ssoY HAS CLOSE CALL.

Much excitement was caused by the
report circulated on the streets OF
Manchester late Saturday afternoon,
that some one was accidentally shot,
while hunting along the banks Of the
,Nfaquoketa river. Major H. G. Utley
and M. P. Hennessey lost no time in
getting to the scene where the shoot
ing was supposed to have taken
place. ..
Z 1t developed that Floyd Payne and
Raymond Mitchell, two boys, went up
the river during the afternoon, each
carrying gun. While in the vicin-
ity OF the camp along the river young
Mitchell fired charge at a mark on
the building, the shot plowing their.
way through the pine boards, and
several shot struck young Payne in
his left arm and one Of his legs.
The lad receiving the shot
called to his companion that he was
shot, whereupon the Mitchell boy
started for home to get assistance as
fast as he could, never ascertaining
the extent Of the injuries inflicted.
Upon reaching town he at once told
Major U tley and his father, and an
investigation was made When the
men reached the camp young Payne
had also left for home, and all that
the searchers could find was the gun
which young Mitchell carried and the
boys hat, which he left when he.
started for help. When Major Utley
and the sheriff returned home they
found young Payne In the Utley res
taurant extracting the shot.

4 United States Senator Albert B.
Cummins, and Hon. Burton E. Sweet
Of Waverly, made tour Of part OF
the county on Friday of last week,
meeting the republican voters in
'Earlville, Delhi and Hopkinton, dur
ing .5the day, and in the evening two
addresses were delivered by the Sem
ator and Mr. Sweet in the Central
Opera house. Il. /
( The party leaders had planned to
make an extensive tour of Delaware
county, but ON account of the 'llnfav-
orable condition of the roads only the
places named were visited on that
day. The party reached Hopkinton
at about the noon hour, and following
dinner, Senator Cdmmins and Mr..
Sweet addressed a fair sized crowd
Of the voters Of the southern part Of
the county. The meeting at the op-
era house in this city in the even
ing was attended by several hundred
citizens. s.. w. Klaus of Earlville,
chairman of the republican county
central committee, and a number Of
local politicians and candidates for

or and Mr.. Sweet on their tour. At
the various S meetings held in the
county Chairman Klaus presided and
introduced the two speakers.
{ Burton E., Sweet, candidate for con-
gresham from the Third district,
addressed the voters for upwards. of
an hour, dwelling at considerable
length upon the various phases of
legislation enacted by the present ad-
ministration, and more particularly
the tariff issue. Mr. Sweet also
spoke of the terrible strife existing
on the European continent brought
about by the war among the leading
nations of the Old World.
. Following the address by Mr..
Sweet, Chairman Klaus introduced
Senator Cummins, who occupied the
attention of the voters for an hour
or. more.
Following his preliminary remarks
SENATOR Cummins waded into his
subject, and toook to task the Will
son administration for certain legis-
lative acts, but was careful to avoid
mentioning the administrators at
t1tude in regard to the Mexican and
European policies.
. Both Senator Cummins and Mr..
Sweet were accorded close attention
AND were literally applauded.
From Manchester the party went to
Oelwein where they spent Saturday
delivering addresses and meeting
tne voters. t.

PONY TAKEN FROM BARN. 4

: OF all c0ntemPt1bIe tHleVery tlidc
has ever been carried on in this city,
the worst specimen Of such work
was carried on last NIGHT, when some
one entered the stables of Hubert
and Dale Smith, sons Of Mrs. Frank
Barnd, and took the little black
pony. The Smith boys paid a good
price for the little pet pony lasf
year, and valued the animal verv
highly. Entrance to the stable was
gained through a back door, and the
pony was taken out through that
door also. Sheriff Hennessey found
tne foot prints Of the pony along the
alley, but could not trace the tracks
farther than the alley.
