Load Cream Drops in Gully

While Ben Teslow, a cream hauler,
was crossing a bridge 40 feet in
length in Union Prairie township
near the McCarty place Monday, the
structure gave way and his wagon.
load of cream dropped into the
gulley twelve feet below, but the
horses had reached footing just
off the bridge and escaped the fall.
Ben jumped to one side also and
came out unhurt, but he certainly
would have been injured had he gone
down in the wreck and had some of
the heavy bridge timbers toppled
over on him.-Waukon Democrat. I,

Cream Can Blows Up When Extreme
Heat Causes Gas

Jewell, Iowa-Gas forming in
heavy cream cans consigned for ship
ment to Sioux City from Eagle
Grove, caused two cans to explode
at the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way station here, when the cans
were being transferred from the sta
ton platform to express cars. The
gas formation is attributed to the
extreme heat.
One of the cans exploded as it
was being placed in the car, and
completely filled the car with sour
cream. Express messengers looked
as tho they had taken a bath in the
sticky, yellowish fluid. The cover of
another can was blown off as it was
being loaded, covering the station
platform with cream. This resulted
in an accident, when a freight con-
ductor, failing to notice the slippery
brick, fell and sustained broken
arm. >

Horses Tail Caught in Belt

Forest City, Iowa-An unusual
accident happened to one of Joe
Carlson's horses while threshing on
a farm north Of town. The team
stood by the side of the machine and
the animal next to it switched its tail
into one of the small belts. The long
hair became entangled in the pulley
and the tail was torn off. Evidently
the revolving belt took part of the
tail at each revolution until about
four inches of the stub was all that
was left, with the skin torn off sew
eraI inches around the tail. Nothing
could be done for the animal and
she was killed to end her misery. The
animal was a good black mare and
the loss amounts to considerable. A
like accident happened at Belmond
last week.

soldiers of that period endured
many hardships, were exposed

cases, were lily fed. These
conditions led to chronic all
