COURT ovERRULEs NOTION.

Judge caswelI Does Not Think New
Trial Necessary in Streeter Case
City Will Appeal.
City Solicitor G. II. Van Law argued
a motion before Judge Caswell this
morning for new trial in the case of
E. r. Streeter VS.. the City Of N1arshall-
town, in which jury recently gave the
plaintiff 1926 damages in his suit for
$4,000. The city gave prejudicial evil
dence as the cause for the new trial,
but the court overruled the motion. The
city will carry the case to the supreme
court.
A motion was also heard this fore
noon in the Guthrie VS.. Swab SANDER
suit, which was disposed of Saturday
by a verdict for the defendant. The
plaintiffs counsel wants the costs of
the case taxed to the defendant as well
as the plaintiff.
Considerable trouble was had in Sc
curing jury for the case of j. L. Car
ney VS.. the Campbell Furnace Com
pany. 1t may be possible that new
yenire will have to be made.

him. He traced him as far as Pella,
where he learned from people with
whom the lad stopped that he said he
was bound for Keokk. Several persons
were found who have seen and talked
with the boy, and some admitted giving
him money to help him along. The alb
sence of the lad is causing considerable
concern to his parents, and they know
of no reason why he should have left
home.

COLLISION NARROWLY AvERTED.
Great Western Freight Comes Nearly
CRASHING Into PASSENGER Train,

Great western ffel9ht comes Nearly
Crashing Into Passenger Train.
What might have been a far more
serious affair than the Saturday after
noon wreck occurred here Sunday fore
noon at 10:45 o'clock. when freight No.
GO, east bound, pulled in sight around
the Second avenue curve, under full
steam to make the grade, and infront of
it, over the Third avenue crossing
stood passenger train No. 4. Those at
the depot fairly held their breath until
the freight came to standstill in front
OF the depot, less than half block from
where the passenger train stood. All
that prevented the accident was the
fact that the grade was in favor of the
freight. Had it been down grade Moth
iIg; could have prevented the heavily
loaded freight from crashing into the
passenger. The prompt action Of a
brakeman who happened to be stand
ing; on the platform was largely re-
sponsible for getting the train stopped
as it was. He heard the approach, as
did others, and ran east, tagging it as
1t showed up around the curve.

Near Gladbrook
BRAKEMAN SWIFT is INJURED
Broken Journal Causes the Trouble
Cars Reduced to kindlins Wood and

Greatly lnterfered With.

The breaking of a journal on car
forming a part of the Chicago Great
Westerns fast time freight, No. q, be-
tween Green Mountain and Gladbrook,
caused a disastrous wreck from a prop
erty loss standpoint. Thirteen cars
were sent into the ditch and reduced to
kindling wood. Its is estimated the
damage to rolling stock and contents
will aggregate $4,000.
The train, in charge of Conductor v.
.. Carper, Of Des Moines, was running
at good speed probably twenty-five
miles an hour, when the accident hap
pened. There was no warning, for the
first car that broke fell in such way
as to derail the twelve following, all
being piled in a heap, contents and all.
The cars were largely loaded ones, filled
With meat and merchandise, and the
contents We're almost Totally destroyed.
How it happened that there We're no
lives lost or serious casualties was
hard to imagine from looking at the
wreckage. But one of the trainmen,
Brakeman Sam Swift, of this city, was
injured. Swift had just started out
from the caboose to go over the train
ss the town of Gladbrook was sighted.
one and one-quarter miles distant, and
had he been a few seconds sooner he
would have been killed. He was one
car behind the one on which the jour
nal broke. He realized instantly what
would follow and jumped, alighting
fifteen feet from the track. Aside from
being quite badly bruised, and sustain
ing q slight injury to his ankle that
was badly sprained last winter while in
the employ Of the Iowa Central as a
switchman, he was not hurt. The car
from which he jumped was broken In
two In the middle and half of 1t piled
with. the others In the ditch.
~ The wrecking crew from Des MQines
was sent to the scene of the wreck
Saturday evening and worked all day
Sunday clearing the track. Considera-
BILE steel was torn up and 1T was not
until Sunday night that the track could
be used. All trains Saturday night and
Sunday detoured via the Northwestern,
those from the east running to Tama
and thence to this city, where the main
line was again secured. and those from
the west taking the Northwestern here
to 1,ama, and then to Gladbrook
Great Western men at the scene OF
the wreck say it is the worst accident
from a property damage standpoint,
that has occurred on this division in
years.

