News Of Interest.

From Mondays Daily.
Mrs. Katherine Helmig, OF Mill and
Union streets, was robbed of $24O in
money, and a gold watch and chain,
Saturday evening about $3.50 o'clock.
The police have no clue of the thief,
but are ON the lookout for him.
Mrs. Helmig kept her money in the
front room of the house, in tin box,
which was stored in the lower drawer
of the dresser in that room. She was
in the room a short time before the
robbery occurred, but returned to the
rear of the house, and went about her
duties. AS the arc light, which is To-
Gated at the corner, was out, every
thing was dark. The burglar effected
an entrance by tearing the screen out
of the front window. He was evident
~ familiar with where the money was
kept, as he did not disturb any particle
OF the furniture, in the room. but the
drawer in which the money was Sc
creted. lie escaped through the front
door, which was locked from the in.
side. Mrs. Helmig soon had occasion
to go into the room, and upon seeing
that the motley was gone, she immedi-
ately spread the alarm, and called for
the police. A search was made for the
thief. but it was fruitless, and nothing
can be learned of the robber.

The saloon at 32O East Main street,
conducted by John Hahn, was bur.
glarized last night, and small guam
tity of whisky and cigars and $1.25 in
cash stolen The intruders. gained
an entrance to the building by remov-
ing a board from one of the rear win
dows and tearing a screen therefrom.
They first attempted to get in through
the cellar way but failed in this at
tempt. The burglary was not discov-
cred until the saloon was opened this
morning by Mr.. Hahn's son, Jacob
Hahn. The police were notified and
are making every effort to locate the
guilty party or parties.

Another Wreck.

There was another wreck on the
Burlington railroad yesterday after
noon. at Woodburn. This time it was a
freight train, and although the engine
was completely turned over, no one
was seriously hurt. Engineer Jack
Hardy was at the throttle and the fire.
man was Neil Swanson. Both jumped
from the engine. Hardy had his right
ankle and his back badly sprained and
will be laid up for two or three days.
Swanson's ankle was also spralned, but
not enough to keep him from his work,
The cause OF the accident is due to a
rail being out of the track, and the
train being tagged too short.
III site of the accident was the
Woodburn hill, and the freight train
was one of the fastest on the line, an
extra going east. The Woodburn hill
is almost as steep as the Agency hill,
and to stop a train going thirty-tive
miles an hour down such grade
is not an easy task. The trackmen
who We're working on the track at that
place, had removed u rail for the pur-
pose of putting in a new one. They had
set a flag at what they thought would
be sufficient distance from the place
where they were working.
About las o'clock along came the
fast freight. in charge of Conductor NJ.
/. Paddon, with Engineer j. W. Hardy,
and Fireman Neil Swanson on the en-
CINE. Jack received the flag all right
and did all in his power to stop the
engine, but could not. He called to
the fireman to jump Off and he stayed
by his engine until just few seconds
before it turned over. The engine and
seven cars were derailed Three OF
the ours We're loaded with hogs and
many hogs were killed by the
shock. Had Hardy and Swenson stay.

been killed, for the cab was mashed to
splinters. Both the Creston and Char

row.
Inc engine on that train was one
of the largest and most powerful used
in the Burlington freight service. 1t
is one of the new piston-yalye engines
and was recently brought here from
Aurora, Ill. One thing that was very
strange about the accident was that
the conductor and rear brakeman, who
We're in the way car, did not know that
| the engine and seven cars had left the
| track. until they came up to the front
of the train. There We're thirty-one
ears in the train. All the crew on the
train were Ottumwa men, who are
widely known.

F Des Moines Leader: A delegation of
Ottumwa people appeared at the state
house yesterday to protest against the
assessment of Wapello county. The
leader of the party was Morgan Girls

him We're members Of the board of SUI

eaualized the state Wapeilo was one
of the counties raised per cent. This
didn't please the Wapello people. They
came with figures to show they were
raised more unreasonably than any
other county in the state; that lots Of
other counties deserved 10 be raised,
while they really ought TO have been
reduced, or let alone. They presented
themselves to the council, and were
kindly but firmly told shat the day of

made the assessment, had certified TO
it. and couldn't under any sirc upas ia H.
