MYSTERIOUS BOMBING
OF DUTCH EXPLAINED
German Airmen Cut Explosives Loose to
Save Their Own Necks and Also
Their Fellow Countrymen.

London, Sept. 27.--The mysteriou:
bombing of Dutch villages by stray air.
planes was discovered yesterday and
throws a new light upon the German
idea of the law of necessity.
Recently several squadrons of German
planes have set out for bombing expedi-
tions over England Upon reaching the
coast several have been turned back by
bad weather conditions. Inasmuch as
the German bombs are suspended under
their machines these missiles of death
must be dropped before the aviator can
alight, or else the plane and it's occu-
pants risk being blown up.
Rather than take the chance of iniur.
ing some of their German countrymen by
dropping their cargo over German soil,
the airmen circle over little Holland and
get rid of them-where it is only ques.
ton of killing a few more neutrals.

High Water
Menace To City
ST. MARIES MILL YARD UNDER WATER
Break in Dyke Floods Yard. MeadOwhurN and
RiVerdaIe Threatened.

High water is becoming a seri-
Gus problem. The river has
reached the 1884 mark, about
six inches higher than the highest
mark reached last year. The warm
weather of the past few days has
begun to melt the snow back in
the hills and predictions are be-
ing made that it will go much
higher.
The wagon road between this
city and st. Joe is under water in
several places and is not passable
for automobiles. The water is
over the road at Butler Bay and
it will only take a very little raise
to stop all traffic from that secion.
Considerable fear is being ex-
pressed for the safety of the dykes
along the river in the different
projects but so far there has been
no serious trouble.
The water has bothered in one
or two places in the Meadowhurst
dyke. 1t came over Wednesday
afternoon at low place in the
upper end near R. V. Halls place
but men hurried to the place and
stopped the water before a break
was made. Thursday afternoon
water began to go in below tho
bridge at the place where theca
was so much trouble last year
but the pile driver and dredgC
were hurried to the place and SO
far have succeeded in keeping il
under control.
Water has commenced to seer
through in two or three different
Iplaces in the Riverdale dyke buf
so far no damage has been done
and it is being watched closely
Fear has been expressed for th'
safety of the st. Maries Lumber
Company dyke and the compan.
has had men watching it all o
the time. So far it has stood tn
strain and no water has gnnl
through. Another foot raise
however, will put it over the top

to the plaintin' and prays that the
defendant be restrained from do
ing anything towards the build
ing of the flume on or across the
premises of the plaintiff.
The action grows out of tho
attempt to build flume up the
Benewah creek for the purpose
of getting out the logs along and
tributary to the creek. The
greater part of the right of way
for the flume has been secured
and The work Of building has been
going on for some time.

not agree or the price for the
right of way across Mr.. Craney's
land and Mr. Herrick started
work clearing The right of way
without securing any right TO en-
ter upon or across the ground
and Mr.. Crancy has started this
action to stop him.
Taylor & Hull of this city are
MI. Craney's lawyers and We'd
nesday Mr.. Taylor was at Occur

tional order from the judge which
was served on the Milwaukee

feet of stopping work on theflume

ment reached or condemnation

TWO MEN RECEIVE
SERIOUS INJURIES

Owen Olson and another man
whose name we could not learn
who were working for the st. Ma
ries Lumber Company were quite
seriously injured Tuesday even
ing. The lumber company has
q boom strung across the river
above the mill to catch the logs
which come floating down stream.
One end of this boom is sta
tionary, the other is controlled
by a cable operating on a wind
lass so that it can be opened to
let boats pass through. When
the boom is open the cable drops
down and the boat passes over
it.
Olson and his companion had
charge Of the windlass which it
takes both men to work. When
the Flyer came up Tuesday even
ing they opened the boom as
usual, but for some reason the
cable did not drop low enough
to clear and the bottom of the
boat caught it.
Contact with the cable knocked
the handles of the windlass out
Of the mems hands and they flew
around at a terrible rate. Both
men were knocked out and badly
injured. Olson was struck about
the head and in addition to his
other injuries had his nose brok-
en- and several teeth knocked out
The other mans injuries were
mainly about the body and limbs
The ligaments on one leg wer,

Marble Creek
Postmaster browns
lie WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE RIVER
Current Too Strong For Row Boat Which is Cap
sized. Body Not Found

f. C. Barnes, postmaster at
Marble Greek, was drowned in the
ST. Joe river at that place We'd
nesday afternoon. The details
which reached this city vera
meager The accident occurred at
about half past four in the after
noon, and although there were a
number present no one seemed
to have noticed him at the pre-
else moment that the accident
happened.
Barnes started to take a small
load of freight across the river
ON the ferry. One story has it
that when he reached the center
of the river and received the rull
force of the current the boat start
ed TO founder and ne lost his head
and jumped into the stream.
Another story is that lncocur-
rent is very strong and when the
boat reached the center of the
river and received its full force,
the current proved too strong
and overturned the boat, precipi-
iating Barnes and the cargo irto
the water.
Barnes was swept under and
quickly disappeared from sight
before any attempt to rescue him
could be made. The river is al
most at high water mark and the
current is very rapid. The bed
of the river is full of rocks and
the strongest swimmer could mol
live for a moment in it, There
was not the least chance TO rescue
Barnes and if his body is found
it will be a long way below where
the accident occurred
Barnes was quite we'll known
in this city He was about thirty
years O. age and unmarried. He
came to this section from some
place in Iowa where his relatives
live.

and the commissioners gave Mr..
Bailey five days in which to pre-
pare the table and serve it on
Mr.. Herrick and gave Mr.. Herrick
two days in which to agree to the
rates or to serve a table on Mr.
Bailey, and stated that if the
parties could not agree the COM
mission would establish the rates.
1t required Mr.. Herrick to de-
signate the places where the
company would receive freight
and he was also informed that
the tariff on logs which was now
on file would be continued until
the new schedule was filed.
That part of the line south of
McCarter's camp now being op-

give the commissioners some
trouble and they intimated that
upon a proper showing as he had
handled freight he might be COM

Water is up level with the
