Old and Respected Citizen Meets

Fred Opel, aged n years, father of
Geo. F. Opel, well-known tailor,
was found by the officers about HOO
o'clock last night near the G. B. & Q.
water tank just south of the Second
ward school house with his right
hand hanging in shreds. For time
mystery surrounded the accident.
for no one knew how the old gentle,
man had been injured. The man
himself was unable to tell how the
accident occurred. 1t is thought that

senger train about $50. The right
hand was injured to such an extent
that amputation was necessary. Mr..
Opel had been up town and was re-
turning 10 his home, No. 1917 South
F street, when the accident occurred.
He is slightly deaf and being old and
feeble probably fell with his hand
across the rail about the time the
train was approaching.
The officers brought the injured
man to the police station and he was
later transferred to his home on South
F street. After dressing the wound
physicians removed him to the Oska
Ioosa hospital. where he can be better
cared for. The remainder of the hand
was amputated this morning. Mr..
Opel, being an old man, is very weak
from the loss of blood and will pro
badly be confined to the hospital for
some time.

Gently run a distance of go miles,
from Chicago to Cincinnati and re-
turn, with benzine as the fuel. The
run was so successful that it is like
ly that benzine may come into gen
eral use for this purpose. The trip
was made on an average running
schedule of twenty-five miles an hour.
The fuel consumed was thirty-siX
gallons. which averages 1876 miles TO
the gallon. The only trouble expert
enced in starting the motor was on
the morning Of the last day of the
run after the car had stood over
night in a cold garage. Gasoline was
used TO prime the cylinders. Benzine
is less expensive than gasoline, and
better mileage per gallon and more
power are claimed for it, but it does
not yaporize as readily as the latter,
consequently the starting of a motor
on this fuel is more difficult.

Going along the Iowa Central near
Newburg, the train observed SLOW
orders" because of repairs TO the
road bed caused by the recent freight
wreck. The wreck was one OF those
inexplicable things that will happen
in railroading. The train was run
ming at normal speed over a perfect
track when the tender suddenly
jumped off the rail and sixteen cars
were soon lying in a shapless heap
on either side of the track. The
most remarkable thing connected
with the accident lies in the fact
that no person was injured-not even
scratched. Down in the gully ly-
ing on it's side was big ditching ma

the situation and suggested that that

There are always funny incidents
connected with every accident no mat
ter how serious it may be, and the
Newburg wreck was no exception to
the rule. For several hours passen-
gers and baggage were transferred
from all trains across the scene of
the wreck on foot. OF course every
body, especially the ladies, have on
low shoes at this season OF the year,
and the railroad is in danger OF being
bruises which the festive sand that
crawled over the tops of the shoes
produced. But these were not the
worst of the troubles. The conductor
carried one ladies' baggage around
the wreck and helped her aboard the
other train. He asked her TO make
an invoice OF her packages and wraps
TO see that they were all right. She
put an o. X. on all of them and con-
tinued her journey to Mason City.

But on to Waterloo! 1t was hot and
the Great Western coach was crowd
ed so we shared a seat with a man
in overalls. II was not necessary, but
he explained his work-day appearance
on Sunday by the fact that he had
just been to Kansas for two car loads
OF cattle which he was bringing to
feed at his Grundy county farm. One
word led to another and the fact de-
veloped that the man was William
Flanders who was born across Des
Moines river at Old Rochester. He
went north when he was Is years
old-and this has been about thirty
years ago-and became a pioneer in
northeastern Iowa. II felt like a
family reunion TO hear him rattle of
such names as Sumner Hayes, Aaron
Henry, Yves Foster, Dick" Boyer
Aaron Mattix and a dozen other fel-
lows in that neighborhOod. Mr.. Elan
ders was not egotistical enough TO
say he had the best farm in Grundy
county, but he did say that there
was not another farm in Grundy coun-
ty that he would trade his for, with
out enough boot to buy an ordinary
farm.

And what lot Of old familiar faces
one will see in Waterloo. Ii is no
wonder that Waterloo grew faster
than any other town in Iowa. She
got enough people from Oskaloosa

distinction. In the light OF the show.
ing made during the last ten years,
the wonder is that Oskaloosa manag-
ed 10 gain any at all in population.

are all doing well in Waterloo, but as
for the roustabout he would not swap

best and biggest town.
