HOW IT HAPPENED.

That's What John sieghartner, Minus q
Finger, Ii Unable 60 Explain.
When John Sieghartner awoke
from a snooze alongside the CONNER
cial house Yesterday afternoon he
discovered himself tangled in q
wheel Of one of the Twin-City
Ice company's wagons, minus a
portion of the second finger OF
his left hand, and considerably
bruised about the body. Mr.. Sieg-
hartner is unable to explain how it
occurred. He was taken to DIR.
Ludewig's parlors and his injuries
administered to.
Mr.. Sieghartner cannot even adj
vance a supposition acceptable to
himself. The ice wagon was sta
toned in Commercial alley, whilo
Johns companion temporarily alb
sented himself on business mission.
Mr.. Sieghartner sat down in q chair
alongside the conveyance and drifted
into gentle repose. That's the ex-
tent of his explanation. He sup
poses. however, that he became
overbalanced and in falling backward
frightened the animals, which start
ed up and Got his nsgsr tangled up
in the brake.

Ransom Thinks Il Q rake.

The theory of another sensation at
Cordova was probably premature
at least such is the opinion of Deputy
Sheriff Ransom after an investigation
of the circumstances. That Henry
Martin was foully dealt with his wife
persistently denied and explained
her husbands absence as due to an
illegal proceeding between himself
and another farmer. and fearing
prosecution he skipped to Wis
cOnsin. Mrs. Martin said that he
visited her tive weeks ago and they
kept up constant communication.
TO further substantiate her claim,
the woman promised to forward the
next letter written by Martin. The
Italian with whom she is living is
employed on the farm. The dep.
uty sheriff seemed satisfied with Mrs.
Martins explanations and the matter
will drop unless other developments
appear.

CAUSED COMPLAINT.


Yesterdays Oppresslveness the Subject Of
Much Discusion.
After such q day as yesterday it
is not a pleasant duty to discuss the
weather, for two reasons, the first
being that it was worn out and thread.
bare by everyone who met another;
and the second that the subject is
not in view of what has been so lately
said and experienced, fascinating.
However. there are people who want
to know just how much torture they
underwent, ami by the way it Is
gratifying to know that notwith-
standing there were . few slightly
overcome or at least to the extent of
having to cease work, both in Rock
Island and at Rock Island arsenal.
there we're n serious eases so far as
ascertained In the afternoon labor
on buildings exposed to the sun was
generally suspended, and in this way.
no doubt, cases of prostitution were
avertcd.
1t was a tough night for humanity,
and the individual who got comfort
able. wholesome rest may congratu-
late himself.
What the Record shows.
In the face of all the conditions
that prevailed, the signal service re-
ports the mercury rs climbing only
to the 90 degree mark. The extreme
oppressiveness of the day was ac-
counted for by the fact that the
humidity amounted to 80 per cent.
or to divest the statement of all its
scientific aspect, the air contained
30 per cent as much water as it will
hold. This was about 80 per cent
more than the average for this time
of the year, and it added several de-
grees to the heat. in the popular
estimation.
