places, his leg was bro en- and he sus-
tanned other serious injuries. 1t is
believed he will recover.
Harry Egan, a ~14-year-old boy, liv-
ing at Monticello, died as a result of
an injury received while bathing. He
and his companions were diving
from the railroad bridge north OF
town ct a height of about fifteen
feet. Egan leaped too far and struck
his head in the sand, breaking his
neck. He ~regained consciousness and
lived for twenty-four hours.
While the Iowa Contra east bound
local was switching in the yards at
Hedrick, Conductor Little of Keiths-
burg received some very painful in
juries. 1t seems that Mr.. Little was
sitting in the lookout in the way a
when the engine came to couple to
the train, striking it with tremendous
force, which threw him to the floor
of the car, breaking three ribs and
fracturing his left shoulder.
John Grove, a brother of PA
Grove, is in trouble with the police
for selling beer at another place than
the one where he was licensed to do
so. Grove owns a saloon in the west
end of Council Bluffs and also has a
grocery store closer to the main sec
ton. He conceived the idea that the
saloon was too far for his patrons to
walk 10 on a hot day, and so he took
half~a dozen kegs to the store, where
he served it in the usual way. His
arrest followed and the liquor was
confscated.
John Robinson, an aged resident OF
Reinbeck, was struck down by a run
away team, receiving injuries from
which he died shortly afterward. Mr..
Robinson was standing in front of a
store building on Main street when
the frantic team dashed straight to-
ward him. The victim being partially
blind was unable to see the horses
and so before he could avoid the ac-
cident he was run down, sustaining a
fracture of the skull and other injur-
les. He died within two hours after
ward.
An Iowa farmer, aged A, good
home, temperate, desires wife, aged
25 to 80. Address Grin Scott, Hotel
Murray, Omaha, Nebraska" This
title appeal inserted in an Omaha
newspaper drew a swarm of women
of all ages and descriptions to the
Murray hotel in the two days follow
ing it's appearance. Letters arrived
from the country by the score. With
so many to choose from, Mr.. Scott
was in no hurry to decide, but on
the third day a p~repossessing young
woman, evidently of Scandinavian
origin, coyly asked the clerk to direct
her to Mr.. Scott. After a brief in
terview in tie hotel parlors. she left
with smiling countenance that spoke
palmer than words. She called again
the next morning and they were mar
ried a few hours later at Lincoln.
Scott registered from Sioux City.
Efforts made to fix the responsible
ity for the wreck of the Rocky Noun
tain limited at Downey reveal a
rather haZy condition as to its exact
ca.sa, but it is evident that the ex-
element Of the freight brakeman who
tried to throw the switch for the pas
senger had something to do with it.
He SAYS that when he tried to close
the switch it stuck and he could not
move it. Then he ran down the track
and tried TO flag the passenger, but IL
was too late. and the heavy train was
still going forty miles an hour when
it hit the switch. The front wheels
took the siding all right, but the back
drivers jumped and started to go on
down the main track. Frank Higgins
and G.. d. Morse, the injured fireman
and brakeman, were taken to Rock
Island and will suffer no permanent
i'll from the wreck. No II else was
injured aside from a few slight cuts
and bruises incidental to the shaking
up.

Council Bluffs last March, involving
the legality of medicinal, or internal
treatment as a substitute for the old
style arm method, will not be heard
until next September. Last April
Judge w. r. Green directed the board
of health to admit children having
certificates of vaccination from any
physician. without respect to the kind
of treatment. and set the case for trial
during the June term. The intention
was to have it out of the way before
the next school year opens, but the
attorneys have not been ready to take
it up. The suit was originally be-
tween the health board and the school
board, but after a decision adverse TO
the latter body was rendered it &C,
quiesced. Some of the patrons and
homeopathic physicians, who admin,
lister internal vaccination. then step,
ped in as ~intervenors and asked to
have the health board restrained from
enforcing it's order to require arm
treatment. The issue is now between
them and the health board. Some OF
the leading people of the city, among
them Congressman Walter /. Smith
are d%issenters from the vaccination
order.
