Mr.. and Mrs. c. Bales and daughter,

a farmer living south of Kellogg, and
his hired man, J. Van Lindenden, were
the five who went thru the exciting ex-

Wagon Overturned.
The party Of five, in Mr.. Van Camps
wagon, were going to the Van Camp
farm, the Des Moines people to visit
over Sunday. When they had gone
part of the way on the approach to
the bridge huge cake of ice. carried
by the swift current of the river which
at that time had risen higher than the
surface of the bridge, dashed into the
wheels of the wagon. The vehicle was
overturned. For a while the five chung

then they made their way to the bridge.
From there their way was blocked on
each side by the water SO that they
could go neither forward nor back

For nearly eight hours Mrs. Bales
clinging to her 9-year-old daughter,
was compelled, with the others, to
stand in twelve inches Of water fear
full every minute that the supports Of
the bridge would give away and that
they would be swept up by the swift
current.
Mrs. Bales Unconscious.
At $3.50 Mrs. Bales and her daugh-

unconscious and at first was thought
to be in dying condition. The daugh-

Forty five minutes later the men were
rescued. 1t took the efforts of the
firemen Of the Grinnell fire department
to rescue them. The Rock Island rail-
road ran a special train from Grim

There was no boat strong enough in
Kellogg to cope with the current of the
river and the townspeople Of Kellogg
were unable, without the help of the
Grinnell firemen. to effect the rescue.

Unknown Man Drowned.

Des MoineS, Feb. 10.-An unknown
man lost his life in the Des Moines
river Saturday night. The circum-
stances of his death are unknown and
may never be known, except that resi-
dents along the bank Of the river, be-
low it's juncture with the Raccoon
heard his cries for help and dimly saw
him floating in mid-stream on a cake
of ice. The cries stopped suddenly.
The police received a call at mid
night to the east end Of the Great
Western railroad bridge. Henry Van
derwerf Of 4O1 South East Shaw
street, one of those who heard the
cries and tried to rescue the drowning
man, sent in the call

kept busy all Saturday night and all
day Sunday keeping the ice from
tanning against the street car bridge
over the cutofr at the Raccoon river.
Another gang employed by the street
the old covered bridge used by the
Fort Des Moines and sevastopol lines.
No cars were run over either struc-
ture, altho it was announced late
yesterday that neither had suffered
materially from the flood danger.
The ice was broken in the Raccoon
by the use of dynamite and the Jams
prevented by the use Of long poles.
Whenever the ice cakes began to ac-
cumulate against any portion Of the
bridge one charge Of dynamite was
exploded III the midst of the pile.
Usually that was sufficient to cause
the pressure to relax, and attention
was Immediately directed to some
other point.
