LITTLE zAIDA MULLEN STRUCK
BY SWIFTLY MOVING CAR.
LIFE IS HANGING In THE BALANCE
Was Crossing Track at Corner of Wa
pello and Second Streets and Did
Not See Car Approachins-Was
Struck by Mail Box.
~ TTKEi
From Fridays Daily.

FROM FRIDAYS Daily.
While crossing the street car tracks
on West Second street at the corner
of Wapello yesterday at 1880 p. M.
Zaida Mullen, the 10 year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Mullen, 525
West Fourth street, was struck down
by car running at high rate OF
speed and sustained injuries which
may cause her death. The little one
was struck in the head by mail box
at the side of the car and sustained a
deep cash from which the blood flowed
profusely. There were several eye
witnesses to the frightful accident and
they carried the unconscious child to
the home of T. G.. Tolbert, 334 West
Second street. DR.. M. II. Sprague was
summoned and rendered medical assis-
lance to the sufferer Officer c. D. SUIT
ton called the ambulance and had the
child removed to her home.
Child Did Not See Car.
The child had been sent to the gro
Gerry by her mother and was walking
leisurely along eating bunch of
grapes. Several passersby noticed
her walk toward the street car tracks
and they saw the car approaching at
rapid rate. They presumed, howev-
err, that the child was aware of the
approach of the car. The child had
not quite reached the tracks when
the car struck her. The mail box at
the side struck her head and she
was thrown forcibly to the pavement
with the blood flowing profusely from
a deep cash in her head.
Car Travelling Fast.
The car was No. 81 in charge of
Conductor F. G. Stone. The mo.
| torman was j. j. Halton. The car
was going down grade and eye wit
nesses of the accident state that it
was travelling at high rate of speed.
1t was impossible to slacken the speed
of the car before the child was struck
although every effort was made to
do so by the motorman.
| The little one suffered a conclusion
of the brain and the physicians have
| little hope of her recovery. Drs. M.
H. Sprague and A. O. Williams have
been working with the sufferer since
the accident occurred but as the Cour-
| Ter goes to press she has not recovered
consciousness. Mr.. Mullen, who is
night bookkeeper at the Morrell Of
| flee, and Mrs. Mullen were at home
when their daughter was brought home
in the ambulance apparently lifeless
and they were grief-stricken. The ply.
sicians are doing everything in their
power to save the life that is now
hanging in the balance.
DR.. Williams Statement.
DR.. A. o. Williams was seen al
$3.50 O'Clock this afternoon and he
stated that the child's skull had been
trephined, the bone raised and num-
Der of small fragments of bones taken
out. He stated that although the
child has lost a tablespoonful of brain
substance, hope of saving her life had
not been given up.

LoMAck IN TROUBLE.
Former ottumwa Pastor Sued For ri.
vorce by Wife of a Few Months.

vorce by Wife of a Few Months.
If Rev. F. G. Lomack had never left
Ottumwa he would doubtless have
avoided large chunks of trouble.
When Rev. Lomack was in this city
he was pastor of the colored Baptist
church and was never in any serious
trouble. Then he went to Des Moines
and there is where he made the mis-
take of his life. A short time ago
he was shot by jealous sutton for
the hand of a widow, whom he was
escorting home AS soon as he recov-
cred sufficiently he married the wild
ow and now she is suing him for di-
vorce. Lomack also has filed a divorce
petition and the romance which was
hurried along by pistol shots has been
rudely shattered. A Des Moines dis
patch today gives the details of the
latest grief into which the former pas
tor has fallen:
Des Moines Sept. 4-(SpeciaD =
Discharged from the penitentiary
where he served term for the acci--
dental killing of a fellow man, preach
er, evangelist, and for several years
pastor of the First African Baptist
church, which stands at the head OF
West Fifth street, Rev. F. Lomack,
who carries a bullet in his lungs from
the pistol of AL Mckinney whose
sweetheart the preacher evangelist
welded, is the central feature in an
other sensational incident This time
he is defendant in a divorce suit com
menced by the woman for whom Nc
Kinney fired the shot, for which Nc
Kinney is now serving a term in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison.
Charges of Cruelty.
Mrs. Lomack alleges cruel and in
human treatment, setting out highly
colored allegations to the effect that
her husband beat and choked her. Ac-
cording to the petition the married life
has been most unhappy. She alleges
that she has been denied the comforts
of life, and that instead of loving and
obeying her as he has promised, her
preacher husband has disregarded ev-
cry marriage VOW.
The Marriage.
The marriage of Rev. Lomack and
Mrs. Julia Tyler terminated very
breezy romance. Mrs. Tyler conduct
ed restaurant down town. AL McKin-
ney, colored laboring man, boarded
with the family on Fifth street, and it
is understood was sutton of the res
taurant proprietress. Being member
of his parish, however, Rev. Lomack
regarded it as his duty to look after
her welfare. and often appeared at the
door of the little restaurant to escort
her home. One evening as the widow
and the preacher We're walking UP
Fifth street, after night at the thea
tire, Mckinney leaped out from the
shadow of a tree and began firing al
the couple One shot struck the
preacher in the lungs. Mrs. Tyler es
capped without injury.
Lomack was taken to the hospital
where he recovered. Mckinney was
sentenced to two years at Fort Madi
SON When the minister was sufficient
ly able he married the widow.
