Like fairy tale, or the story of the

the story of things here less than nifty
years ago. within the memory Of old

west of the Mississippi river near
here
Jasper Blines, the sage of Seven
Pines, has dug up the details in his
series OF articles on the history OF
Clark county, Missouri, which are rum
ming in the Kahoka Gazette-Herald.
After sketching the era Of steamboats,
on the river, he says:
From 1850 to 1890 were the golden
years of steam boats and their life and
service on the Mississippi Also dur
ling those years the greatest settle-
lment was accomplished. The year OF
1880 ranks exceedingly high in the
population of the county and it's rapid
advancement.
The boat lines held their ranks
steady and there was common inter
ests end mutual effort for the general
promotion of the local republic. But
some other affairs were coming on.

man who has been identified as Charles
Mason. of Sanborn. Iowa was found in
Willow Creek in the heart of the busi-
ness district of Mason City here carly
last night The man had not been seen
since Saturday night and police are
working on the theory that"his body
has been in the water since ttat time.
While no one had reported that he had
been missing. neither had anyone been
found up to a late hour who had seen
him since.
Mason lives at Sanborn where he is
employed as a fireman on the Mil
waukee railroad. He was recently
given promotion to grade OF extra
fireman and pulled a freight train into
Mason City Saturday evening. When
found the body was covered with the
same clothes that he had worn on the

Gregor according to Milwaukee train
men, here. At the present time Two
theories are being followed on MS
death. One is suicide. The other IS
accidental drowning. Absence OF any
visible marks on his body when it was
taken from the water discounted the
theory of foul play.
