Hand Badly Mashed

S. w. Pagan had his hand
badly mashed this morning
while repairing a pump. With
some olhcr workmen, he had
lifted the pump cut of the we'll

the ain and caught his hand
between the pump and a beam
across the mouth of the we'll
None of the bones were crash

squeezed all the flesh off the
palm of his hand and around
his thumb. The wound is a
very painful one and of such a
serious nature that he will be
laid up for two months at least.
The County Attorneys office

Monday Attorney Mclaughlin
went to Persia where he had a
young man fined $25 90 and
costs for assault and battery
and yesterday he was in Coun-
Gil Bluffs where he took a
young man before the judge in
an endeavor to have him sent
to the inebriate asylum at

cate cases have come up so far
in Mr.. McLaughlin's short
tenure of office but he has

The fore goirg dispatcl

day in a state paper in Iowa
when the dispatch was read a,

and pleasantly characterized
the story as "fairy tale" ano

Council Bluffs, appearing in
one of eastern Iowa paper gave
the startling information that
the three men had been appre-

proven untrue.

The good citizens of Wood

AN OPIUM BONFIRE IN CHINA
ParaphernaIia Confiscated From,
Smokers by Authorities Is Burned
Once Every Month.

A quantity OF opium pipes, lamps,
and paraphernalia for the preparing
OF the drug. to the total value of more
than 10000 taels, was publicly burned
In the presence of Chinese officials
and squad of soldiers on tie empty
space of ground behind the British
concession in Hal1ow.
The goods represented the results
OF months raiding in and about the
city. The opium, which was the ma
tive product, and the other articles
were piled in a heap opposite the
Ningpo club and were thoroughly
soaked in kerosene and packed round
about with firewood.
This was set fire to, kerosene being
poured on the bonfire when the flames
showed signs of dying down. Not
a clay vial was left The burning is
carried out once month, this being
the second time, and a different place
is selected for each fire. The opium
and utensils were wholly confiscated
from smokers. The smokers were
fined or imprisoned.
