Gravity, May THE first near
drowning of the year occurred near
here yesterday when Warren Berry,
the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs Lee
Berry. narrowly escaped death. He
and number Of playmates were play
ing on a rope swing that Is suspended
near the creek bank and is used by
many to cross the stream by swinging
across. Warren was swinging on the
rope when he lost his hold and fell
Into the water. He could not swim
but was partly carried by the swift
current down stream after having gone
under several times, and finally landed
against a wire fence some distance
from the bank and was 80 exhausted
he could barely cling to the fence and
could not get out. Lorell Perry, a lad
about Warren's age, bravely crawled
out on the fence and managed with
much difficulty to drag Warren out of
the water where he was laid uncon-

Efforts Now Being Directed Toward
"Rsd Light" Districts.

Dubuque, May 7.-Altho the special
agents from Attorney General HaV-
ner's office had completed the raiding
Of the various. pool halls and blind
pigs on their list Friday night they all
remained in the city during Saturday
and some of them will be here for sew
eral days longer. During Saturday it
was learned that their investigations
also covered alleged houses of III fame.
Their work in this llne however. did
not extend very far, as the agents
stated but two girls would face
charges as a result of their investi-
cations along these lines.
During Saturday Sheriff f. j. Ken
nedy and his assistants were kept
busy serving the remaining warrants
for bootlegging. During the morning
many of the men showed up volun-
tarly with attorneys and prepared to
waive preliminary hearing and Sc
cure their release on bail. These men
went to the office of the justice Of the
peace at Dubuque township and waiv-
cd a hearing. They were then bound
over to the grand jury and released
on bonds.
The state agents, altho they thought
that their raid was the most success
full held by the department, were not
satisfied because some of the pool
room men had hidden their slot ma
chimes. Despite the fact they hid the
machines they will face a charge OF
violating the gambling laws of the
state. They will not be arrested until
after the grand Jury has investigated
their cases and returned Indictments.
The men violating the liquor laws will
face a charge Of operating a liquor
nuisance. This carries a fine Of from
5000 TO $1,000.
Hip Pocket Sellers.
It was learned Saturday afternoon
two Of the men for selling liquor from
bottles which they carried in their
hip pockets. One Of these men. Frank
Woods. was arrested, but the other
has not been taken in as yet. These
men will face a bootlegging charge.
One Of the special agents in speaking
Of the raid said:
The people OF Dubuque must re-
member that Attorney General Havner
is not in sympathy with the so-oalled
blue laws. but finds it his duty to en-
force all laws on the books. AS Is al
ready known. he had asked for the re-
peal Of the laws or the furnishing OF
sufficient means for enforcing them.
1t Is thought by our men that he will
continue to enforce all the laws pos
sible while he is in office and we may
be sent back to Dubuque at any time.

Special to Times Republican.
Estherville, May 1.-THE hot water
heater In the basement of the govern
ment building blew up about o'clock
Saturday evening doing considerable
damage in it's immediate vicinity and
shattering several basement windows.
The conclusion was so great and the
report so loud it was heard many
blocks. The fire company was called
to the scene. but no fire resulted. tho
for time the escaping steam gave
every indication Of a bad fire.
There happened to be no one in the
basement at the time and only a paper
fire had been built in the heater dur
ing the afternoon. and the supposition
is that corroded pipe may have been
the cause.
The damage will not exceed a few
hundred dollars.
