Fort Dodge. .
The second injury case from a dy-
Mantle explosion within four days took
place Monday afternoon at Rockwell
City. The victim is L. w. Green and
his injuries, altho serious, may not
prove fatal. Green was working in a
sewer at Rockwell City when the ex-
plosion occurred. The front of his
forehead was blown off and part of his
skull blown into fragments. Green
may lose his sight. He was brought
to Fort Dodge and is at ST. Joseph's

troll wagon in lieu Of an ambulance,
and took George Mott, a Hampton man
to the Park hospital, where a bad cut
across the head was dressed. The call
for medical assistance was sent from
Sheffield. Neither the police nor the

how the injury was sustained.

MAY TRY OILED ROADS.
Poweshiek County, Lacking Gravel,
Has Difficult Highway Problem.


Special to es-Republican.
Montezuma, Feb. II. - The annual
county road meeting was held on
Tuesday in the court room, J. ]. Cor
rough, chairman of the board, presid-
ing. All but two Of the townships were
represented. 1t had been expected that
some member of the state highway
commissions and also D. w. Norris
would be present to address the meet
ing but they We're unable to appear,
much to the regret of all. A general
discussion of the road situation way
had. Poweshiek county has no gravel
or other road materials within Its
boundaries and therefore has harder
proposition to solve than have many
counties. Some talk of an experiment
with the oiiing of few miles was had
and it may be tried out this season.
Some have figured out that oil could
be applied each year and if 1t would
enable the public to use the roads
without regard to mud it would be the
cheapest and most satisfactory solu-
ton Of the problem. Oil could be ap-
piled each year for about one-half Of
the amount the interest on bonds
would come to, to say nothing of the
payment Of the principal and the up
keep of the hard surfaced road. The
gist of some of the addresses was that
there Is nothing superior to the Iowa
dirt road when it is properly cared for.

scented by Mr. Dodds. Hon. Ed Ray

WILL GO TO THE BLOCK WHEN
OWNER GETS HIM BACK 4
INTO ILLINOIS.
FARMER SHIPS HOG
TO SECURE FREE TRIP
Live Stock" With Household
Goods, But Shipment 10 Refused at
Council Bluffs Because Porker Came
From Restricted Territory-car 10
Shipped Back to Old Homo.

Z Council Bluffs, Feb 17.-Never again
when he moves from one state to an
other will III. ID. Rogers attempt to Sc
cure a railroad pass for himself on the
strength Of having a pig in the car
with his household effects, and that it
is necessary for him to go along to
feed and water the animal.
Rogers lived near Sheffield ILL.,, on
the line of the Rock Island. He pur-
chased land out in wyoming and was
moving there, going early so to be
there and start spring work. His new
location is along the Union Pacific.
Both the Rock Island and the Union
Pacific have rules that permit Of the
issuance of a pass to one person II
that person goes along with household
novables, providing there Is live stock
in the car containing the goods. Rogers
got hi> car loaded and everything went
we'll until it reached Council Bluffs,
where the discovery was made that tha
shipment came from Illinois territory
that was quarantined against both
Iowa and Nebraska, so far as hogs
were concerned.
Refuse to Receive Car.
At Council Bluffs the Union Pacific
would not receive the Rogers car and
bring it into Nebraska so long as it
contained the pig. The quarantine
rules prevented anything Of the kind,
and violation would subject the road
to a fine of something like $1,000 and a
jail sentence for the official passing
the way bill.
Rogers hit upon the idea of killing
mis- pig and burying it in Iowa. The
Iowa stock inspectors held that this
would be a violation Of the law that
provides for neither live nor dead ami
mails coming from quarantined terri
tory shall remain within the limits OF
the state. Then there was nothing for
Rogers to do nut to ship his pig back
to the Illinois point from which 1t
came. He was not permitted to take
it out of the car and ship it as a sep
arate piece of freight, SO the car, pig
and household goods had to go back to
Sheffield.
Rogers Is Out 500.
Emigrant rates do not apply from
Council Bluffs into Illinois, and as a
result Rogers had to pay the regular
rate and because there was live stock
in the car he had to go along. How
ever, ne did not get pass, as there is
no provision of law covering such con-
tingencies.
After he gets back to Illinois and
disposes Of his pig, if Rogers still de-
sires to come west, he will have. to pay
regular passenger rates, and # he
brings his household goods, the GUS
tomary rate will be applied to them.
The upshot Of the whole matter up to
this time has been that the lone pig
has made Rogers move cost him close
to 500 and he is just where he started.

SCHOOL OWNS TEN ACRES
Beaman Consolidated District Meets
Requirements Thru Sale Of n. H..
Bean,an Thirty Acre Tract, Thus
ADDING Five Acres to Gift.

Special to Times Republican.
Beaman, Feb. 1.-THE new consoli-
dated school at Beaman now owns ten
acres OF good Grundy county land In
addition to the original school site. A
deal was closed on Monday whereby
Lou Dingman purchased thirty acres OF
the forty acres which Mr.. II. H. Bea-
man offered to give the school in the
spring OF 1915 If sufficiently large
consolidated district was organized.
The conditions were not met at the
time of election.
Mr.. Beaman then made the school 3
new offer whereby he promised to give
ten acres of the forty to the school If
the other thirty acres were sold. Some
few months ago Mr.. Beaman gave five
acres to the school without any condl-
tions, in order that the state require
ments for consolidated schools mighs
be met holding open. however, the OPP
portunity to secure ten acres.
BY Mondays transaction the Bea-
man schools are given a new boost,
adding greatly to the fine enthusiasm
already shown by patrons and pupils.

70 CHANCE AVER CHANNEL.
m. 4 81. L 70 ekralshtsn Iowa Near
Crossiro South OF Union.

Crossing South OF Union. i
Union, Feb. 17.--ArTangements have
been completed whereby the NJ. & st.
l.. railway will attempt to change the
channel of the Iowa river Immediately
above the present railway bridge south
east OF Union and force the main cur
rent to again flow thru the old channel
which has become more or less filled up
with sand and underground. 1t is the
plans Of the company to start just
south of what used to be known as the
Rocky Ford and run almost south thru
the old channel and enter the river
again near where the river passes I'M
der the railway bridge. The plan
mapped out by the company is to drill
q series Of holes thru this stretch Of
quarter CT q mile or more, place q
charge Of dynamite in each hole and
then explode the charges simultaneous
ly by means Of an electric battery. At
ter the new channel Is thus opened
up with dynamite they plan to place
a number of rows of piling across the
present channel south of the upper en-
trance and fill in with rock thus dam
ming up the river and forcing it thru
the new channel. This move is deemed
necessary because the river is now cut
ting into thei south bank Of the large
bend adjacent to the bridge so rapidly
that there Is danger OF the river cut
ting thru the bayous to the south and
washing out the grade at a point south
Of the present bridge,
