TINS winter on a Wisconsin railroad by
heavy floods. Investigation showed that
the floods are due to large dams con-
structed by the beavers inhabiting one
OF the smaller rivers. 1t took ten blasts
of dynamite to destroy one of their
dams, and it was rebuilt within three
weeks
1t was necessary to secure special )er-
mission from the conservation commits
sion of the state before using the dyna-
mite. One of the dams destroyed was
over a mile in length. The solidity of
It's masonry surpassed that of many
man-made structures. A petition is now
being circulated asking the state author
tiles to capture the beavers and remove
them to some locality where they can
be confined

Shells and Cream Separators.

Many iron factories can be readily
changed into ammunition plants. but
it is claimed that those manufacturing
the parts for cream separators will
require the least additional equipment.
One large factory in Vermont had been
making cream separators and other
dairy tools, almost all of which had
been shipped to Sweden. The war
stopped the demand from abroad, and
there was not enough market in this
country. 1t was found that by a slight
change in the size of the iron patterns
the machines making the cream sepa-
rator parts could turn out iron shells,
for which there is now ! tremendous
demand. The whole resources of the
former dairy utensil plant are now
being taxed to turn out an order for a
million dollars worth of shells for the
Russian government.

Police Seek Twain, Gone From Lodgings
 Where Theft Occurred

The police would like to apprehend Al Hadden and William Donnelly, both from New York, and question them regarding the theft of $26 from a lodger in the house where they roomed, 452 Union avenue. They would like to know whether Donnelly used this money to defray the expense of his marriage and honeymoon, or not.
 It appears that the day the money was stolen from the trousers of Oscar Joachim, while he was asleep in his room, Mrs. Bertha Hayes of New York reached this city searching for her daughter, whom she believed had come to this city and eloped with Donnelly.
 Search for Donpelly at his home dis closed the theft and the sudden dis appearance of he and his present Had den. The mother hoping to find some trace of her daughter has been stay ing in this city, receiving this morning a telegram from New York signed by the girl saying she was married. As

A collision between two automobiles one a touring car and the other com mercial truck, tied up traffic on Main street, between Wall and John streets this morning, and partly damaged the touring car.
 The pleasure machine owned ana operated by Samuel L.. Kowarsky, or 6S East Seth street, New York, was proceeding south on Main street, when the truck, owned by c. P. Moves or Trumbull, and driven by James Mer- Till. crossing Main street, struck the New York machine almost head on.
 The guards, running board and head lights of the touring car were ripped off and smashed. According to the po- lice, Merrill was to blame for the acc1- dent, and was arrested for not having a license to operate an automobile, all though he said he had applied for one. Kowarsky refused to prosecute Mer- Till.
