BOY FALLS OFF CAR AND
DIES FROM HIS INJURIES
August Jordan Comes to His Death
While Returning Home from
Work

August Loridan, 16 years old, a mes
senger boy employed at the Hamburger
department store, fell or was jostled off
a Boyle Heights car at First street and
Central avenue last night, sustaining a
basal fracture of the skull, which re-
suited in death two hours later at the
receiving hospital.
The exact nature of the accident is
not known, but investigation showed
that the car was crowded and that
voune Loridan was standing near the
step, and that in rounding the curve
the passengers swerved toward him,
and he either lost his hold or was
knocked off the car.
I.oridan lived at 1907 Marion street,
and was returning to his home after
the days work.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing rooms of Robert L. Garrett, where

BLUNDER HINTED
AT BY OFFICIAL
STATEMENT ISSUED IN REGARD
TO WRECK
Why Train overran Flagman's Lam
tern and the Automatic Sys-
tenn Has Not Been
Explained
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-In the de-
rangement of communication by wire
which still prevails because of the late
storm, complete details of the wreck
OF last night at Northeast, Pa, were
at 1855 this afternoon Of second No. 26,
the New York Central limited.
A statement of how the accident hap
pened was then given out at the New
York Central offices, telling what trains
were in collision and who were killed
or injured.
No. 26, east-bound, leaves st. Louis
at S:45 a. M, and Is due at Cleveland
at $40 p. m, where ii becomes the
second section of the Twentieth Cen
tury limited, due from Chicago just five
minutes earlier.
Storm Delays Trains
Monday night all trains were late be-
cause of the storm, and the New York
limited reached Cleveland first and took
the right of way ahead of the Twen-
tieth Century, thus becoming No. 26
instead of second No. 26. 1t was this
change of numbers that led to the mis-
understanding when hasty and scat
tered news of the wreck was first as
sembled that the Twentieth Century
had been in collision. What happened
was this:
Near Northeast, Pa, train No. 6, the
Chicago, Cleveland and New York spe-
cial, was stalled with a broken engine.
Behind her piled up, one after another,
No. IL and No. 10, the Boston and New
York specials, with brakemen out be-
hind Into this string OF blocked trains
came laundering No 26, behind her
schedule and making up time.
Why she oVerran the flagman's red
lantern and the bulls-eye of the auto
matte system has not been explained.
The weather was thick, but not so thick
as to bewilder the other stalled trains,
which had all stopped at command.
These points remain for an official ex-
PLANTATION.
"Some One BIundered"
Whatever the explanation may be,
No. 26 came hurting through the storm
at better than sixty miles an hour.
Evidently her engineer got a glimpse
of something ahead for his brakes
were screaming when he plowed into
the rear car of the train ahead of him,
The wreck probably will be the sub
ject of a rigid investigation by county
officials. Coroner Daniel S. Hanley,
returning from the scene of the wreck,
said tonight
"The facts in the case will bear close
scrutiny"
This statement, in connection with
one of a high official of the Lake Shore
"that some one blundered'' indicates
that the collision might have been
avoided.
Reports from the hospital where the
injured were taken indicate that they
are recovering

Had Horse Stolen.

Levi Bulls, who lives on the Albert
Larson farm near Chester, was in town
Monday on his way to Riceville and
Usage. He was on the track of fell
low who stole horse out of his pas
ture the week previous. His horse was
missing Wednesday morning and the
evidence was pretty strong that he had
been taken out of the pasture during
the night. Mr.. Bulls Immediately went
to advertising and had some bills struck
off, which he sent out over the coun-
try. Monday he received word from
j. Schultheis, the Riceville liveryman,
saying that he had bought horse of a
stranger which answered to the de-
scription given OH the bills and later
he phoned that the fellow he bought
the animal of had been arrested and
was being held at Usage. Levi re-
turned from Usage Tuesday and had
succeeded in identifying the horse and
having the suspected man bound over
to the grand jury. He gives his name
as Will Barton and says his home is in
Cresco. Schultheis still retains pos
session of the horse, buying it second
time from Bulls. lie Roy Independent

Automobile Blown Up.

A few weeks ago Mrs. w. S. Horn
deceived visit from her brother and
wife, who came from Washington, D..
c., In their White Steamer automobile
to visit relatives in Minnesota and
Iowa. On their return they met with
a most unfortunate accident, which
totally destroyed the car. They start
ed out from Cresco Tuesday of last
week, the party composed of Mr.. Shut,
his wife and his brothers wife, and a
chauffeur. On reaching Oelwein they
noticed that the machine was consum-
ing too much gasoline but otherwise
was running all right. On reaching
Manchester the party stopped at the
hotel, while the chauffeur took the car
a garage. Just as he was backing into
the stall, there was terrific explosion
followed by fierce blaze, which COM
pletely destroyed the automobile and
inflicted severe injuries on the chauf-
feur. The accident was caused by a
leak in the gasoline tank.-Le Roy In

A Drawing Card.

