seriously injured on Monday of last
week when she was struck by a mo.
torcycle while walking down Michigan

thrown onto the Sidewalk. striking
Miss Lally with such force that it

JAILBIRD MAKES
HIS GETAWAY
William Rockwell, Who Was Lodged
in Jail for Robbery Tuesday Eve
ming, Broke Out.
) SOON REcAPTURED. HOWEVER
Fellow Says He is Member Of the
|. w. w. and Was Arrested at
Arion Last Week for Robbery

William Rockwell. who is lodged in
the county Jail charged with robbery.
made his getaway last evening about
$50, but was captured few minutes
later in the Grill lumber yard, and is
now occupying quarters in the steel
cage where he will have no chance to
make an escape.
Sheriff Cummings last evening at
$50 started to feed the prisoners and
with plate of supper for Rockwell
unlocked the heavy steel door going
into the main cell. AS he opened the
door Rockwell slipped by him and
raced around the west side of the
court house, across the street and into
the Grill lumber yard. The sheriff's
son. Peter, saw the man leave the Jail
and at once started in pursuit. calling
others to join in the man hunt. Rock
we'll, upon entering the lumber yard,
found there was no chance for him
to get out of the place and laid down
as if in dead faint. Peter walked up
to the man and poked him in the ribs.
advising him that he Gould not expect
to get away with that "possum stuff"
The sheriff took his prisoner back to
Jail and has no fear that he will
escape from the steel cage.
Rockwell, who is member of the
I. w. w. organization. was arrested
at Arion on Tuesday of last week az
ter he had robbed William White, of
Charter Oak, of $l3 at the point OF
gun. The holdup took place on a
freight train between Charter Oak
and Manila. 1t seems that Rockwell,
who was riding in a freight car, invit
ed White to ride in the car with him.
No sooner was White in the car when
Rockwell pulled out a revolver and in
pleasing manner invited him to
throw up his hands and take a posi-
ton facing the rear end of the car.
With the pistol placed against Whites
ribs, Rockwell went through his peck
cts, netting him $13. White got Off
the train near kenwood and tele-
phoned to Arion, where Rockwell was
arrested by the marshal and Sheriff
Cummings notified.
The holdup man is about 20 years
of age. but Notwithstanding his youth
appears to have had considerable ex-
perience as a holdup man.

ALL HONOR TO
MANILA BOYS
Three More Patriotic Young Men Of
Manila Join Regular Army and
Are Now at Fl. Logan.
YOUNG MEN OF RIGHT SPIRIT
Henry Steckelberg, Ray Brecenridse
and John Hueber the Latest to
Enlist From Manila

All Hail Manila. Her young men
are made of the right spirit and are
showing their patriotism at every turn.
Mention has been made heretofore of
the young men who have gone out
from Manila TO join Uncle Sans
forces, but the latest among the vol
unteers are three young men who are
among Manilla's best. Henry Sickle
| berg, Ray Breckenridge and John
Hueber went to Omaha yesterday, at
which place they enlisted in the en-
gineering corps of the regular army
and they are now on their way to Ft.
Logan, from which place they will en-
train for some place south. All three
boys come from prominent Manila
families and are we'll known and
equally we'll liked.
Henry Steckleberg is a German, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sickle
berg, and he has been farming one of
his fathers farms and making a sue
cess. He has just sold all OF his per-
sonal property, amounting to $1,000,
in order that he might join with IN
Gle Sans forces. He is the youngest
son of the family, all the rest of the
children being married and having
homes of their own. He realized his
duty right from the beginning, but
having his crops and livestock to look
after he has waited until favorable
opportunity presented itself before
disposing of the same. The OppOrtun-
ity came this week and he took adj
vantage Of it.
Ray Breckenridge is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. l.. Breckenridge, and for
number of years has been connected
with the Manila Telephone company.
He is a young man of undisputed char
acter. who is fired with patriotism and
duty to his country. He is the last of
five young men who have been con-
nected with the telephone company at
Manila who have been trained in the
business by Roscoe Saunders, to leave
their work and take up the cause of
their country.
John Hueber is of. German parent
age, being the son OF Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
Hueber the father being prominent
contractor at Manila. He, likewise.
wishes to show his patriotism and do
his bit toward the cause, and we ven
ture the assertion that he will make
good, and fill the position no matter
where Uncle Sam places him.

GOOD COLLECTION
FOR WAR FUND
Y. M. c. A. Meeting at Opera House
on Sunday Evening One Of the
Best Meetings Held.
PARSONS. OF DIES MONIES SPEAKS
$325O.5O Collected, With Assurance Of
Additional Subscriptions Before
the End of the Week.

