team was in waiting.
The boys back is broken. the left side
of his chest crushed in, the inside bone
of his right ankle is fractured and there
may be other injuries. Els head, face.
hack and shoulders are skinned and
bruised. Owing to the injury to the

TWO BODIES FOUND
Searching Party Receivers Two Vic
Tins of tho Fraser Accident-cole-
mans Struggle for Life.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, June 1.-TWO bodies of the
men who were drowned In the Fraser
accident Monday were recovered late
Thursday. They were:
Andrew Marchina.
Steve Commandina.
The searching for the bodies was
kept up all day and night by a large
number of people. A searching party
was out when the swift current brought
the bodies to the surface. They were
quickly secured and taken to the UNI
dertaking rooms in Fraser A telephone
message was received in this city at
noon and S. j. Jayne went to Fraser to
look after the bodies. The two who
We're recovered were Italians.
Yesterday afternoon it was reported
that some one on the shore at Fraser
was using a large hook In the river in
the hopes Of securing one of the bodies.
He secured one and was drawing 1t to
the shore when the clothing gave away
and the body sank back out OF sight.
The body has not been seen since.
A spectator Of the awful accident at
Fraser Monday tells of the fight made
by Coleman for his life, after he real
lied he had cramps. He had stripped
and jumped into the water at the bridge
across the river at Fraser. He was
told not TO go in but said that he was
not afarid. He had gotten to where
the water was eighteen feet deep when
he shouted for help that he had taken
cramp. No one was able to give the
help for which he called. He sank and
in a moment was again to the surface.
He called again for help which could
be heard by the hundreds who were on
the shore and on the bridge This was
repeated twenty times the man each
time he came to the surface calling for
help. The swift current took him ra p
idly down the stream, and when he
sank the last time still calling for help,
he was fully 400 yards below the bridge
of where he had taken the cramps
This scene had a very depressing eff
fct upon the searchers, especially after
the vain attempt to get to the shore.

Montour, June 12-This town yester-
day was the scene of a family disturb
ancc that promised q tragedy and FUR
r,shed a subject for most lively interest.
The troubles of the Campbell family
eliminated in street scene IN Which
Mrs. Campbell appeared with gun in
her hand and ordered Mrs. Bessie Gard
ner Palmer to leave town ald keep of
the street or she would shoot her. The
fact that Bessie stepped into nearby
doctors office is all that saved her from
becoming a target for the Infatuated
woinan's craftsmanship.
The trouble arose last fall when Dr.
q. e. Campbell's wife was called out OF
town to the bedside of her mother and
detained there severai weeks. Bessie,
vino did not bear an enviable reputa1
ton. was working at the .lotel where
the doctor was boarding. The doctor
engaged her to keep house for him dur
ing his wife's absence and the arrange
meat created such a local scandal that
complaint was made TO the county at
torney, who notified Mrs. Campbell. The
latter, very naturally, returned post
haste and Bessie hied herself to Des
Moines, where she engaged work in
hotel. Returning from Des MoineS she
aroused the jealousies and suspicious of
Mrs. Campbell who, at one time. had
slammed the door of the doctors office
in Bessie's face when the latter with
her grandmother was trying to enter,
and threats of shooting were made that
ought to have made Bessie more care
full.
Yesterday Mrs. Campbell was in her
husbands Office with the doctor when
Bessie passed by on the opposite side
of the street. Mrs. Campbell walked
over to her own room at the hotel and
carrying revolver wrapped
UP in newspaper. but with the butt
plainly visible as she walked thru the
hotel Office. AS Bessie came along by
the ONCE again, and this time on the
office side of the street. Mrs. Campbell
rushed out in rage, carrying her gun
in a paper in che hand and
her baby on the other arm. She warned
tiG Ntlhdiht W W lIc''
Moines and threatened 10 FIX her so
THAT she could never return If she tried
% pass that office again. The doctor
pulled his wife back into the office to
,acify her. but Mrs Campbell put the.
baby down and rushed back into the
street, where she fired the revolver
either at the offending woman or into
he air. Bessie lost no time in skipping
around the corner and into DR.. earns |
iff1ce, which probably saved her life. |
She returned to Des Moines on the
afternoon train.

The past week the editor of the Re-

counties of the state and the worst
condition that he saw anywhere outside
of the river bottoms, is between here
and Thornburg. Even rolling ground
around Nassau is not planted In many
cases and where planting has been done
the weeds are numerous. The fiat
ground along the G. & NJ presents a
much more favorable aspect than does
the rolling land southeast of us. They
evidently had a lot of rain down there
that did not reach this section. In the
vicinity of Cedar Rapids considerable
blowing of corn was done part of last
week. The corn that is up is doing
well, all things considered. In this
vicinity crops are looking much better
than in many localities and the sun
shine and wind Of the first of the
week made it possible to get in some
good ticks in the fields. There Is still
some planting to do in this vicinity
but the great bulk of corn was plant
ed before the rains. Considerable mil
let will be sown on fiat ground.
