ELKS RACE MEET.
Proposed Plan for July Races
Meets With Encouragement.

The Oskaloosa Elks seem to have
touched popular chord in planning
for race meeting to be1held in this
city in July. The plan as proposed
by the Elks has become pretty gem
orally noised about the city,and it is
meeting with encouragement upon
all sides.
The Elks have appointed.a commit
tee to look after the opening details
and in case the project is to be car
ried to an Issue this same committee
will have direction of the affairs.
They will be sort of board of adj
ministration and other committees
will act from under their direction.
This committee is made up of the fol-
lowing gentlemen, Walter Burrell,
Chas. S. Walling, John H. Harrison,
Joseph Stumps and O. E. Lofland.
There will be meeting of the COM
mittee Immediately and it will not be
many days before the plan is definite
ly determined upon.
The Elks are not alone in their en-
thusiasm over the plan. They are
receiving unstinted encouragement
and proffered support from the bust
ness men of the city who assert that
it is the best and most wide awake
thing that has been done for the town
in many years.
One man said that he had once
been in favor of Oskaloosa having a
street fair or some sort of an annual
carnival that would draw people to
the city and attract trade, but in his
opinion the Elks plans for race
meeting done upon business basis
and along legitimate lines would be
worth many times the questionable
value of the street fair.
The races, if the present plans
carry, will be made the best the state
and the west will afford. The purses
that will be hung up will be of suf-
ficient magnitude to attract the best
horses in the country and the success
of the meeting will be assured,

CUT TO PIECES.
Wiebe Brouwer, of Pella, Killed
by a Rock Island Train.

Wiebe Brouwer, of Pella, was in
stantly killed in front of the Rock
Island passenger station on Rock
Island avenue about II 40 o'clock this
afternoon. He fell beneath moving
train and the wheels of several cars
passed over his body.
The wheels passed over the legs
severing them from the trunk and
the body was.disemboweled and 9TH
erwise mangled. Instant death must
have been the result. Brouwer was at
the station in the morning and pur-
chased ticket for Pella. The agent
told him that it was three hours until
train time but the man said he would
get his ticket and be sure OF it. He
was seen loafing around the station.
He had been drinking some but was
not intoxicated.
Freight train No. PAL of the Rock
Island in charge of Conductor O. E.
Brown and Engineer Roach, with en-
CINE 472, pulled into the station and
commenced their switching. The
train was backing east past the pas
senger station and Brouwer had
crossed the track to the south side.
He managed in some manner to get
onto one of the passing cars and was
seen while hanging on the side lad
der of the car. He was next seen
being rolled along beneath the cars.
The body was dragged about two car
lengths before the end of the train
passed over and left the legs on one
side and the trunk on the other.
Will McCabe and Roadmaster
Shields were sitting in the Office and
hearing an unusual noise McCabe
started Up and said that something
was the matter with the track.
Shields raised the blind and said a
man had been run over. McCabe
saw that the train was about to pass
over the place again and ran from
the building to signal the crew,
none of whom had seen the acct
dent.
The remains were picked up and
placed in the baggage room of the
depot to await the disposition of the
coroner.
The dead man, Wiebe Brouwer, was
resident of Pella, and the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mana Brouwer, of that city.
Mrs Hattie Grant, of this city, is a
sister of the deceased. Her husband,
U. S. Grant, a son of Constable J. o.
Grant, was killed few years ago on
the Carbonate switch ia a railway
accident.
1t is supposed that the man was at
tempting to pass the time in the
amusement of riding on the switch
ing train and that he missed his hold
and fell. The deceased is about 30
or 35 years of age. kilograms were
sent to Pella notifying the parents of
the accident. The remains were taken
to the McCurdy place and will there
be prepared for shipment to Pella.
There will be an inquest held but the
time has not been fixed.
