about 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon.
The lad had climbed to almost the very
top of one Of the tall trees in tire back
yard when his mother called him. He
answered her and how he came to fall

Of the tree came crashing to the
ground. Physicians W ere called and ne

Waterloo-A milk pail, dangling
from the arm of Charles Smith, farm
err. probably saved his life Friday night
during the electrical storm. Smith was
driving his team homeward. five miles
south Of Waterloo, when the storm
came on him. He grasped his horses
heads and led them under tree to
await abatement Of the deluge. Sud
| denly a bolt found his tree. Smith was
knocked down, unconscious, the har-
ness stripped completely from the
horses. which dropped. stunned amid
the debris of splintered tree and wag-
on. When Smith came to he found
only the handle Of his pail hooked or
mis- arm. The bolt had missed him in
favor of the iron pail, saving him
from injury. The pail when recovered
was distorted mass Of metal.
Waterfoo-Some baths cost more
than others. Paul Cegley, 200 Maple
street. is credited with paving the
highest price for bath OF anyone in
Waterloo. At SIS o'clock yesterday
afternoon he entered the Y. M. c. A.
building for the purpose OF ENJOYING
SHOWER After stating his inten-
tions clerk at the desk walked over
10 a locker and told Cegley to place
his valuables inside. This order was
complied with and the visitor then
proceeded to the shower. A short time
later the clerks at the desk changed
for the lunch hour. A man stepped up
to the desk and called a locker number.
the one that had been given to Cegley.
Surprising everything was all right.
the stranger became the possessor of
Cegley's gold Elgin watch. The watch
was an open face style, and had fif-
teen Jewel movement. Besides there
was pocketbook containing over SO
and other personal belongings.
Fort Dodge-The Central Iowa Com
panies filed u petition in the county
clerks office asking that receiver ne
appointed for the Fort Dodge Street
Railway Company. The plaintiff Is q
trust company and in the petition al
| ieses that the street railway company
owes 1T at the present time $4.S56.o3.
Judgment for this sum and the APP
pointment Of a receiver are asked. The
petition states that the street railway
company is insolvent and that it owes
at the present time the sum of 100000
as accrued interest upon bonds which
| are outstanding. 1t also is stated that
the company Is losing money. The nc-
ton Is not unexpected. 1t has been
believed for some time that the street
railway company was insolvent. The
street railway franchise expires the
latter part OF this month. No move
had been made by the owners to secure
new franchise. A hearing on the re-
Ownership matter probably will be held
before Judge Wright in the near future
and 1t is likely that receiver will be
appointed. - .9ss6.3a.
