The Fourth just past will probably
go down in local history as one Of the
Quietest In the annals of the town. The
streets were deserted, and the usual
roar Of celebration was unheard. But
few fireworks were set off, and so far
as known the accident list Is almost
blank. Many visited the celebrations
in the towns of the county. and other
places near by. while still others spent
the day picnicking along the banks Of
the river.
At the Country Club.
The Country Club grounds and club
house were the scenes of q gay throng
all day and far into the night. The
members focked to the grounds and
spent the day picnicking and enjoying
the sports afforded. The golf tourna-
Inent was almost completed, with but a
few of the finals to still play off. A
game of ball between the ladies and fat
men was played. resulting in the for
mer winning. Fireworks and dancing
served to pass away the evening.
At the Gun Club.
The Marshalltown Gun Clubs
grounds was the scene of another en-
ioyahle time on the Fourth. Invita-
lions We're issued to members and
friends of the club, for a six-event
shoot and picnic. Picnic dinner was
served and the crowd remained all
day. Many ladies were in attendance.

serious. He grew rapidly worse. and
complications, caused by former at
lacks OF Brights disease and diabetes,
together with heart disease. fastened
the end OF his intense suffering.
During the past few years his health

BLACKSTORTURECHILD
Clarence Mann, Two Years Of Age,
Found BY It's Mother Unconscious
and Bleeding From Many Wounds at
the Home of Madison Brooks-Ar-
rests May Follow.

! Either criminal cruelty or childish
unintentional torture can alone ac-
count for the condition OF Clarence
Mann, the 2-year-old son of Mr.. ans
Mrs. Eugene Mann, 70sls South Center
street, who was found by his mother
unconscious and bleeding from more
than score Of wounds at the home
of Madison Brooks colored, TIA South
Center Sunday evening. For while
it was thought the child could not live,
but now it is believed 1t will recover.
Mrs. Mann. who missed her baby
about o'clock, suspected that it might
be at the Brooks home. She found
the infant lying on the floor uncon-
scious from wounds about the head and
body, out Of which the blood stream
ed, covering 1t face and clothed it's little
dress. Water had been poured on 1t,
but when it revived it was so delirious
it did not recognize it's mother. A ply
sician was called and the little fellow
was found to be completely covered
with cuts scratches and bruises. A
deep cash laid open the right temple,
both ears were black and blue, and the
side of the head scratched. Upon the
back and hips, the white skin showed,
in more than a dozen places, where the
tines of table fork had been forced
into the soft flesh.
Mrs. Mann, when seen, said she first
went to the Brooks house, but found
the door locked and could not get in.
She went again in few minutes and
Mrs. Brooks admitted her, but told her
she knew nothing of the child's hurts,
as she had been asleep. The baby had
been drenched with water, and Mrs.
Brooks said she supposed 1t had been
playing with her three children, the
Oldest being about years of age. She
denied all knowledge of how the boy
was hurt, and 1T is presumed 1t was
either wilful on the part of the Brooks
children, or was unintentional in their
play, but the latter theory is shaky,
owing to the number of wounds. The
child evidently had suffered until un-
consciousness stilled it's nerves, as it
was found by the mother.
Madison Brooks the head of the
family, when seen Monday by a re-
porter, denied all knowledge of the
affair, and said the child had not been
to his house, altho he said he was not
at home ut the time. He added: They
ought to know enough to keep their
kid at home" Mr.. Mann is investigat-
Ing, and criminal action may follow.
