MYSTERY IN RUMOR.
Several Messages of Inquiry Can
Locate No Accident.

Numerous rumors have been cur
rent lately of an accident on the Os-
kaloosa &c Buxton Interurban line last
Friday evening in which a man lost
both his arms, but absolutely no
foundation can be found for the re.
port Several times inquiries have
been made at the office In regard to
the mans condition who was hurt and
it was stated that he was resident
of Brooklyn, Iowa. A telephone mes
sage was also received by DIR. Alb
bolt from Lynnyille, Iowa, in regard
the injured man, who was supposed
to have been taken to the hospital
for treatment, and another message
from Galesburg, ILL.,, was received in
regard to the same accident. The In
terurban authorities deny the report
entirely and the police have heard
nothing of it more than mere rumors.
How such a story could have been
started and spread to such remote
cities as Lynnville and Galesburg in
so short time is surprising, but all
rumors we're likely based on some
misunderstood report of the late acct
dent on the street car line on South
Market street in which Mrs. Padgett
and her little daughter were killed.

OWEN.-We have recently learned
some of the particulars of the manly
struggle made by c, B. Owen to regain
his health He was an Oskaloosa boy,
born, reared and educated here at
our public schools and colleges. His
grandfather, DR.. C. G. Owen, was
Mahaska county pioneer, coming to
Oskaloosa in 1876, where he practiced
his profession for almost fifty years.
His father, Byron Owen, was skilled
mechanic and closely identified during
his active life with the growth of this
city. Some five years ago, Barton
went into the far southwest. After
over year in New Mexico,
he drifted into Southern California,
living at Pasadena and Los Angeles,
or whatever spot seemed to contribute
to the betterment OF his health. He
was planning to try the climate of
Colorado this fall and winter, when
there came relapse and on the morn
ing of July 4, 1907, he dictated his
last message to his loving mother,
lVaNih6 hiiu Noiu W VNCl
of the family. His chief thought was
that the will of God might be worked
out in his own life and in theirs. At
1880 in the afternoon his spirit went
to be with Christ whom he loved,
During his last years he worshipped
with the Holiness people. 1t was
only short time that he was unable
to care for himself. During those
last days these kind-hearted and UNI
selfish people ministered to every
want. The first thought of the fam
lily was to have him buried in the
family lot In Forest cemetery On
further reflection he was laid to rest
in sunny California, the land which
he had learned to love. His nephew.
