have good buildings, and are busy
trying to keep uu appearances that

hoped that this feature will become

Boone, July 13--An accident hap
pened Sunday afternoon at Oak Park,

north Of the city, which cast deep
gloom over the entire city. Ed Collins,
the 1S-year- old son of Alderman Col

lad in company with three of his pals.
took the 3 o'clock interurban car for

danger that threatened one of them

an arm OF the river. and made the trip
In safety. They started to return, the
distance being short. Here the Collins

alive himself, and when the other two
companions reached him he was nearly
dead. An alarm was sounded. phone
messages were sent to the city, and
soon a large crowd collected, with
hooks, boats and ropes, and after four
hours search. the body was recovered
and brought to this city.
The young man was a student of the
musical department OF Simpson college
and was one of the best liked young
men of the city. He was popular and
prominent, and his disposition was
such that he had absolutely no ene-.

Nevada, July 13.-There has been
something doing among the stockhold-

Company during the last 4S hours,
which is the talk of the town today.
Saturday night majority of it's stock
was all but sold and then after a hur-
rying and scurrying on the part OF
members Of the company, every
stakeholder who had signed an option
on his stock, to a man, met during the
evening hours Of the Sabbath day and
waiting until 1905 am. signed
withdrawal of their option, serving no.

The options were obtained by the
president of the company upon the
representation, as related by some OF
the members, that a big merger OF
Independent lines was In progress,
financed by Homer Miller. Of the Des
Moines Savings bank and organized for
the purpose OF fighting the Bell peo-
pie who had recently purchased the

been paid to bind them.
There is much suspicion now that

Bell people but no evidence upon which
to base the charge.
