Des Moines. Nov. IL. = Special:
LATE Young. editor Of the Des Moines
Capital and resident of Des Moines.
Is the new United States senator
from Iowa, succeeding the late iona
than r. Dolliver, Of, Fort Dodge
The announcement was made at
noon today, for Governor Carroll
through his private secretary, c. G..
Nye. 1t was said that the governor
sent for Mr.. Young this morning and
offered him the seat by appointment
and that Mr.. Young had accepted the
same. AS a result there are two
United States senators from Des
Moines.
There are rumors that Governor
Carroll and Mr.. Young have an agree
ment and an understanding that the
latter will serve only through the I'M
expired term of the deceased sena
tor and will not be candidate to
succeed himself. This will allow
Governor Carroll time and opportun.
ity to capture the toga for himself II
he can.
Young says there are no strings
upon his appointment and that he
can be candidate for reelection to
the office il he wan, to.
Surrounded by h.S friends extend
ing congratulations LATE Young this
afternoon said he was the first ma
tive born Iowan to serve in the state
senate when he was rs years of age
and now at the age Of So the first
native Iowan to serve in the U. s.
senate.
There are three distinct camps
into which the conditions will divide
the legislature, neither of which will
be strong enough to carry out its
policies, but in combination almost
anything may be looked for. There
is prospect of deadlock that may
last during the entire time the legis.
lature is in session. In this event
Young would continue to serve until
the election of successor.

MAY BE FATALLY HURT
John Richards Aged ~ is Hit by
Rock Island Passenger.

John Richards. aged about n years,
was probably fatally injured today at
noon when Rock Island passenger
No. 469 struck the buggy containing
himself and little granddaughter,
Bernice Yer Ploeg. The accident
happened at the intersection of the
Rock Island tracks on South Seventh
street, Mr.. Richards and grand
daughter were following the father
and mother of the girl, who were in
another buggy. The first vehicle
crossed the track in safety, but Mr.
Richards, on account of defective
hearing, did not notice the bell sig,
nal at the crossing. The horse and
a part Of the buggy passed safely
over, but the train as it came around
the curve at this point struck the
rear of the buggy with terrific force.
The buggy was knocked several feet
and dragged along the track. Mr..
Richard was thrown with the buggy
along the track, where he was picked
up. The little girl was thrown from
the buggy onto the bank. She was
not injured to any great extent, but
was badly bruised about the face.
The train, in charge of Conductor
Geo. Dowell, was stopped almost in
stantiy after the accident and the
train crew gave the injured man
every possible assistance. Engineer
McGugin in rounding the curve with
the train and seeing the buggy over
the track, set the air brakes but was
SO close that the crash came in spite
of all that could be done.
J Those who saw the accident say
that Mr.. Richards was Knocked with
the buggy and his injuries were caus-
ed by striking the ground. He was
taken to the Thomas Martin home,
which is within a short distance from
the track, and later removed to the
0skaloosa hospital. The little girl
was taken to the j. Dulin home Just
north of the scene of accident, where
she received care.
The injured man was attended by
physicians, who state that he is bad
ly injured. The collar bone was
broken and several ribs fractured.
1t is possible that he is also injured
internally. The patient is in a semi
conscious condition this afternoon
and seems to be resting as easily as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. There is hope for his re.
covery. Mr.. Richards resides with
his daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Conrad Yer Ploeg, southeast
of the city. = They were in the buggy
which preceded Mr., Richards when
the accident occurred.
