Mason City, Oct. 2l.-A human in
terest story. strangely touching, comes
west Of here. For a number OF years
William Clark was a well-liked barber
of that town. In his social gatherings
with friends he would sometimes d.
vulge a little Of his history. enough to
lead the people to know that there was
something in his life he desired to
have solved more than anything else.
And it has been solved. For nineteen
years he has been lost from his father
and mother AT Peoria. ILL.,, the other
day, there was a reunion between
father and son and unless something
too great to be overcome occurs in a
very few days he will he in the en-
brace Of his mother who is now a
resident of Brooklyn, y, Y. and is
known as Mrs. Gustave Zeiger.
Comes From Wealthy Family.
Briefly told, the story runs about as
follows: Mrs Clark came from a
wealthy Virginia family. When his
father and mother married he can not
recall but it was after a long court
ship because of objections OF Mrs.
Clark's parents. VIII was born in
Canton. III. From Canton they moved
to Peoria and then on to Pennington,
MINI. For some reason the husband
and father did not seem to be able to
just fit in with his job and his life was
a rowing one. From Pennington only
a short time elapsed before they were
back in Peoria.
Parents Separate.
Here domestic trouble which had
been brewing for some time led to
separation, the father going his way.
the mother her way. Will stayed with
his mother. She was too proud to turn
back to her parents for help but shun-
ned them. With needle and thread
she endeav ored to support herself and
child. The. child was on the streets
a great ,daaA and was finally, with his
mothers Permission. taken to the home
OF the frtendless Finally Mrs. Clark
consented 10 having her child taken to

Jefferson, Oct. 81. To leave Jefferson
as a modest but aspiring roadmaster
on branch line, and return to the old
home five years later in ones own
private car, fitted up like portable
palace, and officiated by two sable sons
OF Ham who anticipate every wish Of
the occupants-that is business per-
Torrance Of class. The story books for
good little boys do not relate any tales
more remarkable or inspiring, and the
pleasant part of this story is that it
is all true.
Mr.. E. H. Barrett's car, occupied by
himself and wife and 6-year- old daugh-
ter. Clara was dropped Off one OF the
Milwaukee trains here Thursday, and
was shunted to a convenient spot adj
jacent to the Main street crossing,
where 1t remained for three days, when
1t departed carrying the distinguished
visitors. The party occupied the car
as their home while in Jefferson, tho
they were dined and feted by old
friends to such an extent that they
used 1t little except for sleeping pur-
poses.
MIR. Barrett's earlier days of railroad
ing in this locality did not offer any
special prophecy of his recent rapid
rise In the old days of the Des Moines,
Northern & Western, which was owned
by the Hubbells Edward was superin-
tendent of bridges, and later roadmas-
ter. He mastered the details of this
branche line SO thoroughly that blind
1o!ded and in the dark he could locate
himself at any point where you might
set him down. He did his work thor
oughIy, which Is the secret Of success.
When the Milwaukee railway took over
the old line from the Hubbells, Edward
went with it as part Of the establish
ment The new employers soon recog-
nized him as railway man of ability,
and offered him a more responsible po-
sito1 in different place, but Edward
was so firmly attached to his old job
and his friends here, thai he declined
these offers rather than run the risks
or greater responsibility and the break
Ing up Of the Jefferson home and the
pleasant associations here formed.
FINALLY, however, the company or
dered him out into the Dakotas to take
charge OF the construction work on the
new Pacific coast extension. Reluc-
family he went, facing stupendous
task of railway building thru the
mountains. To make a long story short
ne made good. The company rewarded
him by making him superintendent of a
division Of the new line, and later as
sistant general superintendent, the po-
sitlon he now holds with prospects Of
further advancement. His headquarters
are at Butte, Mont. and his opinions
and his orders carry great weight in
one of the greatest railway systems Of
the country.
Among his Jefferson friends, he is
the same whole-souled, unaffected,
modest fellow who left us but a few
years ago. but he has developed into a
man big In ability and in stature, and
the end Of his development is not vet.

The testimony introduced at the

attract a large number Of people and

The Jury awarded JUDGMENT to Miss
Lauer in the sum of $4,000. Banning
appealed the case. and tho supreme

ion on a technicality.
