Keokuk, Aug. 8. Miss Charlotte
Mary Eagan. 10 years old, daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. James NJ. Eagan, 1919

automobile accident which occurred
Sunday night on the Lakeshore boule-

a heavy Cadillac car, which had

rushed to the Graham hospital here,
where she died at 1890 o'clock Sunday

ing was owned by Harry Rein, who
was injured. being thrown out when
the car tipped. Roy Rein was driving
the car, and Miss Florence Ward and
Miss Madeline Haubert were other oc-
cupants Of the machine. They were
more or less bruised and cut.
The Rein car was coming down the
river drive towards KeoAuk. Near the
Ballinger property, the driver at
the same direction. He struck some
mud in the road and skidded. The
car turned diayonally across the road.
and then seemed to right itself, and
then plunged into the soft earth over
a bank about three feet deep.
The car ploughed thru this earth fof
some distance. There were rocks which
had been thrown alongside the road to
protect it, and fence near the railroad
track. The car struck something and
tipped over. 1t evidently tipped clear
over, judging from the marks and the
position OF the car. Miss Eagan was
thrown out, and the car evidently
rolled on her, as her skull was crushed
and her back burned severely by the
exhaust pipe. When help came, the
car was lifted on one side and she
was removed from the wreckage.

was feeding a choice bunch of pigs
that Melted him around $4,000. This
year he tried it again and while the
pigs were growing into dollars, a

and convinced Mr. Blocker that it was
not enough for the hogs to be immune
from cholera but that under his treat
ment they could be rendered immune
to every other hog disease.
Mr. Blocker saw visions Of another
$4,000 and consented, after paying a
good round fee, to having his porkers
treated. as the saying goes-"there is
no good Indian but a dead one"
Neither is there hog entirely immune
but a dead one. The following day
the hogs began to drop off and on Fri
DAY forty had passed the dead line.
with the entire lot in close pursuit.
Mr.. Blocker has started proceedings
against the hog remedy agent.
