CAR CRUSHED LIKE A SHELL
Accident at Dewar Results in Some
Damage to Rolling Stock.


Special to Times Republican.
Dewar, Sept. GA very peculiar
accident to southbound freight oc-
Cured at this place about o'clock
this morning when an empty car In the
middle of a train which was heavily
loaded at both ends was crushed like
an egg shell by the sudden application
of the emergency brakes to avert a COL
lision with some freight cars which had
been unexpectedly set out on the sid
ing. AT an earlier hour heavily loaded
freight was drawn by q locomotive
which met with an accident in that
a. cylinder head had been blown out.
In order to tighten the load several
cars We're switched onto a siding and
when the later train endeavored to
take position on the siding to per-
NIT another train to pass, the engi-
neer saw the cars in time to avert the
disaster of a head-on collision by i'm
mediately applying the emergency
brakes. The sudden stop centralized
the force in the position occupied by
the empty freight car which collapsed
completely unable to sustain the weight
which resided in the rear portion of
the train. No one was hurt and the
track was cleared in time to prevent
the blocllading of any subsequent
trains.

Special to Ttmes-Republican.
Iowa City, Sept. 27.-The football
team of the state university is in much
better shape for the game with Angus
tana this afternoon than she was for
the Coe game of last Saturday, despite
the fact that but one practice has in
tervened between the two games. The
secret of the added strength is in the
appearance in Iowa uniform yesterday
of two new men. The best known of
these is Streif, who has played right
half on the state normal team for three
years, and who graduated from that
institution last spring. He was placed
in left end last night by Coach Chal-
mers, and demonstrated superior abil-
ity.
The other man was lockwood, a
southerner, weighing 1877. who was
placed at left guard, the place made
vacant by the Maving Of Donovan fer
Wisconsin this fall While not sutfi-
GENTLY familiar with Chalmers style
of play to show his real strength, he
nevertheless demonstrated that he was
a find of no uncertain value.

thorities stated that they believed
