Lake City.
Engineer Roy r. Smith has finished
the profile and drawings Of the pro-
posed nterurban line between Lake
City and Lanesboro. The line as sur
veyed Is one and one-half miles east
from Lake City thru Main street,
thence south two miles on the hale
,, section line, east one and one-half
miles and south three and one-half
miles into Lanesboro, making total
of eight and one half miles. The max
imum grade is 1 $40 per cent, the
same as that used on the steam roads,
and the maximum curve is 10 per cent
1t would require 1856 cubic yards to
be cut with fill of $3.50 cubic yards.
Mr.. Smith says that the surveyed line
is an easy grade and he gives an estl-
mate of the cost as follows: cost of
grandng $11 900; steel ties and trolley,
SAT ,5OO power house, 100000, making
total of S69.500. He is now survey

who had just stepped from the track
and allowed the empty engine to pass
him. In moment he heard the crash,
and turning, saw the iron nlogul leap
high into the air and then take her
death plunge toward the river below.
Rushing forward he found Engineer
Charles A. Shocks pinioned under the
engine. and after some little effort sue
ceeded in releasing him. His left hand
was broken and his right was badly
scalded, while two fingers were sew
cred His left leg was broken and his
hip badly injured, While there was

the middle Of the neck below the chin
Edward Adamson, sWitchman, was
also severely injured and may not sur
vive, while Floyd White and Ross Jut-
man, the other two men on the engine,
were severely scalded by the escaping
steam.
White, altho badly injured, was able
to walk to the Blanden mill, about half
mile distant and telephone the news
of the accident to the city. while the
bridge foreman went back to flag a
freight train due in very short time
The injuries to Adamson recalls an
other tragedy in his family which hap

GUILTY PARTY SUSPECTED.
Samuel Carson, Who Was Assaulted

Newell. Feb. 22.-Contrary to the ac-
counts appearing this week in the
Sioux City dailies, Samuel Carson, who
was assaulted and robbed last week
Wednesday evening, is still living and
altho his ultimate recovery is not GER
tain, he is in no immediate. danger. No
positive evidence as to the identity OF
the assailant has been secured. Sus-
picion has rested on a young man OF
this place, who Immediately after the
crime was known to have spent mon
ey Of the same denominations as was
in the old gentleman's purse. This with
other things, leads some to think that
he is the guilty party. The local au-
thorities, Sheriff Parker and County
Attorney Whitney have been making
Investigations hoping to secure evil
dence sufficient to warrant the arrest
of the suspect, but have not taken any
action. They are criticized by some
for their failure to act. Mr.. Carson
himself has not thrown any light on
the case at all! At times he appears
to be perfectly rational, and at others,
does not recognize anyone.

State News.
Special to Times-Republican.

Gowrie Feb 2a.-Mrs. Ivan Olgrey,
q respected woman of this place,
adopted heroic measures to cure her
husband of the drink habit and to
teach him that abuse would not be toll
Grated in the future. Mrs. Olgrey,
while he slept from the effects of
drink, sewed her lord and master up in
q pair of blankets and gave him Sc
we're horse whipping. He is confined to
his home as result of the beating and
certain promises he made to her.
According to his wife, Olgrey has
been in the habit of coming home
from town drunk and beating her. She
states that she warned him Of her in
tention to punish him if he persisted,
but he laughed at her. A few days ago
he went to town, coming home in his
usual condition. After some words he
is said to nave gyven his wife several
severe lashes across the back, she
finally running 10 the barn to make
her escape from him.
Olgrey soon relapsed into drunken
stupor and was taken to his room and
put to bed by the farm hand. Mrs. OIL
grey soon followed, and, taking some
carpet warp, she sewed her spouse Sc
curely into the blankets in such
manner that it was impossible for him
to move hand or foot
Going then to the barn she secured
a heavy whip which she laid on with
such enthusiasm that the pain soon
brought Olgrey to consciousness and
made him roar for mercy. His pleading
for clemency, however, was unheeded
by the woman, until she had brought
him into thorough submission. She eX-
torted promises from him of complete
reformation, made him sign a pledge
and agree to confine himself to the
farm for period of six months. His
wife is to do all the business which re-
uuires a departure from the confines
of the home place, during that period
The whole affair was seen by the hired
man and the agreement was put into
writing, he acting as witness. Mrs. Oh
grey is a highly Respected woman in
the neighborhood where she resides.
She has been married only two and
one-half years.
