Rock Rapids, Aug. S.-A bad wreck
occurred at the crossing of the Rock
STAND and Omaha railways here last
night, in which one engine is down a
twelve-f foot eInIba nl1ment and several
cars are smashed and the track torn
up for about a hundred feet. Three
trains were due at about the same time
and the heavy Rock Island freight on
slippery track was uncomfortable and
crashed into the Omaha mixed train,
cutting it entirely in two, dltching some
lumber and refrigerator cars. The Otn-
aha engineer had the right off, way and
after he was on the crossing he saw the
other engineer was unable to stop, so
he put on his air brake and stopped his
train so that the passenger coaches
were back far enough to be out of dam
ger, as he could not clear the track in
time. The engineer and firemen on The
Rock Island jumped and escaped in
jury. Slight bruises were received by
some of the passengers from the abrtlpt
stop. but no one was killed. A car of
hoGs was left across both tracks off The
rails. All trains were delayed several
hours.

Tama, Aug. S.-F'rom all indications.
and from what can be learned from
those who claim TO be posted as to
the inner details. the first mortgage
bond holders of the Tama Mills and
Filler Company are preparing to fore
close on the big plant of the company
here, and place the business In the
hands Of receiver. 1t Is claimed that
the plans have all been agreed upon
by the holders Of the first mortgage
bonds, amounting to $4,000, and that
the formal foreclosure will be when
court convenes in the October term.
The paper mill has not been oper-
ated since the failure of Boardman
Bros, of Nevada. several months ago,
that firm having been one of the big
consumers of the company's product,
filters for egg cases. The greater por-
ton of the stock of the company is
owned or controlled by J. H. Batch
elder president of the company, and
manager of the business. He has built
up the business from nothing, but now
lacks working capital. Should he
succeed in raising sufficient funds to
put the business on its feet it is likely
the bond holders will hold off and not
make any attempt to interfere with
the business They do not anticipate
that Mr.. Batchelder will be able to get
possession Of the necessary capital,
and have foreseen the foreclosure for
some time.
The Tama concern is one of the larg
est independent straw board and egg
case filler companies in the country.
and Its failure to operate has been
quite detrimental to the interests of the
town. The company issued form of
scrip, which the merchants of the
town have been carrying in large guam
titles, furnishing goods to holders, the
same as If cash We're given. The scrip
is practically worthless at present ard
great many of the merchants have
lost heavily, some, 1t is claimed, up
into the thousands Of dollars.