The Y. NJ c. A. meeting at the op-
era house on Sunday night was one
of the best meetings ever held in Den
ison and considering the size of the
audience the collection taken for the
war fund was an exceptionally good
one The audience was not more than
half the size of the one on the Oc-
casion of the Red Cross rally held in
the spring. which was addressed by
Robert Wallace. of Council Bluffs. The
meeting Sunday night was addressed
by Mr.. Parsons. of Des Moines. secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian
association for the state. and while
the address lacked the fire and en-
thusiasm of the, address delivered by
Mr.. Wallace when here, it was re-
plete with facts and figures showing
the wonderful results accomplished
through the Young Mems Christian
association in aiding toward the i'm
prOvement of conditions confronting
the soldier in camp. on the march
and in the trenches. 1t was shown
that no other agency has been able
to contribute 10 the comfort and
moral welfare of our soldiers as the
Y M. c. A. This testimony is fur
nished not only by those engaged in
the work of the association. but by
privates and officers in the service of
our country. Testimonial after testi-
monial was read from both officers
and enlisted men showing the good
work OF the association. After the
address of the evening collection
was taken with the result that in a
short time subscriptions had been tax
en- to the amount of $3250.5O and as
surance given that an additional
amount would be furnished before the
end of the week. This meeting was
not entirely a Denison affair. but was
Crawford county meeting with rep
resentatives from several other
towns of the county who shared in
the good work of subscribing money
for this noble cause. 1t was some
thing of a surprise that a larger num-
ber. of people did not attend the meet.
ing3 and that some interests supposed
to be friendly to the cause were
wholly unrepresented. We must large
ly thank the business men Of Denison
and other towns of the county for the
magnificent showing which was made.
The expectations are that Crawford
county will furnish not less than four
thousand dollars before the campaign

in the case Of the state farm referred
to; and the management feels that
they fully justify the cost of the i'm
provement, without considering the
value of the land reclaimed.
The planning of a drainage system
should be done with the same careful
ness that is bestowed on other i'm
provements. When large building is
to be constructed, an architect is con-
suited, plans are carefully drawn, all
the details are looked into, and mate
rial is selected which will be suitable
for the location, the climate and the
purpose for which the building should
be used. During its construction, in
spectors see that the details are car
ried out and the requirements of the
specifications enforced, regardless of
the fact that the contractor may be
losing money and cheaper materials
might be used. But in drainage en-
terprises, the evidences of such care
are too often painfully lacking. even
though the cost be as great or greater
than that of a large building In
many cases an engineer is employed
to stake out a drain on a route which
has been selected only because it is
supposed TO be" the best one. No
examination is made for another route
or outlet; the area of the watershed
is not measured. AS a result the
size of the ditch is determined by a
mere guess. Time may develop the
fact that the best route was not Sc
lected, and that the ditch was too large
or too small. and consequently does
not perform the work satisfactorily. A
ditch, being improperly located, either
does not drain all the land it should
or it is expensive to construct and
maintain. One that is too large will
not clean itself properly; while one
that is too small will not carry re-
quired volume of water.
A drainage system, open or under |
ground, works by gravity, and that it |
may remove the water there must be |
a sufficient fall; that is, a sufficient /
and continuous descent from a level |
somewhat lower than the lowest point /
on the land to be drained, to the point
where the water is discharged from
the outlet. 1t is a common practice to
start a drainage ditch from slough
1t practically the same depth as the
POTION of the slough. Such drain
lge" will not give satisfaction, as the
will not be lowered. and
he bed of the slough will continue 10
'e swampy. For satisfactory drain
ge, the water-channel must be deep
nough in the lowest land, and of suf-
icient breadth and depth, to carry the
sater without an overflow.
Ditch-construetion. like carpentry or ,
Masonry, is a business in itself; and
Or satisfactory results. contracts ,
hould be let in similar manner. The !
idder's competence. as shown in his ,

lie may be justly held chargeable. with
their share In the cost of improve
ments, the facts do not justify the In
ference that the state should pay 1t
all. The correct idea, in raising funds
for drainage works, is that the acre
more directly benefited is the acre to
pay the expense.
Many landowners will oppose a
drainage improvement for the reason
that the ditch will, in part, be located
on their land. They will do this, even
in the face of the fact that from one
fourth to three-fourths of their land,
because it is too wet, produces only
about half of what 1t should, In the
ordinary year. They actually prefer
to stand the yearly loss of half a crop
or more, rather than allow one-fftieth
to one-eightieth part of this wet land
to be occupied by a ditch which would
so thoroughly drain the whole tract
that it could be cultivated up to the
banks of the ditch.
The benefits accruing from drainage
are we'll illustrated in the improve
ment of a small farm. of 72.S9 acres,
recently purchased by the state Of Min
nesota. Six hundred and fifteen dol
lars were spent in draining this farm.
The land had been bought by the state
