TWO GIRLSARE
THROWN OUT OF
RUNAWAY
Opal Taylor and Vina Hurst
Hurled From Buggy On
Heads As II Hits Tree.
AUTO SCARED HORSES
IN OUTSKIRTS OF CAPE
Steed Spills Two Drivers and
Wrecks the Buggy In A
Fence.

Misses Opal Taylor and Vina Hurst,
two young ladies whose homes are in
South Cape, while driving through
Smelterville yesterday morning were
thrown from the buggy and seriously
injured.
They are both regarded skillful
drivers and expert in the handling of
horses, but when the animal they
were driving became frightened at a
passing automobile, they were unable
to control the terrified beast and were
carried at a reckless speed along the
rocky roadway.
Pedestrians, teamsters and chauf-
feurs were alike UNDECIDED by the
frenzied steed, and were compelled to
seek safety by hurriedly withdrawing
to the roadside to give open passage
to the wild stampede which threaten
ed disaster to the passengers.
The lines were ierked from the
hands of the fair driver and were fly
ing wildly while the unguided horse
plunged madly on.
Spectators vainly attempted to
check the mad race by waving coats
and blankets in front of the approach
ing animal, but their actions were I'M
needed and their would be rescuers
were compelled to give way in order
to prevent being run over.
Just as they were passing the store
of l.. A. Kirby, the buggy swerved to
the side of the road, the hub striking
a small tree.
The sudden impact caused the
shafts to snap, and the horse freed
from his burden, plunged on with in
creased speed. The young ladies were
hurled from the buggy, head foremost
over the dash board into the road.
Friends gathered quickly and the
victims of the accident were carried
into the store where they were cared
for, pending the arrival of medical as
sistance.
The horse became entangled in a
wire fence a short distance from
where the buggy was wrecked, and
was captured and restored to its own
err who had appeared on the scene,
The young ladies were taken to
their homes, and while they received
painful bruises and some deep cuts
about the face and head, they were
not dangerously hurt.

NEGRO CALLED
A MURDERER IS
CAPTURED HERE
Patrolman HutsOn and Beeve
Arrest Black Five Minutes
After Being Notified.
SWEETHEART QUARREL
CAUSES HIS CAPTURE
Dusky Maiden, After Romantic
Fuss, Tells Police Swain
l., Slayer.

Elder Evans, alias AIRED Butler, a
negro, who is charged with having
committed a murder in Evansville,
Ind, was arrested by officers jeff Hut
son and Ed Beeve at about 1890
o'clock this morning.
The arrest was made five ,.>nutes
after officer Hutson had been advised
that the fugitive was wanted.
Evans is charged with having r:r
dered man by the name of Wash
Primm, in Evansville, on August 4,
1913, at negro celebration.
He has been living in this city for
several months and has hcon employ
ed as a laborer at various places in
the town.
His apprehension was the result Of
a quarrel with his sweetheart, Geor.
gle Evans, who is said to have accon!-
panied the prisoner to the Cape.
In a spirit of revenge after their
misunderstanding, the woman sought
officer Hutson and advised him Of the
charges that stand against her dis
carded lover, whom she stated could
be found at 31S South Fountain street.
Mr.. Hutson Immediately sought the
assistance of Officer Beeve who was
still walking his beat in the down
town district. DR.. B. w. Willis who
was preparing to take a spin on his
motorcycle, hurried downtown and
brought the officer back with him on
his machine.
The oftivers then repaired to the
address given them, where they sur
prised and captured their man with
out resistance.
While the prisoner did not confess
his guilt, he was sullen and refused to
talk.
Officer Hutson communicated by
telephone with the Chief of Police at
Evansville, and was informed that
such a murderer was wanted and that
from the description given, he had no
doubt but that the right man was be-
ing held. Mr. HutsOn was instructed
to hold the prisoner until the arrival
of an officer to take him back to the
scene of the alleged crime.

