BURGLAR SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
Man Guarding Store Shoots Stranger
Who Refuses to DivuIge Name.

.
Goldfeld, May 10.--A man. who re-
fuses to give his name, was seriously II
not fatally shot here early Sunday
morning while attempting to rob the
C. B. James mercantile store of this
place. About three weeks ago Mr..
James noticed the loss of considerable
number Of shoes from the shoe de-
partmeflt. A week later more shoes
were missing, and two days later more
merchandise was taken. This led the
local authorities to believe the work
was that of local talent and they de-
cided to set a watch on the building.
Nothing developed until SATURDAY
night, or early Sunday morning, when
man was noticed to enter the store
thru the front door. He evidently WAS
frightened by something strange with
in, for almost Immediately he came
out Of the store/and started to run.
/ One man, who was posted immedl-
ately across the street from the store,
called to him to. stop. and when ne
refused, opened fire with shotgun, the
first shot striking him in the calves
of the legs and inflicted severe wounds.
He continued to run, however, ana
three more shots were fired at him,
several of the shots striking about the
head and shoulders and even pene-
trating the flesh of the arm and hand.
He was taken to Clarion, where he is
lodged in Jail, and where his case will
be disposed of at the present term or
the district court.
He is young man about rs years
old, and claims to come from good
home, and his one desire now seems
to be to keep the news Of his doings
away from the home folks. That he
is an old hand at the business appears
from the fact that he carried a COM
plete kit Of tools and that he is wise
to all the crooks and turns of the
trade.

leaders in the bull moose movement
here. What we do hope is to main

FREAK OF BIG RIVER.
One Place on Iowa Border Where the
Mississippi Runs West.

One of the most recent additions to
the great topographic atlas of the
United States which the United States
Geological Survey is constructing is
the map of the area known as the
Edgington quadrangle, lying west or
Rock Island in Iowa and Illinois. This
area, which covers about 230 square
miles. is nearly bisected by the Mis-
sissippi river and taken by Itself pre-
sents the Father of Waters in a some
what strange position, for the river
flows almost due west across the area.
The map shows Iowa on the north side
Of the river and Illinois on the south.
Immediately west of this area near
Muscatine, the, stream resumes Its
southwark flow.
The area within the EdgiH<ton
quadrangle, back from the bluffs that
border the Mississippi, is essentially
an agricultural region, altho large
part Of it is devoted to pasture.
Bluffs $50 to 200 feet in height close
ly border the river except along a. por-
ton of~the Illinois side, where there is
an aHuvial fiat a quarter to half mile
in width. which is flooded in extremely
high water On the Iowa side the i'm
mediate bank Of the river is ten to
twenty feet high. and above this iSs a
narrow terrace of gravel underlan ny
limestone. bordering the foot Of the
bluffs The bluffs on both sides and
most of the ravines are heavily tim
bered. The larger islands in the river
are also covered with heavy growth
of timber in which oaks predominant.
The river has changed but little dur
ing the last twenty-five years, as
shown by a comparison with the charts
of the Mississippi River Commission.
made in 1892. The channel Is practi-
cally the same now as 1t was then,
owing to the facts that the north bank,
being partly Of limestone. Is not easily
eroded that probably a considerable
portion of the river bed also is bed
rock. and that submerged dams have
been built to keep the river flow in it's
natural channel.
For many years the waters Of the
river in this section have furnished the
material for thriving business in the
manufacture of buttons from 7llssal
shells, and incidentally a few pearls
have been obtained Muscatine Is the
center Of this industry. The United
States government has established a
biologic station on the Iowa side near
Fairport for studying the natural his
tory OF the fresh-water mussel and
propagating it, with the object of re-
stocking the nearly exhausted beds.

Of the Edgington quadrangle Is
