RUN AWAY HORSES
ROLL into RIVER
Team Belonging to Joseph Zoell-
ner, Halted as They Emerge
From Water.

A team belonging to Joseph Zoellner
of East Cape, became frightened at an
approaching train on the river front
yesterday afternoon, and despite all
efforts to head them off, dashed mad
iy UP the levee, regardless of all OBJ
stacles that they encountered in their
flight
When they reached a point almost
directly in front of the Dempsey Gro
Gerry Co., they ran over large pile of
coal. In their struggles, both horses
fell, the wagon turned over and the
wagon and team rolled into the river.
The horses regained their feet
quickly after entering the water, but
continued to run toward the deep,
swift flowing current. When it began
to look as if they would certainly
drown, they circled and came back to-
ward the shore.
When they reached the bank they
were so nearly exhausted that they
made no attempt to escape when the
driver approached them. The team
was detached from the rig while the
wagon was being righted, after which
it was again hitched up and driven on
the ferry boat.
Both horses received slight injuries
to their knees when they fell on the
cobble stones, but were not injured
otherwise, and the wagon was but
slightly damaged.
The team had been left standing
while the driver stepped into one of
the river front stores to make some
purchases, and when the train dashed
by them, they became suddenly fright
ened and ran away before he had OPP
portunity to seize them.

ALLEGED HORSETHIEF HERE
Sheriff Summers Returns from Poplar
Bluff With Frank EdmondsOn.

Sheriff William A. Summers re-
turned last night from Popular Bluff,
having in custody Frank Edwardson,
an alleged horsethief who is accused
of having stolen a valuable mare few
days ago from L. E. Beyerback of this
city.
Eiwardson was captured at DOni-
phan after disposiRg of the Beyerback
animal in Poplar Bluff.
The Sheriff last night stated that
his prisoner had maintained a sullen
disposition and refused to divulge his
past. He denied that he had ever been
in Cape Girardeau until few days
ago when he came across the river on
the ferry boat from Illinois. He in
formed the Sheriff that he was riding
a bay horse when he reached this city
but refused to say how he came into
possession of it or what disposition he
had made of it.
Some farmers from Illinois who
were at the depot when the train ar
rived claimed to be able to identify
the prisoner as the same party who
recently stole bay mare and a black
mule from near Burnside, H., and
brought them to Missouri.
One of the members of the Illinois
delegation stated that they had heard
that the mare and mule were impound-
ed in this city and that he had come
over to ascertain the correctness of
the report.
Sheriff Summers took his prisoner
to Jackson where he was placed in
Jail to await his preliminary hearing

MAD DOG KILLED AFTER
1T HAS FIT OVER WATER
Waltrr LOOncy Stays Canine As 1t
Attempts to Enter West
End Yard.

Walter LOOneT, young farmer liv-
ing in the western edge of this city,
after an exciting chase, shot and kill
ed a mad dog that he had discovered
running over his premises yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Looney said the dog was fine
specimen of the shepherd or collie va
riety and that his attention was direct
ed to his splendid appearance when he
passed the house.
He was watching the dog when it
came to a small branch of water, at
the sight of which it was thrown into
commissions.
After rolling and struggling for
several minutes, the animal struggled
to its feet and began swapping at
imaginary objects, and at anything
with which it came in contact.
1t started away in the direction of
Bud Beaudean's residence and Mr.
Looney pursued it with his gun. When
the dog reached the center of the
Beaudean field, it turned and took a
circular course which brought it back
toward the Looney home. Mr.. Looney
cut across the field and when within
range, fired and killed the dog just as
it was going through the fence into
his yard.
Mr.. Looney said the dog was foam
ing at the mouth. He is certain it was
suffering with rabies.

AUTOMOBILE DIVES
In SWOLLEN CREEK
Charles HI. OverstoIz and Party
Swim Out OF, Stream, Then

An automobile driven by Charles H
Overstolz plunged into a swoller
stream on the county road just mile
and one-half cast of Oak Ridge Sun.
day afternoon, and the five occupants
of the machine were compelled to dis
mount in the middle of the current and
swim to the bank.
The stream is known as Turner
creek, but is only branch. A rain
storm, which reached the proportions
of cloudhurSt, transformed the rivu-
let into a river. Mr. Overstolz, be-
lieving that it was but a puddle, at
tempted to drive across it. He was
nearing the western bank when the
machine dropped into a step-oof and
the tonneau vanished beneath the
waves.
The water covered the top of the
four wheels, and entered the bed of
the car. The engine, filled with sand
and water, refused to generate power.
and the automobile and its passengers
were marOoned more than thirty feet
from the nearest bank, with the water
rapidly rising.
Max ]. koeck, wife and baby were
among the occupants of the machine.
The other passenger was Mrs. J. P.
Whiteside. Mr. OverStolz took charge
of the baby and swan to the bank with
the youngster clinging to his back.
Mr.. Koeck towed the two ladies TO
shore.
The wreck presented a spectacular
aspect. After the passengers were
safely landed, the question of rescu-
ing the machine became a problem.
The stream continued to rise, and Mr..
Overstolz feared it would be carried
down the current before he could 10
cate farmer and team.
He hurried to the home of John
Turner, about a half mile away, and
the farmer offered his assistance.
When he reached the scene with a
span of mules, the front of the ma
chine had been inundated. In order to
attach a rope to the axle, it was nee
essary for Mr.. Overstolz to perform
a ea-diving act. But he finally fast
ened the rope and the machine was
drawn out of the water.
NJ. Overstolz and Mr.. Koeck re-
moved a portion of the mud from the
engine, and after the stream receded,
the homeward trip was begun. But
after distance of two miles, the bat
teries gave away, and achievements
were telephoned for from Cape Girar-
deau. Walter D: Black sen two small
machines to the scene, and the car
which had been immersed was given

day and brought the car back to the
city, none the worse for its experience.

CONGRESSMAN is UNION MADE.
Carl c. Van Dyke of St. Paul to Join
Labor Group in Washington

The Minnesota Union Advocate of st.
Paul, Mimi. is justified in being happy.
This is shown by the following edi-
torial:
This congressional district has a
large advantage over many Others in the
means by which its newly elected rep
rcsentative has been produced. Some
districts are boasting loudly that their
representatives are self-made men.
Others are sorrowfully lamenting that
theirs are machine made. This district
rejoices in the fact that its new con-
grcssman is union made and proudly
wears the label of his fellowship with
the working people. Carl c. Van Dyke
is his name, and the labor unions of St.
Paul constituted by far the greatest
part of the force that put him through
so handsomely. Incidentally, the Min
nesota Union Advocate. the official or
gan Of those unions. was the only paper
in the district that gave him zealous,
whole-hsarted support in his campaign
and earnestly advocated his election"