The Cresco Union Savings Bank has
found their offer to youthful depositors
to be of wonderful drawing power, so
much so as to bring a depositor from
so great distance as Vermont. A
few days ago they were greatly sur
prised to find in their mail a letter
from Mrs. Lester w. Wheeler of South
Royalton, VT, sending So to be depos-
tied to the credit of her son H. j., in
accordance with the bank offer. Mr..
Tillson wrote her in reply that while
the offer was intended to apply
only to depositors in the vicinity of
Cresco, in recognition of the COM
pliment paid the bank in sending the
deposit so long distance that they
would accept the deposit, and the
young man was sent his bank book.
The incident is great tribute to the
originality and merit of this bank S
plan, and shows conclusively the wide
publicity to be had by local newspa-
per advertising.

a general way to the laws relating to
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, and
respectfully urge that you see that
these laws are strictly enforced.
In various cities of the state where
the mulct law is in operation an at
tempt has been made to nullify the
effects of chapter 142 acts of the
Thirty third General Assembly by the
granting of resolutions of consent by
city and town councils subsequently to
the passage of the act and prior to the
4th day of July. A large number of
resolutions of consent have thus been
granted to persons who had no inten-
tion o. using the same, who had paid
no mulct tax or taken no other steps
looking to the actual establishment of
mulct saloon up to the time the act
went into effect.
All resolutions of consent granted
for the purpose of evading the law are
in my opinion of no force or effect, and
any attempting to operate mulct sa-
loon under such fraudulent resolutions
should be enjoined as by law provided.
All forms of gambling, including slot
machines and other gambling devices,
should be abolished.
call special attention to chapter 214
acts Of the 33rd General Assembly
which provide for the abatement by
action of injunction in the name of the
State of Iowa upon the relation of the
county attorney, of all houses of as
signation, and request that you avail
yourselves of this law to the end that
these places may be absolutely abol-
ished from your community. trust
that within the near future what has
been known as the "red light" district
in certain cities of our State will be
thing of the past.
l also direct your attention to the
law prohibiting the sale or disposition
in any form of cigarettes or cigarette
papers or wrappers. Section 5007 of
the Code providing for mulct cigar
cite tax in no wise relieves person
who violates any of the provisions of
section 5OO6 of the Code from any of
the penalties of said section, but is
simply an additional penalty against
the traffic.
In nearly every part of the state the
open sale of cigarettes has been aban-
doned since the 4th day of July, but it
is still the custom of number of per-
sons who sell tobacco to either sell
packages of tobacco which contain
within each package a certain number
of cigarette papers or wrappers, or

Flourishing Cresco Industry.

Elsewhere appears an advertisement
of the Electra" Lightning Rod Co.,
calling attention to their scientifically
constructed rods and the need that ex-
lists for their use. 1t may be news to
some that Cresco boasts lightning
rod factory, but there is one and it is
doing thriving business, manufacture
ing its rods by specially designed ma
chinery which during the past year
have twisted into cables seven car loads
of copper wire weighing about fifteen
tons to the car. New machinery is be-
ing installed for the manufacture of
vanes, points, ETC., which so far have
been purchased elsewhere. John S.
Swenson is the secretary and manager
of the company, in which a Chicago
man, Mr.. Selleck, an expert in wire
working, is a partner, ard has charge
of the work on the road for the compa-
ny which has so far confined it's opera
tions principally to Iowa and contig-
uous states.

To the County Attorneys of the
State of Iowa.

Gentlemen Shortly after the adj
journment of the Thirty third General
Assembly forwarded to the several
county attorneys of this state copies of
certain laws in pamphlet form which
had been passed by that body but which
were not then ready for official distri-
button. While number of these laws
did not become effective until the 4th
day of July, yet very considerable
progress has already been made in the
enforcement thereof and in bringing
about better conditions in the State of
Iowa. l congratulate the county at
torneys upon the result.
Inasmuch as section 2 of chapter II
acts of the the 33rd General Assembly
makes it mandatory upon the county
attorney to see that the laws are en-
forced in his county, it will no longer
be claimed that the county attorney
who takes the initiative in the matter
of the enforcement of the laws is with
out his legitimate sphere and trans
cending his authority. Censure may
now follow not for the performance,
but only for the performance of
duty.
While the act places the responsible
ity of enforcing the law upon the coun-
ty attorney, chapter "a acts of the 33rd
General Assembly specifically makes it
it the duty of the sheriff to ferret out
crime, apprehend and arrest all crimi-
nails, secure evidence of all crimes COM
mitted in his county, present the same
to the county attorney and the grand
jury, and file information against all
persons who he knows, or has reason
to believe, have violated the laws of
the State, and the sheriff must make
special investigation whenever direct
ed to do SO by the county attorney in
writing.
In the passage of chapters II and "a
of the acts of the Thirty third General
Assembly relating to the duties of the
county attorney and the sheriff, it was
not the legislative intent to relieve
mayors, police officers, marshals or
constables from any of the duties en-
Joined upon them by law, and consider
ing that these officers are all subject
to removal by summary process for
failure to perform the duties of their
offices, | take it that they will con-
tinue to enforce the criminal laws
within their respective jurisdictions.
l wish to again call your attention in
