Flies lay their eggs mostly in horse

egg is laid fly becomes a worm or mag

SEVERED HEAD FROM BODY
Jacob steinIy Was Run Over by Rock
Island Train.

Monday Jacob Steinly of Tampa
was knocked down and run over by
a Rock Island train at Ramona, in
stantly killing him and severing his
head from his body. His left arm
was cut off at the shoulder.
Mr.. Steinly was in Ramona on
business and expected to take the
passenger train home. He was a
little late in going to the depot,
and the train was coming in when
he started to run. There are two
tracks south of the depot and a
freight was on the south track go
ing east, while the passenger was
coming into the station on the north
track. Evidently Mr.. Steinly became
confused for he ran right past the
depot and on to the track in front
of the passenger train. Persons who
saw the accident were of various
opinions. Some thought he forgot
which train to take and tried to
cross the first track to take the
freight, but noted his mistake and
stopped on the track to return, when
he was hit. He was 43 years old,
and leaves a wife and nine children.
