Julius C. Higgins, one of the oldest settlers in Ida County, died at the family home in this city on the afternoon of the Fourth. Last week when the heavy rain of Wednesday brought a flood down the Odebolt Mr. Higgins, while discharging his duties as street commissioner, stood in the water up to his hips for three hours to rope and drag logs out of the torrent that threatened the bridge. During all his sickness he imagined he was standing in the creek dragging out those logs and he was all the time fighting the flood. "Jule" as he was familiarly known to almost everyone in the county, was for 20 consecutive years city marshal on Ida Grove, and during the administration on Mayor Lipton he has been street commissioner.
