delegated to the shops in Westheld
edition to pay the employees.
He had large sum of money In

buggy. He was driving northward
and had reached point just beyond
the ball park, when a couple Of men
sprang from a thicket with the COM

Instead of obeying the orders Of
the men, Mr. Ballou reached for his
whip and as he struck the horse a
singing blow one Of the highwaymen
discharged his revolver. The bullet
struck Ballou in the right side and
ployed its way through his body, COM
ing out at the right side of his back.
The ball went through him completely
and was picked out of his coat later.
Mr.. aBllou applied the whip and ran
his horse mile, where assistance was
given him. He saved the money
amounting to about $1,000, and turn

The police department formed a
posse, half hundred employees of the

Consul and Wife Pay Tribute to
Mothers Memory.

Oskaloosa-Col. and Mrs. A. W.
Swain have generously remembered
the new Oskaloosa hospital and have
paid beautiful tribute to Mr..
SwalIn's mother. At a meeting of
the hospital board it was announced
that they had rendered the old home
stead at the corner of B avenue and
X street to the hospital to endow a
ward in the new building to be known
as the Elizabeth Swain ward.
The property is to be decided to
the hospital or to trustee for the
Institution and will likely be sold.
The entire proceeds are to be used
in euuipping the ward and to aid in
maintaining it.
This is one of the most generous of
the many gifts that have been made
to the hospital and it will pay fitting
honor to the memory of a noble and
kind hearted woman, whose many
acts of kindness and deeds of charity
made her beloved by all who knew
her in life.
The details of furnishing the apart
nent have not been arranged as yet.
but will be worked out in the due
course of time, ard the Elizabeth
Swain ward will be credit to the
hospital, and a source of pleasure to
the friends of the good woman whose
name it will bear.
