Had One Arm. Now Has None.

To be compelled to go through life
deprived of one arm is to be pretty
unfortunate, but to be in that condi.
ton and then lose the remaining arm
is the climax of tough luck. That is
what happened to p. v Sexton at
Victoria Crossing, between Frede-
ricksburg and Sumner last week. He
had lost one arm while attempting to
board train on the Chicago Great
Western in Dubuque three years ago,
and last Friday at the above place had
his other arm taken off in a similar
manner. He attempted to get on the
front end of the caboose of the south
bound @. CIV freight train as it was
pulling out of the passing track, and
losing his grip on the hand rail was
thrown down and the wheels passed
over his arm above the elbow. He
was taken up and assisted onto the car
by the train crew and carried TO
Sumner, where his injured arm was
amputated and dressed by Dr.
Whitmire.
Sexton claims Bellevue, Jackson
county, as his residence, but was d.
vorced from his wife about year ago
and since then has led wandering
life -Waverly Democrat

The widespread effect of the anti
pass law in Iowa was made evident as
never before in Iowa City on Friday
The Iowa Legislature had accepted the
invitation of George w. Koontz of
iowa City to visit the state university
aud attend the mi-centennial cele-
bration, in observance of the adoption
of the constitution of Iowa. A year
ago. accepting a somewhat similar i'm
vitation, the legislature was repre-
sented by more than one hundred
representatives and senators, who
went on a special train, the use of
which was free to all lawmakers,
thanks to the Chicago. Rock Island q
Pacific company This year there
was no free train, no passes-and no
legislature. When the hour for the
coming of the lawmakers arrived, the
university band and 300 cadets
marched 10 the station, but found no.
body to escort. Governor Cummins,
who went early, was the only state
officer present The Iowa City Com
mercial Club had made an appropria-
tion to cover the expenses of ban
quet in honor of the Legislature. but
the organization saved its money
