According to the best figures avail
able, the town of Rush Springs is
leading, hands down, as a melon
shipping point in this section. It. is
estimated that $50 to 175 cars Of
melons have been shipped out of

Sharpers Clean Up Iowans.

Officers at Council Bluffs and
other Iowa towns are looking for a
gang of card sharks which is said to
have worked a clever game on the
poker players of the various towns.
An advance agent of the gang sells
to the local merchant a new make of
playing cards of good quality and
where it is required to force a sale
makes any old price. A week or so
later couple of travelling men drop
into town and ingratiating them
selves into the confidence of the polk
er players manage in some way to
get a few decks of the new cards in
troduced into the game. The cards
are marked and the strangers never
fail to make killing with them. One
player at Red Oak, it is said, dropped
1000 to the sharks.

Leon and Lamont Depots Burglar.
lied Saturday Night.

The freight depots at both Leon
and Lamont were burglarized Satur-
day night, the thieves securing lot
of goods, and getting, away without
leaving any clues. At the Leon de-
pot they broke catch on a window
to get in, and ruined the lock on the
door, trying to open it from the in
side. They secured two sacks of
sugar, an empty Presto light tank,
sack of harness, some stationery, a
box of dry goods and box of auto
supplies consigned to H. L. Long, a
box of candy and box of gum con-
signed to Robert Pace, and bread
knife. At the Lamont depot they
took several auto castings and some
other goods, but got no money at
either place. The jobs are supposed
to have been done by the same par
ties who were probably travelling in
an auto and were many miles away
when the burglary was discovered on
Sunday morning.

PETER MoHR FATALLY BURNED.
Eccentric Character of Lamont Meets
Death in q Midnight Fire.

Peter Mohr, an eccentric old man
OF this community met his death last
Saturday night In a fire which is
supposed was of accidental origin.
Mr.. MOhr for good many years
was an inmate at the Saints Home in
this city, but would not abide by the
rules Of the institution, and for the
himself. AT the time of his death
he was sleeping in the Farmers Pro-
duce building, the management had
given him permission to fix himself
sleeping quarters over the egg cand-
The fire was discovered by Dean
Horner,y Reese Wells and Dean
Wight the boys were, on their way
home and seeing the fire in the
building ran to the light plant and
turned in the fire alarm. They then
got the chemicals. They state that
when they reached the building the
second time the smoke was so dense
that they could hardly get inside. BY
the use of the chemicals they had
smothered the fire down pretty we'll
by the time the engine company got
there. At this time the boys did not
known that Mr.. Mohr was in this
room. After the fire was put out
and investigation started they found
the charred remains in such posi-
tion that we are led to believe that
Mr.. Mohr was suffocated by smoke
before the fire reached him.
There are SO many different ver-
sions as to how the fire was started
that we are not going to attempt CIV
ing a reason.
With the exception of small dam
age to window frames and the egg
Gambling room the building was not
damaged.
A short service was held Monday
afternoon and the body was inferred
in Rose Hill.-Lamoni Chronicle.
