Wine Leak Costs Loganites $1,000

When wine tank on Northwest
ern car sprung leak voluntarily in
the Logan yards, no one imagined it
would cost the town lot of real
money, but it did. Business men
and others have Just handed the
Northwestern agent draft for
$4,000. They are praying that the
veil will be drawn over the incident
and that they may forget 1t. When
the leak was discovered there was
an exodus to the railroad yards on
that fateful February 3rd. A process
sion of folks carrying milk cans,
water bottles, sponges and other re-
ceptacles, loped down to the leaking
cars to save the precious red fluid.
There was alteration over the most
advantageous point at which to ac-
cumulate the proceeds of the leak
and three young men were indicted
for claiming from another party a
share of the latter's gains. Nobody
seemed to think of the railrosd
company. They decided that as the
leak was voluntary they were en-
titled to carry off all the wine they
could absorb instead of delivering
1t over to the company. But the
company had another idea about it.
Hence today's draft for $4,000 and
the curtain.

Two Burned from Starting Fires
With Kerosene

Miss Lucretia Newell, teacher in
a rural school 10 miles north OF
Waterloo, was so severely burned as
a result of the explosion of kero-
sene can that she died last Friday.
Miss Newell was starting fire in a
stove at the school house and was
attempting to pour kerosene on the
smouldering Goals. The kerosene
can exploded in her hands and epvel-
oped her clothing in flames. She
rushed out of the building and the
wind famed the flames. Neigh
bors came to her assistance, but
the burns were so serious she died
within few hours.
Mrs. l.. j. Bjelka of Garden City
died from burns received when a
kerosene can from which she was
pouring oil to revive the fire in a
kitchen range exploded. Flames
were thrown over her body and
when her son Richard rushed in to
rescue her she was veritable torch.
She suffered great agony for five
hours.
The hotel at Garden City was also
burned to the ground. she being the
landlady. Her son Richard, was
severely burned as he wrapped the
mother in a blanket and rescued
her. Later daughter, Lillian, rush

the family purse and she was also
severely burned. Mr.. Bjelka for

Mans Body Held Two weeks

Some time ago, perhaps fifteen
years, man went to Clear Lake who
became known as Joe Lea. He
worked at several jobs and became
an attendant in pool hall. He new
er spoke of his past life. On the
night of April 1, he committed sui,
eide by placing the muzzle of a re-
yolyer in his mouth and pulling the
trigger. Efforts have failed since
that time to learn who he was or
why he was always silent on the af-
fairs of his life. No papers of any
kind were left behind which would
reveal any information but bank
books in his room showed deposits
totaling $500 while $500 more was
found in trunk.
Five or six years ago he served as
tender for mason at Mason City
who knew the man by the name of
James Mitchell. To him stories were
told OF incidents in and around Que
bee and for that reason il was
thought he might be French Cana
dian. Other persons said he came
from Lincoln, Neb. Twenty-Five
years ago a man named James Mitch
ell deserted his wife in the Dakotas
and she divorced and remarked. A
picture of Lea, sent to her was not
identified. w. Fl. Ward of Clear

for two weeks but nobody was found
to claim it. An administrator has
been appointed to take care of the
$11O0 which the man had and to set
tie the costs of the burial.

THE FARMERS OF DENMARK

Denmark is seriously disturbed
with strikes and threatened political
revolution. So persistent has been
the disturbance of business in the
industrial centers that the farmers of
the country have become irritated
and they are now threatening to go
on strike themselves. And this
proposal is causing concern among
the people who have heretofore been
doing all the striking.
This is thing which could and
may occur in this country. You can
continue treading on a worm for a
long while, but in time the worm
turns. The farmers literally feed
the world. You can tread on these
fellows long time and they will
stand for it. Farmers work gener-
ally sixteen hours per day. When
they have produce for sale it is
placed on the market and the best Of
fer accepted. If car of stock or
grain in transit is held up by strike
or the operation of the eight-hour
law, the farmer takes his medicine.
IL he orders new pillow and a strike
at the factory prevents it's delivery he
accepts the result philosophically.
Maybe he has bought seed for plant
ing which comes too late.
1t is worth while to consider that
a time may come when the farmers
will grow weary Of this turmoil and
strife. They may organize and put
on strike themselves. And when
they do this the scales are going to
fall from the eyes of great many
people Then we shall all see clear
ly that We must establish and main
tain arbitration courts for the settle
ment of wage disputes which shall
have equal authority with courts of
law and equity.

Look for Assailant Of Lad

Officers and citizens at Faragut
are looking for a farmer who lives
west of that town, for the purpose of
giving him chasisement. A little
boy came to Bob Pages attention
while he was in a store buying
clothes. Mirage noticed that the
lads body showed signs of very hard
treatment. Close questioning dis
closed the fact that he had been
whipped almost to death week ago
Sunday. His assailant is reported
to have used horse whip and great
gashes were cut in the boys arms
and body. For good measure, he
pulled out several hands full of hair.
The boy was told that il he told of
the whipping he would be killed.
Mr.. Page took the boy to Sidney, and
reported the case to county officials.
1t is said that they are out looking
for the farmer. 1t is reported that
the lad did not have sufficient cloth
ing and that he had worn -four sacks
all winter for underclothes.

Twenty-one men were rendered
deathly sick from the effects of home

to go home" All of them are said
to have recovered. None of them

master at that time, we'll remembers
how difficult it was to get enough of
petitioners on the route to secure a
carrier. The Hufferds were the
main pushers at the time, but some
farmers opposed it for the reason
that they feared it would greatly in
crease their taxes and some business
men opposed it because they fea~
that it would hurt business. This