PAYMENT QUICKLY MADE.
PoIicie. for Over $4,000 Already Paid
the John e. Duncombe Estate by the
Mutual ife of New York.

AS usual, the quickest monies COM
ing to an estate are those due from
good life insurance companies. This
statement was again proven in Fort
Dodge on Tuesday last, when q check
for S14O69 was delivered to the admin
#istrators Of the estate to John F. Dun
combe, in payment of policies calling
for that amount. which he carried II:
the Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York. After the proofs of death
were forwarded to the company, 1t
took but very few days to bring the
returns.
Mr.. Duncombe also had other good
insurance. He was always a believer
in good life insurance as one Of the
safest and best investments any man
could make for the protection Of his
home, his estate. or business interests.

Gang of italians Narrowly Miss Being
Struck by Passenger Train.
"A gang of italian laborers in the en-
ploy of the Iowa Central had narrow
escape from being run down by north
bound passenger No. / this morning a
short distance north of Oskaloosa. The
men We're on a handcar and evidently
did not hear the approach of the train
until 1T was almost upon them. AS soon
as they discovered their perilous posi-
ton they leapad from the car and at
tempted to draw it out of the way of
the train. 1t did not quite clear the
steps of the first coach and as result
stripped both the front and rear steps.
A passenger, who few moments be-
fore had beer standing on the front
steps. left the platform just in time to
escape probably being badly injured.
The coach was set out at this city for
repairs.

Mr.. DAILY is undoubtedly as goos,
a democrat as could have been Sc

late him on his selection, even tho his

The reckless driving of automobiles through
the city streets has aroused much indigna-
ton that wholesale arrests likely to take
place hereafter. The policemen, both in this
borough and in Brooklyn. were kept busy on
Sunday arresting the owners and drivers of
horseless vehicles who were travelling at a speed
far in excess of what the law allows or what Is
good for the safety of the general public. 1t
thought that the passage of the Coke Speed
Limit BILL which was signed Immediately by
Governor Odell would do much toward putting
q stop to dangerous speeding in this district. but
the police records recently would indicate that
, the excessive speeding of the motor machines
has increased to alarming extent.
Even in the hands of an expert chauffeur
driving an automobile in crowded city thorough
fares at the rate of from fifteen to thirty miles
an hour is dangerous. With driver of little
experience handling the levers and brakes such
speed not only endangers the lives of pedestri-
ans and other drivers, but the operator NM
self Is in danger of meeting with his death.
The governors of the Automobile Club. of
America have promised repeatedly to try to
decry excessive speeding within the city limits,
yet a prominent member and officer OF the
club among those who were arrested Tor
fast driving on Sunday. Another member OF the
club recently arrested appealed to the organ1za-
ton to back him UP, declaring that he had been
arrested illegally. The new law prohibits the
racing of automobiles on the roads in the coun-
try at greater speed than twenty miles an
hour and restricts the speed. of the machines
on city streets to eight miles an hour IL pro-
yIdes for fine of $50 for the first offence, ana
for the second offence fine of a like amount
or Imprisonment or both, in the discretion OF the
court.
over in Brooklyn the drivers of AUTOMOBILES
are restricted to the West Drive when gong
through Prospect Park. but machines were seen
going down the hill and out of the southern
entrance of the park on Sunday afternoon at
speed which endangered the lives of thousands
of people The park gateway is always thronSei
with carriages automobiles and wheelrnen on
Sunday and those who witnessed the crush
there marvelled that no serious accidents TOOK
place Unless under perfect control, the ma
chimes will gain terrific speed going down the
hill and then taking the short turn near the
entrance go out of the gateway at clip Which
makes the spectators hold their breath.
While the bicycle policemen have been par
ticularly active in arresting fast drivers of au-
tomobiles, they have been the terror OF bicycle
scorchers for the last three years The ponce
men admit that they cannot accomplish mucn II
the drivers OF automobiles put on fuli speed ana
