Logan, Jan. 1.-THE Council Bluffs
correspondent to several daily papers
on Jan. Z, gave one of the most re-
markable fake stories that has APP
peared from western Iowa since the
alleged trip Of secret service men"
thru Harrison county.
Notwithstanding that Mrs Seldom
died at her home in Persia at o'clock
on Sunday morning of Jan. 3, and was
afterward buried at Prairie View
cemetery southeast of Portsmouth. yet
the Council Bluffs correspondent as
serts that she is still alive, but may
die as result of long sickness and
nervous shock following the narrow
escape of being buried alive II is
true that on Dec. 81 Mrs. Seldom was
unable to move or speak for eleven
hours, but her husband and children
knew that she was alive, and after she
rallied from the sinking spell she was
able to tell all that she heard In the
room, yet the story that "she heard

Davenport, Jan. 11.--Wilmer Craig,
II years old, was fatally injured Fri
day night about 5 o'clock on the Tenth
street hill near Grand avenue. In a
coasting accident, and died at o'clock
Saturday morning at the home of his
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse A. Craig,
1405 LeClaile street
He was coasting on small flexible
flyer sled and collided with big bob
sled. containing eighteen young people,
mostly high school students, piloted
by Joe Earll, 2104 Farnam street. No
one else was injured except Earll. who
strained one of his ankles slightly.
Tenth street descends at sharp
incline from LeClaire street to Sylvan
avenue, then rises at another steep
angle to fremont avenue. The hills
are paved. Coasters slide down one
hill and the impetus carries them part
way up the other hill. They climb the
rest of the way and slide down again
About 200 people, mostly boys and
girls, were coasting on the hill. A
general plan was being followed OF
lining up and all the coasters sliding
down. one after the other. When the
last party in the crowd arrived at the
top. the line was formed again. Earll's
party, it is claimed, was the first in
line. The bobsled was started down
the hill running west from fremont
avenue and passed beneath the electric
light where Grand avenue runs into
Tenth from the north. The bobsled
continued on up the other hill.
According to Earlfs statement he
did not see 1.-THE single sled coming
down the hill towards him until he
had started up the other hill. His
sled was in rut and he could not
turn out. He thought the Craig boy
would turn out, but thinks the little
tad could not control his sled, as he
rushed on towards him.
