Eighty-six passengers of a Southern
Pacific Mexican train were thrown

armies. They first derailed the train,
which was running from Campo
Verde to Torres, after which they
placed the passengers, many Of
whom were women and children, in
the hay car and applied the torch.
So far as known no Americans were
on the train.

IAN ELECTRIC
LIGHT WAR ON
At iowa FALLS
Two Companies at Iowa Falls Bat
Ting for Public
Favor. r.
EDITOR WANTS SETTLEMENT
Asks Public to Throw Patronage to
One Company and Prevent
Further Strife.
EDITOR WANTS SETTLEMENT

Iowa Falls, Sept. 27.-An electric
light war seems imminent in this
city and the old company which en-
joyed exclusive operation here for
years and made few improvements
in it's equipment, is now making
some changes and by solicitation
and claims is seeking to hold the
lighting business against the new
plant which has just been built by
Cedar Rapids capitalists who were
welcomed by the public few
months ago with open hands, for
with new and up-to-date plant, the
public felt that it was at last to have
a public utility worthy of the name
and of the city.
A tendency in some quarters to
straddle the fence and play favor
ties has brought the press of the
city into play and in a strong article
recently, Editor Ira A. Nichols, of
the Hardin County Citizen, sums up
the whole matter in a brief article
and calls upon the public to end this
war for business, pointing out the
fact that every dollar spent by the
rival companies will eventually be
paid by the public.
To this end, Editor Nichols ap-
peals to the people to stand by the
company that is to be the future
company of the city and throw its
patronage and influence in that d.
rection. 1t is admitted that there
is not sufficient business here for
two plants and that sooner or later
one of them must succumb to the in
evitable. The end is only prolonged
by a division of the business the
people gives these public utilities
and the longer the day of reckoning
is put off the larger the bill the pub
lie will have to pay in the shape of
a "war budget"

Basement.
FRED BoLDT IN $4,000 SUIT

Traer, Sept. 27.-Fred Boldt, Of
Gladbrook, who lived many years in
north Crystal township is in trouble
for talking too much. He is alleged
to have told on the street that he
had seen Rev. Mr.. Stiverson, U. B.
pastor there, with Mrs. Roy Brown,
in the basement Of the church one
day when no lights were turned on.
He admitted that they were ten or
twelve feet apart and that other
women were in the basement at the
time, but the story was told in an
Objectionable way and the church
people thought it best to have Q
trial. So church trial was held at
which the district superintendent
presided and Rev. Mr.. Bower, of
Garwin, acted as secretary. Nothing
was provided to substantiate the in
ferences. The evidence secured
shows that Mrs. Brown was not In
the church at all that day, although
several other church women worked
there.
The committee reported the pas
tor innocent of the charge and eras-
ed Fred Boldt's name from the
church rolls. But Mrs. Brown was
not content to let the matter drop
there. Her ire is up. She meander-
ed to Toledo and made a deal with
attorneys to sue Mr.. Boldt for s25,-
900 damages. The case will likely
come up in the October term of
court.

Dvinsk, while in Volhynia and Cali
cia, the Russians continue to harass
the Austro-Germans, who had de-
signs on Kiev, from which town
they now are further away than they
were a few weeks ago.
General Ivanoff apparently is de-
termined to hold back the Austro-
Germans and his efforts are meeting
with a considerable measure of sue
cess. The fortress triangle which
includes Dubno, Rovno and Lutsk, is
almost entirely in the possession OF
the Russians.
In Galicia the Austrians have been
driven back across the rivers which
run parallel to the border.
The italians, like the rest of il e
allies, report number of successes
in taking fortified mountains from
the Austrians.

The temperature in the upper

fall. According to the local wealth
er forecaster, the temperature will
rise slowly in the west today and
in this section Tuesday. Rain will
continue Monday in the lake region
and westward to the northern Rock

Mrs. j. i. Kamrar entertained
about sixty ladies Saturday after
noon at delightful one O'Clock
luncheon at her home on south Will

breakfast porch, and the outer gloom

benas while jardinieres of fall asters
were placed in all the rooms of the
home. The luncheon was served in
three courses, the place card and
nut basket combination being espec-
tally pretty decorated with water
color drawings of fall fruits and
flowers. Following the luncheon a
charming musical program of about
twelve numbers was given by Miss
Rosalind Cook, pianist, who was
compelled to respond to almost as
many encores. AS an entertainer
Miss Cook has few super
Tors and this portion of the after
noon was especially enjoyed. The

Lewis.
