WESTGATE MAN KILLED.
Henry Wilbur Meets Instant Death
Under Engine Wheels.

Westgate, June 23-The commu-
nifty was terribly shocked Thursday
morning when the news spread that
Uncle Henry Wilbur had been
struck by train near the depot and
instantly killed. He had been to
Mr.. Bender's after chicken feed,
which he was taking home in a
wheelbarrow. The freight was in
the yard on the main line, the en-
CINE being cut off and switching on
the track. Mr.. Wilbur evidently did
not hear the engine coming out,
neither did the engineer see him as
he stepped directly in front of the
oncoming engine. He was rolled
for some distance, the wheels then
passing over his body, cutting it al
most in two. The body was remov-
ed from the track and the coroner
notified at once. Mr.. Wilbur was an
old settler Of Fayette county, COM
ing here from New York when a
young man and settling near West
Union From there he came to
Fremont township, living in this vi
entity till twelve years ago, when he
moved into town. Mr.. Wilbur was
eighty-three years old.

Con Man Got a Diamond.

A con game was worked on E.
&c. Chamberlin, the jeweler, whereby
an artist in forged checks got away
with hundred dollar diamond and
r. G. has the nets out TO gather him
in if possible.
This man dropped into the jewelry
store, dressed in fairly good clothes
soft shirt and crush hat, and repre-
scented himself TO be a farmer who
lad recently come in here from some
other part of the state and bought a
farm. He intended to stay here and
wanted to get a diamond for a pres
ent. He picked out the gem and
then showed Mr.. Chamberlin what
appeared TO be deposit slip from a
bank at Brooklyn. The slip showed
deposits of $1,000 and $4,000 respect
, lively. Then presenting his check for
500 he got the diamond and Mr.
Chamberlin Immediately sent the
check over TO the bank for collection
1t proved to be worthless, and the
supposed deposit slip was nothing
but a receipt from the bank for two
sight drafts which had been drawn.
With the forger but few minutes
ahead of him Mr.. Chamberlin quick.
! ly started the police after the foxy
con man, but he had slipped up the
street and around corners somewhere
till he had lost himself beyond al
| location, and he is still free with the
diamond. He may have had an au
tomobile handy, or got train out
but anyway he evaded the minions
| of the law.-Denison Bulletin.

completely destroyed by fire about
four o'clock Monday afternoon. The
origin of the blaze is unknown, but
it is thought that cigar stub or
pipe may have started it. The fire
started under the driveway and
spread very rapidly. When once
the big air shaft leading to the Gu

Sight Comes Back at Tooth Pulling

Ottumwa, Iowa, June 23.-The
pulling of wisdom. tooth brought
back the sight to the right eye of
Mrs. e. A. Ford, of Ottumwa, after
a total blindness of that orb for
three years. She had suffered no ac-
cident or injury whatever to cause
the blindness and consulted occu-
lists, but none would give her any
hope of ever regaining the use of
the defective eye. A left lower wis
dom tooth caused her trouble and it
was decided to remove the tooth.
While the dentist worked on her
tooth she suddenly exclaimed Il
can see." An occulist who had treat
ed Mrs. Ford was called in and pro-
nounced the eye normal. She has
suffered considerable pain since, but
the eye is in good condition and she
is able to see out of it after three
years blindness.
