Mason City. Sept. 21.-Falling a dis
lance Of twenty feet from the huge
steam shovel at the cement plant Sat-
urday afternoon, A. W. Beecher, mas
ter mechanic at the plant, lit in pile
of crushed rock and suffered terrible
cuts and bruises about the face, and
over his body generally.
Beecher jumped from the arm of the
big machine to avoid horrible death.
One of the monster chains which holds
the great shovel in place, snapped in
two while he occupied the precarious
position out on the arm of the huge
machine. AS he jumped, the end OF
the chain struck him on the chest, but
had he not thrown himself out of the
way, he would have caught the full
force of the writhing chain about the
neck. Jumping in haste, he rather fell
than otherwise, and could not tell how
or where he would strike terra tirma.
Unfortunately he struck on the pile OF
crushed rock, with his face, arms and
knees receiving the brunt of the fall.
He was unconscious when the men
went to pick him from the heap OF
rock, and remained in semi-consci-
Gus condition for several hours.

Ames, Sept. 21.-Saturday night,
after few rousing selections by the
band, from the big steps of Central
hall, a large number of students filed
into the college chapel for the first po-
litical meeting ever held at I. 8. c.
The meeting was given over to a dis
cussion of plans for the coming politi
cal campaign, and a setting forth of
the plans of operation and organiza-
ton OF the club which Is to be formed.
1t is not to be political club in the
usual application of the term, but, taxi
en- in it's broader sense, 1t is to include
every political element in the school.
and is to be known as the First Vot-
ers' club" The purpose of the organ
ization is to get the students inter-
ested in politics, and to inform them
on the various political issues which
are at stake in national and state cam
paigns. and the student after becoming
acquainted with the facts, can weigh
them in his own mind and can then
affiliate himself with any party he
chooses.
The club will join various national
organizations. both republican and
democratic, and will arrange to have
speakers from all Of the national par
ties in attendance at various times
during the fall. Republican rallies and
democratic rallies will be a feature and
as the enthusiasm increases, which 1t
is sure to do as. election approaches,
the supporters of the republican plat
form, the champions of the peerless
Bryan, and the advocates Of prohibition
will be given a chance to stand up for
their party's policies on the debating
platform.
Mr.. e. G. Binehart is engineering the
project, and if enthusiasm counts for
1T will not be long ere the
old campus will be ringing with the
slogan of the republicans and the an
swering battle cry of the Bryanites.

Special to Times Republican.
Logan, Sept. 21.-Albert Smith and
j. G. Kirk, who were arrested by Sher-
if Rock And his deputy, for the al
legged offense of robbing Mrs. Hunts
farmhouse Wednesday afternoon. were
given a hearing, and their bonds placed
at $500 each. Mrs. Hunt was positive
in her Identification of the two men.
Sheriff Rocks exciting chase and
capture Of the two men, is proving a
more valuable capture than was at
first supposed, as may be judged from
the further Identification of the men
by the mayor and four farmers from
Hamburg here Sunday afternoon. The
Hamburg people allege that these two
men, who claim to be Omaha opticians,
are wanted in Fremont county for SIM
liar offenses to the one committed here.
Warrants were left for their arrest
and detention until an officer can reach
Logan from Fremont county, in the
event bonds to the amount of $500 are
secured.
Peter Nelson who shot and wound
ed Charles Gillispie, was also given a

Williams, who ran away with over $50
Of the funds of the Chicago Great
Western railway, a week ago. Detec-

that he might be given time to inves-

therefore postponement of his hear
ing. Williams gladly acquiesced, and
stated that he would be glad to stay
in Jail for even three or four months
for he believed that in that way he
could break the whisky and morphine
habit. which now has him in its grasp,
and to which he attributes his recent
fall from grace.

the night, causing loss Of $4,000. The
