ESCAPED A WATERY
GRAVE.
Boat Turns Over in Midstream Spill
ing Occupants Out-Save Them
selves by Climbing Tree.

Five of our citizens, Messrs. H. M.
Hoadley, Chas. Keuhn, Len Hamil-
ton, Clyde Weldon and Cliff Smith,
had a narrow escape from drowning
in the river while it was the highest
on last Friday.
They had gone out on the river in
Mr. Hoadley's boat when it was over
turned in the main channel of the
river by running against a tree
which was leaning out over the chan
mel. All were thrown into the river
but as they were close to the tree
which caused the trouble they finally
climbed on it. Mr.. Hoadley who was
the best swimmer and the one with
the stoutest heart, pulled off his gum
boots and swan to the bank. On
his way to the bank he was caught
by some drift and went entirely un-
der it, but finally got to the bank and
came down town and secured a mo-
tor boat with which other members
of the party were rescued from their
perilous position on the submerged
tree where Mr.. Hoadley had left
them. The boys were badly scared
as they had a right to be, and were
mighty glad to see Mr.. Hoadley and
the motor boat come to their rescue.
They will be mighty careful about
their boat riding when the river is
at flood tide hereafter Gainesville

Drainage Ditch a success.

Editor Reporter was down at
Sedan, IN Appanoose county, during
the recent high waters, and saw the
results OF their drainage system.
They cut ditch IA feet wide and 10
feet deep, commencing one mile
northeast OF Sedan, running to the
Missouri state line, the old river bed
being about 35 miles long. This
ditch was cut five years ago, during
the dry period, and only the rains of
last fall and the recent high waters
have affected the ditch. 1t is sur
prising to sec how the ditch has been
enlarged by the action of the water,
and it also surprised me to see how
swift the water ran through this big
ditch. Old time citizens told me
lands in the valley would have had
from four to six feet of water cover
ing thm, but found them free from
overflow this year. About 5000
acres of land is directly affected by
the drainage ditch, and. the cost OF
construction was about $3.40 per
acre. Mr.. Varga, Of Leon, owns a
farm of 27O acres there, 200 acres
of it on the bottoms and only small
amount of it was under water.
know Of number of large tracts OF
valley land in Decatur county which
could be doubled in value i'll the own
ers would take advantage OF the
drainage law passed by the S3rd Gen
eral Assembly,, as the people on the
Charlton river near Sedan did, and
lstraighten the stream The cost in
proportion to the benefits which
would be derived would be merely
nominal. I have in mind the Bow

W eldon river A ditch beginning at
a point near where Steel creek emp
ties. into Weldon and terminating at
the state line, would insure a crop
any year, wet or dry. 1t would in
crease the crops nearly one-half and
increase the value of the land accord
ingly. The same thing 4 could be
done at various places on Grand and
Little rivers, and in fact, on every
stream in the county.

formerly resided in this city, was
painfully injured while working in
the blacksmith department of the
Burlington railroad shops at Creston
last Thursday. He was working with
big power trip hammer Welding a
bar of steel when pieces of the hot
metal flew off and struck him in the
eyes, and for time it was thought
he was blinded in both eyes, but he
can see out of his left eye and 1t is
possible the sight of the right eye
may also be saved. In jumping back
when the hot metal struck him, Mr..
Trisler fell and wrehched his back,
but this injury is not serious one.

Mrs. j. S. Beavers Accidentally
Poisoned.

Mr.. James S. Beavers, the well
known Woodland farmer, was in
Leon Saturday, and from him we
learned of the very narrow escape
from death of his wife, who early on
Tuesday morning of last week took
a big dose of copperas, mistaking the
poison for salts. Immediately after
taking the copperas Mrs. Beavers be-
came deathly sick, and neighbors
were summoned, who gave first aid
and DR.. Lovett, of Lineyille, was
hastily summoned, and he made a
record trip, to reach the Beavers
home. The doctor says that her life
was saved only because she took such
a big dose of the copperas, as small
er dose would have killed her. Mrs.
Beavers is now recovering, but was
very sick for some days.

Sues Burlington II. II. Co. for Over
time.

