street would see some of the best
horses and smartest sleighs you could
fine anywhere. E. T. Bartruff, Jack
Hardin, Henry Alton, and the others
would be there every afternoon with
PAGERS and trotters, and it was a
sight worth seeing when they came
down street in sleigh race. That
wasn't SO long ago either Why don't
they get the old sleighs out again 2"
Setting an answer to that question
was like taking a census of the old
sleighs. Memory recalled many
people who used to be out in cutters
after snow, and list of these
people were asked where the sIeighs
are now. The answers were com.
posite.
Some of them were stored In a shed
that became a chicken house sand
afterward were broken up. Some of
them were used for kindling for the
furnace. Others were simply discard
ed and lost to view and memory. A
few were sold for a trifie by more
thrifty owners. They are all gone
now, in Keokuk
1t was not the automobile, either,
that drove out the sleighs It was
succession of winters about ten
years ago with little snow for sleigh
ing. In the times the old resident
recalled, snow came in December and
laid on the streets and roads until
February sometimes. Finally, there
were several years without any real
sleighing. That is the time the
sleighs were neglected until the
chickens and the wood rot made thor,
unfit for use.

Ordering All Tall Burberry Shrubs
and Hedges Destroyed-Ames Finds
Outbreaks of Rust in the State.

In order to learn how many tall bar
berry shrubs and hedges that harbor
the spores of the black stem rust, a
disease fatal to wheat and oats, there
are in the city, County Agent w. a.
Buchanan began this forenoon to can
vass the city. Before noon he had
found several that have not been de-
stroyed and it is believed, that there
are a good many more.
The county agent is going before the
city council to confer with it regard
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of the council pass
ing an ordinance ordering all tall bar
berry hedges and shrubs destroyed.
Iowa State College, Ames, in a re-
cent report issued by it's plant disease
specialists, already has found out
breaks of the stem rust in widely sep
arated parts of the state. The rust was
found at Burlington, Fort Madison,
Charles City, Jesup, Humeston, and
Shenandoah. Near Charles City four
cases of infection were found, and the
agricultural college has issued warning
that the disease may become as widely
spread as it was in 1916, when it is
estimated S5,0Oo,00O worth of wheat
and oats was destroyed by it in the
state. Infection has been found among
tall varieties of barbcrry in other
states. including Wisconsin, Illinois
and Minnesota.

Further details Of the manner In
which Wallace met his death are told
In the Exeter paper and show how UNI
expectedly death came.
Mr.. Wallace, William McNay and
the latter's small son were at work
lowering a pit for well sunk for the
irrigation of Mr.. Wallaces orchard.
Mr.. Wallace had cut off a tin pipe used
to drain water from the stand pipe.
When the pipe had been cut Mr. Wal
lace drew 1t up from the pit and out
thru the\ roof. at the same time joking
with the McNay boy over the ease
with which the pipe could be raised
This frolic with the boy" the Exc
ter paper says, probably caused him
to forget that the pipe was long, and
that 1t was in danger of hitting the
high power line that is directly over the
back of the pump house, and he found
it necessary to throw the top end of
the pipe to one side to permit it COM
ing out of the door of the pump house.
In doing this the pipe came in con-
tact with the 200 voltage wire and
Mr.. Wallace was olectrocuted where he
stood. Help was summoned land the

rushed pulmotor to the scene as fast
as a high powered automobile could

and a half without any signs of life
returning. Three physicians were on
the scene and pronounced him dead
when they arrived a few minutes after
the accident"

FLOOD DESTROYS BRIDGE.
County Structure Near Gilman Washed
Out-Brdoemen Flee

The flood of water accompanying tho
tornado in the southern part of the
county Tuesday evening destroyed the
county bridge near Gilman. The old
bridge over Brush creek, about two
miles northwest of Gilman, was
wrecked by the flood. A little distance
from the old bridge workmen employed
by the Cedar Rapids Construction
Company were building new concrete
bridge to take the place of the old
bridge that was washed away. They
saw the tornado coming a long ways
off. At first the workmen thought to
take refuge behind one of the concrete
abutments of the new bridge which
had been completed quantity of
steel bars were piled between the
bridge and the direction from which
the storm was coming, and the work
men feared that the wind might hurl
the iron bars upon them if they re-
NAMED where they were. Thinking to
get out of the path of the tornado they
struck out across the field toward the
northwest and got out of the path of
the storm and escaped.
