Wreck on Illinois Central.

Fort Dodge, March 13.-There was
a wreck at Pomeroy on the Illinois
Central Thursday night. The char
car and sleeper on the Chicago lin
tied on the Sioux City line left the
track and the chair car was over
turned, causing a number of slight
injuries among the passengers. Two
cars were thrown fifteen feet from the
track Only the fact that the ground
where the cars struck was very soft
and muddy prevented more serious in
juries. The train was running at the
rate of sixty miles an hour when the
accident occurred. Among the in
jtred were: Miss Ella Watson, Fort
Dodge, head cut, and Mrs. A. H.

out of the divorce proceedings insti-

Mr.. Parhe firmly believed, was the
motive for the crime.