A case of rather unusual interest
has been commenced in the district
court at Centerville, in which L. w.
Orr, formerly freight clerk at the
Leon station, he sues to recover
$1,46l. go, which he claim is
due him for overtime which he per-
formed for the railroad company
while working at the Leon depot.
The plaintiff alleges in his petition,
that during the three years he was
employed at LeonIt the work was SO
heavy that he was compelled to put
in on an average three hours extra
time in each day in order to keep up
with the work. Counting these hours
at 80 cents per hour, which he claims
the railroad company allows for ex-
ira time, the overtime has reached
the sum Of 81, ,461 go, and he asks
Judgment for this amount.

Harvesting Weeds.
Mayors Notice.

Now is the time to cut or other
wise destroy all noxious weeds with
in the city limits in compliance with
the weed law passed by the thirty
fifth general assembly of Iowa, and
approved April 23, A. D. 1913. This
act makes it the duty, under penalty
for each owner, occupant, person,
company or corporation in control of
any lands within the state of Iowa,
whether the same shall consist of i'm
city lots, lands used for railroad
fright of way or depot grounds, lands
in which the public has an easement
for road, street or other right of way,
or lands used for any other purpose
whatsoever, to cut, burn, or other
wise entirely destroy all noxious
weeds as defined in section two (2)
hereof at such times in each year
and in such manner as shall prevent
the said weeds from blooming or
coming to maturity and to keen the
said lands free from all growths or
otter weeds as shall render the
streets or highways adjoining the
same unsafe for public travel, or
shall interfere in any manner with
the proper construction or repair of
said streets or highways, etc.
Following is a list of noxious
weeds:
Quack grass, Canada thistle, coc-
klebur, wild mustard, sour or curled
dock, smooth dock, buckhorn or
ribbed plantain, wild parsnip, horse
nettle, velvet weed or button weed,
burdOck, shoe fly, wild carrOt1 Rus

cut CT otherwise entirely destroyed
all nOxiOus weeds growing upon the
Sa:ie.
All other persons, companies or
corporations owning or controlling
lots or tracts of land within the city
limits are also hereby notified to
comfy with this law.
1t has been held that the alleys in
the residence blocks are primarily
private alleys, placed there for the
exclusive use of the properties abut-
ting thereon and as such should be
kept free from weeds and insanitary
matters by the owners or occupants
of said properties. 1t would seem
that each owner or occupant of a city
lot would take enough pride in it's
appearance. and the general looks of
our city to keep down the weeds in
and around such lots.
For by their weeds We shall know
them. :"
So let us all get busy and make
war to the death on all weeds, nox-

room for a more desirable growth.

Have Been Married Since Last Mo-
vember.

1t will be surprise indeed to the
many friends in this city of Miss
Poiteaux B. Halstead, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Halstead, of Van
Vert, to learn that she was married
on Nov. 10, 1914, the fortunate
groom being w. Warren Brown, Of
the University of Missouri, at Colum-
bia, Mo-, the ceremony being per-
formed at Huntsville, Mo-, while the
couple were on their way to Law
renee, Kansas, to attend the Mis-
souri-Kansas football game.
Mrs. Brown refused last spring to
consider a reelection as suerintend-
ent of the Van Vert public schools
in order to continue her studies, and
entered the University of Missouri at
Columbia last fall. The young couple
have carefully guarded their secret
and their parents knew nothing of
their marriage until last week. Both
of them have been very popular at
college, Mrs. Brown being member
of the Delta Gamma sorority, and
Mr.. Brown is member of the Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity and Quo
Yadis. He has competed on the
Tiger team for three years, and was
the crack pole yaulter of the team,
establishing record in clearing the
bar at II feet and 6 inches. He was
also business manager Of the 1915
Sayitar, the annual year book Of the
NniTsrSity sscnxae1 from one OF the,
best families in St Louis, and he has
won a prize for his life companion,
for Miss Halstead was a beautiful
and popular young lady. Mr.. Brown
is now teaching as special instruc-
tor in a Missouri Summer School,
and at the close Of the session they
will come to Van Vert for a visit
with Mrs. Browns parents They
will make their home at Charleston,
NO., where Prof. Brown has been
elected as member of the faculty
of the Charleston public schools.
The many friends of the bride in
this county extend hearty congratu-
lations, even if they are several
months late, and extend the hope
that their future may be as bright
and prosperous as their past.
