There is war at McGregor, growing
out of the order that school children
must be vacclnated. The school board.
acting on the authority of the state
board of health proceeded to put the

| A man named Hook, residing in
| Union township, Blackhawk county,
and his son Joseph were hunting ducks
on the bank of the Shell Rock river.
| about a mile distant from Winslow.
They had fixed up hiding places with
brush sc that the ducks could not see
them. Joe was about FIVE or six feet
ID front of his father and had shot at
duck but had missed it, The father
thought that pro badly he could get the
flying bird and raising up his fowling
piece to his shoulder he pulled the trig-
ger just as his son raised up to get
second shot and the charge literally
cut off the top of his sons head. Death
must have come instantly, as the young
man was only about two feet from the

Chas. Foster, a desperate who near
ly killed Constable Baker at Council
Bluffs while resisting arrest on the
charge of theft, and escaped two

after a long chase by the sheriff depu
ties. He was captured at Nevada, Mo.

Foster is one of gang of tram robbers
who successfully held up a train in
Missouri a short time ago. When the
Pottawattamie county officials get
through with HIM he will be given up
to the Missouri authorities, unless they
make strong fight to get him at once.

and has a bright record as successful
thief in Silver City, Hamburg, and
other Iowa towns
uenry KenelIy of Des Moines, a
wldower employed at NJ cGorrislx's
brick yard east of the city, was fatally
injured few days ago. He was en-
ployed to shovel earth into the big
crushing machine, and during his
moments of leisure when the crusher
was not running had been accustomed
to sit down under the heavy weight of
the crusher. 1t is supposed that he did
so when the accident occurred and was
caught unawares. The heavy weight
descending struck him and crushed
him to the floor. He was removed as
soon as possible and taken to his home
HIS left leg and arm were crushed to
pulp and his right arm was nearly
stripped of flesh The physicians de-
cided that his left leg and arm would
have to be amputated, but before the
operation could be attempted Keneky
sank rapidly and died.

amount it will cost them in this asso.
