and being dragged from his perilous
position by the police, was the exper-
fence that befell some unknown EN-
ploye of the gypsum mills at about 5:45
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The story told by the police is that
about $3.50 Sunday, a telephone call
was turned in by some woman residing
near the cracker factory at Eighth
street railroad crossing. She was
greatly excited and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that the police
finally got her to tell her story. She
stated that some one was lying on the
tracks near Eighth street and that 1t
was impossible for any one there to
arouse him. The patrol wagon was put
into service and made a rapid rur. to
the crossing, where they found the
man stretched in a drunken stupor
across both rails. and apparently dead
to what was or might be occurring.
Two policemen took hold of him and
dragged him from this dangerous rest
ing place just as the east bound
freight came Numbering past.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Dec. 13.-While operating
an engine at the rate of forty-five
miles an hour last night. Engineer
Frank Wight of this city was injured
by being struck by flying boards torn
from the cab by a broken side-rod,
The blow struck Mr.. Wight upon the
left limb inflicting severe bruises. and
it was by narrowest margin that he
escaped death. He Is now under the
care of a physician at his home on Oak
avenue.
The escape of Engineer Wight from
instant death was miraculous. With
such suddenness did the accident oc-
cur that he scarce had time to realize
what had transpired before portions
OF the cab struck him upon the left
limb, badly bruising him near the knee.
He was otherwise injured, but not Sc
riously. While the engine was NOV
ing, the side-rod famed the air like a
hugh fail, carrying away the seat on
which Engineer Wight was sitting, to
within a few inches of his body. Less
than a foot remained between the en-
gineer and the end of the revolving
rod

Anamosa, Dec. 13.-There is a verit-
able 'hammerfest" in progress at the
Anamosa prison, and when it Is over
the inside of the stockade walls will
be SO smooth that nothing but a fly
can climb them.
1t has long been felt that 1t would be

Hill had on his shoes and stockings,
trousers and undershirt just as he was
dressed for work in the hot kitchen, 1t
has been learned that he laid for some
days around a stable where he found
an old horse blanket, which he wore
when he went to another place and
asked for clothing. Instead of detain-
ing him and notifying the authorities
these people partially QUILTED him and
later he jumped Milwaukee train and
rode out Of the country, blind baggage.
1t is believed that he will be captured.

Rockwell City, Dec. 13.-Sunday
night the postoffice here was burglar
lied and $3.50 in money and $1S7 In
stamps of one and two cent denomina-
tons were taken from the safe. The
burglars made good their escape and
have not yet been apprehended
When S. j. Purnell, the deputy post
master, came to the office at o'clock,
yesterday morning, he found the front
door of the office unlocked, and on en-
te.ring the building discovered that the
safe also was unlocked and standing
open. All the cash had been taken
from the money chest. which was
found lying on the floor. A few dollars
secreted in another part of the safe
were not discovered. Quite a lot OF
stamps were found scattered around
over the floor.
There was no damage to the safe or
buildings, as no explosives of any kind
were used. The safe was simply un-
locked and the contents taken. Four
dollars worth Of the stamps were
found yesterday morning on the New
ton & Northwestern tracks near the
stock yards.
The safe is good one, but is not
provided with time lock. 1t is be-
,lieved that it must have been opened
by an expert, as none other could
manipulate the combination.
Postmaster Johnston Immediately
advised the authorities at Washington
and it is expected that detectives will
soon be on the ground. The work was
smoothly done, and at this time there
is absolutely no clue on which to base
q suspicion.

Webster City, Dec. 10. - County
Treasurer Brandrup is in r.ceipt of a
very peculiar letter. In the course of
IDS term of office count! treasurer
gets thousands of letters, but the let
ter just received by Mr.. Hrandrup is
probably the only one Of its kind he
will receive during his int:umbency-
illtho that painstaking official enter
tains hopes that he may receive many
others just like it. 1t is written by a
man who has religion-re al religion.
The letter In full is as follows:
"Chicago, Ill.-KedZie ave aue. Ham

he a resident of Webster City, Iowa,
;tnd in the year 1896 l haG about one

T 1t is needless to state that Mr..
Bradrup got down his ret ords, added
up the taxes, figured the interest and
mailed the gentleman copy OF the
statement. The taxes figured over $lS

Commend the honesty of the man In a
letter written with the statement. Mr..
Bradrup states that If there are any

Iowa City, Dec. 13.-The recent
freshman banquet passed off so quietly
and with so little trouble that the peo-
pie of Iowa City were disposed TO
think that another era had indeed
dawned. But it now appears that the
sainted freshies did something Whlcn
showed that all the barbarism had not
passed out Of their systems. Ihey
stole the spoons from the Grand hotel
in Cedar Rapids. At least, that Is the
claim made by couple of private off,
GERS who came down Saturday to see
about it.
How many were taken Is not known,
nor the value Of the loss. 1t is sup
posed. however, that a number Of the
BOYS slipped spoons into their pockets
as memorials Of the occasion. If
enough did this, the loss would be one
not to be laughed at. What the officers
did here is not known, but 1t seems
certain that something will be done to
recover the property. II the guilty
parties do not make up the loss, IT
will probably be incumbent on the
class to do SO. The majority of those
who went were guiltless and are not
disposed to pay for the sins of others,
especially when it takes the form Of
downright theft, be it ever so small.
Now that it is known that the hotel
people mean to push the matter, the
young men who took them will have to
toe the mark, for it is reported that at
least some of them are known. 1t
would seem that it must have been
confined to a few people. as practically
nothing was heard of the matter until
the visit Of the officers.
