"A very sad accident, resulting
in the death Of Elias Deyo, happened
at Oneida last Saturday afternoon
The deceased was a Chicago Great
Western brakeman, whose home was
at Oelwein. The train on which he
was employed stopped at Oneida t
set out a car, and the deceased gol
off to- assist in the switching and
coupling. No one seems to know
Just how the accident happened, but
from the nature Of the injuries the
deceased must have:got caught be
tween two cars where he was in
stantly crushed to death. His body
was cut nearly half in two. Mr.
Devo was d married man and is sur
vised by wife and two children.
For the week ending Sept. &c
the crop conditions are about as fol
lows: The past week brought
continuance Of intermittent tempera
tura characteristics of this season, tn
average being nearly normal. TIL
frost line was reached on the morn
ing Of the 2lst, but clouds and vapo
prevented damage to immatur
crops. In a limited area consider
able injury resulted from heav
wind and hail on the evening Of th
10th. Reports show more tina
usual variableness in the condition
Of the corn crop; but for the state a
large it appears that about three
fourths Of the entire area planted
now practically safe. With q wee
Of warm and dry weather the hui
Of the very late or immature porto
Of the crop may be fairly we'll ma
uyed; but OF best there is likely
Be somewhat more than the usu
4 percentage of corn failing to reac
full maturity. Conditions have bee
favorable for field work; good pr
gresa has been made in blowing, an
harvesting vegetables and fruit. :
