DESERVING OF MEDAL.
Otto Alstad Stops Runaway Team in
Spectacular Manner.

Otto Alstad is certainly in line for
Carnegie medal, for his brave and
spectacular act in stopping a runa-
way team Saturday morning, about
eight O'Clock. About that hour c. G.
Fitz Simmons, the dairy man, was
delivering milk to customers on up
per Washington street. When he left
the wagon, the team evidently
thought it was too hot to draw milk,
so decided to make for home in rec
ord time. They lunged ahead into
a wild gallop down Washington
street leaped across the Milwaukee
tracks, and made straight towards
the Winneshiek hotel, slowed around
Mott & Co.'S. corner and tore west
on Water street without the least
regard for speed limits, personal
safety or anything else.
otto Alstad was near Ben Bears
corner on his bicycle, and he decid-
ed the runaways ought to be stopped,
SO he raced after them. Just as he
came along side of the wagon near
Engbretson's machinery establish
ment he made clever and nervy
leap from his wheel onto the side
step of the swaying wagon, and
gained the inside, whereupon he
picked up the lines and became the
master of the situation in a very
short time. He stopped the fleeing
horses before any damage was done
to anyone or anything, and gained
the admiration of all who witnessed
the performance of the thrilling
deed.

Pigs Ride i'm Style.

G. 7. Pearson. one of DEBORAH s
well known stockmen went to Ridge
way last Wednesday On business,
and while there secured IA young
pigs, pure white in color, and the
prctiest little animals one would
want to see-even if they were only
pigs-but the old saying is pigs is
pigs. He bought them for his young
son Reginald, who has developed in
to first class stockman himself
He just recently sold $500 worth of
porkers that he cared for himself
since last February at the Rock Is
land yards. He is a hustler, and it
will only be a short time before he
will have his father backed away
off the boards. In bringing the pigs
to DEBORAH, Skip" gave them first.

they came to town in style. !,

DEBORAH BUTTER.
neCorah Farmers Ice Cave Cream.
cry Co. Does Enormous June
Business.

The month of June was banner
one for the DEBORAH Farmers Ice
Cave Creamery Co. Buttermaker
Bendickson informs us that for the
month of June the creamery receiv-
ed PAL ,058 pounds of cream from
which there was made 62,660fbs.t
of butter. DEBORAH residents con-
sumed 1866 pounds of it and the
balance was shipped to Eastern mar
.kets. At 81 cents a pound Decor
an people paid s1,53355 for cream
cry butter during this one month,
which with all the dairy butter con-
sumed of course runs those figures
up very much higher.
The DEBORAH creamery is run on
a thorough and sound business prin-
ciple, and the present buttermaker,
Mr.. Bendickson is one of the best
in the state. He keeps the creamery
as neat and clean as a new pin,
and it is a real pleasure to visit
the place. Those 241,05S pounds of
cream bought from Winneshiek
county farmers means something. 1t
represents a lot of money and it
also means that Winneshiek' dairy
herds are all wonderful producers
and our farmers up to the minute.

in seining game fish below the diff
erent dams on the river in DEBORAH,
and placing them above the Tavenir
dam They took out a number OF
black bass and croppies and put
them above the dam. 1t was done
on account of the fishways in the
dams not being found successful.
Very few fish were removed as the
river is too rocky near the dams for
successful SEEMING.

took place last Sunday when friends

ate their 50th wedding anniversary.

Der of 400 were present to celebrate
the day with these worthy old peo-
pie. Excellent weather favored the
festivities. To be sure the weather
was warm but in the abundant

was not very noticeable. The day

sumed the nature of a reunion of
the old settlers, Mr. and Mrs. Evans
being rioneers of that locality.
Christopher Evans was born in
Valders Norway in 1910 and came
to Wisconsin with his parents in
1850. The following year the family
moved to Winneshiek County, where
they bought farm.
They are now the owners of two
CT the finest farms in the county. In
his community he is highly respect
ed and exceedingly well liked by
all, for his generous heart and great
mind He has held several offices
in his township and has always filled
his place in most efficient manner.
Several out Of town guests were
present, among which can be men
toned Mr.. Evans's sister, Mrs.
Ingebor Hoverstau and daughter
Bertha, and Prof. Hverstad of Den
nison, Mimi, also Mrs. c. N. Lien

Fine Residence at q Bargain.

There is a big bargain for some
one in a fine residence property on
Mechanic street. The house is not
large, but just right for small fami-
ly. There is a lot and a half 10
feet wide, also fine cement walks
and boulevard, beautiful shade trees,
fine lawn and good we'll. Also a
big barn. The house is an excep-
tionally warm one, and requires
small amount of coal to heat it.
The location is an ideal one, and
the property will be sold at a bic
bargain. If you are interested, bet
ter call early, for at the price il
will be snapped up. Call on or write

Ford and Rooster Collide.

Tuesday afternoon, a terrible col
lision occurred On Water ST. imme-
diately in front of the Star thea
ire. One of Dick Bucknell's full
blooded Barred Plymouth Rock
ROSTERS was calmly enjoying life in
the dazzling glare of the afternoon
sun and refused to be disturbed, by
the repeated honks of Ford tour
ing car piloted by Ed Hovden. The
bird straightway reaped the fruit
of his folly and received the worst
end of the argument, and emerged
from the chaos of squawks and
honks with broken leg and heavy
loss of feathers. The car was not
damaged.

Another MOustache Gone.

We don't know just the reason
why so many DEBORAH men who have
sported moustaches for a great many
years are getting rid of them, but
they are fast disappearing The lat
est one to disappear was worn by
Chas. Mollart, and as it disappear
ed since the high wind we had a
couple of weeks ago, we are dispos-
ed to think that Charley enlisted
the services of barber.

Some City Corn.

When it comes to city bred corn
Ammi Smith, who resides on East
Water street can boast of a champion
stalk, and one stalk is all he has
got. 1t just simply grew there in
mis- yard of its own accord, and got
no favors from Ammi, other than
he just let it grow to see where it
would stop It's so high now that
to husk it would require a step lad
der, and growing to beat the band.
It's just an Illustration of what the
crop IS throughout Winneshiek coun-
ty.
B. F. Headington, another first
ward resident, brought a II p foot
stock of corn up town Monday, from
his home near the fair grounds He
planted it the 18th day of May and
it was just two months old Monday.
1t is Yellow Dent, and he has half
acre of it, which will perhaps yield
him so bushels.
Just a couple of weeks ago the
farmers were kicking about two
much rain, because they couldn't
plow their corn. But now the situa-
ton is vastly different and old King
Corn fooled them all and has left the
weeds way behind. A drive through
the country any day now is worth a
good deal, because conditions were
never better, and old Winneshiek
looks like the garden of Eden.

DEBORAH Wins From Ridgeway.

A base ball game at the fair
grounds Sunday between a DEBORAH
team and Ridgeway, resulted in a
victory for DEBORAH by score of s
to 8. The superb fielding, heavy hit
ting and base stealing of Burton
Gilman, Decorah's left field artist,
contributed much to the winning of
the game.

Sunday morning Ashley Ellickson
and son Emick returned from their
auto trip to Douglass, H. and various
points. They report that harvest is
on in that part of the country, due
to dryness. Crops are not nearly
as good as here and the corn is
wilted in many places. These are
conditions as they are this year on
land that is rated at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per acre. A trip through
Winneshiek county will divulge a
vastly more promising state of af-
fairs.
