was killed in a street fight with John
N. Scheffler. in this city, nearly, two
years ago, $4,000 damages are asked
In a suit fled in the district court by
Jessie Lankton, widow of the deceased,
against the alleged proprietors Of three
saloon buildings, and the bondsman Of
one Of the liquor sellers. The plaintiff
claims that Lankton's death was direct
ly due to his intoxication, and, it is al
legged, he was unable to exercise proper
reason and prudence in his acts or to
exercise voluntary control over his
movements 1t is charged that the sa-
loon keepers unlawfully sold liquor to
Lanllton before the fight with Schef-
fer.
Muscatine.
Claiming $4,000 damages because Of
alleged permanent injuries sustained as
a result of the defendant company
backing train against car i'm which
he was engaged in unloading soap
cases, Christopher Loving has brought
suit In the district court for that
amount. The petition alleges that the
impact caused a case of soap weighing
ninety pounds to fall heavily upon his
head and shoulders, inficting severe
injuries, not only to THE head and
shoulders, but to his arms and back.
Mr.. Loving, the petition states, was 60
years of age at the time of the acct
dent, and the injuries have tncapaci-
tated him from work, thus the income
of $40 to $40 per month that he had
until then been earning, is cut off.

undoubtedly have suffered serious in
jury had not the bees been in good
frame OF mind, and allowed rescuers
to shake them from the thoroughly
frightened man.
Noticing the bees towering about the
Lyle block, Miller thought ne would

ing a small box, d1e began pounding on
it with hope Of attracting the run
Always.
He did attract them, but, instead Of
swarmfng in the box, as he anticipated,
the queen bee selected his head and
neck as a landing place and her sub
jects all followed her.
In less time than 1t takes to tell the
story, Miller's head and neck was in
visible because of the great number of
bees which stuck to him. He yelled,
fought and clawed the air, but the
queen bee commanded her subjects to
stick.
Evidently, she also commanded them
not to use their stingers, because when
rescuers had removed the bees from
Miller, not one of them had sent its
stinger into his flesh.
In the meantime a "smudge" had
been made in a dry goods box and the
bees settled therein, and 1t is intimated
that Miller will be presented with the
swarm because Of his unusual expert

STEP FORWARD FOR HAMPTON.
Hoped to Have Free Mail Delivery In
stalled III Three Months.


Special to Times
Hampton, Aug. SIT will be remem-
bered that several weeks ago the an
nouncement was made that the postal
receipts at the local office for the past
year had reached the figure required
to entitle the city to free delivery of
mail matter. AS result, 1T is an
nounced that an inspector is expected
here in a few days to look over the
matter, and see that the arrangements
are made that are necessary before
the service can be established. Among
these are the numbering of the houses
and the placing Of the street names at
the intersections, under the direction
of the city council. The city officials
announce that they are ready and
willing to order this work done as soon
as we are assured that the service
will be installed here.
A city directory was gotten out here
few years ago, and door numbers
placed upon many of the doors, but
the system will probably be different
this time, and the old door numbers
be useless. The former work was not
by direction Of the council. The prep
arations will require q considerable
amount of work and time, and it is
not expected that the service can be
put in operation inside OF three months,

Long Beach, Aug. Mime thousand
people OF the HawlSeye State, who now
claim southern California as their
home, gathered today for the annual
midsummer outing held by the South
ern California Iowa Association. The
weather was ideal for the outing. Pic
mic dinners, bathing and boating, much
eloquence and some good music went
to make up program which was alto
gether delightful.
Three-car and four-car trains kept
bringing the Iowans to town from s
o'clock this morning until 2 O'Clock this
afternoon. On the picnic deck of the
auditorium the names of the Hawkeye
States ninety-nine counties were
posted conspicuously. Under these ban
ners the former residents of the coun-
ties gathered to converse and later to
lunch. There were no registration, how
ever, except in the auditorium proper,
where the former students of Iowa's
many boasted colleges and universities
gathered, the names of the schools be-
ing posted about the big hall. Iowa
State University. Drake, Upper Iowa.
the Agricultural College at Arnes and
Morningside brought the biggest groups
together Twenty other schools were
represented by goodly registrations.

headed by Charles hampton, president,
came in 1873 strong, on special train
on the Southern Pacific. 1t was met
by the Municipal Band, which escorted
1T to the auditorium and then played
a concert.
The dinner hour afforded a great
spectacle on the lower deck of the au-
ditorium, the capacity of the large area
being exhausted completely by the
many luncheon parties. A cheaper rate
than usual attracted thousands to the
plunge. The surf was also thronged
with lively bunch all day. An APP
preciated feature Of the dinner was
the coffee furnished free of charge by
the local chamber of commerce. More
than 800 gallons were brewed.
After another band concert in the
