10 SUDDEN DEATH.-A resident Of Lou
der, named Myers, was very suddenly
killed In that place last Friday. He
was in the employ OF Petersen Brothers
and was engaged in hauling dressed
lumber, with q skittish team. He
had put on full load and was standing
upon the top'of it, and in starting the
Jar frightened tie team. The horses
gave jump, displaced some Of the lum-
Der and throwed Mr.. Myers to the
ground in fronttof the rear wheel of the
wagon, which passed over his temple,
mashed his skull and killed him in
stantly. Another driver was badly
injured by the running away of the
same team only :sshort, time previous to
the above fatal accident. We have
learned nothing in regard to Mr.. Myers
except that he was German.
A NEW GAME NIrpED IN THE BUD
It appears that a new organization has
recently been made public in the country
north OF this place. Its object is to tokc
possession Of estray horses, dispose of the
animals and pocket the greenbacks. 1t
is u neso plan to steal horses. When an
cstray Is advertised member of the Or
ganizatioh calls and carefully examines
the animal. but admits that it is NOT his.
Member No. 2 then calls, and by aid Of
Information given by No. I, he gives a
full and accurate description of the ami
NAL before seeing it, and the party hav-
ing the animal IN custody being innocent
of the "Iittlc game" very naturally
consents to let william No. . take the
estray. A third member Of the gang
Is sometimes employed to "prove prop
erty."
Henry j. Brown was arrested in Day.
ton township, last Friday, for procuring
a horse under the above circumstances,
and i'm default of bail in the sum of $1,000,
was lodged i'm Jail. After laying in the
calaboose few hours lie became very
penitent, aud confessed how the gang
operated.
"Horse-tamer' Booth was also arrest
ed at Maquokcta, last Friday, on a
charge of being connected with the gang
He was brought to Clarence for trial but
was subsequently taken to Linn county.
We learn he felt SO guilty on Saturday
night that he tried to kill himself by
taking arsenic, but unfortunately got an
overdose, and hence the result was not
fatal. .-s
The transactions are not known 10 be
extended over a very large portion of
the country, but enough information
has been elected to put our people on
their guard against such, and all other,
thieves. ry e
Brown was taken to Muscatine, last
Tuesday, and there lodged in Jail for
safe keeping.
Since the above was set up, we have
received letter from our correspondent
at Clarence, which fully corroborates
our statement. Booth is now in the the
the Linn county Jail.
