Io,Da's Arn,less
Superintendent Of
Schools Makes Good

Webster City. Oct 2s.-The Educa-
tional Digest for October, an educa-
,tional journal published at Anamosa in
the interest Of school boards, superin-
tendents. teachers and patrons of the
Iowa Schools contains an article
headed "Iowa's Armless County Super
intendent." Webster City and Hamil-
ton county people need not be told that
this relates to our we'll known county
superintendent Of schools, L. +. Snow.
Accompanying the article is also fine
picture of Superintendent Snow. The
sketch is Of interest to our readers
ard is as follows:
Ed r. Snow, the arrhless school,
master Of Webster City, Iowa, though
deprived of the use of both arms has
won high honors in his chosen calling.
Superintendent Snow Is one of the best
known educators of his state and he
Is also one of the states best penmen.
+ He has three times been elected county
superintendent Of schools in his home
county.
When a baby, Snow fell into the
path Of a train, which deprived him of
both arms. However. he does not find
ut so very difficult to dress himself,
can shave himself quite as well as any
man with two sound arms. The run
about which Superirt endent Snow uses
quite extensively in his school work
has foot throttle, and it's owner has
learned to crank it with his foot.
II never think about my affliction."
said Superintendent Snow to friend,
$50 l hardly know what to say about
it,"
From the History Of Hamilton
County by r. @. and J. w. Lee: "On
the 26th of June. 1873, little Eddie
Snow, a child about twenty months of
age. strayed from his parents door
yard which was near the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, about three and a half
miles west Of Webster City, and got
upon the track just as the afternoon
passenger train was going west. The
train was late and running at higher
rate of speed than usual. and the train
men did not see the little fellow in
time to stop before the train reached
and ran over him He was, Of course,
too young to know that there was any
danger and made no move to leave the
track. The engine and three or four
cars passed over the little chap before
the train was stopped and he was
taken out from under 1t fearfully mutt
lated.
His mother, who had just missed the
child, stepped out to look for him and
saw him on the track at the time the
train struck him. The conductor took
the child and his mother upon the train
and returned to Webster City where
both arms OF the injured child were
amputated, the right arm just below
the elbow, the left near the shoulder.
Notwithstanding his terrible injuries
and the amputation Of both his arms,
the little fellow survived and is now a
strong and hearty young man. A suit
was brought against the RAILROAD COM
pany for damages, but the first jury on
the trial disagreed and before second
trial tho case was settled by the railroad
company paying to the child's guardian
for his use and benefit, s1,500, and pay
ing the costs already made
