He DEFIED THE FLOOD
And Is Reported to Have Had Some
Unpleasant Experiences.

Flood conditions along Skunk river
bottom lands have led TO all manner
of endorsements and inconvenience,
not the least pitiful of which was
suffered by James NJ. Smith and
James McLandsborough, two well
known farmers of Adams township.
They took upon themselves an oath
of secrecy and swore not to tell, but
murder will out"
People in Adams township have
been driving to Lacey and taking the
train for Oskaloosa since the high
water has shut off roadway Communi-
cation. MeSsrs. Smith and McLands-
borough, however, knew they could
get across the submerged grade in a
buggy and set out for town one morn
ing this week. Arrived at the Glen
dale bottoms, they plunged through
the flood and were in the deepest and
swiftest water, almost to the bed OF
the buggy, when something had to
happen. One of the tugs came I'M
fastened and dropped out Of reach.
The team did not like the rushing
quiet Some one had to jump out
of the buggy and fasten the tug. Mr..
McLandsborough was i'll, and hence
Smith volunteered to make the
plunge. He did not relish the idea
of soaked clothing, however, so be-
fore leaving the buggy he disrobed.
as far as possible, leaving on his
shoes and q few other small things.
He was next wading in water almost
up to his neck. Ever take a plunge
in ice water? That's what Mr.. Smith
did. By the time he captured the
loosened tug and found its fastening
under the water. he was thoroughly
chilled and could hardly climb back
into the buggy. He tried to stand
up to get his trousers adjusted, but
was shaking so violently from the
cold that he missed his aim and set
his foot down into a basket of fresh
eggs and smashed three dozen or
more.

and has been decorated with the Iron
Cross by Emperor William in recogni-
ton of his brave acts
This information was sent to Mr..
Lorenz's cousin. August Schmitz, who
lives near Eddyville, and the letter
was received few days ago. He tells
of being drafted into service in the
army shortly after arriving In the
Fatherland from Wapello county. He
was sent Immediately to the Russian
Poland frontier line. On November II,
he received some very severe wounds
while on duty and ii is from the hos
pital at Berlin where he is now receiv'
ing treatment that Mr.. Lorenz has had
his first opportunity to write his Amer
lean cousins of his experiences. At
the time of the fray he and his com
rades were resisting the attack OF a
crowd of bandits upon a little village
on the eastern lines. A bullet went
through his ear, hit his right jaw bone
broke it, knocked two teeth out, broke
a portion of his nose away and went
through the palm of his left hand. He
is now in a special hospital in Berlin
where he expects Ito get new nose"

as soon as the war is over he expects
to come back to America.
While doing night patrol duty alon
at one of the, larger places on thu

county man captured single handed
eight prisoners. For this he has re
,eived the Iron Cross from the hands
of the kaiser. Mr.. Lorenz attributes
his deed to good luck and to taking ad
vantage of his opportunities. HI
states thhat his injuries are healing
nicely but it will be three months a
least before he can leave the hospita
and the physicians tell him that h
can never serve in the army again.
