MANY Animals Die of Thirst.

Gus Panzer of Tripoli hau some
hard luck during the excessive heat
of last week, when sixteen head OF
cattle and one horse died from the
heat and lack of water. The stock
was in a pasture south of Tripoli and
was furnished with water from tanks
AS the wind was quite brisk during
the excessively hot days. the parties
whose duty it was to see that the
stock was well supplied with water
evidently neglected to look at the
tanks, only glancing at the mill to
see that it was running. When the
cattle and horse were discovered
dead an investigation showed that
the rod of the mill was broken and
the mill was working to no purpose
The tanks were perfectly dry and
looked as if there had been no wa
ter in them fL- considerable length
of time. -Waverly Independent.

New Hampton, Iowa, Sept IA
death that came as a shock to this
community was that of Miss Alice

here but had spent the later years OF
her life away. Miss Casey died al
her mothers home Of quick con-
sumption and was buried from ST.
Joseph's church of this city. Rev.
Father NJ. Fl. Carey officiating. A
particularly sad feature of her un-
timely death was the fact that she
was buried in the gown in which she
was to have been married in a few
weeks.
The bereaved young man is c. w.
Mensch of Edmonton, Alberta, a
manager of large department
store of that city, in which Miss Ca
sey was employed as department
head. She was home on short va
cation, prior to their intended trip
to New York to buy the season S
goods. Miss Casey had risen rapidly
until she had attained a coveted po-
sition in the business world. Start
ing as a clerk in New Hampton, she
rose through positions in ManKato,
Mimi, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Os-
kaloosa, Sioux City, to that of de-
partment head and buyer at Edmon-
ton. Mr.. Mensch also was formerly
employed in Sioux City, where he and
Miss Casey became friends.
Miss Casey was member of a
large family, being survived by four

DESTRUCTIVE FARM FIRE.
Charred Remnants of Bones Found
in Ruins of Barn on Place Near
Usage.

Usage, Ia. Sept. An unknown
man was consumed in fire that des-
troyed every building except the
house on the farm occupied by
Thomas Seller, near Usage. The man
is presumed to have been tramp.
sleeping in the haymow of the barn.
Neighbors fighting the blaze noted
what apparently was body sprawled
over the hay when the barn was
burning at it's fiercest. Almost as
they discovered the presence OF the
human form, it slipped down into
the flames. 1t was not known posi-
tivey that human life had been lost
until charred remnants OF human
bones were discovered in the ashes
today. Seven horses were burned In
the same building, and granary and
several sheds also went. The loss
probably will total $4,000.

Solicitor Arrested At waukon.

A young man named ]. ]. Morton
who has been in this vicinity this
summer soliciting orders for enlarg-
ed colored portraits and home
scenes, is an inmate of the county
Jail at present on the charge of de-
sertion and nonsupport preferred by
his wife who is now staying here In
town. The couple have been living
in a tent on the Ed Larson place on
Village Creek Of late and from re-
ports Morton has been too attentive
and intimate with the daughter of a
prominent family in the Daily neigh
borhood This Is said to have
prompted his arrest by his angered
wife. Sheriff Larson chased Morton,
who had a horse and buggy, across
country from his camp to Maud be-
fore he oyerhauled him Monday.
There is a possibility also of the
young man being held to account on
a more serious charge than PREFER
ed by his wife.-Waukon Democrat.
