Some Audubon County Exports.


From the report made by the Audi
bon County Agricultural Society to the
state association, for the year 1890, we
are permitted to extract the following
items with relation to exports Of pro-
ducts: From Oct. LIST, 1889, to oct. LIST,
1890 there were shipped from the sew.
eral railroad stations in the county,
1851 cars of corn; oats, $50; barley, 279;
wheat, IA; hogs, 496; cattle, 800; horses,
3; sheep, IA; rye, 8; flax, 80; potatoes, 10;
straw, IA; wood, 80; poultry, IA; cobs, 3;
ice, 3; walnut logs, /; total, 1898. 1t is
impossible to make complete estimate
of the county for the reason that the
products of a considerable portion is
shipped from outside stations. All of
Viola townships and portions of Cam
eron, on the north, ship from stations
along the line of the Milwaukee road,
Audubon township and portions of
Extra and 0akfeld 60 to the main line
of the Rock Island route. This trade
tributary to stations outside the coun-
ty is estimated by some as high as thir-
ty per cent and its exports II procur-
able would add largely to the figures
we give. a0ther than these there are
large shipments in less than car load
lots, even an estimate Of which 1t is Inn
possible to give. These figures, how.
ever, speak eloquently of the producing
powers of the county, and tend to in
crease confidence in local values.

Probably Fatal Accident.
MIR. J. Il. BANNING MEETS WITH TER
RIFLE ACCIDENT ON THE ROCK
ISLAND TRACKS.


]. Il. Banning, of Extra township, was
In Audubon today and met with an acct
dent which will In all probability prove
fatal. He was going south on the
Rock Island ten o'clock train, and when
crossing the east switch was struck by
a backing train and dragged for a dis
lance of thirty feet over the frozen,
rough ground. The switch to the south
of the crossing can not be seen from
the sidewalk until one is within four
feet of it, as the view is INSTRUCTED by
McFarlane, Dickey & Cos. ware house,
which abuts the intersecting side walk
and switch. Mr.. Banning observed the
backing train just us he stepped upon
the crossing and attempted to turn but
his foot slipped and he was caught and
dragged the distance stated. Just how
he was dragged or pushed upon the
ground at the side of the rail without
getting under the wheels cannot be ex-
planned or understood. lie was taken
up and by the assistance of V. A.
Walkup and =. w. Ledyard walked to
the Grant House, where Drs. Denote
and Brooks were called to dress his
wounds. They found that the nose and
the bones of the upper face were brok.
Ell, as well as the right breast bone and
some ribs; the right arm virtually
crushed from little above the wrist to
the elbow, one great toe broken, and in
ternal injuries the extent of which can
not be definitely known.
The injured man has shown wonder
full nerve, though sixty three years Of
age, weakened by heart disease and re.
duced by recent siege of Inflammation
of the bowels, 1t Is expected that he
will be compelled to lose the crushed
arm, even though he survives to under
go its amputation,
Mr., Banning is q highly esteemed
and respected citizen, war veteran
and so aged that 1t is distressing that
he should be the subject of this very
deplorable accident The many friends
sincerely hope for his recovery.
