Leo Morgan Had Terrifying Experi-
ence as He Was Going to His
Home Near Fair Ground.
----------
(From Tuesday's Daily.)

          Leo Morgan,  the well-known insurance agent of this city, suffered in an accident last evening as he was going to his home near the south gate of the fair ground, which he does not care to repeat at any time in the future.
          It had been Mr. Morgan's custom to take the "back" way to get to his home, going back of the canning factory and crossing Little Blue river over a bridge which he and his father had constructed there.  The high waters of the past few days washed the bridge away and Mr. Morgan attempted to cross the river on the ice.
          Near the middle of the stream the ice was thin and broke under the weight, letting mr. Morgan down into several feet of icy water.  By chance some men were passing by at the time and secured a rope which they threw to him and succeeded in getting him safely to land.
