LOSES HIS EYEsIeHT.
Former Salem Man Meets With Dis

tressing and Unusual Accident.
Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 19.-C. V. Arnold,
cashier of the Henry County Savings
bank received the news this
morning Of a most painful
accident which had happened to his
brother, Pizzarro Arnold at his home
at Cameron, Mo-, resulting in the loss
of one eye and the possible affection
of the other.
The accident happened on the morn
ing Of January Is, and was as unusual
as itw as distressing. MI. Arnold had
gone to the barn to water the family
pet, a kindly Jersey COW. AS he was
busy beside her she tossed her head.
and the point of one of her horns struck
him in the left eye, injuring the ball and
slightly wounding the lids. He feared
for the worst and the physicians, who
were hastily summoned could only
state that sight was gone forever from
that eye. Steps were at once taken to
keep the other eye from becoming in
fected.
MI. Arnold for many years lived in
Salem, where he still has many rela-
tives. He moved to Missouri about
ten years ago and where he is COM
fortably situated. He visited here a
short time ago. He has many friends,
who will greatly regret to learn Of his
serious accident.

Sioux City, Jan. 19.-Sioux City
finds herself unable to sell bonds In
order to make improvements, absolute

proposed that the city give the million

citizens, who will borrow the required
amount of money, make the improve
ments and return the plant to the city
at some future time. The proposition
anticipates the payment of a nominal
sum by the committee and a trust in
their honor to return the plant, az no
contract of this kind can be entered
into. 1t is an extraordinary proposi-
ton, but 1t is claimed that the situa-
ton is an extraordinary one. The sug-
gestion meets with much favor and it
may be acted upon.
