CREDIT THIS TO "DRUMMERS"
Knights Of the Road Put Up shrewd
Scheme to Aid Widsw In
Dire Situation.


"That the drummer IL the right sort
Of chap was demonstrated to me to-
day." said Pittsburger. Coming in
on the train was q widow woman with
three kids. From the amount of her
drapery she had on guess her hus-
band had just died and left her q gum
tree. You could tell she had seen
good, easy times, but maybe there was
some neglect about insurance. What
with the kids and other reasons you
could see she was nervous about this
travelling. Anyhow, we hadn't gone
far before the conductor found out that
she was on the wrong train. Then she
broke down, but she was as proud as
well-bred woman could be. 1t didn't
take the drummers-thers were six Of
them-long to find out that she was 30
badly fixed that she had spent her last
dollar on tickets and was like to be
stranded with the kids In place
where she didn't want to land. The
drummers wanted to help her, but they
didn't know how to 60 about it; she
was so darned reserved that no one
had the nerve to offer to pull her out.
But finally they got in the smoke room
and figured out the thing on q time
table. They all Clipped in and then
called in the conductor. He was the
right sort Of fellow. The way he
done 1t was fine. He walked back to
the lady with thoughtful air and
said he had telegraphed to New York
and had had the tickets changed. To
see that woman's face would have
done you good"

George George Van IA. Of Perry, in
Critical Condition.

Peila, New. a.-George Van IA, aged
II years. a son of MIR. and Mrs. Artie
Van IA. collided with an automobile
Sunday evening at the northwest
corner of the square. The lad was
riding bicycle and was going at a
good rate of speed. He had his head
down and did not see that an auto
mobile had turned directly across his
path. Noting that the boy did not
see the auto and unable to turn out on
account OF another machine alongside
the driver had almost stopped his car
when the wheel crashed directly into
his radiator. The rider was thrown
with much force directly against tho
radiator resulting in fractured skull
and a badly laceraied face. He was
picked up unconscious and the injuries
are thought 70 be fatal.
An operation was performed in the
effort TO relieve the pressure on the
brain but the outcome is in doubt.
The boy is still unconscious. He was a
popular lad and we'll known. having
been in the service of the L. Wiellard
Company grocery.
The auto was being driven by Mrs.

WANTED TO SEE SCHOOL BURN.
Wee Pupil in Cedar Rapids Kinder
oarten Starts Fire in Waste Basket.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. because he
wanted to see the Jackson school
burn like the Baptist church last week,
and especially because ne desired to see
its tower fall 20 the ground Ike the
top OF the Baptist tower fell, little
kindergartener set fire TO the Jackson
school Monday forenoon.
That the school did not burn was
due to the cool-headed work of Miss
Marian Shepard, one of the kinder
garten teachers, and that there was
not panic among the pupils was due
TO the prompt pulling Of the fire drill
bell by Mrs. Esther McCandles, another
of the Kindergarten teachers.
The youngster started the fire in a
basket of finsy colored paper used
by the kindergartners in their work.
The school house was filed with chill
dren, and when the basket of papers
began to blaze up hercely, both of the
teachers had vision Of REPETITION Of
the Baptist church confiagrat!on.
Miss Shepard hastily got some water
and put out the flames before a very
great amount OF damage had been
done. Meanwhile Mrs. McCandless
pulled the rope giving the signal for
the fire drill. The school was emptied
in two minutes and the children did
not even know there had been 2 fire
in the basement.
But the fire did damage enough so

CAN'T FIND HElTcAMP.
Boone County Searehers Fail to Obtain
Clue to Missing Man.

Boone, Nov. "A search has failed
to reveal the Whereabouts OF Martin
Heitcamp. of Amaqua township, who
left his home Friday morning and has
not been heard from since. A desperate
effort has been made by friends and
relatives to find some trace Of the
missing man but so far without sue
cess. Foul play was suspected oy
many as it was known that Ar. Heit-
camp had cashed large check before
leaving home. An investigation has
showed that his financial and domestic
affairs were not such as to cause him
TO destroy himself While 1t Is known
that he had some few small debts it is
thought that this would not be the
cause for his disappearance. His wife
and three small children are worried
over his disappearance.
At the time Of his disappearance he
wore brown suit. He is described as
being 80, years Of age; weight, 100;
height, five feet ten inches. His hair
was dark and had recently been clipped
close to the scalp. There was long
scar en- his forehead sustained IN a
fall when boy, one front tooth was
missing, a gold crown shows plainly
when he talks.

IOWA SUPREME COURT MAKES
IMPORTANT RULING REGARD.
ING PEACE OFFICERS.
FIRST DECISION OF
KIND IN UNITED STATES
Suit Brought to Enjoin Muscatins
County From Paying Salaries Of Men
Imported During Strike-Supreme
Court Reverse Lower Court and
County Must Pay 5000.

| Muscatine, Nov. 2. - Counties may
have the privilege Of importing deputy
| sheriffs from other cities or states to
assist in preserving order in conf
munity.
| This is decision just handed down
by the supreme court of lava affecting
/ litigation, instituted in the Muscatine
district court by J. U. Rehmel, Amelia
| Rehmel, L. G. Young and Bertha Rain
bow against the board Of supervisors
shortly following the famous button
strike in 1912. At the time an injunc-
ton was secured prohibiting the coun-
ty from paying sixteen deputies who
! had been brought to this city from
Chicago. An appeal was taken to the
supreme court, a decision having been
handed down Saturday which reverses
/ the holding Of the local court and
gives the county the sanction of en-
sagins such deputies and paying them.
The Iowa decision is expected TO
have far-reaching effect. particularly
in mining districts where strikes are
frequent. A precedent is established
/ by the Iowa supreme court by reason
that the case is the first in the United
States of its kind upon which high
court has given a ruling.
Z. NJ. Warner represented the super
v:sors in the appeal to the supreme
court. The firm of ]. R. Hanley & Son
acted as counsel for the Rehnael-
Young Rainbow faction. The superv;s
crs who were named as defendants il
the original suit were A. c. Noble, NJ.
J. Shellgb arger. George ]. Lang. ]. W.
FIater and H. B. Phillips. Other de-
PENDANTS were Ray E. Johnson. county
treasurer: a. s Lawrence, county
auditor; AMI David Vanatta sheriff.
Stop Payment.
The action was brought several years
ego 10 enjoin the payment of salaries
OF sixteen deputy sheriffs who were
brought 20 Muscatine. The deputies
were non presidents of Muscatine. After
rendering the services which their po-
SION required OF them the county
treasurer and other officials were en-
joined from paying the salaries of The
deputies upon the sole ground that
they we're non-residents of the state of
Iowa.
Virtually the only issue in the case
was whether such deputies, who had
been imported from another state,
could legally serve in that capacity.
A hearing was had upon the appli-
cation for temporary injunction before
Judge William Theophilus, who granted
| the temporary injunction sought. Sub
! sequently. the case was submitted to
Judge L. J. Koran, who made the de-
cree permanent.
