T FIGHT ENDING.
Sam Rudy Hits Chas. Lyman with
ann and Drops Dead.

Winfield Ia May 31.-A strange
case of death and injury occurred
here last evening, when Sam Rudy,
a farmer living near town, attacked
Chas. Lyman an overgrown country
boy, and then dropped dead immedi-
ately after the assault.
Budy drove into Winfieldlwith his
team near dark, when he was met by
Lyman, who made some sighting re-
mark at the turnout. Rudy became
enraged and stepping into a nearby
store secured a hammer with the APP
parent intention Of making a few re-
pairs. Instead, he attacked the lad,
striking him with considerable force
on the top of his head, three times In
rapid succession.
Lyman sank to the ground and
with a groan said: "Quit, you've
killed me now"
As soon as Rudy had committed
the assault, he started to walk to-
ward his wagon, but before he
reached it, reeled and fell Owe dead.
Doctors made an examination of the
man, but could find no wound or
scratch of any kind upon the body,
and attribute his death to either a
ct or passion caused by his anger to-
ward Lyman.

HARD RAIN.
Torrents of Water Encountered by
Iowa Central Train.

Conductor H. A. Colt and Engineer
Otis Nugent, of the Iowa Central
Memorabilia run, tell of foods of
water that was encountered by the
train Monday morning between New
Sharon and Newton. The gentlemen
state that the water came down in
great floods from great black clouds.
1t was almost a waterspout. In places
level fields were transformed into
lakes of great area and in several
places that water was so deep that it
went over the Central grade and COW
cred the track to a depth of several
inches. No washouts, however, have
been reported.
Locally the storm was hardly felt.
The great dark clouds skirted the
city to the north and the west, but
this county did not seem to come in
to the path of the water fall.

UNMOURNED AND UNKNOWN.
Victim of Railroad Accident Inferred
In Old Cemetery.

The funeral Of the man supposed
to be Thomas Meek was held at the
FoehIinger undertaking rooms on
First avenue east Sunday afternoon
at 4:3O O'Clock and interment was
made in the Old Cemetery. A brief
service was held. A choir from the
Christian church sang a couple of
hymns. Rev. Engstrom of the Pres
byterian church conducted a service
of prayer and addressed the small
company present in remarks sug-
gested by the case.
Coroner Chas. Foehlinger tele-
crap he'd to the address, West Alton,
found in the note book in which the
man kept his time with the railroad
company or the foreman for whom
he was working. No ms ructions
were received for the disposition of
the body and hence it was buried by
the county,
Companions who we're with the
man Friday evening stated that in
their opinion Meek was not the cor
rect name of the deceased, but that
he had assumed that alias on account
of so me trouble that he had bad at a
former place of residence. His real
name end place of residence or fam
lily connections are unknown.
1t is said by the Iowa Central yard
men that the fellow was much intoxi
Gated at the time and that he had
climbed upon the train No. 80 east
bound. He fell off on some account
and rolled under the wheels of a string
of ears that was being pulled ouI
from a track at the side by the
switch engine.
Coroner Foehlinger had a photo
graph of the deceased taken for the
purp ose of future Identification o.

STERETT PROMOTED.
Iowa Central Agent Made Trav-
cling Freight Solicitor.

A deserved promotion goes to w.
r. Sterett Of the Iowa Central of this
city. A well founded rumor is going
the rounds to the effect that Mr..
Sterett in the near future will be
made travelling freight agent of the
Iowa Central in the territory north
of Oskaloosa with headquarters in
this city. The promotion is a merit
ed recognition Of one of the most
worthy and deserving employees on
the line of the road.
Mr.. Sterett was seen and does not
deny the rumor but additional de-
tails regarding the change or as to
Mr.. S~terett's in the Oska-
loosa station are not mentioned.
Mr.. Sterett has been quite
full in his line of work. The gentle
man started upon his career in the
railway service when he was twenty
years Of age. He engaged in station
work at Morning Sun for the B., G..
R. & N. Railway in 1879 and worked
for that company until 1883, when he
was checked into the Iowa Central
station at that point as agent and for
even years he filed this position.
He was promoted to the agency at
Monmouth, Ill, and was very sue
cessful here until 1897, when he was
again promoted to the place of gem
eral agent for the Iowa Central at
Oskaloosa in which capacity he has
served until the present time.
The many friends of the gentleman
will be pleased to learn of the pro-
motion and will extend him sincerest
congratulations. His ability in his
chosen field of work has been recog-
nized for some time and when a
man was needed for the general
freight field it seems that the man
agement knew just where to find
him.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Bibulous Stranger Courts Death in
Iowa Central Yards.

