ms her petrol motors drove the twin

she held an amazing potentiallty for

seemed to assume n dual personality.

VICIOUS BOAR GASHES
HURRICANE MANS LEG,

Chas. Wieland of the Hurricane,
has been on crutches for the past ten
days as the result of an attack of a
two-year-old boar on Wednesday a
week ago. Mr.. Wieland was driving
the boar into a pen when the critter
turned and inflicted sweeping cash
in Mr. Wieland's left leg just above
the knee. The cut was two inches
long and clear to the bone. Dr. Doc
little happened to be in the neighbor-
and he came in a few minutes sewing
the deep wound up. Charles lost no
time in removing the boar's tusk
DR.. Doolittle states that the boar's
tusk came within an ace of piercing
the femoral artery. Had this happen
ed Mr.. Wieland would have bled to
death instantly. A narrow escape!

LANCASTER MAN IN
IOWA TRAIN WRECK.

Geo. Barrows was in a Great West
ern train wreck near Dyersville, Iowa
last Wednesday morning and came out
without a scratch. How it happened
was thusly:
Mr. Barrows had been in Oelwein,
Ia, on business and was coming home.
He fell asleep about o'clock a. m.
just east of Dyersville The next
thing he knew he was lying on the
side of the car He found that the car
was on it's side and in the ditch. Mr..
Barrows and twenty other passengers
in the chair car clambered over the
seats to the platform and out Of the
wreck. It seems that a broken rail
had thrown the chair car off but two
sleepers, the smoker and mail car
and the engine and tender were still
on the track. One man was hurt but
not seriously. The passengers were
taken back to Dyersville and into Du-
buque over the |. G.

COBB FARMER HAULS
DOWN KAISER'S MUG.

The Herald is reliably informed
that party of twenty-five young men
of Cobb made little trip out south of
that village Saturday night week
ago. They went to the farmhouse of
Jake Beerkircher. Jake had a big
picture of Kaiser Bill on his wall, so
the story goes. At the request of
those present he removed the picture
and put up one Of President Wilson
in it's stead. He was then cautioned
as to his future conduct.
This farmer has two sons. Both
are loyal and one is in the draft. The
story goes further that a Montfort
man stated that a drunken mob made
the above call. The mob" had as it's
leader, one ALT. Cookson. Cookson
called on the man making the state
ment and demanded and obtained a
retraction. The man in other ways
also evidenced his change Of heart.
Things have been quiet in the Mont
fort-Cobb vicinity since then.

Kirby and Mordecai and Lieut. P

might sell direct to the government
buyers at a good price providing
their horses came up to standard.
The regulations required at least a

number could not be found.
