Judge w. r. Green of Atlantic over
| the case of the State VS.. Henry Hol
| len, the supervisor who was convicted
of grating and whose removal from
office was provided for.
The recent blazing hot weather
came just in time to save the wheat
and oats in Southeast Iowa and the
neighboring portions of Illinois, from
going to the bad by the way Of the
green bugs. Reports from points in
these vicinities show that whole fields
in various sections have been fairly
eaten up. Many farmers have plowed
up the oats and wheat and planted
them to corn. The hot weather is
rapidly killing off these bugs.
Harry Hanke. who was seriously
injured by being thrown from the car
riage in the runaway at Newton, died
with out regaining consciousness. He
and three others were driving when
suddenly the horses became unman-
ageable and started to run. While
turning a corner the carriage struck
tree and was overturned, throwing
all the occupants to the ground.
Harry's head struck tree, causing
the injuries which resulted in his
death. The other three were unin-
jured
Mrs. Joseph Patton, the bride Of
day, who deserted her husband when
the echo of the wedding bells had
scarce died away, has been found at
Vinton. She was in fainting condi-
ton when picked up on the street and
in highly nervous condition, border
ing on epilepsy. She has expressed
contrition. for running away from her
husband and desires to return to him.
She is unable to explain her sudden
and mad flight from Waterloo, where
she married. Her husband is en-
ployed in a Waterloo factory and
bears an excellent reputation.
AS the drum rolled to accentuate
the danger OF a iying-trapeze-iron-
jawed act in the John Robinson show,
while e. biting at Des Moines, the
teeth of one of the Minerva sisters
gave way and Efiie Minerva was hurl-
ed to the sawdust ring. She will pro-
badly die as the result of her injuries.
The accident occurred at the matinee
performance The stunt is one cal
culated to cause the spectators to
hold their breath and it was several
seconds after the body of the girl
struck the ground before the big
crowd of spectators realized that
something had gone wrong.
The needs of viaduct over the
Central and the M. G st. l.. roads in
Tort Dodge was again brought to the
attention of the officials, when Messrs.
Ostermann, Nelson and Hoagland,
three employees of the gypsum mills en-
route home in a buggy, were caught
on the M. q st. l.. tracks by switch
engine and the horse killed and the
buggy demolished. The three occu-
pants escaped with their lives by
narrow margin. The horse was valu-
ed at 1925. The place of the accident
has been the scene of many hair rails
ing escapes from death by people liv-
ing in West Fort Dodge
A settlement has been effected in
the case of Harry Anderson or Allan
tic, administrator of the estate of
Jack Anderson VS.. The, Rock Island.
The case was one in which the plain
tiff sued for the death of Anderson,
who was killed by being struck by
Rock Island train east of that city
while driving with Walter Roberts of
that place on September 10, 1900.
Anderson was killed outright and
Roberts suffered bruises and other in
juries. The case was tried in the
September term of court in 1903, and
the jury returned a verdict of $4,000
for the plaintiff. Judge Thornell sub
sequently granted a new trial on the
grounds that the, evidence tended to
show that the two men in the buggy
could in all reason have seen the
train approaching, had they exercised
proper care and looked up the track
as they approached the crossing in
the buggy The case has been pend
ing since then, and the settlement
has beein progress for some time.
BY the terms of the settlement the
defendant pays the plaintiff $500 and
each side pays its own costs.
1t was distinguished body Of
medical men that assembled in Du-
buque on the annual meeting of the
Dubuque County Medical society a
few days ago. There was an immense
demonstration in the clinic, held at
the two hospitals as well as vast
amount of interesting information
given out in the lectures. But worthy
Of attention was an incident of the
human interest" kind: At the elm
ic conducted by DR.. Lovett of Boston
there was brought before him the IS
months-old child of Dubuque county
man, who, at the time of its birth,
| had been injured-in fact it's back
| had been broken. Parlitial paralysis
had set in. The one ambition of the
father since the child's birth has been
| its restoration to health and strength.
He summoned up his belongings to
the doctor and, declaring they had
| been the accumulation of lifetime,
he offered thsm all to the surgeon
| if he could effect cure on the in
| FAINT. The doctor assured him his
| services would cost nothing. He sug-
| gested on the other hand that the
| treatment now being administered be
| continued for six months. "If at the
| end of that period there is not a
marked change" said DR.. Lovett,
"send the child down to Boston. I'll
| place it in the childrens hopital and
| care for it, and it won't cost you a
| cent"
