Nightmare saves dog and cat from gas store accident in Derby
John H. Hartwell, a Derby druggist, awoke from a nightmare to find his store filled with gas and his dog and cat seemingly dead. He revived the dog outdoors and the cat revived with air flow. Investigation showed the cat had unplugged a gas stove tube, preventing an explosion as only gas lights burned. Farmers near Ames report yields and threshing results for oats, rye, and wheat, with notable catches from several farmers and comments on rye and wheat quality and potential sowing.
