FALLS TO HIS DEATH
Young Man From What Cheer Loses

Don Oscar Ferguson, aged thirty-tWo
years, of What Cheer, fell from the
steps of the north bound Iowa Central
passenger No. / about seyen-thirty
O'Clock this, Wednesday, morning, sus-
tanning fatal injuries that resulted in
death a little before eleven o'clock at
the Williams hospital where he had
been taken.
Ferguson was enrOute to the State
Fair at Des Moines and took the Iowa
Central train north at seven o'clock
for Grinnen. The young man was not
in good health and had been suffering
from a nervous breakdown. Feeling
somewhat sick with the motion OF the
train he did not enter the coach, but
stood on the platform or steps where
the air was more free. Just how he
happened to fall, whether from faint
ness or whetber Overbalanced by the
motion of the coach will never be
known. He was seen to slip down
from the steps and the right leg fell
over the track and was cut OFF below
the knee. Severe bruises were sus.
tanned about the body and head John
Holiday, a young farmer living near
the place where the accident happen
ed saw the young fellow fall and
heard his cry. He ran TO the injured
man before the train had backed up.
The accident happened about mid
way between the Skunk river bridge
and Lacey station. A number of the
farmers hurried TO the scene and the
assistance Of Francis F. Everett, near
whose place the accident occurred,
was secured. The injured boy was
placed in Mr.. Everett's automobile
with as little delay as possible and he
was hurried TO OskalOosa and to the
Williams hospital Death was caused
by loss of blood and the shock attend
ant upon the injury. Physicians in at
tendance took every means to revive
him, but he was in a pulseless cOndi-
ton when he arrived at the hospital
at a few minutes before nine o'clock.
The system of the patient refused to
respond to treatment and, although
conscious and in no great pain, death
came a few minutes before eleven
o'clock.
Don Ferguson was well known in
Oskaloosa and was well liked by as
sociates and acquaintances. He was
a member of the Oskaloosa Eagles
lodge. The parents, who formerly

from continuing business.
The government charges that the

tons ownership Of the capital stock
OF the Toledo and Central Ohio, the
Kanawha and Michigan and the
Zanesville and Western roads, and
its connection with the mining con-
Germs named, has crushed competi-

The governments petition alleges
that the combination thus formed az

fields, namely, the Pittsburg, the

and the Hooking Valley.
It is alleged that the six railroads
are affiliated and that the three coal
companies are also, not only among
themselves, but with the railroad
companies.
