by a galvanized iron water pail, a
quarter full of the liquid. The assail-
ant seized the pail by the handle and
swinging it above his head, brought the
bottom edge down with crushing force
on the head of Foster. The skull was
shattered, and for five days he lay be-
tween life and death. Surgeons, who
removed piece of bone three inches
long and one inch wide, with five other
splinters of bone, from the brain, de-
clared that the patient could not pos
sibly survive the injury. In removing
the broken bones. which had been
driven down into the brain, about two
spoonsful of the mans brain was re-
moved.
After five days of Inconsistencies,
Foster again regained his senses. The
right side of his face, the side oppo-
site that which had received the blow,
was paralyzed and the patient was
speechless. Physicians We're surprised
that he ever regalned his consciousness
AS the weeks passed, they were still
more surprised when his speech re-
turned. and his face assumed it's nor
NAL condition. From then his improve
ment was rapid and the man is al
most entirely over the effects of the
blow, with the exception of an imped-
iraent in his speech at times, which ne
believes will disappear in time. The
skull is still open, however. and the
wound gives him much pain.

scoLLARD's SHORTAGE $1,000.
Further Developments in Abscondins
AGENTS Case.

AGENTS Case.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Oct. 6.-It was learned
today that Glen Scollard, the default
ing ticket clerk Of the Milwaukee and
ST. Paul Railroad Company, is $1,000
short in his accounts, instead of 1854,
as at first reported.
j. d. Wallace, travelling auditor of
the company, arrived from Chicago to-
day and began a careful examination
of the ticket stock and the books kept
by the ticket clerk. He could give out
nothing official in regard to Scollard's
shortage, as it will take some time to
check over all the tickets.
The information that Scotland was
$1,000 short leaked out thru fellow
craftsman of the ticket clerk, to whom
he appealed early in September for a
loan of money, enough to make up his
shortage. This craftsman is supposed
to be the person whose note Scotland
claimed he indorsed.
In drop letter to his friend, mailed
in Sioux City some time yesterday, the
dafaulting ticket clerk says:
when they go over my books they
will find me Just $1,000 short, no more
and no less. This is the amount for
which my bond is good and the bond
ing company will make it up, then hunt
me down, l suppose. But they don't
know what have gone thru with
But perhaps I will be able to make up
my shortage; if not, will be resigned
to the fate which awaits those who
take freely of mcn-y which does not
belong to them"
The examination by Auditor Wallace
will show Scollards method of taking
money for tickets which he sold, and
which did not appear in his reports.
