POLICEMAN ARRESTS

ARRESTED
IN CLASH BETWEEN POLICE AND
UNITED STATES OFFICER
EACH "PiNcHEs" OTHER.

OFFICER Lease made an arrest early
Yesterday morning that turned out to
be q case Of catching Tartar. In q
dispute that followed the arrest OF a

Death BY Motorcycle.

Early last Sunday morning Ralph
Lang met a fatal accident while mo-
tor cycling near Burt. He had been
working for & man named Sprow,
east of Burt, since early spring, and
had planned to make trip last Sun
day to Rolfe to see his sister who
had been visiting there, and to have
an outing such as boys of his age
delight in taking. A companion of
his planned to go with him, and they
hired motor cycles in Burt for the
ride. They were to start early, and
at o'clock Ralph was ready, but
his friend was not yet quiet ready,
and Ralph said he would take lit
tie spin about and return in a short
time for the start. He went west
toward Burt and crossed the river.
and little distance on the west side
it would seem that he lost control of
his machine and plunged against a
tree. He was thrown into the weeds
and lay there unconscious until $3.50
when fisherman heard his groan-
ing. Several persons passed by in
autos or carriages or motor cycles,
but owing to the noises of their We
hicles they did not hear him. He
was brought to Burt as soon as pos
sible and DR.. Peters examined him,
but there was nothing that could be
done. The boy was fatally IT,.
His skull was broken ard also his
houlder, and his jaw was bruised
and there was bruise on his leg. He
died in about half hour after being
brought to Burt.-Algona Courier.

made SO that the beer, that which
was not seized, was turned over to
the railroad companies interested
and was shipped back to Austin to
the brewing company making the
shipment. Sheriff Fitzgerald with

protesting at the strenuous enforce
ment of the law, stating that at the
present time it is almost impossible

HEROIC SKIN GRATING FUTILE
Three Hundred Square Inches OF
Cuticle Transferred, But WO-
man Dies.

West Union, Iowa, July 5.-Miss
Mary Burns, who was so seriously
injured from the explosion of a gas
oline fiat iron some ten months since,
at her home near Hawkeye, in Fay
cite county, finally succumbed and
passed away after most heroic eff
fort to save her life, on Monday af-
ternoon.
In many respects this has been one
of the most notable cases in skin
grating which has ever occurred,
and it is confidentenly believed by
the attending surgeons that the eff
forts to restore her would have been
successful under favorable circum-
stances. Her critical time of life
and consequent enfeebled vitality
away accident short time previous
to the explosion, rendered her much
enfeebled and her powers of recu-
peration much lessened.
Miss Burns was injured in Sep
TENDER, last, and her life in the body
has been continued UP to the pres
ent time only by the most heroic eff
forts and the best of medical atten-
dance. Shortly after the accident,
nine young men in the neighborhood
of her home volunteered to furnish
the required skin from their limbs
to supply the burned flesh, and al
most three hundred square inches OF
cuticle was engrafted upon the in
jured woman. The grating was
successful, but the unfavorable ply
steal conditions made the recovery
impossible.
