Big Crane Lights On WIRES.

Missouri Valley, Ia, Aug. "a
The managers of the light company
were unable to answer the flood OF
questions that poured into the offices
as to why the city was left in dark
ness Friday night and a gang of men
started out towards Blair, Neb., the
location of the power plant and on
reaching the Missouri river found a
curious thing had happened. A
crane flying over had alighted upon
the feed wires, planting one foot on
each of the big transmission wires
completing the circuit and burning
the wires out. One leg of the crane
burned to a crisp, still hung to one
wire and the big bird was lying be,
meath.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Driver Killed and Four Horses Fell
ed to the Ground Near New
Hampton.

Death, with most fearful sudden
ness, came to Rufus Lawson on Mon
day of last week, when a bolt of
lightning, almost from a clear sky,
struck him while he was at work
with a manure spreader in the field
near his home in Jacksonville town
ship, near New Hampton.
His wife, from the house, first no
ticed the four horses lying on the
ground. Before she could realize
what had happened the horses arose
one by one, got loose from the
spreader and came running TO the
barn. Mrs. Lawson ran to the spot
and found her husband lyins on the
ground, about three rods from the
front wheel of the spreader. Hoping
against hope, paralyzed by the terri
bic suddenness of it all, Mrs. Law
son, with heroic devotion, sought to
help the stricken one. She grasped
his form and moved it into position
straining with all of her senses for
some faintest sign to disprove the
awful doubt that now pressed upon
her heart. She ran to the house and
brought water, but all her efforts
were unsuccessful.

A "STINGY" HUSBAND.
Diluted the Baby's Milk, and Wife
Couldn't Use Eggs Though
They Had Hens.

In a complaint for divorce, filed
by Emma Hackbarth of Mukwonago,
Wis, pitiful tale as how her hus-
band diluted the baby's milk until
it became i'll for want of nourishment
is related. William Hackbarth, the
defendant, is described as being COM
paratively wealthy, having saved
considerable money since their mar
riage on Feb. 5, 1913, at Milwaukee.
Although they have eight COWS and
some poultry, the complaint sets
forth that she was not permitted to
use eggs unless they had been acct
IDENTIFY broken and that he was con-
tinually nagging her because she US
ed too much butter ana was not
economical in purchasing supplies
for the house. He was ordered to
pay SIS suit money and $25 attor-
ney's fees within thirty days.

PAROLE is SOUGHT.
Farmer Who Killed Man May Not
Have to Go to Jail.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-It is prob
able that James Blake, farmer OF
Guthrie county will receive executive
clemency before having to go to Jail
for six months for killing a man
One of the largest and most complete
petitions for parole ever presented
the governor has been produced in
his behalf The fact that the judge
sentenced him to a Jail sentence
would indicate of itself doubt as to
the justice of any punishment against
him. Blake had been annoyed and
harassed by his victim, who called
at the Blake home at all times of
the night and beat at the doors and
windows and finally appeared and
shot at Blake. Finally Blake wear
led of the annoyance and returned
the fire, with deadly result. The jury
couldn't find it to be exactly a case
of, self defense but apparently the
court and jury felt that it was al
most justifiable homicide.

Calf Born Without a Tail.

Who has not attended the circus
and been inveigled into the side
show by the barker's cry: See the
two-legged calf" and gone in only
to see mumified specimen which
may or may not be the skeleton of
a young bovine?
There was calf born on the Hen
ry Kuhn farm, south of Charles City
Sunday which came into the world
without posterior appendage, or
tail, and such freak of nature is
exciting the curiosity of farmers for
miles around. Just why the calf is
shy a terminal is unexplainable as
there seems to be no mark where
the appendage should be.

Since this trip is by far the most-im-
portant on the schedule this year, the
Wesleyan squad and followers feel
that it is very important that the best
showing possible be made in the East,
So next Monday will see the Orange
