State street crossing Of the c., M. Is
st. q. railway In Tama yesterday
came very near proving a terrible
tragedy to the family Of Henry
Schmidt, q Columbia township farm
err. Mr.. Schmidt recently purchased
a new touring car, a big and heavy
machine. He started to Traer to give
the new machine tryout yesterday.
When he approached the c., M. &
st. P. tracks in Tama long freight
train was passing. Like too many
others who have so foolishly done the
same thing, as soon as the freight
left passing room behind the cabOose,
he cut in with his auto, containing
himself. wife and two children. Pas
senger train No. 8 was just bowling
into town from the opposite direc-
ton and had been hidden from Mr..
Schmidt's view by the freight train.
Schmidt got on the track of the
passenger train just in time to have
the train hit the auto amidships, and
II was showed along the tracks for
about thirty feet, then hurled off the
tracks and about thirty or forty feet
farther. the front wheel hooking
about a large telegraph pole and
keeping 1t from being rolled over and
over and into standing train on an
other track.
Miraculously, all in the car escaped
serious injury. Mrs. Schmidt and the
two children. who were In the rear
seat. were badly shaken up and fear
fully shocked. and Mr.. Schmidt was
still at the wheel when bystanders
reached the wreck, but was unhurt.
The auto was practically demolished
On one side. both doors being smash
ed the engine. hood. fender and lamps
smashed. and the machine generally
wrecked. The wonder is that the
whole four were not killed. The fact
that tho car was heavy one. and
remained right side up against the

the saving Of lives and limbs.

I, Mason City, June at was a rude
awakening several Mason City men
had when they found that $2,22O
worth Of supposedly genuine old
Kentucky whisky, bought from SAM
pie. was nothing more or less than
unadulterated rain water, and they
realized that the smooth salesman
who dispensed the goods was, gone
whe-e the woodbine twineth, seeking
greener pastures.
The story has just leaked out, al
tho the transaction took place q few
weeks ago. The mysterious stran-
ger" something on the order Of the
parsonage by the same name Of car
toon fame. landed in town to seek a
field for his endeavors. He soon was
able to pick out those who might
fall for his game. and induced a
Z syndicate to invest In some fine
old stock which he had cached.
and which could be delivered only
under the cover OF darkness.
No Checks Go.
The stranger explained that be-
cause his business carried more or
less hazard, owing to cruel and un-
feeling ''guvment," he must have
cash in the transaction. Personal
checks from the buyers could not be
accepted. The sample OF the goods
was produced. and II was pronounced
the real article. It sparlsled right.
smelled right, tasted right. and pro-
duced the right effect. In fact it was
right.

So pleased were the prospective
buyers to obtain such fine liquor

money was paid over. and the place

cry was made, and the casks turned
over to their new owners, who proud

town.
Then came tho awakening. One
