The residence Of S. L. McGarraugh,
a mile west of here, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire last Wednesday after
noon, the only things that were saved
being some furniture. Nothing toward
saving the house could be done when
the fire was discovered, and the neigh

what furniture they could. There is
very little doubt but that the fire was
started from the chimney. as there had
been a Are in the stove. 1t Is supposed
that a spark set fire to leaves and other
things in the caves and the flames soon

COLLISION NEAR IOWA CITY.
Local Freight and Construction Train
In Wreck.


Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City, March 22.-Locai freight
No. II. ran into a construction train
on the Chicago, Rock Island track half
mile west of here yesterday evening
and Engineer Arnold OF the regular
freight was slightly hurt. Five cars
and an engine went over the esnbank-
ment and were badly broken up.
The Rock Island track, leaving the
city westward, runs between high clay
banks which obstruct the sight. The
freight train was coming into the cityr
running swiftly on the down grade and
the construction train was backing out.
They met on a high embankinent about
half a mile out.
The construction train was running
slowly and the men seeing the APP
preaching train, were able to stop the
cars and jump. The engineer and fire
man on the freight stuck to their post
and only jumped when everything had
been done to stop the train and they
found it impossible. AS the two trains
came together both jumped. The brake
man and several Of the passengers had
already done so. Several of them sus-
tanned injuries but none of these were
of serious nature.
The impact of the two trains sent the
engine, OF the freight and five freight
cars into the ditch from the top of the
high embankment. The caboose was
also overturned but there was no one
in 1t at the time.
Only one car Of the work train was
over turned. The damage will amount
to $4,000.

Every Effort to Raise the $4,000 Bond

Trouble is Ended.
Special to Times-RepubucaA

Minneapolis, March 22.-Samuel G..
Hazard, convicted of having more
than the legal number of wives and
sentenced to the penitentiary, must in
all probability go to saltwater Thurs
day or Friday and there await the re-
suit of his appeal to the supreme court.
Judge +. c. Brooks yesterday morn
ing fixed the amount OF the defend
ants appeal bond at $4,000, in spite of
the strenuous efforts OF counsel to have
the amount lowered to $4,000. first
Assistant County Attorney c. S. Jelley
insisted that $4,000 was not too high a
figure, and objected to any further stay
OF sentence. Judge Brooks. however,
saw fit to compromise on stay, and
gave the defendant until Thursday
noon to perfect bond.
The large amount of the bail re-
uuired makes it practically prohibitive,
altho hope is not entirely given up by
Mr. Hazard and Viva kirkpatrick
Hazard. wife No. o. who is in the
city and is using every means to keep
her Sam from going to the peniten-
tiary.
Viva came from her Iowa home on
Saturday night and spent most of yes
terday in conference with the prisoner.
She made an emphatic protest against
Dir. Linda Burfield continuing her Wis
its to the jail. and the prisoner agreed.

but l am afraid that we can't raise
Sc, 900. l am going to try to get papa
to help us, but, altho he says he will
help to get Mr.. Hazard pardoned when
he is once in the penitentiary, he seems
to want him to go there first"
Thus the man who has been married
three times and has been found guilty
Of bigamy, seems doomed to add to his
fund of experience by spending a few
months at least in the penitentiary. He
states that he will. when out of Jail. go
thru another ceremony with Viva
Fitchpatrick. so that there can be no
question of his being married to her.
After that they expect to live hap
PLY ever afterward."
An appeal is being perfected as rap
idly as possible and it is hoped that 1t
will be placed on the April term calen-
dar Of the supreme court.
