Ont Crop in Iowa IL Thin.

JEFFERSON, Ia, July 1S.-(Special)-Re-
ports from the oat crop in this section are
anything but encouraging. A very few
farmers say they will harvest an average
crop, but the great majority assert that
between high winds and rains that have
lodged the grain, and rust, they will
hardly be justified in putting the machine
into the field, considering the low price of
the grain and the probable poor quality OF
the oats. Corn, on the other hand, is look
ing well, having made wonderful gains the
past week, and spring wheat and rye are
also in fine condition.

The Jersey bull that killed ]. e.. Metcalfe
last winter came very near killing Mrs.
Metcalfe's sister, Miss Minnie Dunn. When
the animal killed Metcalfe, it was not
thought that the attack was meant to be
vicious, but that the injuries inflicted upon
the man were more the result of an acct
dent. Thursday evening the brute made an
attack upon Miss Dunn after she had been
stroking and petting him as he was quietly
standing tied to a post. One of his horns
caught her just below the left breast and
the other in the right side, inhicting serious
wounds. A physician was promptly called
and the young woman's wounds dressed.
The physician reports the wounds as being
very serious.

DIES MONIES, July 1S.-(Special Telegram.)
"A writ of habeas corpus was issued today
and on a hearing the district court ordered
that Mrs. Clarence f. Warren be turned
over by her mother to her husband, to
whom she was married Tuesday. The court
held that the marriage was legal, although
the bride was only II and the groom 10
years old. The bride had been kept in con-
fnement by her mother after the marriage,
and was not released till this afternoon,
when she left the court room with her
youthful husband. Soon as the couple had
been released the court lectuTed the mother
of the bride; then he directed the district
attorney to have the youthful groom and
william Bush taken before the grand jury
on the charge of perjury. Bush went with
the couple to secure the marriage license
and swore they were both of age; as also
did young Warren. Bush cannot be found,

WORKING THE RAILROAD MEN.
Pretty Young Woman with a baby
and a Sad Story.

""NA - ''' 'NNA
A woman with a young baby in her arms
visited the Union Pacific round house yes
terday and told the men employed there a
sad story OF her destitute condition and her
anxiety to reach her home in Davenport.
She was a pretty little woman, and the story
she told fell so naturally from her lips that
the sympathies Of the big-hearted railroad
men were deeply touched. A proposition to
raise a purse sufficient to send her home was
quickly acted upon, and within a few
minutes the round house men had placed
$40 Of their hard earnings into the woman's
hands. Their kindness did not stop with
this generosity. They took her to the street
car ana paid her fare up town and gave her
a note to the chief of police asking him to
assist her In procuring a ticket and helping
her on the right train. To make IL still
more certain that she would receive all the
assistance possible from the police depart
ment, the chiefs Office was called up by
telephone and the information given that
the woman was coming. When she left the
round house she was profuse in her thanks
and shook each of her benefactors warmly
by the hand. An hour passed and she had
not called at the police headquarters. Within
another hour a telephone message came from
the Rock Island round house announcing
that the employees had contributed literally
to the same woman for the same purpose.
The police heard of her as late as 5 o'clock
last evening still working her scheme, but
they were unable to find her.
