CONFLICT AvERTED.
cttumwa Automobile Driver and kome
Farmer Exchange Words

A Mt. Pleasant paper has the fol-
lowing concerning a conflict of words
between an Ottunwa automobile driv-
err and a Rome farmer:
George Moore who lives on the Rome
road near Rome, had an encounter
with an automobile the other day
which displeased him. He came to
this city soon afterwards and threat
ened to have the driver of the auto
mobile arrested. The man driving the
automobile was a Mr.. Davies, of Of
tumwa, who had been exhibiting the
machine here this week. He was GO
ing toward Ottumwa as Mr.. Moore
was driving out of his gate Mr..
Moore claims he raised his hand to
signal the driver to stop his speed,
but that Mr.. Davies did not do so un-
til almost opposite the prancing ami
NAL which Mr.. Moore was trying to
control. Mr.. Moore used some un-
complimentary language and Mr.. Da-
vies drew revolver. Mr. Davies.
however, claimed that Mr.. Moore had
come at him with neckyoke, and thar
he drew his revolver in self defence.
There was some talk of carrying the
matter further and causing the arrest
of the chauffeur, but so far nothing has
been done, and the matter will per-
haps be allowed to rest.

with it's comparison challenging novel
ties, the white Chief of the Paw
nees," as Major Gordon w. Lille is
called, will make his bow at the head
of his immense convocation of the
worlds horsemen From the grand
review at the beginning, wherein are
introduced all the varied types and
races which go to make up the. cos
mopolitan aggregation. down to the

Bloomfield, Aug. "A business
meeting of the Chautauqua stock
soldiers was held Friday night and it
was decided that the deficit on the
expenses Of the assembly of a few
weeks ago which amounted to $400,
should be paid by the stockholders as
the dividend amounted to only small
sum per member. The vote on the
question of holding Chautauqua next
season was unanimous in favor Of the
plan and the time was assigned for
the middle of August, or as near that
date as entertainers can be engaged.
The first Chautauqua assembly made
a decided hit in the city and met with
general approval, in fact as has been
said. The people were no. luke warm

DROWNED IN RIVER
ALBERT TRlees, A CARPENTER
OF SOUTH oTTUMWA, LOSES
LIFE WHILE FISHING.
Boat Upset Early Sunday Morning
With Martin Neff, Charles Stewart
and Trigss-Body Was Recovered
Sunday Afternoon.


After floating down the Des Moines
river for nearly mile, part Of the
time clinging to an overturned boat
and then to one of the oars, Albert
Triggs, a carpenter, residing at 3O2
Church street, in South Ottumwa, was
drowned carly Sunday morning. The
body was recovered Sunday afternoon
near the Vine street bridge and taken
to the undertaking parlors of G. T.
Sullivan, on West Second street.
Albert Triggs, with Martin Neff and
Charles Stewart, went on the river in
row boat about IL o'clock Saturday
night for the purpose of running a
trot line, near the foot of Myrtle
street. They had run the line and
started for the shore when Triggs
said that he would row the boat. He
started to change seats with Mr.. Neff
when he slipped and fell into the
river, overturning the boat. Neff
succeeded in swimming to shore but
Triggs and Stewart held on to the
boat and drifted down the river.
Struck Market Street Bridge.
At the Market street bridge the
boat struck one of the piers and both
of the men lost their hold but caught
one of the oars. Just below the Mar
ket street bridge the two men found a
place where the water was not so
deep and stood for several minutes
crying for help. They started out to
swim for the shore but were handi-
capped by their heavy clothing and
shoes. Mr.. Stewart reached the shore
just above the Wabash railroad bridge
but was too exhausted to go to the
aid of his companion who was then be-
low the bridge and still crying for
help. BY this time he had attracted
the attention of men on the shore but
was drowned before they could reach
him.
Body Recovered.

Woodmen of America Of which Mr..
Triggs was a member, offered re-
ward of $50 for the recovery of the
body and $25 was offered by James

200 feet above the Vine street bridge
and $50 feet from the shore. The re.
mains we're taken to the undertaking
parlors where an inquest was conduct
ed today under the direction of Cor
oner F. W. Mills.
