SELLS FARM AT S23,15O.
ThOs. Logsdon Sells His Farm on
State Road to G.. Il. Pearson
at 1925 an Acre.

Friday one of the biggest real es-
tate deals taking place in this vicin-
ity in long time was transacted
when Thos. Logsdon sold his farm,
better known as the old Bonnie
Headington place, on the State road
just below the fair grounds, to G. T.
PEARSON, for consideration of
1925 an acre. The farm consists OF
100 acres, and brought S23,75O. We
understand that when Mr.. Logsdon
purchased this farm about two years
ago he paid $50 an acre, thus real
izing in that short space of time a
profit of $1,000. besides the crops,
stock ETC., raised. Those who are in
a position to know say that Mr.. Pear
son got the farm cheap enough at
1925 an acre. There is no better
land lying out doors than Winnie
shiek county possesses, and at the
price charged per acre in other
counties of the state, Winneshiek
farms have been selling too cheap.
Mr.. Pearson will not take posses
sion of the farm until March 1915.
He expects to move onto the place
and conduct large stock farm. He
has been buying cattle on a large
scale for several years past, and will
utilize the farm for fattening stock
for the markets. Thirty acres of the
farm lies across the road below the
j. M. Lennon home, adjoining the
Rock Island tracks. 1t is Mr.. Pear
sons intention to have a spur track
built into his land and do all his
loading right flom his farm. 1t is
an ideal farm, with good buildings
and we'll broken excellent soil. Mr..
Pearson also owns another fine 100
acre farm on Clay Hill.
E. X. Hovden, the real estate man
made the above sale.

THE ONE TURKISH HERO.
AdrianOple Defender, Shukri Pasha,
 Fought Like a Real Soldier.

The one heroic figure on the Turkish side in the Balkan war is Shukri pasha, commander of Adrianople. Not in all the history of the Turks is there so brilliant a chapter as the defense of the Holy City of the Moslems. However in- efficient or needless of impending danger the Turks were elsewhere, they took good care that Adrian ople was well fortified, well sup piled well garrisoned and well commanded.
 But the BulgaPianS, too, with the hatred of years in their hearts, were we'll prepared, and so there are few sieges in modern history that have been so stubbornly or gall lantly conducted. Shut up within his fortress, cut off from all sup plies since the middle of October, Shukri Pasha has held on until 1t is certain that further resistance was impossible.
 Two weeks ago there came from Shukri pasha the despairing cry of T can hold out only week longer" sent in cipher by wireless to his superior officers in Constantinople.
 Shukri informed the porte that Adrianople practically was at the end of its supplies of food and am intuition, while there was much sickness, especially scurvy and in- testina disorders, ravaging the the ranks of the defenders.
 The commander urged either that peace negotiations be hastened or that an immediate attempt to re- lieve the city be undertaken from the Tchataldja lines.
 Adrianople is the Holy City of the Turks. their first foothold in Europe, the site of their ancient mosques and tombs of the Caliphs.

NOT so MANY DEAD
 IN FLOOD DISTRICT
Work of Rescuers Show Many Per sons Alive Who Had Been Thought Drowned at Dayton
 Many Nearly Starved.

Dayton, March 28.-Revised esti- mates from Ohio and Indiana flood districts today indicate that the re- ports of loss of life were exagger- ated.
 The death lists today promised to be much less heavy in Columbus than was at first reported.
 In Piqua, where 500 were report ed killed, today's advices show less than 20 were drowned.
 In Chillicothe, where the dead were reported at 500 only 25 are dead.
 Indiana death lists are shrinking.
 Those parts of Dayton explored today by motorboat indicate less dead than was expected, and 200 dead may be the city's final death list.
 The Louisville life saving crew reached the low districts around Franklin and Ludlow streets today, where water reached the roofs of all two story houses.
 There had been little hope of finding survivors here, but the life savers discovered several hundred families and only a few persons in desperate straits. The Louisville men also reached the Academy of the Sisters of NOtre Dame, where over a hundred have been without a drop of water or a bite of food since Tuesday.
 MOtorboats all morning were bringing in refugees, t5 to 20 at a load. Many survivors are so weak they must be carried on stretchers.
 Military headquarters today re- ceiVed alarming reports that well armed men were footing where the water had partly receded. The mili- tary commander during the morn ing refused permission to five thou sand persons, who applied for passes into the danger zone.
 The fire loss down town is posi- lively limited to the Dayton gas light plant and to the TOW of two and three story buildings on either side.
 A daring robbery was thwarted today when a man was arrested as he was leaving the city with a satchel containing fifty thousand dollars in diamonds and iewelry.

ADR|ANOPLEFALLS
 BEFORE BULCARS
Made Fierce BayOnet Charges- Terrible Fighting Since Monday Flames Devastating the City
 Turk Commits Suicide.

Mustpha, Pasha, March 26.-The fortress of Adrianople was taken by storm by the Bulgarians this morn ing after fighting of the most ter rible character since Monday. Flames are devastating the city.
 At an early hour this morning fires were raging in various sec tions of the beleagured city. The maddened population, whose nerves had been shattered by almost in cessant bombardment for a period of over seven months, was fleeing about the streets from one point to another, not knowing where to find shelter.
 The great artillery arsenal in the city was burning and the barracks lying between the hospital and the northern forts were also in flames.
 The Bulgarians, in strong force, gradually advanced their lines en- circling the city and by short rushes the infantrymen approached near enough to prepare for the final dash.
 On all sides the combined move ment of the attackers was contin- ued. The Bulgarian infantry had reached within 300 yards of the main forts at o'clock last evening. They entrenched themselves there while ammunition and provisions were brought up from the rear and preparations were made for the final assault.
 The entire line of fortresses de- lending the eastern side of the city was captured by the Bulgarians after a most spectacular assault at the point of the bayonet by long lines of infantry, which were strengthened by the second reserve line. The eastern forts soon fell in- to their hands and Bulgarian bat teries were immediately placed in position to concentrate their fire on the old works. The way was thus cleared for a direct assault on the city itself.

Hamilton, Ohio, March 2S.- Deaths here still appear to be about 200. Over 50 people spent two days and nights in the courthouse with out food, water, heat or light. Many of them slept standing and they could hear the cries for help from people out in the wafer.
 Finally man brought a basket of sandwiches to the courthouse and tried to sell them to the half starved people. The sandwiches were forcibly taken from him by the hungry flood victims.
