call far out south of town one
night this week and on the way
back got tangled up in the mud
and water and had to call help
to get out of the bottoms. A
resident came and led the way
along the ticklish road which
proved so rough that Doc was
thrown out of the rig into the
water and mud under the rig.
When the rig stopped, the wheel
was making a dent in the physi.

who was acting guide. called for
the absent physician and a weak
piping voice answered here"
Huckaby dug the physician Out
the mud and he returned to his

The road is the worst in the

Cloudburst

1t was a real waterspout
Tuesday. 1t happened about noon
and the report of DIR. Dewey
who has a government raingage
shows that in a comparatively
short time over four inches of
rain fell, to. be accurate, 4.16
inches The roads; railroads and
sidewalks were rivers and lakes
of water. Ballast washed out of
the Wabash road, fields were
lakes and ever gully was a torrent
There was considerable electri-
city too and taking ALI all, it
was one of the most violent rains
we have had this year. A rain
was needed this time but the
first one, Monday, would have
been sufficient without the deluge
that occurred Tuesday. 1t was

up a good part of the downpour
and if there can be some hot days
and frequent showers the corn
will turn out well.

Attempt to Rob a Bank

Brookfeld had a sensation
Monday when the report was
spread that an attempt had been
made to Rob the Wheeler bank.
1t did not get far but it was far
enough to throw a scare into the
bankers and the residents of the
town. The two thieves went to
the Mcnamara barn and hired
an auto. They drove to the coun-
try and then told the driver,
Benway, that he was to accom-
pany them to the town and carry
them away after the bank was
robbed. He was to get $100 for
doing it and death was to be his
portion for refusal. Driving back
to town he reported to the men
that something had gone wrong
with the machine and he went
into a house near the road to get
some repair materials. The rob-
bers noticed that there was a
telephone wire running into the
house and got wise. When Ben
way returned to the road after
telephoning to the authorities of
the plans, the robbers were out
of the machine and hustling up
the road. A posse went after
them but it was regarded doubt
ful if they could be caught. They
left some laundry bearing the
mark of the Quincy laundry.

Effective law is the unani-
nous view of the community.
No statutory or official authority
contrary to public sentiment has
weight. No mob or member of
a mob which sprung from a gen.
eral feeling of outraged principle
or sentiment has ever been pun
ished. Carrying out the ser-
tence of the courts of Georgia by
the mob which hung Leo Frank
and the reputation of an alb
sconding governor who stultified
all the courts and jury, is only a
parallel with similar cases in Illi-
nois, Ohio, Indiana and Kansas.
