escape one day last week, when he
barely got away from in front of a
four horse team as they started out

Mr.. Davis had just hitched the
horses to the disc for the afternoon
work when the runaway took place.
One of the horses, colt, was bitten
on the neck by another animal which
was hitched at his side, and the colt
made a quick move and stepped one
of his legs over the tug. The rub
bing of the tug on his leg frightened
him and he gave the signal for a
race, and in moment all four horses
were ready for speed tryout. Mr..
Davis was in front of the horses at
the time, but soon found that if he
did not get out of the way he was
liable to be ground up into sausage

Boy Perishes in Burning Barn

The little four year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Dean Squires living near
Lamont persisted in a barn fire on
the farm of his parents one day last
week. An Oelwein paper gives the
following story of the tragic event:
"The little boy, although previously
reprimanded for playing with match
es, secured a new box and went to
the barn to play. A few minutes
passed and the mother stepped out
side to see where the lad was playing.
She found him standing in the barn
door. When asked what he was do
ing, he told her, Mamma, l burned
up whole box of matches and never
tnrned my hands Not knowing
exactly what method of punishment
to administer to make her son see
the danger of playing with matches
she decided TO leave IL to the father.
She did not know the building was on
fire On seeing the smoke coming
fgom the barn the father, who was
working nearby in a field started to
run. Without doubt it was because
of the fear of punishment the boy
rushed into the burning barn, hiding
beneath a manager The father fol.
lowed his son into the barn, making
a search through the smoke. Help
was called but to no avail and with
in fifteen minutes the barn was
burned to the ground. With it an
old hog house and a new one Just
erected last summer were completely
destroyed. The roofs Of the machine
shed and corn crib were also burned
1t was not learned if the buildings
were insured but it is assumed that
a small insurance was carried"

4 Freak Fish.

Bellevue, Ia.,-A freak fish caught
by several local fishermen and which
is on display at the Rcxal drug store
IS attracting much attention.
The fish is of the carp species and
the head and body are normal, but it
has no tail and looks as though it
were cut in two.
Instead of a tail the back fin runs
all the way round the body to the
stomach. The fish is about four
inches wide and seven inches long,
and the fact that it is covered with
a full set Of scales indicates that it
was injured in the spawn.
