Electric Current TUNED OF Again

The electric current was shut off
last Sunday. This was not done ow-
ing to the storm as many supposed
but was done by some person who
thinks it is a joke to throw a wire
over the high tension line. The joke
may not turn out as practical as the
perpetrators may think for the pen
atty is very severe one. This is
the third time this has happened and
in nearly the same locality. The Up
per Iowa Power Co. has decided to
offer a reward for evidence leading
to conviction. The reward will be
announced later Postville Review.

CAR RUNS OVER LEG.
George Starbuck Suffers Little from
Rail Accident.

Marshalltown, Iowa, August 26.-
To have railroad car run over his
leg and 90 no more damage than cut
the skin and break the small bone
was the experience of George Star
buck of this city, a Chicago Great
Western brakeman on local trains be-
tween this city and Oelwein. Star
buck was engaged in making coup
ling at Reinbeck and in stepping out
from between the cars slipped and
fell. One wheel of an empty gondola
car passed over his right leg, but in
stead of severing it or mangling it
badly, caused only flesh wound and
fractured the fibpla.
