HIS LEG is BADLY FRACTURED
While Trying to Avoid Automobile at
Corner of Main and Ninth Streets,
Roseneren, Who Was on Bicycle,
Was Struck and Hurled to the Pave
ment-Injury Serious.

Another automobile accident which
might easily have cost a life. occurred
at Main and Ninth streets Saturday
night about II o'clock, when Oscar
Rosengren, 404 Arson street, while rid
ing a bicycle got in the way of the
big touring car driven by Fred f.
Michaels. and was hurled to the pave
ment and seriously injured. Rosen-
gren sustained compound commin-
uted fracture Of both bones of left leg
below the Knee, and was bruised about
the body. The nature of the fractures
makes the injury Very serious but
otherwise he is. not badly hurt.
Michaels. with party of young men,
was going west on Main street, while
Rosengren was approaching from the
west on the same street The driver of
the car turned south on Ninth, just
as Rosengren approached the crossing.
The bicyclist started to turn south on
Ninth also, but evidently changing MS
mind, swerved again toward Main
street, with the evident purpose of
swinging around ahead of the car.
While doing so the car struck him,
hurting him a distance of twenty feet.
The car was stopped and backed to
the spot. The injured man was picked
up and removed to the Skegg home
where physician was summoned. He
was later taken to the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. 6. A. Rosen-
gren, where he is resting as easily as
could be expected today.
Rosengren is said to have told those
who live near where the accident hap
pened, and who were attracted to the
spot by the crash and the injured
mans groans, that he did not see the
approaching automobile and that his
coaster brake slipped, else he would
have cleared the car when he at
tempted to swing around it. He was
not inclined to blame the auto driver
Michaels, the owner and driver of
the car, said when he approached
Ninth street he slowed UP for the turn,
and was not running to exceed seven
miles an hour, when, he struck Rosen-
STen. lie Sd w LIE HleiH vi lAAS 'DiSS ~
approaching, and when he turned his
bicycle south on Ninth street he sup
posed he was going to continue going
in that direction. After he t,rned
across in front of the automobile he
had no time to bring the car to a
stop, before he struck him.
Michaels also said he footed his horn
on approaching the street crossing. but
Rosengren was riding with his head
down and was coming swiftly. He
apparently did not see the automobile
approaching.
The bicycle Rosengren was riding
was demolished. The injured man is
% years of age and is an employe of
the Marshalltown Buggy Company.

WANT PICNIC AGAIN
Iowa Central Employees in all the
Departments Petition Officials to Al
low One Day When tho Workmen
Can Have an Outing.

Petitions addressed to Superintend-
ent C. S. Hayden, of the Iowa Central,
are being circulated in all departments
of the local shops and operating de-
partment, asking that Mr.. Hayden use
his influence with the officials to have
day set aside this year when the shop
employees and all others working for
the company here may go on a picnic.
The petitions are being widely signed.
and when they have been thoroughly
circulated they will be presented to Mr.
Hayden. Each year, prior to few
years ago, the shops and as many Of
the trains as possible stood still for
one day while the employees went to
some point on the line for a picnic.
The picnics were attended by hundreds.
The last one was held at Union about
four years ago.

FAvoRs BRICK PAVING,
South Third Avenue Resident Sug
uests Way to Secure It.

aN
DR.. f. H. Boucher, of South Third
avenue, in the following communities
ton to the Times Republican, suggests
the substitution of brick for asphalt
paving on the street on which he lives,
and outlines the way he thinks it might
be secured. DR.. Boucher writes: "If
it is fact that the Barber people in
tend to relay the South Third avenue
pavement. thereby making practically
new job of it, why cannot the city
authorities induce them to repave with
brick instead of asphalt?
ut is my opinion, based on consul
tations with several property owners,
that large majority of those who are
now paying for the faulty asphalt
would much prefer the brick pavine
even at the present asphalt
prices, and, inasmuch as brick
can be laid at less cost
to the paving company. there
would probably be no objection on
their part to the change. 1 would sug-
gest to the mayor that a petition, to
this effect be placed on file at the city
clerks office, or otherwise circulated.
for the signatures of all parties inter-
ested."

