Three cars of a north-bound stock
train we're derailed at the Ironton
station early last Saturday morning.
Three cattle were killed outright in the
accident and several more so badly in
jured that they had to be put to death.
The wreck occurred on the side track
and did not block traffic.
There may be no blanket ballot this
year, after all. Some are contending
that the law wal not legally passed by
the last legislature and the matter is
now in the Supreme Court. That tribu-
nal will probably pass on the question
to-day or tomorrow. In the meantime
the printing of the tickets is delayed.

made up about 1915 dollars with which
to buy the dogs and build a kennel for
them. He will care for the animals,

Sundays st. Louis Posts Dispatch:
"The annual endurance contest of the
Motorcycle Club of st. Louis was run
this season to Arcadia, Mo-, and re-
turn, 210 miles over the Ozark Noun
tains. The heavy rains had washed
great holes in the roads and also
washed out a bridge SO that the riders
had to use the railroad bridge and
ties for miles. No serious trouble oc-
Cured, but there was much tire
trouble on the hard grind and many
blow-outs. OF 81 entries, however, Ii
finished with creditable scores. The
club members say they would like to
see an automobile try to follow them
on one of their runs, particularly the
last one."
Readers of the REGISTER will recall
an article printed in this paper last
week taken from the st. Louis Re-
public telling Of a man having been
stripped and robbed at Bismarck a few
nights before and tied to a tree ane
! left to perish of cold. Recent investi'
cation has led to the belief that the rob
berry was a"fake." That the three mer

the robbing-worked together. Thu
man who was robbed w excited mucl
sympathy, wa given $25 and a suit o
clothes. IT is thought that he is nov
with his pals again and they r OF
the way to greener fields. Surely sucl
a scheme to secure a little cash is
novel, if not commendatory. Next.
One of the boldest pieces of thiever.
