly safe blower
who would guarantee to open safe
without stealing the contents or
wrecking the vault. Jay iMacI.arty,
manager Of the West hotel, did tho
searching in the hope Of opening the
hotels safe in time to distribute the
guests belongings which had been left
for safe keeping. For years. the safe
behind the hotel desk has been used
for q receptacle of valuabies. The out
er door was never closed because at
least one man was constantly on duty.
A key locked the inner door. No one
seems to know the combination. Sun
day night a new desk man slammed
tho safe door and twisted the dial
when he quit work. Then he learned
that the combination is unknown.
Early Monday morning an expert from
one of the lock shops was on hand. He
drilled several holes thru the safe and
m anaged to shift tho levers with a
strong wire. In this manner the safe
was opened.

pRourH KILLING MANY FISH.
Lakes and Bayeus Along Mississippi
Goina Dry.


Going Dry.
Burlington, Sept 10.-On account Of
the continued drouth in this section Of
the country scores of lakes have dried
up, their waters evaporating. leaving
the fish that made their habitat therein
stranded In the mud and causing their
death by thousands. Deputy Game
Warden Dan [. Tubbs states that in
one lake In the drainage district north
Of the city he found thousands of dead
fish. mostly small buffalo. He previ-
ously wanted to remove these ash to
the river but was unable to secure the
necessary authority. The decomposi-
ing fish send up an odor that extends
generously for miles. Deputy Tubbs
says he has discovered this condition in
other lakes and sloughs, some Of them
south Of the city along the Skunk
river and in the bottoms. Fish are not
so plentiful in these parts that they can
thus be wasted and some steps should
be taken to save them.
Deputy Tubbs is Of the opinion that
the big lake created by damming the
river at Keokuk will eventually be
this lake is almost stationary. There
Will DC no 8Tedl rise OF 1911 anu tiie
spawn Of the fish will have a chance
to develop. The uncertainty OF the
river stage frequently destroyed great
masses Of fish spawn. but in the case
of Lake Cooper this spawn will be
saved and the fish will grown and
thrive and wax large and ganey and
there will be plenty for all who essay
to 90 forth with hook and line and bait
When the Ash family commence to
propagate properly the people need not
care a rap whether there is a f1shway
in the big dam or not

of police received the communication,
whereabouts of the accused man. but it
is believed that his friends have been in
touch with him for some time.

ed on a hunting trip along the Cedar
river. A short distance from Fish's
crossing they discovered a boat and
started to row across the stream. They
had been gone but a short time when
Mr.. virts and B. L. Bowden appeared
and demanded the men to return with
the boat.
A controversy arose and during the
discussion Mr.. Virts is alleged to have
struck Palmer a blow with the butt end
of his shotgun. Mr.. Palmer was struck
on the left side Of his head Just above
the eye. and for several days his life
was despaired of. but the injured man
has almost completely recovered from
his injuries since that time.