BABY TOPPLES
INTO A TUB OF
BOILING WATER
Little Daughter of Henry LANCE
Rescued By Mother But
May Die
FALLS INTO VAT AS
PARENTG GOES IN HOUSE
Believes Infant Tried to roll
low Mother When Tragedy
Occurred

The two-year-old baby girl of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry LANCE, near Snider's
Mill, toppled backward into a tub of
boiling water Monday afternoon,
and was badly scalded that but little
hope is entertained for her recovery.
The accident occurred at about two
o'clock in the afternoon while the
mother was washing clothes in the
rear of the house.
A tub of hot water had been set
aside for some special purpose and
Mrs. LANCE, while busily engaged at
her work, forgot for a moment that
the tot was near, and went into an adj
joining room to procure some clothing
She had scarcely gotten away when
she heard the agonizing scream of her
little daughter. Hurriedly returning
to the scene, she saw the child strug-
Cling in the seething mass of boiling
Suds.
Taking the little sufferer in her
arms, she called one of the older chill
dren from the yard and sent her hur-
riedly for the father, who was work.
ing in a field some distance away.
Neighbors we're also called in and
the injured child was given every at
tention possible while they waited
the coming of the physician, Dr. Ram
sey of Tilsit. whs was communicated
with by telephone.
Her suffering was intense and it
was feared that she would not survive
until the arrival of the doctor.
Realizing the urgency of the call,
he travelled the three miles quickly.
He resorted to emergency treatment
to save the babys life.
The child received frightful burns
almost the entire body being affected,
and the physician expresses but little
hope for her recovery.
1t is believed the baby attempted to
follow her mother into the house, and
in its hurry fell into the tub. There
was slight hill near the tub and had
the baby been standing on this knoll
when she tumbled she would have
dropped into the water.
Another theory is that the child,
out of curiosity attempted to look in
to the tub, was burned, and in its
struggle to get out Of the way fell in
TO the boiling water.

MAPPING cow HERDER
SPENDS DAY ON HILL

Just at sunrise yesterday morning
Rube Beers, foreman FORE. Aft. Miles,
the stockman, mounted his trusty
broncho and galloped out the Bloom
field road for Benton Hill where he
had been instructed by his employer
to await the arrival of large herd of
cattle that were being trailed into the
Cane.
Time grew heavy on his hands, and
it is believed that he wandered into
the heavy timber surrounding the pro-
montory on which he was standing
watch, and while listening to the
twittering of the birds, or perhaps
asleep, the lowing herd was driven
past and brought on into the Cape.
When Mr.. Miles was advised ,that
his cattle had been delivered he look
ed for Mr. Beers, who had been in
structed to place the stock in corralls
in the west edge of town. Not being
able to see him, he inquired of the
men who had made the delivery, and
was informed by them that they had
seen nothing of the delinquent fore
| man.
Later information developed the
fact that Beers had returned to his
assigned station on top of Benton
Hill, and at noon was sitting by the
roadside with his chine between his
hands patiently awaiting the approach
Of the collected bovincs.
At four o'clock in the afternoon an
other report was received stating that
he had shifted his position slightly,
but Wa, still waiting.
. Al dusk he had failed to return, and
/ Mr. Miles stated that nothing but
hunger could drive him from his post,
and that he expected him back in time
for braa,fa,t this morning.

"GRANDMA" MORRISON
DIES AT A u SIT N

Cedar Rapids, April 10.-Mrs. Violet
Morrison, guardian angel" OF the des-
TIMES of scores of railroad men IN
Iowa and Minnesota for over thirty
years, is dead. She was known to hun
dreds Of men. whom she called her
boys" as Grandma Morrison, and her
passing was marked by an ache In the
hearts of many to whom her presence
acted as constant benediction. She
was buried in Austin, Mimi, where she
made her home after she became too
old to longer maintain homes for the
railroad employees.
From 1880 to 1885 Grandma Morrison
kept big house at Greene, Iowa. a
division point on the Rock Island
where railroad men dropped off" their
runs. When the lewiston point was
moved to Rockford she moved her
boarding house because, she said. her
boys had become a part Of her life and
she had to be where she could watch
them constantly Later the station
again was changed, this time being re-
moved to Albert Lea Mimi, and Mrs
Morrison moved her quarters once
more.
When trains We're late and the
crews were hungry, tired and ill-tem
pered because of the delay, the grand
mother" Of the boys always was wait
ing up for them and the lateness OF the
hour never kept her from preparing a
hot meal for them. She always met
them with smile and had kind word
for each of them.
