ICE CUTTERS HURRY
BRIGHT SUNS RAYS PLAYING
HAVOC WITH SURFACE OF
LAKE MADISON.

Contractors who are cutting ice for
out Of town trade are engaged in a
race with spring weather, with
chances just now about even.
During the p%rotracted cold wealth
err, when ice in Lake Madison was at
it's best, railway companies were I'M
able to deliver cars in which to move
the ice. Following the delay necessi-
tated by a car shortage. the thaw
started, and as a result the ice in the
lake is badly h-oneycombed, and melts
readily when being taken out. 1T Is
said that while the shortage is not so
pronounced now as during the sever
est weather, there is still a dearth OF
cars.
f. j. Maloney and Charles Simp-
son, contractors, have already ship
ped about 200 cars Of ice. They have
yet to fill orders for about seventy
five ears more. For consumption in
side the city, a large amount of ice
has been taken from Lake Herman

 TAKEN BY BRITISH
American Lawyer Has Thrilling
 Experience on SOmme Front

New York, July 25.-F'rederick H. Allen, a retired lawyer of New York and Paris has returned and recounts his impressions of four days visit to the British front. He visited the sector between Thiepval and Mon tauban, and, standing on a hilltop a mile and quarter distant, viewed the recent capture of Contalmaison.
 "The bombardment in preparation for the infantry attack began at 2 a. m on the morning of the memOr- a ble July Ca day which will survive in history. The English used every piece in their possession, from hand grenades to heavy field artillery, and kppt up a continual firing throughout the night.

SAVES GOVERNOR; |ISGRANTED FREEDOM
Negro Convict Makes Lucky
 "CatCh" in Arkansas River

Little Rock, Ark, July 25.-The happiest fisherman in Arkansas is He zelxiah Porter, negro, of Helena, Ark. Six weeks ago he "fshed" Governor George Hayes out of the Arkansas river, probably saving the governors s life, and the governor has rewarded him by signing a pardon. Porter was serving twenty-one year sentence for murder on the State Farm for negro convicts, at Columbus, when he saved the governors life. Had he not been selected to row the governors boat on a fishing trip he might have served the remaining fourteen years of his sentence.
 The incident did not become known to the public until the pardon was ts- sued. Porter a "trusty,' was put In charge of a small sl1iff in which the governor was fishing while on an in spection trip to the convict farm. In a swift flowing new channel formed by the floods last winter, Governor
 Hayes started to move from one end of the boat to the other. The boat struck a snag, the governor lost his balance and fell into the strong cur rent.
 Porter grabbed the snag with one hand and with the other extended a fishing rod to the governor, who Is not an expert swimmer Then by holding the boat from going down stream and aiding the governor with the other hand, the negro after several minutes succeeded in getting the executive again aboard without overturning the boat.
 Porter killed another negro at Hell ena in 1909. For the last two years
 he has been assigned to fishing on the river to supply the larders of the convict farm, where 800 negroes are 5conflned.

pierce the inky darkness, and then gradually fade. At o'clock the firing suddenly ceased, when through the rlftS of low hanging smoke the great havoc wrought on the German posi- tions could be easily seen with field glasses.
 Sees Prisoners Passed.
 "A few moments later I watched wave after wave of khaki clad soldiers swarm over the British first line trenches and charge Up the steep slope leading to Contamination. The right and left Hanks pushed on, while the center was lost to view in a curtain of fire, which the Germans threw behind the charging lines, to prevent the maSsing of endorsements. A few moments later many figures were seen in flight.
 At first we thought the attack had failed, and that the British were re- treating, but soon we saw that they were bands of German prisoners being passed back through the lines. ''The battle continued until o'clock in the afternoon, when the Germans brought up heavy achievements and drove the English out of the town, but not as far as their former trenches. That evening the bombardnen was resumed, and the entire town and its outlying fOrtifications were captured by the British the next day"
 Scene Shifted Often.
 The battle, said Mr. Allen, unlik @ Verdun, which we had recently seen, was exceptionally interesting, as the scene was continually changing. A continual stream of munition vans, discharging their cargo to the waiting gunners; the approach of large num- bers of reinforceme ents, massed behind a hill out of sight of the Germans, waiting the order to go into battle and relieve their comrades; the crash and roar of artillery, ever lengthening their trajectory to keep ahead of the advancing troops; the moving of heavy field pieces; the strident Whin- irving of wounded horses-all con- tributed to a mem ora ble spectacle
 While watching the attack Mr. Allen had a narrow escape, a, battery fifty feet from him was shelled eight times.

ION FIELD OF HONOR"
In Lieu of War Excited Citizens Fight
Duels Occasionally.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 20--(by mail)-

The Argentines themselves are jok-

that this sort of thing is out of date

circles.
One of the two sword fights was be-
tween Baron Athos de San Malato, an
Italian, and Aniceto Rodriguez, an Ar
gentine with a reputation as a swords
man. In the other the opponents were
Deputy Rodolfo Moreno, a member of
the Argentine house of representa-
tives, and DIR. Hororio Szelagowski, a
lawyer and an Argentine, too, despite
his name.
Both encounters were with swords.
In the former case honor was adj
Judged to have been satisfied when
Rodriguez had been forced backward

result which is understood to haze

have been killed. Moreno was jabbed
in the arm. No one has been killed in
a duel here for several years.

Whitewater Grange Buys Food and

Whitewater Kan, Dec. 6.-White-
water, Kan, will be comfortably sit
uated this winter when other COM
munities are burning furniture for
fuel and raking thru larders for the
flnal morsel of stored provisions.
Whitewater, or rather Whitewater

the body blows delivered by the
Whitewater grange and doubtless will
take the full count before the cold

Whitewater is an average rural
community of 500. Whitewater resi-
dents are not all millionaires, but
have never known hunger. The big
advance in grub came and the little
town, in common with thousands OF
others, big and small. felt the pinch OF
food speculation prices.
Then the grange got busy. The re-
suit was the shipping into Whitewater
of carloads of food, fuel and feed;
bought at wholesale prices and sold
