BABY KILLED; MOTHER HURT.
Great Western Train Hits Automobile
Near Town Of remnant.

Great Western Train Hits Automobile
Near Town Of Tenant.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 29.-Three-
year-old Agnes Hansen was killed, her
mother probably fatally injured and
her father, Albert Hansen, and sister
the latter aged Z, all of Tenant,
Shelby county, more or less seriously
injured Sunday afternoon when the
automobile in which they were riding
was struck, two miles south of Ten
nant, by a Chicago Great Western
train, No. 5, westbound out of Tenant
at 1922 o'clock.
Reports from the Jennie Enmundson
hospital, where the injured people
were taken, indicated Monday morning
that while Mrs. Hansen's injuries were
found to be most serious, she has
possible chance for recovery. Little
Lucille, it is believed, was not seriously
hurt, and Mr.. Hansen himself was able
to walk around Monday morning.
Trainmen believe Hansen, who is
farmer near Tenant, tried to "beat
the train to the crossing, and the
pilot of the locomotive struck the rear
of the automobile. The baby who was
killed was thrown twenty feet into the
air and forty feet from the rails before
she struck the ground The other
members of the family were thrown
almost as far. The automobile was
demolished and the pilot of the loco
motive was damaged by the force of
the collision.

Io,Oa Farm Which
Cost ST Back in 1883
No,O Worth 500. 900

An interesting story Of an Iowa farm
is told in the Rock Rapids Reporter.
which again brings out the enormous
advance in Iowa land prices In recent
years. The section In Linn county
that sold for $4,000 in 1883 could not
be bought for 100000 today. The
Rock Rapids newspaper man tells it
as follows:
John Murphy, of Seneca. H.. has
been here looking after his land hold
ings in Allison township. He is now
at Lester, where he spends some time
each year. Mr.. Murphy owns all of
section 90. and it is worth more than
100000. altho the owner has never
put price on it. In fact. the land
never did change hands but twice. The
first transfer was >from the govern
ment to II. B. Carter. and the second
from Carter to John Murphy.
c. NJ. Carpenter made the deal and
at the same time made Murphy rich
man. Before that time Murphy was a
man of very modest means. He ran a
truck wagon in Seneca.
Along in 1887 or 1883 Murphy was
saloon one day to kid the bartender.
There We're few others in the place.
and the barkeeper told them he had
five tickets in the Louisiana state lot
terry, and he wanted to sell them.
Murphy took one. carried it home, put
it in a bureau drawer and then forgot
it. One day while at the depot calling
for freight the agent asked him what
the number of his lottery ticket was.
He said he heard message going over
the wire that the ticket which had
drawn the capital prize was held In
Seneca. Murphy hiked home and got
his ticket. and wired to the lottery
concern. He was told he was the
lucky man. He got the $4,000 In due
course of time and soon after bought
the land for which he paid 10,500.40
The deed is dated May 4, 1855, and ii
was cash deal. There has never been
mortgage on the place and never
will as long as Murphy owns it. 1t
cost him Just 81 and besides ne got
$4,40l.60 for spending money.

Good Corn Crop In North.

Reports from competent observers
indicate that the corn crop in northern
Iowa will be good this year and that
some millions of bushels of corn will be
added to the production. due largely to

A Northwest Empire.

me Dakota Farmer, published at
Aberdeen. s. d., cater" largely to what
1t calls 1.-The Dakota Farmer empire,
comprising South Dakota, North Da-
kota. Montana and Wyoming, states
In which Sioux City is largely inter-
ested. because there is much Sioux
City money invested in them, partic-
ularly in the Dakotas, and becar'
Sioux City is the mark ting place for
much of their products. 1t is inter-
esting therefore, to note the Dakots
Farmers resume Of the progress made
in this northwest empire, as related in
an address by A. e. Chamberlain, of
the special service department of the
publication, to number of Minne-
apols and ST. Paul business men the
other day.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his address,
produced statistics to show that in ten
years the value of farm lands in
creased 377 per cent in South Dakota.
321 per cent in North Dakota, $50 per
cent in Montana and 279 per cent in
Wyoming At the same time the in
crease in the value of all farm pro-
ducts was nearly as great in the Da-
kotas but slightly lower in the twn
other states. He also showed that the
average per capita wealth of the four
states named is $2.672. slightly higher
than in the four states of Iowa. Min
nesota. Illinois and Wisconsin. which
is s2,664
He showed that in the empire the
horses and mules in 1912 numbered
1,S99,000. valued at, $1S4,.16,0OO. while
in 1916 the total had increased to 1900.
OF 1ol,
and other cattle had increased about
two-thirds in number and had more
than doubled in value: hogs had in
creased about 100000 in number and
about $7,OOO.OOO in value in the four
years Only sheep showed a slight
falling off in number, but great in
crease in value.
Mr.. Chamberlain also noted that
there was an increase of $1,000 milcil
cows from Jan. l. 1915, to Jan. 1, 1916.
North Dakota sold over 100000
more dairy products last year than
two years before, while the increase In
South Dakota was over s3,00O,000.
Mr.. Chamberlain admitted that in
the strip thru the two Dakotas cas-.
of the Missouri river the blue stem
wheat crop will barely pay for the seed
and the expense Of planting, cultivat-
ing and harvesting, but west of the
Missouri the crop was normal, and he
emphasizes the fact that wheat is the
only crop the empire" is short Of.
Oats, barley. flax, rye, alfalfa. wild hay
and other products are all yielding
beautifully
Summing up the stua ton, Mr..
Chamberlain submitted the following
figures, after noting the fact thai the
