FOOT CRUSHED
IN COUPLING
Four Boys, Claiming to be From
Chicago, Meet With Accident
in This City.

A sixteen year old lad, giving his
name as Inor Givens, of Chicago
had the misfortune to have foot
caught and crushed Sunday night
between 6 and 7 o'clock, while at
tempting with three companions to
catch a ride on Northwestern
freight train.
The four boys, all claiming to be
from Chicago, were awaiting their
chance to catch on the train and
Givens had stopped to catch the rear
Of passing car. He swung himself
on but caught his foot in the COUP
ling Of the cars. He called to his
companions but they thought he
was feigning injury and did not go
at once to his rescue. AS soon as
they found he was really hurt, they
called brakeman, who stopped the
train, and the lad was carried to a
local physicians office where an x
ray picture of the foot was taken.
Strange to say, it was found that
no bones were broken although the
muscles of the foot were badly
crushed. He was removed to the
st. James hotel where it will be
from week to ten days before he
can use the foot.
One of the other boys has wired
friends or relatives in Chicago for
funds. The boys claim to have left
Chicago for Forest City where they
say they have work awaiting them.
However, they are without funds
and have been catching rides on
freight trains this far.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
-
SATURDAY NIGHT
Man Employed by Hanson & Tyler
at Fort Dodge Thrown From
Automobile.

Saturday night Harry Morris, one
of the mechanics in the Hanson
Tyler garage in Fort Dodge, receiv.
ed serious injuries from which he is
still delirious although hopes for his
| ultimate recovery are entertained. AT
about ten o'clock Morris started for
the country to pull in car and
when on one of the boulevards about
a block from Mercy hospital he saw
coming toward him Franklin car,
which advanced at a terrific rate of
speed. In order to avoid the oncom-
ing car, which seemed to have the
center of the street, Morris ran his
car up on the curbing, but was go
ing at sufficient rate of speed him
self that he was unable to stop be-
fore he struck telephone pole
which was directly in his path. The
impact of the blow sent the car re-
bounding back into the street where
it was struck side blow by the
Franklin car in which were six per-
sons. The force of the collision threw
Morris out of his seat onto the pave
ment where he alighted upon the
back of his head, inflicting several
cuts and possibly a conclusion. Al
though the young man has regained
consciousness once or twice, he is
delirious most of the time, which is
considered very bad sign. 81
The occupants of the Franklin car
were uninjured, although the front
of their car was wrecked badly.
The Hanson & Tyler car received
a broken wheel and had the front
battered and jammed, lights broken,
etc.
Morris was removed at once to
Mercy hospital in Fort Dodge where
he now lies in very critical condi-
tion. 1t could not be learned where
the occupants of the Franklin car
lived or what was their excuse, if
any, for going at such a terrific rate
of speed.

Will C0[0NIzF
IN Minnesota
Seven Webster City Young Men In.
terested in the Movement to
Get Homes.

That the pioneer spirit is as
strong now in the minds of young
men as it was fifty years ago and
needs only an opportunity to fan il
into flame, is proven by the fact
that there is in Webster City a
movement formulated and furthered
by seven young men to colonize four
sections of land in the western part
of Minnesota and start a town in
the center of it.
These young men have been work
ing quietly for the past six months
getting together the necessary capi-
tai and making the. necessary ar
rangements and by the first of Aug
ust the thing will be on firm basis.
1t is the plan to open up this land
for colonization and with each 60
acre farm bought, will be given free
town lot. The town is to contain
bank, general store, blacksmithing
shop, etc. The land is for the most
part prairie land, although some
timber land is included in the tract.
Should the venture prove success
full enough that all the land is soon
taken up, the promoters of the
scheme have an option upon an ad-
joining tract which they may obtain
if they find they need it. The young
men plan to go within two or three
years to the place and improve the
land for future occupancy by them
selves. The plan is a worthy one
and in these days when land is land,
especially in the middle west, such
an enterprise savors Of the spirit Of
their ancestors who carved for them
selves a home in the then western
wilderness. No real estate fakerism
is back of the enterprise, which is
purely a home-making project for
ambitious and Industrious young
men who realize the possibilities in
the undeveloped soil of western
Minnesota.

First of the Season.

Frank Kinman, residing on Stock.
dale street, is the first in this vicin.
ity, so far as the Freeman-Tribune
is informed, to be on the market
with home grown tomatoes. He
gathered about a peck this morning
and considering the character of the
season they are fine. He has abou,
seven hundred plants and although
a little late, on account Of the cold
weather and excessive rainfall, the
crop is going to be a big one.

STRIKE WHISKY
OFF DRUG LIST
go
Dispatch Says Drug Store "Bind
Pig" is Doomed After
Jan. l, 1916.

Washington, D. c., July 10.-The
drug store "blind Pig is doomed.
No blind pig" harbored by any
druggist is now SO bereft Of vision
that he will not be able to see clear
ly after Jan. /, 1916, that the game
| is up.
Sight is to be restored to the drug
store "blind pig" by major opera
tion performed by fifty-one Of the
foremost physicians in the United
States, constituting the National
Pharmacopoeia committee. The op-
Grafton which already has been per-
formed consisted of cutting whisky
and brandy from the new edition Of
the United States pharmacopoeia.
This means that whisky and BRAN
dy have been declared officially to be
neither drugs nor medicine. The
new edition of the pharmacopoeia
will be issued about Jan. 1, 1916,
and after that time brandy and
whisky cannot legally be sold by
druggists as medicine.
After that time it will be neces-
sary for the druggist to Danish whis-
ky and brandy from his store or take
out a retail dealers license and be-
come classed as a saloonkeeper. In
stead of paying only the $25 feder-
al liquor permit fee as at present,
he will be compelled, If he contin-
ues to sell whisky and brandy, to
pay the much higher local license
rates and comply with state and
local liquor regulations.
The action of the pharmacopoeia
committee is recognized as severe
blow to the liquor traffic, particu-
larly in "dry" districts, where it Is
next to impossible to obtain spirits
except in the guise Of medicine at
drug stores. The step also will put
out OF business a number of patent
medicines which practically are lit
tie more than whisky. or brandy and
are chiefly valued for that character.
No one is able to estimate how
many drug stores throughout the
country will be wiped out as a re-
suit Of this decision. 1t is generally
admitted that in "dry" territory the
number of drug stores is undoubted-
ly much larger than it will be after
it is impossible to sell liquor as med
ic'ne. In many localities, however,
many druggists have voluntarily
given up the saloon liquor.
1t is known that one Of the main
reasons why the revision commit

tee took action as it did is that COM
paratively few physicians now pre-
scribe liquor even as a tonic. The
number of persons who obtain from
their physicians prescription for
whisky or brandy is small. Even so
called "pure malt whiskies" will be
tabooed by the new order. They
cannot be sold from drug stores.
