c. A. WISE HAD
MUCH HARD LUCK
FORMER MEMBER OF HOUSE IS
KNOCKED DOWN AT CEDAR
RAPIDS BY MACHINE.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 23.-To be seri-
ously injured in an automobile encoun-
ter and later, have his residence bur-
glarized while he was confined to his
bed suffering from his injuries, was
the remarkable experience of former
Representative G. A. Wise.
Mr.. Wise, who is president of the
Citizens National bank, was returning
from inspection Of the new bank build
ing, and was struck by an automobile
driven by James Peterson. The un-
fortunate man was lifted from the
paw .ment with the blood streaming
from serious scalp wound. and con-
veyed to his drug store, where he re-
ceived immediate attention. Later he
was removed to his home, where more
thorough examinations were made. 1t
was found that no bones were broken,
but the car passed over both lower
limbs, bruising and crushing the flesh
clear to the bones.
During the wakeful hours of the
night Mr.. Wise noticed CLEAN OF
light cross his room and then the adj
joining room Thinking it might be
come passing lantern, he did not at
first realize that it was dark lantern
outside the house, but soon the dining
room was flood Of light and he saw
that some intruder was there.
Shouting to his wife, who was on
the second floor, to come down quickly
with his revolver. he frightened the
burglar, who ran quickly, escaping
through the dining room window,
which he had left partially raised.

CLUES T0CRIME
FARMER OF HRookvILLE PICKS
UP PART OF REMAINS OF a
DEAD PERSON..

Paclwood, Aug. pa full set OF
false teeth and the hip bone of an
adult person, found in ditch on the
farm Of d. NJ. Johnston, adjoining
Brookville, has created a stir in this
community. many believing the find
to be all that remains of prominent
citizen who mysteriously disappeared
from Brookville many years ago. The
grewsome find was made by the twelve
year old son of Mr.. Johnston, who was
playfully following a pillow used in
making the ditch. On examination
the teeth were found to be in per-
feet state of preservation. Some let
tiers were found on the upper plate,
but they were too dim to be decipher-
ed. The ditch was about four feet
deep and the soil where the teeth and
bone were found was much blacker
than surrounding soil. Local history
has it that many years ago promi-
nent man of the then flourishing town
Of Brookville mysteriously disappeared
and although search and inquiry was
made for months no tangible clew was
obtained. Perhaps this is the begin
ming of the end Of the mystery.
