Anna Wright of Usage, Iowa. was
married few weeks since to j. G. Gar
rett. 1t was arranged that she would
meet her husband at Lyle, but meanwhile
Garrett ascertained that he was wanted
on account of another wife in Floyd
county, and disappeared. The girl left
home in good health and sound mind
some two weeks ago for Lyle, and was
next found insane, in the town of
Adams, and taken to Mrs Cars house.
She was brought here June 18th, and
kept at the poor farm until the 10Th,
when she was returned to her home at
Usage. She is the daughter of one Billy
Wright.
Me heavy rains Of last week washed
the dirt over the railroad tack at Lanes
bore, and the esstbound passenger train of
Friday was delayed thereby, when a
freight train following ran into the rear
cars, doing considerable damage to two
coaches and the mail car. Miss Rena
Culver and Miss Lettie Sherwood were
passengers, en- route for Green Lake, Wis.
All on board were ordered to jump for
their lives, and hatless and cloakless, in
the driving rain, they jumped, landing
safely in the middle Of large mud-pud-
die, and climbing fence near fled to the
fields to escape the dangers of the acct
dent. We are glad indeed the word of
warning came before it was too late.
