is properly rewarded by the Wabash.
Mr.. Taylor, who is a grain dealer.
went to bed about 7:45 Monday night.
He lives a half mile east Of cordova.
His home is within fifty yards OF the
Wabash tracks He was just doing
off to sleep when Wabash No. 3, COM
ing to Des Moines, passed his home
about 1855. Many trains pass Mr..
Taylors home during the night. The
click of the wheels on the rail became
very familiar sound.
But when No. whizzed by his
home, he heard a humping and a
pounding intermingled with the click
of the wheels. There was something
more than the mere click OF wheel and
rail- And just because the clatter did
not sound familiar to his ear. 1t made
him a bit nervous He tried to go to
sleep but couldn't.
He had a bunch something was
wron. In order to satisfy himself so
he could go to sleep. he got out OF bed,
dressed, lit the lantern and went to
investigate. He looked all along both
rails.
His bunch was right. One OF the
rails was broken squareIy in two in
one place and partly broken in two
another. The break was within Is
inches of the end of the rail.
Whether No. 3 broke the rail Is not
known. But the trainmen are sure
No. bent and twisted the broken rail
until 1t would have ditched any train
going over it at high speed.
No. IA left Des Moines at 9:05. 1t
reached Cordova about 10 o'clock. But
Taylor went a half mile up the track
with his lantern and tagged the pas
senger. No IA was coming full speed.
1t does not stop at Cordova. Taylor
told the engine crew Of his discovery.
They went to the broken rail
The engineer told Mr. Taylor that If
No IA had struck that rail the whole
train would Undoubtedly have been
piled up in the ditch
BY pulling slowly. No. IA crossed
the broken rail without getting off the
track
Mr. Taylor stayed on the job with
his lantern until section men from
Fifield could get to Cordova with
new rail Then he crawled back to
bed
Trainmen have written to the SUI
perintendent OF the Wabash telling
how Mr.. Taylor saved the train.

Flood Most Serious in History Of West
ern Iowa.

eTf IOWA
Sioux City. Sept. 30.-An area of
about 10000 acres is under water in
the vicinity of Pisgah, Iowa, according
to reports received in Sioux City from
Telephone stations near Pisgah. The
flood which has been caused by the
overflow of the Soldier river, is said
TO be the worst in the memory of resi-
dents.
Water running thru the business sec
ton OF the town is from six to eight
feet, deep. Merchants worked al day
yesterday removing their goods TO the
highlands. reports said.
Fear was expressed that the water
would again rise, as it was reported
at Northwestern railroad offices that
rain had resumed. The town has been
without train and telephone service
since early Sunday morning.
w. A. Pride. civil engineer living in
Missouri Valley, which is a short dis
tarce from the flooded district. last
night said that about 5000 acres OF
land Is being covered with water just
west Of Pisgah because of a break in a
levee which occurred at a cutoff ditch
on the Soldier river. The break came
early yesterday morning.
!: He SAID that the amount OF damage
to crops and property can not be es-
fifnated until the water recedes. 1t is
feared that the loss will be heavy thru
ont the flooded district The greatest
damage will be to corn and hay. Sow
ing of winter wheat will be prevented

Pride said. The water is running out
of the first floor windows in the hotel.
The bank. which is located in new
brick building, contains water The
bank was considered to be out of the
flood district.
Mr.. Pride said that old settlers de-
clared the water is two and one half
feet higher than it has ever been. The
telephone office is being moved and an
effort is being made to reopen COM
muniCation.
With the continuance of the rain and
break in the levee on the Soldier cut
off, it is feared that the water will
reach a portion of Mondamin Mr., Pride
said last night. The levee is located a
short distance below PiSgah.

When Kenneth Seaver, chief ensin-

Seaver wanted to know That's my

GOOD MUSICAL
ENTERTAINMENT

One of the best musical entertain
ments ever given in Blackfoot was
presented Friday evening at the High
School auditorium by the Welsh
Gwent Singers. The company con-
sisted of some IL men possessing
voices of great excellence. Those who
did not hear them can appreciate
none. 1t was high, clean soul-in-
spring treat throughout, and one
such evening is worth score of poor
ones.
The singers were tall, short slim,
everything but fat, and when they
rose to sing, they just got up and
ambled forward not at all like clock
work, not as one man nor as a troup
that is ambitious to move in unison,
but as men who know their parts
and will be ready when the others
are. These able men who sing to
kings and presidents are natural in
their movements and are Indifferent
to that, but in use of their voice their
work seems perfect. Blackfoot was
fortunate in securing them, and is
indebted to Mr.. Buchanan and Mr..
Vincent for the venture.

THAT POOL
HALL BILL

We have letter from Representa-
tive P. G. Johnston in which he says
he Is glad to have constituents write
him their views of pending legisla-
tion. He has had expressions from
la number of people regarding the
bills affecting pool halls and gambling
devices, and says he has had the bills
modified to what he thinks is fair.
He does not want to work a hard
ship on those who operate respect
liable places, and he does not believe
in closing up places of amusement
where men wish to assemble to play
social games or to play with the un-
derstanding that the losers pay for
the game. He thinks the slot ma
chimes should be abolished along
with other devices that are the kind
ergarten of gambling.

Is found in this issue under the head
ing, "Pool Hall Bills are Ready"

STATE MAY FoRECLosE LOANS
Grand jury waints Reports, May
Recommend Action

When the grand jury convenes
again it will probably have brought to
its attention any matters which w. H.
Gleason may discover in the investi-
cation he is now conducting of the
state land and treasury departments
This is the situation with regards to
the investigation of the land depart
ment by the jury according to county
Attorney Givens.
There is a possibility that civil ac-
tion may be started to foreclose on
some mortgages held by the state in
which the interest is overdue.
At the request of the governor,
Register Jennes has prepared list
of loans on which the interest is over
due. This totals about $4,000. The
names of some of the most promi-
nent men of the state are said to be
included in the list given the COVER
nor.
The governor has not disclosed
what course he will pursue in regards
to this list but inferred Saturday that
he might turn the list over to the
land board and request that fore
closure proceedings be started.
