CITY'S NEW TRUCK
GIVEN STRONG TEST

Another addition to Molines motor
lied fire department, made possible
by the passage of the S34,500 bond is
sue last spring, was made yesterday
afternoon when the new combination
motor hose cart and pumping engine
arrived from the Robinson Fire Appar-
atus company of st. Louis.
Earl W. Robinson. president of the
concern that manufactured the ma
chine, arrived in the city to superin-
tend a test which was made today.
The machine cost the city approx
mately $4,000 and it will add greatly
10 the efficiency of the department,
especially in certain districts where
there is no connection with the city's
water system and water must be Sc
cured from wells and the river The
same motor that operates the truck
can then be used to pump water, and
it will give a strong pressure.

READS WAR News;
MAKES HIM CRAZY
Henry Vande Heede Fights

All Night.

to Local Police.

Driven to partial insanity through
TIE reading of war news, Henry Vande
Heede, who rooms in boarding house
at 721 Seventh street, appeared early
this morning at the police station and
told Sergeant Benjamin De Jaeger
that his room had been filled with sol
diers throughout the night, who had
levelled their guns at him and threat
eued to kill him. His face was pale
and his eyes dilated with fear as he.
related his story of terror filed
night.
AS near as the police could learn
every article of furniture in his room
had transformed itself into a soldier
bearing a gun, and Vande Heede's con-
dition was most pitiful. 1t is positive
also that he had not been drinking
and the police believe that he must

Hides Behind Bed.
Vande Needle told the sergeant that
he had hidden behind the bed at one
time for period of two hours, but one
of the soldiers had found MIN and driv-
en- him out. Roomers at the boarding
house stated that the man had acted
queerly and talked wildly before retir-
ing to his room. Many of them said
they had heard him running about in
his room throughout the night.
When daylight came today the man
seemed to become more rational.
though he still talked of his axperi-
ences of the night. He was allowed to
go about his business and vas not TAX

dition will improve.

MOlINERS TELL
STORY OF VOYAGE
Mr.. and Mrs. Olof Sanden Re-
turn From Sweden With
Thrilling Tale.
TRY TO AVOID SEA MINES
Ship Makes Roundabout Route for the
Sake of Safety-Aristocrats
Wash Dishes

lIr. and Mrs. Olof Sandell, who re-
side at 242S Fourth avenue. have just
returned TO this city from a trip to
Sweden with a thrilling story of ad-
venture in the North sea. They left
here last June and reached the old
country before the present trouble had
broken out. They came back on the
same boat with Mrs. Alma Wilson,
2OO1 Fifteenth street.
Mr.. Sandell states that the boat was
compelled TO make long detour TO the
north of its regular course in order
TO avoid possible collision with hidden
mines which the opposing countries
had sunk in the sea. The route took
them more than 800 miles out of their
course and within 200 miles of Green
land. thus making the trip much long
er than usual. In this manner, how
ever. all possibility of running against
a hidden mine was avoided.
Aristocrats as Dishwashers.
There we're about 1.400 passengers
on board, an unusually large number
and many of the young women whd
came over as first or second class pas
senCers were glad TO securt positions
as dishwashers or walters in order ia
get passage back to America. A num-
Der of young men also accepted posi-
tions on the boat for the same reason,
and according to Mr.. Sandell, 1t was
a strange sight to see aristocrat1c
young people working in such a man.
ner. 1t was the only way, however, in
which they could get passage, as the
boat was overcrowded with passen-
gers. \ number of young men came
over in order to escape service in the
swedish army. They had been in
America before. and many of them
were naturalized here, but as they had
not served the required period in the
army before emigrating to America,
they were subject to draft and recall
at any time. At Christiana, Norway.
Mt. Sandell stated that the tourists
saw large vessels being loaded with
food and munitions of war which were
TO be conveyed 10 the countries locked
in conflict.

today that for the first time in the last
