Sad Home Coming of Davenport
Workman.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, March 17.-Sad indeed
was the home coming of George nj. Pc
terson Yesterday noon. He had hidden
a fond goodbye to his wife in the
morning and hurried off to his labors at
the factory of the Davenport Button
Company. His custom had been to re-
turn to the home, 1907 West Sixth
street, for the MONDAY meal. He did
so Yesterday But the house seemed
strange when he entered. His wife was
not in the kitchen and there had evil
IDENTIFY been no preparation for dinner.
He called his wife but received no an
swer. Then he began search and In
the bedroom he found her, prone on the
floor and cold in death. Her motherless
children, Sadie aged little more than
wears, and Wesley, baby, We're cry
ing.
Physicians We're summoned. but 1t
was too late to call the wife and moth
err back to life. Then message was
sent to County Coroner Lambach. The
latter visited the scene and made an
examination of the dead woman. His
decision was that no inquest was nee
essary. 1t was clearly case of heart
trouble with which she had been trou-
bled for some time. The fatal seizure
had evidently attacked her as she
started to make the bed.

SPENT NIGHT IN RIVER.
Terrible Experience of C. E. Newman,
of Sioux City.

of Sioux City.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, March 17.-At 5 o'clock
yesterday morning call boy for the
Omaha road found c. e. Newman, of
1917 Plymouth street, tailor IN the
employ of Johnson Sc Aronson, lying
nearly dead on the bank of the Floyd
river near the East Seventh street
wagon bridge.
The man was soaked to the skin, and
the water driven by the wind was roll
ing over his PROSTATE body. The boy
ran to the home of j. NJ Percy, 1918
East Seventh street, and, with the as
sistance of Mr. Percy. Newman was
rescued. At Mr. Percy's home he
was wrapped in warm blankets, and
was soon able to tell the story of his
terrible experience.
In going home Mr.. Newman crosses
the bridge. The night was intensely
dark Workmen during the day had
torn up the decking on the east end of
the bridge, which Mr.. Newman did not
know. He started across the structure
from the west side, and suddenly
stepped off into the darkness and fell
twenty feet with splash into tue wa
ter below. He was stunned and Devil
dered. Fortunately the water was only
chest deep. He CROPPED his way thru
mud and water to the bank, which was
so steep he could climb out. He tried
in vain to find something to catch hold
of to pull himself up, but could not. He
shouted vainly for help for over an
hour. His cries We're drowned by the
wind. which shrieked thru the timbers
of the bridge. Exhausted, he lay down
in the shallow water and soon was
overcome from cold and exposure. All
night long the cold water splashed over
him. A cold rain added to his suffer-
ing, and it is a wonder he survived.
The police ambulance took Mr. New
man from the home of Mr.. Percy after
he had recovered from the shock, and
last evening he was said to be getting
along well, altho it probably will be
sometime before he fully RECEIVERS from
