KIMMEL'S HOSTLER
ATTACKEDDYHORSE
NegrO's Life Saved When Man
Enters Stable and Beats
Animal.

Clarence Richards, negro hostlcr
employed by Allen Kimmel, yesterday
morning narrowly escaped death when
he was attacked by the roam pacing
horse belonging to Kimmel. The
horse tore a hole in Richards left
breast with his teeth and slashed open
the left side of his neck.
Richards was saved from the AM
mails attack by Will Reynolds, who
ran into Kimmel'S barn on Broadway
near Main street. when he heard Rich
ards calls for aid.
The roam PAGER which Kimmel drives
frequently about the street in the Cape
always has been vicious, kimmel said
last night. He appears gentle, but on
several occasions he has snapped at
passersby on the street.
Richards, who has been hostlcr
for Kimmel for about sixteen years,
had been taking care of the animal
since kimmel has had him. He never
had had any trobue with the animal.
because he believed that he had the
roam horse "bluffed"
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
Richards entered the animals stall in
the barn to work near the feed box.
He had his eyes averted from the
horse. when the roam turned quickly
and seized Richards left breast be
tween his teeth.
The horse then pushed Richards
against the side of the stall and began
beating him against the wall. He
struck Richards head on the plank
wall several times and had almost
beaten the negro into inscnsibility
when he was rescued from the savage
horses grasp.
Richards beat against the horses
head with his hands and kicked him
about the legs to no avail. The horse
laid back his ears and closed his eyes
as he clampcd his teeth together OH
Richards body and shook him. The
horse in turn attempted to tramplc
Richards feet.
When Reynolds entered the barn, nc
seized a whip and beat the animal off.
As the horse was torn loose from
Richards breast his teeth slashcd the
blacks neck, laying it wide open.
Richards was taken to doctor at
once and after he had received Cmcr-
gcncy treatment, he returned to the
stable to aid in trimming the roam.

N FORMAL ENROLMENT
GREATER THAN 1915
President DearmOnt Says Lead
Over Last Year Will be
Maintained.

The enrolment at the Normal
School yesterday afternoon at the
close of the first week was cOnsidera-
bly, in excess Of 400 and in advance of
the mark reached year ago, accord
ing to announcement by President w
S. DearmOnt.
Last year no record of the exact en-
rollmcnt on the Friday at the close OF
the first week was made, so that ar
exact comparison with last year is not
possible However, the record for 9
year ago Monday has been kept and
at the close of the enrolling work this
Monday, it will be possible to see how
much greater the enrolment is this
fall than a year ago.
The enrolment at the end of the
first day exceeded last years marx
by 26 This lead has been maintained
DearmOnt said.
The regular work at the Norma
commenced in the class rooms Thurs,
day and little difficulty has been ex.
perienced in the adjustments OF
classes.
At the close of the first week in the
city public schools, the enrolment fol
the entire city was increased by p
pupils. These were scattered through
the various buildings.
This slight increase during the first
week, is on account of the fact that
a great number of the pupils register
ed in their classes on the first day
Superintendent Crocker said last
night.
The newspaper publicity that was
given to the opening of school and the
minute directions that were given to
the pupils and their parents, l think
has been responsible for getting out
a large roll on the first day.
Work in the various buildings this
week has gone on in very normal
way, much as if the pupils had been
attending classes all summer.
The boys at the high school are
planning to have football team this
fall to compete with various other high
school teams in Southeast Missouri.
Yesterday afternoon, about Is of the
boys trying out for the team had their
first practice on the grounds at the
Lorimier school. The team will be
coached by Arthur McGinnis, a new in
structor at the High school, who will
be in charge of all the athletics of the
boys this year.
McGinnis last night said he expects
about . boys to find an old football

transform FLOODS
CHAS. ALTERS Home
Water, Four-feet Deep, Reaches
Level of First FIoor-Tem-
perature Drops.

