OSCeOld.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdaniel reside In
Washington township, Clark county,
about six miles northwest of Osceola.
They were. enroute with their two
daughters to WOODBURY. to spend the
remainder of the day and approached
the railroad crossing from the south
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren McComus and
the Youngest Mcdaniel girl were in an
auto about a hundred yards ahead OF
the Mcdaniel car as the crossing was
reached. Owing to the height of the
corn in the field adjoining the road
and the weeds along the roadside the
speeding mail train was not seen by
the occupants of either car till the
crossing was reached. The first car
passed safely ahead of the train, and
at once began signalling the rear car
to- STOP but the occupants failed to
catch the meaning of the gestures and
plunged directly into the mail train,
the auto striking just at the junction
of cab and tender.
The speed of the train threw the
car over and the occupants we're hurl-
ed violently to the ground. Mrs. Nc
Daniel struck on her head squarely on
one of the rails of the south track and
her skull was crushed in like an egg
shell, death being instantaneous. The
train was stopped at once and backed
up to the scene of the tragedy. The
lifeless body Of Mrs. Mcdaniel was
placed aboard the train, husband and
daughter were put on board and all
speed made to Osceola. On arrival
there Mr. Mcdaniel and daughter were
taken to Harken's hospital, where they
were placed under the care Of Drs'
Harken, Dean and Sells. An examina,
ton of their injuries showed that Mr.
Mcdaniel had several ribs broken, one
knee cap crushed and a bad scalp

$1,000 FOR BLACK FOX.
Received by Augustus Moody of JEFF
ferson from Auburn Dealer.

Lewiston, Me-, Jan. 1.-The prize fox
will go to Auburn for Rich Hunnewell,
the noted dealer in furs.
This animal, huge black specimen.
was captured by Augustus Moody
of jefferson, after a thrilling battle
during which the captor sustained
many slashes from the teeth of the
fox caught in a trap.
Arthur Robinson went to Jefferson
Wednesday and found the animal
there more beautiful and valuable than
he had dared hope. Instead of a silver
gray fox it is virtually one of the
black species and magnificent in size
and color.
Mr.. Robinson examined the animal
carefully and then reported back over
the long distance phone to Mr.. Hun
newell the result.
Then came the discussion over the
price. Mr.. Moody was well informed
regarding the value of such an animal
and also realized that he was far
more valuable living than had he been
1ead. All the afternoon Wednesday
rs,e talk went on and during that time
Mr. Tunnewell was called over the
long distance phone several times.
So stiff was the price that at one
time it looked as though the deal
would fall through. At last Mr.. Hun
newell cut the Gordian knot by the

Rep. Rainey wants it determined
whether the charter of the Hamilton

be revoked, whether the dam should
be removed or changed so as to not

cation and whether the government
should not regulate the prices for the
electric power furnished the public
