E. G.. Barnes was in the wreck
just outside of Sioux City "Wednesday
to Des Moines, and was in the sleeper
as far as Sioux City, where he left it
and took the Mitchell train. Mr..
Barnes was standing in the aisle OF
the car talking to a man when the
collision occurred and he was thrown
falling in a heap at b other end.
He cut his jaw that caused him to
bleed p%rofusely. When he got home
his face was all swelled up like he
had the toothache. Mr.. Barnes said
that the injured were taken back to
Sioux City and given medical at
tendance at once, while the claim
agents were present and took the
statements of the injured people.
"a Knight for a Day. was pre-
evening to a very good audience.
The show is good from one view

effects, but it did not come up to the
expectations in the matter of music
and people. The see-saw song with
the myriads Of electric lights dis
played was one of the prettiest
things ever shown on the local stage
and brought out rounds of applause.
Mr.. Barry n Miss Herbert We're
the comedians, and the little lady
made the hit of the two. Barry has
some good comedy points but it
seems as though he has got to strain
a point every now and then to create
the laughter. Miss Herbert's COM
edy is quiet at times and her humor
infectious. The chorus work was
very good indeed, the costuming and
pretty girls emphasizing the success
of that part of the performance. The
musicals comedy did not measure up
to 1.-The Honeymoon Trail" the last
one of the kind here.