A small flood that followed in the
wake of the heavy rainstorm in the
Cape yesterday morning marooned the
family of Charles Alters in their home
on Benton street, west of the new
High School building.
The Alters home was surrounded
for distance of several feet by a
body of water about four feet deep
that approached the level of the first
floor. There is no stone foundation be-
meath the structure and the water
forced its way in under the house.
Mr.. Alters and his wife were the
only ones at home when the storm
came up followed by the inundatiOn of
their yard When their son, Rudy, at
tempted to return home from work at
noon for lunch, his parents signalled
to him to remain away, that it was
impossible for him to get to them.
Rudy then went to the home of
Judge w. H. Willer for lunch and re-
lated the circumstances of his parents
being maroOned.
The water late last night had not
completely drained off, and it was with
vast deal of difficulty that con-
nection was effected. The men were
forced to wade back and forth to the
house and carry in supplies.

Cape and Cape County was genera

Charleston, Mo-, Sept. 22.-F. j.
Wilkinson of Charleston has one farm
on which he has raised crop of wheat
and corn in the same year.
As soon as the wheat was harvested
the land was planted in corn with the

EX-SENATOR HENRY RIDDEN
 DISCUSSES NEW MINING LAW

Among the arrivals from Fairbanks who reached the city oh the launch Edna on Wednesday, morning last was ex-Senato Henry Roden. Since leaving here last sum me~ Mir Roden was located for some months at Juneau. He went Outside during the winter, and prior to his return to Alaska he visited the San Francisco and San Diego cxpositions, which he describes as wonderful shows Mir Roden will remain in Iditarod during the coming term of court, but he did not announce his future plans.
 The ex-senator, when asked as to the merits of the new mining law, passed by the recent Alaska legislature, expressed strong disapproval of some of its provisions. The elimination of one of the main features of the old or ''Roden" law-the requirement that Sl00 worth of assessment work be done yearly on each twenty acres of placer ground he regarded as a mistake. The new law requires that $100 worth of work must be done on a claim during the year in which it is located The Roden law required the work to be done within ninety days. This feature of the law" said Senator ROden, "is bound to bring confusion and litigation. For instance, if man stake a claim on December 31, how Is he to comply with the requirement that S100 worth of work must be done in the year of location? Sen ator Dan Sutherland, who has just returned from the Tolovana, and whom I met on my journey from Fairbanks told me that the whole country is already completely staked, and that the holders are relying on the provisions of the new Jaw to postpone doing their assessment work The result is IL I,++ loio f h. district in spite of so many locations being

RARE POLITICAL SAGAClTY

If you notice an air of swagger and as surance on the pert of his honor, Mayor Stanton, these days do not attribute t to the fact that he has been given more than ordinarily large retainer, or that he has been offered the post of ambassador to the court of St. James Far more significant than either of these his ability as political prophet has been vindicated, and that when his money backed his judgment, It hap pened in this manner:
 Some months ago, on one of those rare occasions when Ned allows himself to be drawn into an argument on political mat ters Secretary of State Bryan and his poll cies were under discussion. Now, MT. Stan ton is not noted as an admirer of the boy orator of the Platte" and his Republican instincts revolted at the thought of the policies of the nation being in a measure directed by the great commoner." He Ct- fered to bet an immense sum that within three months Secretary Bryan would hand in his resignation, but later amended this offer so as to read that The would bet S5 that he would not be secretary of state at khe expiration of six months" The wager was accepted When the news of Bryan's s resignation reached Iditarod the time limit of the wager was still month distant. Ned could not believe the news was true, and hot footing to the wireless station, he ex- pended more than the amount won in send ing a message of inquiry to confirm the newspaper story.
 But the confirmation of his political !udg- ment was worth all it cost to Ned.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Mrs. MutchIer Explains Iditarod. Alaska, June 10, 1915


 Editor Iditarod Pioneer:
 There seems to have been some little talk about the payment of bills owed by Mir Mcleod for whose benefit a collection was recently made. That there may be no mls- understanding, desire to say that the bills for medical attendance, hospital services clothing and incidentals were voluntarily reduced by the creditors, and smaller amounts accepted by them in full payment than was justly their due. In this way spent S249.50 of the amount collected by me.
 A laundry bill was donated by Mrs Patchell to MT Mcleod personally before he left Flat City Mir Stanley and myself agreed to look to the government alone for the entire amounts coming to us for board and lodging. -
 Yours truly, SELMA MUTCHLER.
