FIRE

At 10 o'clock last night the Dav-
export Oatmeal Factory was discovered on
fire. The flames spread with great rapidity
and although the Davenport fire depart
ment was promptly on hand, the building
and contents were destroyed The origin
of the fire is unknown, as at the time the
flames We're discovered, the mill was in
operation as has been the case for several
nights.
At the time of the fire the mill contained
1000 bushels of oats and 500 bushels of
-four, the former beng valued at $500 and
the latter at $4,000 The machinery was
also quite expensive, but it is thought the
insurance, $4,000, in Snider & Mills
agencies will fully cover the loss.
The building was owned by DIR. G. c..
Perry, and was fully insured.

Yesterday afternoon an accident oc-
CURED at the Moline Malleable Iron Works
which will cause Fred Mungerson to keep
his house for some weeks.
The mishap took place while changing
cast to malleable iron; the box, which is
very heavy, fell and struck Mungerson on
the foot, breaking several bones in that
member.
DR.. Hanson was called, and Mungerson
taken to his boarding house, where every
thing was done for his comfort and re-

Deere & Co.'S Plow works, Moline, met
with serious if not fatal accident about
noon to-day, by being thrown from the
front platform of a street car rs it was
turning the corner of Twentieth street and
Second avenue. He was thrown directly
in front of the car and before the driver
could stop the car the man was pinned to
the ground the front platform pressing ON
his chest. He was taken to Hartman s.
Bahnsen's drug store, and DIR. Barth sum-
moned, who left for Moline with his pa
tient as soon as the latter became conscious.
Advice from Rapids City states that two
men were drowned in the river at that
point last Saturday. Robert Longhorn
and George Point secured boat and were
out in the river rowing at the time of the
accident The boat sprung leak, and
before the occupants of the craft were
aware of their danger the boat was sink
ing. The men were drowned before as
sistence could reach them. Both of the
men ere married and the latter had but
lately arrived from England. The former
had left his family in the old country.
Their bodies have not been recovered

this sentiment could but witness the in

investigation of women in determining the
