TRACK Of THE GREAT
WESTERN IS WASHED
Half Mile Stretch Was Under
mined BY Rising Tide iT
Minnesota
From Tuesdays Daily.

Half mile of track on the. Great
Western railroad was washed out and
undermined yesterday by the rising
waters on the Minnesota river be-
tween Wallace and Randolph. The
Great Western passenger train, which
leaves Mankato at $50 went over the
loosened roadbe slowly. The dam
age had been discovered, but the
ground was still hard enough to sus-
tain the weight of the train. 1t hap
pened that k-train was at Ran
dolph at the time, and the damaged
road bed was quickly repaired. The
passenger service of the line was no,
seriously hampered.
The danger of flooding the Mil
waukee track between Mankato and
Rapidan, along the stream that runs
from Indian lake to the West Man
kato slough, has for the present been
obviated. Yesterday the water was
up to the rails, and the track had tc
be carefully watched. Today the water
was considerably lower.

Look out for counterfeit silver dol
lars and halves Several Rochester
citizens have discovered that COINS
taken in by them in the course OF
business during the past week are
spurious.
The silver dollars are dated back in
the SOS and can be told from the
genuine by the sound. The half dol
lars are new, of the 1917 model. They
seem to have the right weight and
the milling is good on the edges The
face of the coin is not well executed,
however, the lettering being poorly
done. The coin is also little off-color
The new one and two dollar bills
should be looked after, also. They are
of such peculiar makeup as to be cas-
fly mistaken for fives or tens.
The easiest way is to examine all
silver dollars, if new, and ring the
dollars and halves, and not to take a
five or ten without looking for the
figures

FATHER OF C.C.PRATT
SUMMONED BY DEATH
Died at Local Hospital Sunday
Morning After Illness Cover
ing Long Period
From Mondays Daily.

Attorney Atlee Pratt, father of DR..
C. c. Pratt of this city, died yesteT-
day morning about 4:30 in one of the
local hospitals, death being caused by
a severe cerebro hemorrhage which
he suffered last Wednesday. For some
time past he had been in failing
health, and was cared for at the hos
pital since last Christmas, having
suffered previous hemorrhages which
rendered him practically helpless with
paralysis.
Deceased was born in Whitewater,
Wis, and was sixty seven years OF
age on the fourteenth day Of last
December. AS he grew to manhood he
became interested in law, and gradu-
ated with honor from the University
of Wisconsin, at Madison. AS a young
man he was popular with his as
sociates, and formed many friend
ships, and as he grew to more ma
ture years his keen brain and cheer
full nature made friends for him
wherever he went. He was married at
Madison, Wis, and came with his wife
to Minneapolis, where they made their
home for many years. Failing health
made it necessary for Mr.. Pratt to
retire from practice, and he finally
came to Mankato to live with his son
and daughter inlaw, DR.. and Mrs. c.
G.. Pratt of lie Hitler, where he made
his home for five years.
Mrs Pratt at that time went to
Boulder, Colo, and lives there with a
daughter, Miss Margaret Pratt. The
late Mr.. Pratt had travelled extensive
ly, and until illness robbed his brain
of its power and knowledge, he was
we'll read, and informed upon all
topics of the times. Fraternally he was
affiliated with the Masonic lodge.
The surviving relatives are the widow,
at Boulder, Colorado, and five chill
dren, DR.. C. G. Pratt of this city;
