Cedar Falls, June THE closing
hours of the Firemen's tournament,
which had passed off, until last even
ing, without an unpleasant happen
ing or accident to mar the pleasure of
the two days meeting, We're made sad,
by an accident at the corner of Third
and Main streets, about 1880 In which
SEVERN Markusen, well known local
blacksmith was seriously injured.
The waterloo fire department was
making a fine exhibition run thru
the business section of the city, and
Chief Dunhsm was coming down the
street in his light buggy, with his
black horse going at a gallop. Mark
usen had been crowded into the street
by the people behind him, and when
the fire chiefs rig came careening
down the street he was unable to get
out Of the way in time.
Markusen was thrown to- the pave
ment with great violence, and suffered
rather, serious injuries. He sustained
a severe scalp wound, which required
several stitches to close it, and was
badly bruised and shaken up other
wise. He Seems to be in a rather
precarious condition and it is feared
by some that he has suffered internal
injuries.
