MUST SETTLE UP.
Steps Taken Against People Who
Do Not Do So.
Merchants Organize a Protective Asso'
ciatiOn.-..City and State Legislation
to Be Sought For, Also.

People who make it a business to
run up bills that they never expect to
pay will have a harder time to get
along in Mankato in the future, if the
plans of the merchants are carried out.
At a meeting of the local business men
last night at J. 81. Longs Office, a
Merchants Protective association was
organized, with membership of sixty
retail merchants. 1t is expected to in
crease this number to a hundred
which would take in all of the mer-
chants in town. The meeting Monday
night was the second one held, and
officers were elected and other bust
ness transacted.
The purpose of the organization is a
double one. 1t is proposed, first, that
the members shall assist each other in
seeing that customers pay their bills,
and to refuse to extend credit where
this is not done; and, second, that the
general trade interests of the city be
looked after more carefully.
The plan is to have headquarters
TO be maintained by donation of %
cents month by each member, and
also by commission on all bills col.
lected by it. The merchants will re,
port to headquarters all persons who
are not entitled to receive credit, and
the names will be placed on the BLACK
list and furnished to all the Other
merchants. There is goodly list o.
these names to begin with-people wht
have obtained goods on credit and wht
refuse to pay for the same. The asso
citation will be sort of local Brad
streets. There is class of peopl,
who will run up bills at one place ant
then transfer their patronage to an
other store and repeat the process
Some of the merchants do not know
these people, and it is expected tina
all will be placed on their guard a
soon as this game is played upon one

find his credit gone at all af the store

LOST HIS LEFT FOOT
Perry Love, of sigourney, Meets
With Serious Accident.
FELL BENEATH A FREIGHT TRAIN
Man Was Stealing Ride and In At
tempting to Alight Missed His Foot
ing and Fell-Taken to the ottumwa
Hospital.

Perry Love, whose home is at ST.
courtney, met with a serious accident
at the Milwaukee crossing over Sec
ond street at Ais o'clock yesterday
afternoon. While attempting to alight
from Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul freight train he slipped and fell
with his left foot under the wheels.
The foot was crushed SO badly that
amputation was necessary. The man
was removed to the Ottumwa hospital
where the operation was performed
soon afterwards. The patient with
stood the shock well and today is re-
ported as improving
Is Barber.
Love is a barber by occupation and
in company with his brother, w. M.
Love, of Joplin, Mo-, decided to come
to Ottumwa yesterday afternoon. They
reached the depot at Sigourney while
the local freight No. 81 was standing
there, and while the train was doing
some switching, Love claims he met
a stockman whom he knew, who had
a load of horses in the train. Love
claims he and his brother received
permission from the owner of the
horses to ride in the car of horses to
Ottumwa, and when the train pulled
out of Sigourney they climbed on
board. Everything went all right un-
til the train had reached the Second
street crossing in this city,, when
Love climbed out of the horse car on
to fiat car which was next to it. AS
the train pulled over the crossing the
two men swung to the ground. Ia
some manner Perry Love slipped, and
he was thrown with his left leg
across the track. The wheel struck
just above the foot and two pairs of
trucks of loaded car had passed ov-
er it before it could be extricated.
Taken to Hospital.
When the train stopped the train
men picked Love up and carried him
to the side of the street where a cab
was called and he was Immediately
taken to the hospital. Physicians
were on hand when he reached there
and at the first examination it was
seen that amputation was necessary.
This was done at $50 o'clock by Doc
tors Williams, Spilman and Russell.
Company Not Blamed.
The train upon which the man was
injured was in charge of Conductor
J. G. Cunningham of this city, with
Engineer Smith of Marion at the
throttle. No blame is attached to the
railroad company, as the man was
stealing ride and the trainmen did
not know he was on board.

totally destroyed here at 8 o'clock
this morning. The car was stationed
near the depot and the flames were
discovered by the night Waterman,
who Immediately sounded the alarm
but the fire had gained such control
that it was impossible to extinguish
it. No theory is advanced as rea-

mors that it was caused by anything
other than an accident, probably by
coal from the boiler used to generate
power for the engine.

IVY
''The saving of Frank Wymans
crippled son, Allen, was one of the
most dramatic incidents of the fire.
With his father the boy occupied one
of the front boxes. When the fire
struck panic into the crowd they rush
ed forward over seats and boxes,
sweeping every one over the railing
into the grounds below. In the crush
Mr.. Wyman was unable to care for his
boy, who might have been trampled
on had not a young man of athletic
frame come to the fathers assistance.
The young man braced himself against
the railing of the box and seized the
screen in front with both hands, MAX
ing a bridge and bulwark which resist
ed every effort of the mad crowd to
burst through. Thus freed from the
impact of the mob, Mr.. Wyman was
able to jump to the ground and catch
the boy, who was dropped down into
his fathers arms by the young man
who had successfully combatted the
crowd. Mr.. Wyman has not been able
to learn the name of his timely assist
ant, and he is DESTROYS of finding him. -
The man referred to is Frank Har-
mon, whose parents reside in this city.
1t illustrates the fact that Ottumwa
products may be depended upon to do
the right thing at the right time. They
are true blue and Frank is as blue as
the bluest.
