The child was found about 4

come back, he notified the police.
The police asked him to call the

for the child. Supt. Stuckeman of
the Children's home hurried to the
station as soon as he was notified and
took the child to the home.
Women waiting at the station took

rain and HAIL
SOME DAMAGE IN LAKE COUNTY
CORNFTELDS BY LAST EVEN
ING'S STORM REPORTED.

A storm came upon this vicinity
about Z O'Clock last evening and
there were several heavy showers be
fore the clouds passed away. While
the storm came from the northwest,
there was no wind in the city and a
scattering shower of fine hail fell
with the rain without damage here.
In the northwest portion of the coun-
ty, however, there was considerable
wind and hail sufficiently heavy to
damage the corn fields, but to what
extent no definite estimates have
been made, some reports being that
the corn in the localities where the
hail was heaviest is damaged to the
extent of five bushels per acre. AS
usual the hail storm was freakish,
being heavy as the storm passed over
some fields while others escaped en-
tirely. Some damage by hail in the
vicinity of Ramona and east of there
is reported. The storm proceeded
southeast from Madison, being heavy
In the vicinity of Lake Madison. c..
A. Stensland of the First National
bank, who returned from Dell Rap
ids this morning, states that the
storm extended to that place with
more or less damage by hail in the
vicinity of Chester and other points
in that vicinity. Trainmen report
the storm extending north as far as
Oldham while no rain fell on the west
line west of Lake county. So far as
reports received in the city indicate
the heaviest part of the storm, includ-
ing rain and hail, occurred in
Wayne township, the northwest
township of this county.

PROMISING CROPS
Grass and Alfalfa Growing Luxuriant-
Iy West of the Missouri.

Pierre, Aug. 13.-Miles of deep
green grass and acres of thick alfalfa
west of the Missouri in the northwest
section of the state is reported by
immigration commissioner and land
commissioner. who returned from an
auto trip covering the reservation out
from Forest City to the Moreau river.
Hepperle and MacCaffree both say
they were absolutely amazed at the
green stretch of country, and found
it beyond their biggest expectations
for good crops. Good corn and much
alfalfa, with acres of marvellous graz
ing has made that portion. of the
state this year feel especially pros
porous. The only fear is hat of
prairie fires, which would destroy
the unusual crops of grass, but with
continued rains as they have had the
fires have less chance. The commits
sioners report inch rains in several
wide strips of the country yesterday
in returning to Pierre, where another
shower of an inch of moisture fell
in an area of twenty-five miles wide.

enclosure, mounted government
guards kept watch that no daring in
terloper got to the land of promise
ahead of the appointed hour.
That was to be at daybreak A
flag would drop, the rope would be
lowered and the mad rush for choice
locations would begin, mingled in by
representatives of probably every ma
ton under the sun.
Long since the last of this great
mob had left behind them the little
border town of Brocton, where they
had filled the hotels or lived around
in tents and dug outs for the past
month. There had been travelling
circus at Brocton and it had reaped
rich harvest. To this aggregation
Armstrong belonged. He had been a
great rover in his time, had become
interested in aeronautics, and, press
ed hard for money, had engaged with
the circus people for the season to
make an ascent daily in small gas
balloon.
Ihere were not enough people left
in Brocton to fill row of seats that
afternoon. All the hustle and excite
ment was transferred to the border
land. Nearly every resident in the
town had a one hundred sixty-acre
tract in view. So Armstrong had
come to the scene of confusion and
expectancy impeIled by curiosity.
For the most part the majority of
the land-hungry crowd had camped
on the bare ground. Here and there
were tents and horses and wagons.
Dale fingered by the side of covered
vehicle with two horses attached. In
der its white canvas roof an old wo-
man, a young girl and little boy
were eating their lunch.
The young lady CHANGED to glance
at Dale. The look electrified him.
