STEAM SHOVEL KILLS WORKER.
Boone Man Crushed to Death in Acct
dent at Ames.

Ames, Aug 19.-John Wierling, OF
Boone was instantly killed and Ray
Thompson, of Boone was injured,
when a steam shovel tipped over on
the interurban grade, west and south OF
the Country Club grounds, yesterday.
The machine was standing on curve
where one rail Is higher than the other
when at attempt was made to shift the
heavy boom and too much weight was
thrown on the low side with the re-
suit that the machine tipped over.
Wierling was employed as shovel
err and from the position In which his
body was resting when 1t was uncov-
cred he must have been in the act OF
jumping from the end of the fiat car
on which the machine was resting. He
was caught by one corner of the car
and was terribly crushed. 1t was nee
essary to raise the end of the car and
shovel out pit beneath the body be-
fore 1t could be removed.
Thompson who was fireman on the
engine operating the shovel, remained
at his post and received some bruises
on his back. Engineer Kelley and a
helper were also on the engine and
were thrown clear Of the wreck and
miraculously escaped without. injury.
The machine Is half way down the
side Of the steep grade and appears
to be badly wrecked, the fiat car on
which it was standing is bottom SIDE
up with the wheels torn loose. The
machine weighs over sixty tons and will
make hard job for wrecking crew
to get it out Of the ditch. 1t had been
used in widening the cut south of the
Country Club and had but recently
been purchased by the Fort Dodge,

CONSOLIDATION IMPROBABLE.

pose Conference Merger.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 10. - The Des
Moines conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church will meet in annual
session in Des Moines the second week
in September. the sessions beginning
Sept and continuing until the first
of the following week. Bishop Frank
Bristol, Of Omaha, will preside. Bishop
Henderson, who is at the head Of the
committee on evangelism for the Meth
.odist church, will be in attendance.
In addition to the regular confer
ence Of ministers there will also be a
conference Of the lay members, of the
church which meets once in four years.
One Of the important matters Will be
the election Of six laymen to represent
this conference at the general confer
ence which il to be held at Saratoga
Springs n. Y, next year. Six minis
tiers will be selected from the minis
tArial conference Among the laymen
who are mentioned for this honor are
Frank Dunning, of Bedford; 8. II.
Amos, Of Garden Grove: E. d. Samp-
son and H. r. Howell Of Des Moines.
The question of the consolidation Of
the Iowa conference and the Des
Mofnes conference probably will come
up again. This was proposed last
year It is probable that 1t will be
defeated It would mean the union
into one conference Of the entire south
ern half Of the state. The principal
objection to 1t Is that each conference
has its own school. the Des Mcines

PRISON FOR sooTLEeeER.
Sioux City Man Sent to Penitentiary
For Contempt Of Court.

Sioux City, Aug. 19.-Mike Flana-
gan was sentenced to one year in the
Fort Madison penitentiary by Judge
George Jepson yesterday for violat-
ing a liquor injunction. 1t was the
first time in the history of the state
that a man has been sent to prison for
bootlegging.
Prison sentences for bootleggers
We're made possible by the enactment
of a statute by the last legislature.
Judge Jepson is the first iurist in Iowa
to invoke the new law, which became
effective July 4.
The court, before passing sentence,
scored FLANAGAN for his persistent vio-
lations of the liquor laws. He de-
clared Flanagan had paid no attention
to the law, believing that he had a
right to violate it. The time had come
when Flanagan must obey the state
statutes, the court said
Judge Jepson expressed the opinion
that a year at Fort Madison would be
more beneficial to Flanagan than
eighteen months in the county jail. At
Fort Madison Flanagan can find en-
ployment which will benefit him when
his time expires, the judge said. but
If he was to stay in Jail he would be
idle during the time of his imprison-
ment
AS Flanagan's prison sentence was
based on his being found guilty Of
contempt of court after having been
enjoined from bootlegging. Judge Jep-
son declared there was no appeal
bond. F'lanagan's only possible hope
of evading the prison sentence would
be for his attorney to obtain writ
from the, supreme court compelling
Judge Jepson to certify the proceed
ings to the higher court. The higher
court could either affirm the judge or
set his sentence aside and order a re-
hearing. Application for writ of
certiorari will not be made. Attorney
Owen stated.
Flanagan drew prison sentence for
selling liquor at public dance at Ser
geant Bluffs on August I. Mayor
Gray and score of Sergeant Bluffs
citizens testified in the district court
Monday that in a raid on Flanagan's
wagon near town they found a travel
ing saloon, and seized several cartons
of beer.

