River Overflow In the
Minnesota Valley
SPUDS ON THELIST ALSO
Eleven Foot Stage Reached At
SibIey Park; Now Going
Downward

Thousands of dollars worth OF
damage to growing crops in the
Minnesota valley has already taken
place from the overflow Of the Mime
sofa river, which this morning stands
at the flood stage Of eleven feet and
eight inches above low water mark.
Park Superintendent Staley stated
this morning that the stage Of water
at Mankato reached eleven feet and
thirteen inches above low water mark
yesterday afternoon but during the
night fell Ave inches, and he thinks
that the drop will continue. owing to
the fact that the rush of water from
up stream has about passed.
Corn fields between here and New
Ulm on the lowlands are generally
flooded, and the crops in the majority
Of cases ruined. This Is also true just
below Mankato between this city and
St. Peter. Should the water receeed
rapidly, there are hopes that some OF
the earliest corn will survive, but
potatoes, peas and all other small
crops are completely ruined.
Greatest Damage Near lie Sueur.
The greatest damage done by the
present high water centers around
LIE Sueur, where hundreds of acres Of
corn are inundated, G. NJ. Cosgrove,
owner of 200 acres of sweet corn al
ready sold to cannery, is the
heaviest loser, his damage running
slightly over $4,000. F. NJ. Cousley
and William Perrin. also owners of
large sweet corn tracts, have been
forced to watch their crops gradually
disappear beneath the rising tide.
Their losses. it is estimated, will
total about $4,000 Henry Snyder, a
farmer living short distance up the
river from lie Sueur, also has suffer
ed heavy damage to his crop of corn
and hay.
Dixie Protects Road Near lie Sueur.
The river road leading out of LIE
Sueur is being protected by the five
foot dixie which has successfully with
stood serious floods in the past. A
dixie of similar height guarded Co.'S
groves property.
Reports received from Blakeley and
Belle PLANE state that all Of the bot
tom land in that vicinity is flooded,
and a great loss has been sustained
in the way of destruction Of hay,
corn and other crops.

CHICKENS ARE PLENTIFUL
Sportsman Will Find Excellent Hunt
ina In Dakotas

Bismarck, n. d. July II .-[By The
Associated Press]-Prospects for good
prairie chicken hunting this fall have
been dimmed by heavy rains through
out virtually the entire state. Farm
ers report that the crop of young
birds is exceptionally light, due to
rains which in many instances have
amounted to nearly cloud bursts. In
the fields where the birds nest,
for the most part in the high lands,
many washed out nests have been
found. Only few covies of small
birds have been found, according to
reports. Ducks are more plentiful
than in many years.

LACKCLUESTOTHIEVES
Nothing Develops in Connection With
HoIdp at Worthinpton.


Worthington. July 16.-1'here are
no new developments in the situation
with respect to running down the
road agents who stuck up the rail
gang camp east of the Omaha coal
chute a week ago Saturday night. A
special detective has been working
on the case for the past week, and
while he has had several leads to fol-
low out, they have not been produc-
tive of results.
Only six of the rail laying outfit
were around the camp when the hold
up artists voiced their command to
stick 'em up" The robbers were
very thorough in their investigation,
going over their victims twice to
make sure that nothing had been
overlooked. Three hundred dollars in
cash and six watches were taken
from the railroad men. One of
these, an Ingersoll, was cast aside in
disgust by one of the visitors.

all winter. Friday she was quite
sick and went with her daughter to
spend the day, but was unable to go

ing was born in Vermont almost eigh-

one. The funeral was held from her
own hone Wednesday afternoon.
Rev. Brown of the Methodist church
preached the sermon. Mr.. and Mrs.
George John and Mrs, Ella Bixby

very beautiful. She leaves two
daughters, Mrs. Frank Pugh and Miss
Annai Loring of Garden City, two
grandchildren, Gladys and Frances
Pugh and many friends. Her hush
and preceded her to the grave about
twenty years ago. The following is
poem she wrote.
I'm glad you can come back in
dreams,
And am happy then
To hear your~voice or even know
You are with me once again,
With not thought of parting
Sickness and sorrow flown,
/ am as in the olden times
Your very, very own.
While l know not of my dreaming.
And l know not of my loss,
I'm happy and it's seeming
Life has no heavy cross.
But when my eyelids open
l think 1t DER and DER,
And long again for night time
That l may dream once more.
Your hair so dark and wavy,
Your breath upon my cheek,
We whisper to each other
Just what the heart would speak.
OFT times you come with whiten-
ed hair
AS twas in these last years.
And when | wake you must believe
'Tis hard to keep back the tears
But when to earth nv eyelids close
In that last long, quiet sleep
On, why should any heart be sad
And why should any weep;
For in that sleep I'll wander
To a fairer, better home,
And those that went before me
will
Rejoice that 1 have come.