Clinton. July 23.-The worst storm
of the season caught big bunch of
fans. who braved threatening weather
to see the second Marshalltown- Clinton
game, yesterday, and everybody was
| drenched to the skin. Dick and Liz
cite. and Peterson and Janlison We're
| the batteries. The first inning gave
two runs to Marshalltown, and one
man was down in the second inning
when the downpour came. The game
opened in slight shower, that kept up
until wind, rain and hail caused the
game to be called.
Clinton won the first Iowa League
ball game played on the home grounds
Saturday, on the merits of team work.
John Girsch running in the winning
score in the eighth inning. The boys
got down to business with ne jockey
ing at the start, proving that the
Franco-Cerman alliance secured by
Marshalltown from the Bunnies was
not able to dictate the score. Contested
to tight finish, the game belonged to
Clinton, to 6, just close enough for
every big hearted fan who came, to
give glad hand to the boys in gray.
The game opened with a swa.-fest,
Els, secured from the Moline indepen-
sacrifice by Williams before the locals
got connections. There they called the
Brownies and standing pat, drew from
Luke duplicate score Fleming reach
ed first on Williams muff of q fly,
Pennington sacrificed, and Jamison flew
out deep to right. Lally. Owens and
Pagan singled before Flake went down
on an assist from Luke.
Radebaugh and Lizette took the
points in the second to no bettern.ent
of the score for they could not hold
down the bunch of rejuvenated
leaguers. Girsch took long fly for
his and Els picked hit of the first
one from the box. Fleming sent a
hot liner down center and Pennington
found one Of the same kind. Rade-
baugh had weakened and lost control
and sent wide one to Lizette, who, to
catch the runner was equally wild and
on hits and errors three more TALES
were chalked up.
There was nothing much doing then
until the fifth, when Els melted be-
fore the hot work Of Marshalltown.
Harris landed his against the right
field fence, and was good for three
bases. Williams planted the next in
the same place, but the ball struck a
2.>i fence support, ricocheted over the
fence and was good for homer.
johnson took the rubber in the sixth,
and demonstrated his skill, allowing
the Brownies just a glimpse at the
sacks, and then nothing more for the
rest Of the game; not one hit on his
delivery. In the seventh there was a
hopeful outlook for Clinton, sacks filled
up, but Flake couldn't get what he
wanted, and famed A hollow groah
went up from the grand stand and the
blue bleachers and they waited for the
eighth and John Girsch. He didn't
disappoint them, but slammed out a
double SO close to the top of the fence
that 1t proved come back. and he had
to sprint to get his bag. Johnson adj
vanced him on sacrifice, and Fleming
pounded out a clear three sacker,
while Johnson fled for home. The score

First Methodist of Nebraska's
Capitol Is After Popular
Local Preacher
OFFER is a FLArrERlNe ONE
First Methodist Church Of Lincoln !.
Largest Church in Nebraska, and
the Passionate is Desirable Ono =
Rev. Smith DisincIned to Accept
Effort to be Made to Keep Him.

The First Methodist church of this
city is confronted with the possibility
of losing Rev. Merle NJ. Smith, who is
undoubtedly the most popular and one
of the ablest preachers of the city. The
First church of Lincoln, Neb., a charge
which most any pastor would be
proud to hold. is after Rev. Smith, and
its governing body has asked him if he
would accept, provided they were able
to manage his transfer from the Iowa
to the Nebraska conference.
The First Methodist church of Lin
coin is the largest church not only Of
Lincoln but of the entire state, and has
membership of 1000. and a building.
situated within three blocks of the
University of Nebraska, which will
seat 2.400. 1t has paid as high an
st, 1000 a year for its preachers. altho
it's present pastor is said to be receiv.
ing $4,000.
Rev. Smith, who could not be seen
because he is out of the city today.
is disinclined to accept the proffered
pastorate altho the offer is most
tempting one, and the field for labor,
which includes the state university
| with its $500 or more students, is a
much wider one than his present
charge He has as yet made no re.
spouse to the offer, and will not do SO
for little time.
In the meantime every effort will be
made by the board of his church to
retain him. A meeting of the board
is to be held tonight. when it is be-
lieved formal invitation for him to
remain will be made, coupled with a
promise of an increase in salary.
The offer from the Lincoln church
came about by reason of the two SER
mons Rev Smith preached to his con-
gregation a week ago last Sunday. In
the audience at both the morning and
evening service was a prominent mem.
Der of the Lincoln church. This man
had been spending weeks visiting
Methodist churches as far east as New
York, in the hope of finding preacher
for his home charge. After he had
heard Rev. Smiths two serm ons he de-
cided to go no farther, but returned
home, and the request that Rev. Smith

Mr. Mclaughlin, have struck for
higher pay. so it is stated. They made
their wants known some days ago
and as the raise was not Forthcoming
it seems that they quit work yester-

neers has been on duty since yester-
day at noon.
It is said that the men have been
paid S65 month each and asked for
n $500 raise each. which was refus-
ed
So far the plant has suffered no
great Inconvenience as a result OF the
strike as there has been a big supply
of gas in reserve in the immense tank.
Whether an agreement will be
reached between the old employees
and the management or whether new
men will be put on duty as soon as
they can be secured. cannot be an
nounced at this time.
