&. NJ. Harl and I. N. Ff'ckinger,
two well known attorneys, cIashed in
superior court at Council Bluffs, and
the encounter terminated IN Flick
niger striking Harl light blow in the
face. Before either lawyer could
make another move others in the

arose over limitations that some af-
fdavits introduced into the case at
issue were of doubtful character.

with poor grace from a man posses
sing the reputation of the counsel G,
the other side to charge irregularity

court and to Harl.
During a tour of the east this sum-
mer S. B. Couenhoven of Iowa Falls
will search for a missing penny bear,
ing the date Of 1923. Mr.. Couenhoven
has one of the finest collections of
old coins in the country and for years
has searched for the one missing
penny to complete his collection. He
has hrge copper pennies for each
year from 1890 to 1855, and nearly al
the half pennies that were issued
during the same period. OF the
"shinplaster" series he has a fine col
lect'sl of the various denominations,
and lis collection of fractional silver
money for the past 100 years is nearly
complete. His collection was started
by a silver dollar bearing the date OF
1899 that his mother gave him when
he left the home in New York city in
1864.
Struck by flying stone that i'm
bejded itself IN his brain, Ed Cakes,
employed at the Barber Asphalt COM
pany's plant in Iowa Falls, was alive
at last reports, although his death
has been expected hourly. At the
noon hour a series of blasts were set
off and all the workmen had taken
shelter in the power house. Cakes
was passing an open door and paused
a moment to look out. AS he did so,
a piece of rock from a blast that
was touched off at that moment
struck him squarely in the forehead
and, crushing the frontal bone, i'm
bedded itself in his brain. Physicians
are unable to locate the, stone by
probing and claim that it is LODGED
in the back part Of the head. Cakes
is a powerfully buut man and his
strong vitality is ascribed as the rea-
son for death not being instantaneous.
Miss Martha Vitze, a servant girl
in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E.
Mann, cottagers at Clear Lake, is en-
titled to a Carnegie medal in the
heroic rescue of the little son OF
Prof. and Mrs. E. A. Patchen from
| drowning. She waded into the water
which came to her mouth and with
| her foot worked the limp and lifeless
| body of the child back within her
reach, got him from the water and
resuscitatel him after an hours
work. The boy was on the dock
| fronting the cottage at play and in
| grasping at a stick fell into the water.
His dog was with him and attracted
attention by swimming about the
place where the little fellow had gone
! down. Rushing to the dock Miss
Vitze was afraid to jump in as she
could not swim. but going back to
the shore she waied out and accom-
plished the rescue several minutes
after the boy had gone down for the
last time. Miss Vitze is the heroine
of the hour at the lake, especially
among the cottagers, over her sue
cess in saving the life of the child.
Will Davis, one of the most promi-
nent young men in Cresco and a
leading athlete at Iowa university,
lies between life and death as the
result of the accidental discharge Of
a shotgun by Arthur Thompson. The
side of Davis's face was blown away,
one eye being destroyed. While
hunting on the Iowa river one of
their guns refused to go off and
after some examination they placed
it in the bottom Of the boat. When
they reached the land Thompson
threw the gun on the land with some
remark to the effect that 1t was
worthless and at the same time Davis
was stepping from the boat. AS the
gun struck the ground it went off at
a distance of not more than three
yards from Davis and the whole
charge struck him in the upper part
of the face. 1t was thought at first
that the shot had proven fatal, but
Davis survived and he was rushed to
town as fast as conveyance would
carry him. After an examination OF
the wound it was found that one eye
was wholly destroyed and perhaps
both eyes. 1t has not been deter
mined whether the shot penetrated
the skull or not. The doctors are Of
the opinion that 1t has, for at last
: accounts, he was still unconscious
AMI no effort to revive him hat
proven successful.