EARLINe SEES BIG CROP.
President Of Milwaukee Foresees al
YieIds in Iowa

Sioux City, Aug. ia. j. Earring,
president of the Milwaukee railroad, in
company with three other officials,
passed thru Sioux City yesterday aft
ernoon in his private car en- route to
Chicago. The party has been on a tour
OF inspection for the last ten days. Dr.
vision Superintendent l.. B. Beardsley
met the president and his associates
at Mitchell, S. %, and accompanied
them to Manila, Iowa.
II just came out to see those fine
crops" said Mr.. Earling. "The small
grain is the best that have ever seen
thruout South Dakota, Iowa, Mime
sofa and Montana"
He said the railroad business has not
been up to normal during the summer.
He implied that this was true both as
to passenger and freight traffic. He
attributed the dullness to general bust
ness apa thy There has been no re-
cent Improvement in that respect he
said.
President Earring said that passen-
ger business has been showing some
Improvement during the last three
weeks Until that time it was disap-
pointing The coast business has not
nearly come up to the expectations
Of the company.
Our freight business has been back
ward this season because of the fact
that the weather conditions have de-
layed the grain movements" said the
rail chief. There has been some ship
ping within the last ten days. but it
will be about two weeks before the
main movement of grain will begin"
Possibility of early improvements by
the railroad in Sioux City was denied
by President Earring. He said the
company is not now contemplating any
extensions here. The ballasting and
grading which is being done on the
roadbed on the Sioux Falls line is
progressing satisfactorily.
The other officials in the private car
with Mr. Earling We're: II. r. Williams,
vice president. Of New York; David L.
Bush. vice president, and P. c. Hart,
general manager, of Chicago.

Activity Of Members Of Congregation
in Enforcing Laws Thought to Have
INSPIRED Vandalism Bibles and

moved From Clock.

Muscatine, Aug. 19.-Breaking into
the First Congregational church during
the night, rendering large bible up
on the pulpit useless, mutilating num-
erous hymnals, tearing the hands from
two clocks and destroying other church
property, one or more vandals perpe-
trated an act of vandalism that has
exercised the members of that church
and the police department to an I'M
wonted pitch. The breaking into OF
the edifce was discovered yesterday
by the Rev. A. G. Graves and imme-
date reported to the police.
That the motive for the vandalism
was revenge, is the belief entertained
by both the police and the clergymen
of the church. The Rev. Mr.. Graves
and prominent members Of his church
have played an active part in cru :
SADIE against the liquor traffic in this
city in connection with the law en-
forcement league. The opinion OF the
officials is prevalent that these actiNt-
ties actuated the destruction OF the
church property. Nothing was taken
from the church. the vandal or van
t1als combining their attention to the
bible upon the pulpit and hymn books.
Hands From Clock.
Significance is attached to the mall
treating of two clocks, one in the
young peoples department and the
other in the basement The hands of
both were rem owed altho no effort was
made to stop the timepieces. 1t Ms
believed that this act was committed
as warning to the church that 1t was
time to stop it's activities with the law
enforcement league.
"It was either an insult to the
church or spitework upon the pastor
and members" declared the Rev. Mr..
Graves. He asserted that it was very
peculiar in taking off the hands of the
clocks The clergyman minated that
his efforts to put a stop to the Illicit
liquor traffic here may have been the
inception Of the outrage upon the
church. VIII
Deputy Marshal John Richley, who
made an examination Of the premises
concurred IN the opinion that revenge
was the motive for the vandalism. he
expressed the belief that but one man
was concerned in the act. An imprint
Of a hand was found upon window
sill in the church basement.
Entrance was gained thru g. window
thru which coal is placed into the
church. Thru the furnace room the
van6Hal or vandals made their way in
to the church auditorium.
A reward for the apprehension OF
those who committed the vandalism is
expected to be offered.
