Eldora, Aug 3.-Eleven fat steers
were killed and the lives of an engine
crew wereA endangered, when Iowa
Central northbound fast freight, No.

as the Perkins highway crossing. three
miles north of here, about 1880 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. Flowing thru the
herd at high speed, some of the ami
mails were thrown to the right OF way
fences. others were ground to pieces
under the engine and cars, and while
some were killed outright, Others We're
so badly mangled and injured that they
had to be slaughtered.
Beef Scattered Along Track.
For approximately 100 yards frag-
ments of the animals We're scattered
along the right of way, while the en-
CINE pilot and the head end OF the
boiler were despatched with blood and
bloody fragments.
While there was every chance that
the bodies Of the steers would cause
the engine to leave the track, it stuck
to the rails and rounded the curve in
safety.
The animals had just been sold by
a man named Clemens, to Mr.. Robin
son. Mr.. Clemens was in the act OF
delivering the herd when the accident
happened. While driving them across
the railroad track part of the herd
broke and ran south on the track
jumping over the cattle guard. They
had gone about 100 yards when the
train met them. Conductor Roberts, of
Oskaloosa, was in charge of the train.
Engineer Lorimer, of Oskaloosa, was
on the engine.
Is Dangerous Crossing.
The crossing on which the accident
happened is one Of the most dangerous
on the line of the Central. 1t has been
the scene of other and more serious
accidents. Four years ago Eugene
Willard, of Mason City, was killed near
the crossing, when two freights crash
ed head on. Willard was engineer of
one Of the trains.
The highway crosses the right Of
way in a deep cutand the crossing is
made still more dangerous by being on

NEGRO SOLICITING FUNDS FOR
SOUTHERN SCHOOLS PROVES
u TO BE FRAUD.
DEFRAuDED cHARITAsLY
INCLINED IN SUMS OF 81 TO IS
Circular From Head Of School Asking
For Arrest of q. w. Brown. Results
in Capture at WaterIoo-Has Not
Been Connected With Institution For
More Than Year.

Waterloo, Aug. 3.-Philanthropy is
result of the police nabbing a negro
impostor, d. w. Brown, Of Mcleod,
Miss, styling himself as the superin-
tendent and solicitor for the Noxubee
(Miss.) Industrial school.
Brown has been in the city for
about two weeks. with the exception
of one or two days at a time when he
would visit nearby towns. He stung
Waterloo public spirited citizens to
the tune of about $50, in sums rang
ing from 81 to IS. He received SO
contributions from some of the best
business men and professional men in
the city.
Brown approached the business and
professional mon, receiving contribu-
lions in any sum they felt like giving,
for what he designated as q fund to be
used for charging the N'oxubee Indus
trial School at Mcleod, Miss eight
miles east of Macon, Miss, and pay
ing off a mortgage on the school prop
erty. Many know the value Of educa-
tional advantages for the negro Of the
south, and when an opportunity pre-
sented itself for them to donate to SO
worthy cause, they readily re-
sponded.
How 1t Came About.
S. ]. Hunter is principal Of the
school. He had been in Waterloo oI
one or more occasions and was lodged
in one of the finest homes in the city.
Brown really was employed by the
school at one time, from May 26, 1908.
until May &c, 1909. Since that date
the school had heard nothing from
him. Professor HlIrter suspected that
Brown might be collecting funds for
his own beenfit and sent out circu-
bars over the country stating that he
was not connected with the school
any longer and that if he appeared
here the police should arrest him as
an impostor. The police received one
of these circulars yesterday and at
once nabbed the man, as he was pre-
pairing to board Rock Island train.
He was taken to the police station
and there confronted with the charges
that he was an impostor, which he
stoutly denied, but was unable to give
satisfactory answers to the questions
asked by Detective Welsh. He could
not tell who is treasurer Of the school
now, nor could he state when he sent
contributions and to whom he sent,
other than to the school. He said the
last money he sent in was from Belle
PLANE about three weeks ago, altho
he had collected over $50 in Waterloo,
and perhaps an equal sum from small
towns, none of which he said he hao
sent in.
