was backing up he threw his body
under the train and caught hold Of
the brake beam. He was dragged
four car lengths before the train could
be stopped. 1t was found necessary
to amputate one toe.

Coal Substitute Used.

Mason City.-The Milwaukee road
here received two cars of what they
call manufactured coal which the of
ficials are testing as engine fuel. The
coal comes in cakes shaped like toilet
soap but about one-quarter the size
of the ordinary bar Of soap, and iss a
mixture of coal dust and tar. 1t burns
readily and it is said has proved .
good substitute for coal The road,
because of the shortage OF coal, has
been forced to use all kinds OF fuel.
The officials here are awaiting the
result of the experiment with con-
siderable interest.

Belle Plaine.-Frank E Guthrie OF
Minnesota and George Eddy Of this
city have been arrested on An indict-
ment charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Guthrie in her home IN Belle
PLANE nine years ago.
It Is alleged In the indictment
that Guthrie hired Eddy to secure
evidence on which he might procure
divorce. and later induced him to
make way with the woman. eno WIT
ness has testified that he saw the
men leaving the woman's home the
morning Of the day she was found
dead with . bullet hole in her mouth.
The indictments and arrests are the
elimination OF years OF speculation
on the part Of the people Of Belle
PLANE who have connected with the
mysterious murder of Mrs. Guthrie
many other mysteries in and about
this city. The death of Mrs. Myers,
southeast Of Belle PLANE. about two
years after the death Of Mrs. Guthrie,
with whom she was related, was one
Of the tragedies involved in the SER
les OF mysterious events about which
the people have been talking for many
years.
The stories were carried to the
governor, who referred the matter to
County Attorney E. F. Brown. The
grand jury has been investigating
the Guthrie case, and finally brought
the indictments on which the arrests
have been made It is said that there
is little or no direct evidence. but
the jury believed the suspicious war
ranted the indictments.

MARK LINCOLN TRIP

Finances the Project.
GREAT PATRIOTIC SCHEME
~ Donation Ne Has Furthered Pro
ject Of Setting Up Permanent
Markers Aions Line Lincoln
Took in Black Hawk War.

Burlington, Feb. Heterogeneous
Frank O. Lowden OF Illinois, former
Burlington resident. has taken up the
prosecution OF q historical matter OF
great interest to Western Illinois and
to this part Of Iowa. BY the dona-
tion OF q sum Of money he has fur
.heTed the project 6: setting up per.
manent markers to outline the
march. which Abraham Lincoln took
In the Black Hawk war
Only the oldest inhabitants in these
regions now have any memory OF the
course of that campaign which is not
adequately outlined in history.
The object Of the markers win be
permanently to fix the line Of march
and the camping grounds planned BY
the martyr president. The way led
across thep rairies Of Illinois to
the Mississippi river at = point near
Burlington then known as Flint Hills
The march was made from Boards
town, ILL.,, to Oquawka, then known as
the Yellow Banks on account Of the
peculiar coloring OF the river shore
line. From Oqnawka the route went
to the mouth Of the Rock river.
There were two expeditions in the
Black Hawk war. One was in 1881,
when Black Hawk escaped from the
pursuers and crossed the Mississippi,
and the second In the following year
when Black Hawk returned to the III
inois shore with the determination to
remain.
Lincoln was made captain Of one
Of the companies, which took up the
campaign against the Indians. The
expedition gave number Of names
to the localities along the route which
are still borne by them. 1t Is inter-
esting to note that twenty years at
ter his brush with Black Hawk when
Lincoln was coming into prominence.
he again visited Yellow Banks, and
after making 4 speech there came to
Burlington by boat. Yellow Banks
had become Oquawka and was .
thriving village.
The markers to be placed along
the route will be of stone. with suit
able inscriptions, and map Of the
march vii, be drawn and copies kept
on file among the public records at
various points.
