Administrator Of Estate of
Charles Locke Asks $4,000
Damage of c. & N. w.
LOCKE KILLED AT ALTOONA
senf, Plaintiff, Alleges Negligence on
Part of Defendant = Case May Be
Bitterly Fought by Defendant Com
pany Because Locke Was a Deaf
Mute.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Fort Dodge, July 24.-The admins
traitor of the estate of Charles A.
| Locke, Henry A. Semi, has filed suit
against the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad company asking for $4,000
damages for causing the death of
Locke
1t will be remembered that Charles
A. Locke was a deaf mute artist re-
siding at Fort Dodge, and frequently
travelled about the country dsposing
Of his paintings. On the afternoon of
May 10 of the present year while
crossing the track of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad in the town of
Algona he was struck by a fast train
and instantly killed. At the time of the
accident the legal firm of Kelleher &
OConnor was retained 20 look after
the. interest of the heirs of the de-
ceased and went to Algona for the
purpose of attending the coroners in
quest as well as making personal in
vestigation for their clients.
According to the petition filed by the
plaintiff Henry A. Semi, there are good
grounds for damages, it being alleged
at the time of the running down and
killing of Mr.. Locke, the train was
travelling at reckless and unusual
rate of speed and that the employees of
the company failed to sound the Whis
tie or ring the bell at the crossing,
or use any method of warning the man
of his danger.
At the time of his death Mr.. Locke
left wife and several small children
in this city and as he had accumulated
but little of this worlds goods with
which to sustain them after his de-
mise it is to be hoped the plaintiff will
secure reasonable verdict when the
case comes to trial, or at least can
effect a settlement which will assist
them, altho the defendant company
may fight the case bitterly on the
grounds that the man killed was a
deaf mute and therefore would have
been unable to have heard the warning
had one been sounded, if the allega-
ton of neglect be conceded.

La Porte.
One day recently a party Of camp
ers drove into town and a couple of
women proceeded to visit residences
and beg from women. They had papers
telling a sad story of Sickness death
and hard luck The story appealed to
the sympathies of the women and a
good sized sum was gathered in, some
contributing sums as high as dollar.
The women doing the begging were
both able bodied and it is very prob
able that a lazy man or two were loaf
ing in the camp wagon while the Wom-
en- were begging. 1t would be good
plan to report such beggars to the
city officers so that their cases could
be Investigated before they have

Mayor Maloney has announced his
intention to serve notice upon all prop
erty owners having vacant lots within
the city limits to cut the weeds on
such lots and keep them down during
the remainder of the summer. The
mayor does not propose to have poll
tax revenues expended in work which
property owners should perform and it
Is also felt that there is little use in
the city moving the weeds in streets
If the owners of adjacent property per-
NIT the weeds to take possession Of
their premises. The city officials ap-
preciate the fact, 1t is stated, that it
will be necessary for the city to NOW
the weeds along streets, but an effort
will be made to minimize such ex-
penditures. in order to conserve the
funds which are available for street
improvements.
