All these trains were held in Inwarden until late Saturday afternoon, creating the greatest congestion of rail traffic in the North Western yards that has been witnessed for a number of years. The carnival trains and those carrying live stock exhibits from the fair at Huron were mostly bound for Tulsa, for a fair at that place.

Members of the carnival company and shippers were rooned here practically all day Saturday and it resulted in brisk business for the Hawarden restaurants and ing places, It is also unofficially reported that Hawarden bootleggers hung up a new record for a single day's small quantity sales. The washout on the Northern Iowa division occurred about 31 miles east of Hawarden where about 20 feet of track was undermined. Section Foreman P. J. Lubsen and one assistant went out to inspect the Northern Iowa track about 2 a.

m. and met the section foreman from Ireton and an assistant at the scene of the washout. Only about 20 feet of track was undermined at this point and the damage was repaired by 6:30 a. m. and no trains were delayed on this division.

Mr. Lubsen knew nothing of the washout on the Sioux City division until he returned from repairing the damage on the Northern Iowa division and then he was dispatched to assist with the work on the Sioux City division. The washout on the Milwaukee line was discovered about 11 p. m. Friday night when time freight No.

75 struck a spot where the track was submerged along the edge of the bluffs, three miles south of town. The train was proceeding slowly and when the soft spot was struck the engine tipped slightly but neither the engine nor none of the freight cars left the rails. The train was brought to an immedlate stop and the conductor walked to Hawarden to report the condition. This train was due to reach Hawarden at 10:20 p. m.

but was somewhat late and it was around midnight when the conductor reached Hawarden and aroused Agent H. J. Brown. Section Foreman C. Olson was just starting out to inspect the track when the conductor of the train arrived in town.

Time freight No. 173, due in Hawarden at 3:25 a. had not yet left the Sioux City yards and upon being notifled of the condition came on and pulled No. 75 back off the undermined track. About 30 feet of track had been undermined by the heavy rain.

Section men were recruited all the way from Canton to Westfield and they finished repairing the damage by 9 o'clock Saturday morning, permitting the two freight trains to come on to Hawarden about 9:30 and no further traffic delays resulted.

THIEVES STEAL COPPER WIRE (Continued from Page One) when the telephone employees and officers returned to town about 9 o'clock they were advised that wires had just been cut at a point about four miles north of Hawarden. Again the trail was taken up but proved fruitless aside from finding that eight more wires had been cut and removed.

from three pole spans. The repair work on both jobs was completed about 1:30 a. m. Wednesday. It seems evident that the thieves must be experienced linemen for in each instance they have gone about their work very methodically.

They have climbed only every other pole to cut the wire at the insulators and then have reached up from the ground at the intervening pole and cut the wires, leaving the ends dangling from the cross-arms. While the trouble in each instance has been quickly detected the thieves have apparently had time to make a clean get-away although it seems probable that they must have met the searchers somewhere along the road between the two jobs Tuesday night.
