fractured some of the bones of his
nose. He is attending to his duties in
the postoffice this week but shows
plainly that he has come in conflict
with a moving body. There is no prob
ability that any Disagreement will re-
suit from the accident.

DEATH OF MRS. sAuLTz.

Dies Following Operation.

Montezuma Sept S.--Mrs. Rosa
Shultz. wife of j. F. Shultz. died last
night at their home in the north part
of town. Mrs. Shultz has been IN
poor health for some time and failed
gradually in spite Of the best medical
aid that could be procured. Last Nor
day an operation was performed on

this would bring her relief, but she

to stand the added strain. The local
Rebekah lodge, of which she had been
working member, will have charge
of the funeral.
Mrs. Thomas Hicks is very low with

little hope of recovery.

Man Is Frustrated After the Guilty
Pair Had Purchased Tickets to Chi

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. S.-iWith their
tickets purchased, and their baggage
all checked, Mrs. Mary Lane, the 81
year-old wife of William Lane, and
John Smith, a laborer, "a years of age,
were arrested at the depot last night
at $3.50 o'clock on warrants issued by
Justice Sloan on charge Of lewdness
They are now locked up in the police
station, pending arraignment in the
justice court
The home life Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lane
has been happy one and there has
never been any semblance of trouble
between husband and wife. Smith is
laboring man, who has been In the
employ of Lane during the summer,
and who has been about the Lane home
more or less during the time. 1t seems
that he improved his time with evil
intent, and finally persuaded the wo-
man to believe that sheloved him bet
ter than she loved her own husband.
At any rae she had decided to leave
her home and fly with the other. and
the intervention of the police was all
that prevented the contamination of
their plans.
1T is possible that peaceable adj
1justment Of the matter will be reach
ed, that the woman will return to her
home, and the proceedings in justice
court dropped.
