Family Thru Winter.

Mason City, Dec. l1.--Henry Dotsons
a colored lRborer, had saved up all his
extra wages with the expectation OF
getting thru the winter In good con-
dition and having enough money to
buy suitable presents for Christmas
and also to have q 'possum for the
holiday dinner. In order to do this ne
had saved up $s5, laying a little away
day by day.
Now his high expectations Of good
old. fashioned dinner and a merry
Christmas have passed. The money
has disappeared.
\ Henry Dotson has son named
Sherman Dotson, who has a love for
silk shirts, fancy red ties and high
class shoes. Sherman needed some
Of these things and thought that he
would get the money.
Where to ges. 1t was the problem.
He thought and thought but money
could not be obtained that way.
He happened to know where the
family treasure was stored. He
reached his hand into the old cracked
pitcher high on the cupboard shelf.
and his fingers stuck to THE money, in
fact, he could not let loose.
The young man, 10 years old. then
strolled down to The stores and wan
dered around until he had spent the
entire roll Of $s5.
In the next seine, the father missed
tho money and at once the son was
accused. AS result the police were
called, and the young man was taken
into custody. but after the money was
gone. He admitted taking 1t and
spending It The father wanted the
boy sent to the reform school, but he
IL too old for that.
He was released from custody this
morning on the appeal Of his father
and mother. Tho boys tears worked
havoc with their intentions to send
him to the penitentiary. and they
asked the police to release him.

that II was found necessary to call a
physician for his treatment. His
condition was not critical. and he is
reported as being much improved to-
day. Three or four houses about
town were badly shaken by the storm.
plastering OF the interior was shaken
on by the force of the thunderbolts-
The water literally pied itself up
on Main street as II in defiance of the
law OF gravity. and stood several inch
es higher on the north side of the
street than II did on the opposite
side although the latter Is consider
ably lower At the corner of Main
and Sixth streets the water was from
II 10 16 inches deep in the cutters.
and half that depth on the sidewalk AT
half dozen or more places of bust
ness II was difficult to keep the Hood
out and II was only partly accom-
plished by closing the doors and pIac-
ing sacks filed with sand and other
heavy materials at the doorsieps to
prevent the food from entering.
Among the places particularly threat
ened by the deluge were the J. c.
Penney store. the First National Bank
and Mitchell 4 Esbers' drug store At
the former the water surged at the
bottom Of the door tn an effort TO get
in. hns by hard work was kept out OF
the store. The First National Bank
was not SO fortunate. and a large
amount OF water effected an entrance
and left a residue of mud and sand on
the tiled floor and the marble base
around the counting room !, left no
ill-efiects beyond giving the janitor
and his assistants a rather disagree
able job OF bousecleaning.
The water from both the north side
OF Main street and both sides OF
Sixth street bore down on the cor
ner occupied by the Mitchell & Egg
bers drug store with terrific force. and
overlooked the sidewalk there until
II was nearly knee deep. The doors
OF the store were closed and the pro-
