KILLS ONLY SON
FOR HIGRWAYMAN
Boy Planned to Play IOke on
Father, Whose Life Had
Been Threatened.

Riverside, y. j., June l3.-Alistak-
ing his 10 year old son for high
wayman, Walter Reinick last night
drew an open pen knife from his
pocket and plunged it into the boy +
heart killing him instantly.
Reinick who is "A prosperous insur.
ance man, and well known in this
place, lives in pretty cottage In a
lonely neighborhood in the eastern
portion of the town. The neighbor.
hood has been annoyed by bad ne
groes, some OF whom had ior some
reason made threats against Rein.
ick's life.
Last uight Reinick attended a
a meeting at the fire house, and start
ed for home about 1890. As he
neared the lonely part Of the town
he thought OF the threats that had
been made against him, and while
hardly fearing an attack, prepared
the only weapon which he had. He
opened the largest blade Of his pen
knife and held it ciinched in his peck
ct as he went along
Suddenly from bush along the
road voice shouted, Now, I've got
you"
At the same time dimly seen form
sprang at him. There was not even
a struggle, The body sank to the
ground and life was extinct almost
Immediately. -
Reinick bent over TO see who his
assailant was, and discovered it was
his own son Frank. The boy had
planned to play Joke on his father
and met his death. So shocked was
the father by his discovery that he
has since lain half demented and can
not talk coherenty Of the tragic ac.
cident.
The boy was an only child.
Coroner Wells visited the house
this morning and made an examina-
ton. Squire Zeigler wrote to Prose-
cutor Samuel A. Atkinson at Mount
Holly, and is expecting orders as to
how to proceed,
Reinick has not been placed under
arrest, nor will he be unless the pros
ecutor demands it. There is no fear
felt that he will attempt to escape,
and the only danger Is that in his
demented condition he will infict
some injury upon himself.

WRECK IN IOWA
Illinois Central Passenger Train Meets
With Serious Accident Near Waterloo
None Killed, But Escape Was Mir

Waterloo, Sept. 5.--A day coach,
heavily laden with passengers, east
bound, attached to train No. 2, on the
Illinois Central, was struck by a Great
Western freight locomotive at ESQ
Sunday morning, and precipitated
down steep embankment to the riv-
ers edge, at the grade crossings of
these railroads, short distance from
the Illinois Central station.
Although the locomotive and coach
were partially destroyed, every occu-
pant of the car escaped without a
scratch, it being one Of the most for
tunate collisions ever recorded. The
pilot of the locomotive struck the for
ward part of the day coach, which was
directly in the rear of the second
sleeper. The car was pushed off the
forward trucks and slid around as If
on a pivot, until it formed an angle of
As degrees with the remainder of the
train. The passenger train was stopped
with all possible haste, and trainmen
rushed to the day coach, expecting, to
find many killed and wounded. A
hasty glance revealed the passengers
calmly sitting in their seats, many Of
them unaware of anything out Of the
o,e inary.
Engineer Bell, in charge of the
freight, stated that he endeavored to
bring his train to a stop, but owing TO
wet rails, and the immense weight of
the train, the engine was slid along in
snite of emergency appliances.
Wrecking\ crews were hurried to the
scene. but traffic was hindered for sew
eral hours. Illinois Central trains were
run thru THE freight yards to the
passenger station and the Great West
ern detourea its passenger trains
Numbers i and s by way of Cedar
Falls. Freight trains were held here
until the wreskage was cleared.

positors in the settlement Of the bank

McHose and w. w. Tyler.
The conservative element among the
depositors controlled the meeting, and
1t is thought that any suit will be
brought by them against the directors
for negligence in examining the bank.
There is much ground for hope that
depostors will not lose any great
amount This hope is based on the
following limited figures: Deposits.
1851, 900; good notes, 100000; cash,
$4,000; Spencer property, 100000;
stockholders assessments, $4,000; to-
tai assets, $4,000. This leaves diff
ference Of 100000 between the amount
due the depositors and the assets of