Another accident that would have
resulted fatally was narrowly averted
in the Iowa Central yards Saturday
night. A man much the worse for
liquor started down through the
yards and fell under a string of cars
as he staggered along his way. 1t
was the merest chance that discov-
cred the fellow to the trainmen in
time to save him. He was pulled
out from his perilous position and
was told to get out of the yards. He
started to obev and the engine crew
went on with it's switching. The en-.
CINE was about to kick back"
another car when a form was seen to
fall across the track over which the
a was about to pass. The car was
stopped just in time and the pros
trate form of the same fellow was
again picked up. This timeshe was
hustled out of harm 'siSway by the
police officers who had been looking
for him.
The south yards of the central is a
dangerous locality for a man pos
sessed of all his faculties and senses
and it keeps a sober man guessing to
keep out of harms way in going
through the tangle of tracks and
switches. A man in liquor is almost
certain to come to grief III the yards
but there seems to be no wayito keep
the fellows out.

LAID TRACK SUNDAY
Two Different Roads Do Some
Swift Construction.

The elements were not the only
things at war In the southwest part
of town Sunday. While the rain
came down as the waters are report
ed to do at Ladore, and the lightning
was splintering trees, making de signs
on the b. & w. depot and flirting
with the Leader store, about two
hundred men were showing the
spectators how to build railroads. 1t
was a ease in which David Harum's
advice was being followed-''Do unto
others as they would do you, but do
them first"
Long before sun up-because by
some special dispensation Old Sol
was very sleepy that morning-one
hundred Burlington & Western Sec
ton men, picked up by special train
between Mediapolis and this station,
were at work laying track from B
street west along the recently acquir-
ed right of way to the Iowa Central
tracks. Just why they did not go
across the Iowa Central early in the
morning was moi known but later in
the day there was good reaso APP
parent, as a string of Iowa Central
cars were set in on the Peoria divi-
sion tracks. About elk O'Clock in
the evening one hundred of the
Italians who are doing grading work
north OF town On the Iowa Central
came in by special train with their
shovels and picks and proceeded to
build q new line of railroad, without
the formalities of surveys, subsidies,
or the sale of bonds. The new line
was not very long but it was suff-
cient to block the progress of the B.
& W. Two fiat cars were backed on
to it, n of which was partially
ditched, making a permanent bar
rier.
By this time the B. & W. workmen
had doubled their shins into narrow
guage cars and were speeding home.
ward, happy in the possession of
three square meals, and orders call
ing for 26 cents per hour for their
Sabbath work. But before they left
they preempted their claim against
interference from the Rock Island,
which virtually occupies the same
right of way, and had brought the
Iowa Central up to a point where
the Railroad Commissioners will
j kelly be called upon for a decision.
The B. & W. people say, however,
that they had designs on nobody's
rights. They simply chose the time
and meant to establish a basis of sup.
plies for the new line they will build
to Tracy. The only place they had
suitable for this was the site of the
old Long coal mine, and as men are
so scarce 1t was impossible to secure
help, except by using their section
men after hours. The regular pay of
section men is now s1.75 per day and
they were allowed time and a half, or
81. 62H for ten hours work on Sunday.
The length of track laid was only a
little over a quarter of a mile and the
labor alone will cost the road over
$500.
The men at work on the two roads
and the hosts of spectators gave the
scene of operations a busy appear
ance, one in keeping with the spirit
of Greater Osksloosa.
More Tracks Built.
The Iowa Central construction gang
put in two more spurs Monday morn
ing, one west of their Peoria line and
one east of the Abba line. . II the @.
builds ahead now this will make five
tracks that they will have to cross.
