Another PitchfOrk Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon while two
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Rhempage, residing on the Joe Keiser
farm, in Cherry Valley, several miles
east of Postville, were playing on a
partially built hay stack, the younger
of them met with a sorry but fortu-
nately not serious accident. A gust
of wind blew the hat from the head
of the ten year-old lad to the ground,
and quick as scat he slid down after
it. Picking it up he started to climb
back upon the stack, while the older
boy still ON top concluded to come
down, and taking the pitchfork in his
hands stabbed it forcibly into the side
of the stack for a foothold And as
he did so the fork struck the little
fellow below in the face, one tine
piercing the right cheek we'll to the
front, passing diagonally between the
upper and lower teeth and coming
out through the neck on the left side
little back of the lower jaw bone.
DR.. Clasen was quickly called and
dressed the wounds, the little fellow
is coming on finely, thanks to the fact
that the wounds were made by clean
instrument, thus allaying danger from
blood poisoning. -Postville Review.

Overcome hy the Heal.

Monday, as Larry Mccormick was
at work in the field ON the Thos
Gallagher farm in French Greek town
ship, he discovered something wrong
with the machine he was driving and
went to the barn where he commenced
to unhitch the team but was taken
sick and was conveyed by Mr.. Gala
CHER and his son to nearby shed where
he expired short time afterward,
never recovering from the unconscious
condition into which he passed when
first taken sick. Overheating was
given as the cause of his death. =

County Mutual Wins.

Attorney M. E. Geiser last week
received advice from the Supreme
Court that the case of Krell VS.. the
Chickasaw County Mutual Insurance
Association had been decided in favor
of the society, reversing the decision
of Judge Fellows in the trial of the
case at Cresco. 1t will be remembered
that Krell lost his barn couple of
years ago, and the association refused
to pay the loss because he had feed
cooker in his barn. Krell sued the
Society in the Howard county District
court and won. The decision to the
Supreme Court is that the Judge erred
in taking the case from the jury and
new trial is thus ordered in the
Howard county court. New Hampton

More than he Could Chew.

Waterloo had one fatality resulting
from the celebration of the Fourth.
A big bull dog named "Corbet" ac-
companied the family of his owner on
picnic to Elk Run. Members of the
family were exploding firecrackers
and the dog would run after the
fragments and return them. A giant
cracker was lighted and thrown into
the creek. The dog leaped after it and
sliced it in his mouth. Then some
thing like what happened to Casa.
blanca occurred-there came burst
of thunder sound, the dog, oh, where
was he? Only the blood, hair and
fragments of flesh that strewed the
waters of the creek answered. His
head had been literally blown off. =

Young Men Go Wrong.

One of the saddest duties that comes
to the local newspaper is to be COM
PEELED to chronicle events which tell
of the wrong doing of young people Of
either sex; and this is especially true
where the parents are Woodworking,
respectable people. In no event of re-.
cent years is this more true than in
the cases of the three young men ar
rested last week for breaking and en-.
tering the Carter Manly store on the
night of July third. Brief mention
was made of this last week, but no
names were mentioned, as the boys
were only under surveillance and no
proof was at hand against them. Since
that time City Marshal Colburn has
done some good work, the culprits
have been apprehended and have con-
fessed. On Monday they had their
preliminary examination before Squire
VanAtten. Clyde Miner waived ex-
animation and was held to the next
grand jury, his father and uncle fur
nishing bond of $500. Carl Ferring.
ton took a continuance for week and
was sent back to Jail in default of 5000
bail. Harry Steele was discharged,
there being no evidence against him,
his offense being, like poor dog Trays,
that he was caught in bad company.
The offense for which these young
men are held is a very serious one, the
statute providing penalty of not
more than ten years in the peniten-
tiary, or fine not exceeding 800
and Imprisonment in the county Jail
not exceeding one year. West Union

Thieves at Independence.

An unknown thief broke into the
ticket Office at the Illinois Central
station Wednesday morning about
eleven o'clock while the operator Sam
Braden, was at the baggage room,
attending to some matters Of business.
The money drawer was broken open,
$50. 50 in money and check from
John German for $l9S were stolen.
When Mr.. Braden returned to the
Office he saw stranger leisurely walk
away in the distance, and as he was
soon out Of sight, no further clue to
the culprit could be discovered. The
officers were quickly notified of the
loss, but thus far the thief has not
been apprehended. Payment on the
German check was stopped, so the loss
is confined to the cash stolen. indie

Budde followed suit with fourteen
grain beauty Next in line came
Joseph Bowen with pink turtle back
weighing twenty six grains and lastly
a man by the name of Gallagher open
ed bivalve to find lustrous pearl
of one hundred and thirty-t three grains
and said by experts to be the finest
ever brought to light from the Miss
issippi. The Ellsworth pearl brought
$500. 90 and the Budde $500. 90 and
both were purchased by pearl buyer
Mr.. Young, of Broadhead, Wis. The
