Saved from Death by Neighbors

Fortunate discovery of his plight
by passing neighoor probably saw
ed William Anderson of Waterloo
from being killed by hogs. Mr.. An
derson is farmer near Dewar. He
started on horseback in the evening
for his cows and while passing thru
the hog lot the animal stumbled,
throwing the rider to the ground.
The fall rendered him unconscious.
In the lot were 80 head of hogs
made blood-thirsty by feasting on
the flesh of dead calves. Some of the
swine weighed 500 and 500 pounds
each. AS soon as Anderson fell the
drove came rushing toward him. The
neighbor hurried to the scene. AS
he ran up a hog had taken Mr.. An
derson's hat and begun to chew it.,
and others of the swine were tearing
at his clothing. Mrs. Anderson was
sick in bed and the hired man was
gone. The young farmer, who re-
manned unconscious for three hours,
thanks his neighbor for saving him
from a horrible fate.

Worthless Checks CaShed

Worthless checks on Atlantic
banks, ranging in amounts from 81
up, were passed at several Atlantic
stores late Saturday by young man
giving the name of w. NJ Fisher. He
apparently was a farm laborer. The
checks are said to have been passed
at the Conley and Jones groceries.
at the Hansen & Lowe implement
house and Sorensen harness shop. In
all instances the young man would
make a small purchase and give a
check for a little more than the
amount, receiving the difference in
cash. This morning the checks
were returned by the banks, mark
ed mo funds"
The young man appeared to be a
little past 20 years old and was we'll
dressed. The officers are looking
for him.

The Gallup & Armstrong grocery
at Jefferson was duly and properly
worked" with a dollar bill last
Saturday, which had been cleverly
raised to a value of IS. This was
done by pasting IS" over the Il"
in the corners of the bill on both
sides, the job being so neat that it
would not be noticed unless one at
tempted to fold the bill over the
figures, when the added thickness
became easily noticed. Who work
ed this ICON" game on this popular
grocery is unknown to them. Mr..
Gallup disliked to admit that they
were the only "easy marks" in the
town, so he started out Monday
morning to look up some others. He
worked" the bill on two of the
banks, also at Dicks and Schroder's
the various ones taking it as though
they were glad to get it. AS soon
as the deception was complete Mr..
Gallup would give them the laugh,
and ask for his spurious bill again.
In the meantime the same swindle
cannot be worked again on num-
Der of north siders,'' including
the grocery firm first mentioned.

Hill were fined $25 and costs and
sentenced to ten days in the county
Jail in default of payment. After

farms where they were employed. 1t

track team, had hts skull fractured

Two Carroll Boys Drown

Two Carroll homes are in deep
sorrow due to a double drowning at
Wall Lake. The young men who
lost their lives were Alfred Winike,
son of Carroll barber, and Paul
Rettenmeheir a son of the Carroll
druggist They were boating on
the lake with couple of lady
friends from Carroll, when the lake
suddenly became rough from strong
breeze and the boat capsized. The
young men succeeded in helping the
girls to the boat to which they
chung until rescued by a man who
was on the lake at the time with a
steam launch, but the young men
were so exhausted when they had
rescued their companions that they
sank beneath the surface and were
unable to rise. Both are said to
have been good Swimmers and could
have saved themselves easily but
heroically thought only of the safety
of their lady friends, and gave their
lives for them. They deserve and
are receiving the highest praise for
their gallantry and heroism. Wall
Lake is said to be very treacherous,
the water is easily and quickly dis
turbed by even a domerate breeze
and that often boaters are endanger-
en- in consequence.

Moore Starts His Third Term in Pen

Moore starts HIS InIfu Iefm IN rem
Roxey Moore, Anita barber who
has just been taken to the peniten-
tiary to serve a five-year sentence
for larceny, has a prison record
which includes two former terms in
Anamosa and Fort Madison.
Disclosure of Moore's previous
terms in the penitentiary has been
made by Sheriff W. A. Mckee. The
sheriff is just back from conveying
Moore to Fort Madison. While
there the official uncovered his pris-
oner's past history.
In 1907 Moore was sent to the
penitentiary at Anamosa for ten
years for forgery. He was sent
from Oskaloosa. After few
months at Anamosa Moore was
transferred to the penitentiary at
Fort Madison and was paroled De-
cember l, 1908.
Moore's first prison experience
did not prove effective in checking
his criminal proclivities. In April
of 1909, only five months after his
parole he was again on his way to
the pen, this time to serve term
for adultery. He was sent from
Oskaloosa. After serving until
September 10, 1911, Moore was
again paroled.
Sheriff Mckee discovered Moore
had been a previous inmate of the
Fort Madison penitentiary when the
officer visited the record room.

MILLIONS TO OFFER
BUT no BORROWERS
BY HRoADAN WALL.

New York, May Son the stock
exchange this afternoon some $4,000
900 was offered but nobody wanted to
borrow it although money was quoted
at per cent. Business was on such
a small scale that the volume of money
offered made no difference. There be-
ing no inducement held out for the
purchase OF stocks. the market became
reastionary. In the morning 1t was
strong with many issues showing ma
tcrial gains. In the last hour At
lantic Gulf and West Indies shot up
to level ten points above the pre-
vious close, but nearly everything
closed weak.
Exchange authorities will hold a
conference tomorrow hoping to find
some way to defeat the wild scheme
OF taxation talked Of in Washington.
One step in the right direction was
taken today by the exchange when its
business committee announced that
an investigation of Replogle Steel
found no basis for the crazy rumors of
a corner Mr.. Ryan being invited to
say something about it told tho ex-
change that he never had any interest
In the company.
The cry baby reds who had sold the
stock short believed that Ryan had
sthem in trap and that the easiest way
out would be to have stock exchange
committee save them as was done In
Stutz- When they discovered that
they were just. plain ordinary shorts
without chance for martyrdom some
Of them covered hastily running Re-
plogle to within fraction of its pre-
vious high record.
The exchange announced that buy

ment account, saying that four firms

diately revived the mystery as to the
identity of the. buyers. General Mo-
tors naturally the first company sus-
pected because it has been reported
for some weeks that a producing steel
company was wanted to round out the
great motor enterprise. There are
business reasons for believing that
vanadium will go wherever Replogie
goes 1t is impossible to make an au-
tomobile without Vanadium.
| Traders have been hesitating to buy
Reading stock because of a report
that the general mortgage bonds will

result rriees ruled slightly lower.
There was scattered mmissfon
house selling at the start and prices
went off cent There was a mild
strengthening later on buying by cash
houses but the prevailing tone of the
day was weak. The weather Is more
favorable throughout the corn belt
and blowing is well under way.
Oats had a heavy tone. Trade was
very light and while the sentiment
was more bearish than for long
time prices failed to decline ma =
teriaily. There was lack of buying
power and selling pressure disap-
peared after the drop of one cent had
been recorded Receipts were esti-
mated at forty cars and advices are
that country offerings are more free.
There was an improved Eastern de-
mand. Shippers were making efforts
to forward cats to New England and
the East en- old contracts.
Rye was strong. cash No. selling
at 2t3 to 214 and No. 3 at 2Ieh. Bar
