The gang of Italians, of which An
toniello was one, was engaged in con-
etruction work near Searsboro when
Nicola in charge of the construction
train ordered the gang to get a ear
out of the way. It appears that they
did not act with sufficient prompt
ness to suit Nicola, who declared that
he would bunt the car off the track
unless the gang showed more speed.
according to the story told by SEVERN
persons present at the time. 1t Is
claimed that in consequence of some
words that passed between Nicola and
the foreman Of the gang, Nicola made
some sort of movement as il to strike
the former and jumping from the track
near Antoniello. and the latter hit him
over the head with shovel. Just
how badly Nicola is hurt is not known
but 1t is feared his skull was frac-s
tured.

Rockwell. June 4.--The prospectiNe
political scrap in Cerro Gordo county
between the adherents of Governor
Cummins. under the leadership OF hon.
Thomas A. Way. and the advocates OF
standpatism, under the banner on
Hon. James Il. Blythe. has apparently
been settled. and settled by the uncon-
ditional surrender of the Blythe forces.
The prospective contest started TWO
weeks ago, when County Clerk George
W. Rowland was sprung by the way
forces as a candidate for Fourth dis
trict committeeman. The P'ythe fol-
lowers protested against Mr. Rowland
and threatened to defeat him for re-
nomination for clerk OF the courts, put
his nerve remained good. and the
standpatters evidently deemed discre-
ton the better part of Nalor, as the

son City organs OF Jim" Blythe, came
out simultaneously. last night, with UNI
qualified Endorsement of Rowland Tor
denomination for clerk, and for COM
nitteeman also. Mr.. Way has had
charge of Mr.. Howland's campaign ana
the outcome is a credit to his political
generalship. Politicians generally adj
nit today that the leadership In Cerro
Gordo county has passed away from
Jim" Blythe and now rests with Tom

Mr.. Rowland is a prominent local
politician and has been identified with
