Fire destroys historic Central University building at Pella
An 1855 brick structure at the Central University site in Pella, Marion county, burned recently. The building, once the core of Iowa's first western college, stood near Des Moines river woodland and served Baptist roots before ownership shifted to Dutch Reformed. The fire erased a marble list of Civil War names, while the campus evolves with new facilities and a growing educational mission.

Iowa Game Fish Rescue Nets Flood Affected Baysous
State Game Warden W E Albert directs two rescue crews to save land locked fish in bayous along the Mississippi as flood waters recede. They will capture crappies pickerel bass pike and channel catfish and transport them to the river in cars. Carp and buffalo will be left unsaved due to limited benefits. Last year forty two carloads were saved using this method.
