It certainly take gall for the 'junior

Claimed a city hall man. "It hasn't even
the'me'lt of originality and has been
poaed and exploded over and over. It was

Person.
Besting himself on the top one of the
three stone steps leading to the Cochran
family burial lot In Falrview cemetery,
Council RlufTs, a man as yet unidentified,
committed suicide last evening by shoot
ing himself. The act was not wit
nessed by any one. but the shot was
heard by Kmll Rosch of 211 Fifteenth ave
nue, who, with his wife, was in an
other part of the cemetery, and a few min
utes later Miss Anna Bpauldlng of Avenue
F, with her little nephew, came iipon the
body of the dead man. Mr. Roach and
Miss Bpauldlng at once notified Charles
Foster, the sexton, and he In turn notified
the authorities. On Instructions from Cor
oner Trey nor, the -body was removed to
Cutler's undertaking rooms.
The suicide is a man apparently 80 or
3a years of age, but there was nothing
found on him which would afford anv
clew to his Identity. He was about five
feet six Inches In height, of medium build
and weighed about HO or U0 pounds. He
had dark hair, evidently recently cut.
brown eyes, reddish brown moustache and
regular features. He had apparently been
recently shaved. His clothing, while not
that of a laborer, was cheap and badly
worn. He wore n black slouch hat. black
suck coat, dark trousers with light stripe.
blue hickory shirt, black hose and heavy
black shoes, the soles of which were thickly
studded with nuill brass nails. There were
were no underclothes.
The ded was committed with an old,
rusty bulldog revolver, which was found
clasped In his right hand. The revolver
contained two cartridges, one exploded and
the other not. In the man's coat pocket
three cartridges were found. The only
money found in the pockets was two
nickels. Two small apples were also found
In one of the pocket.
The man made every preparation for
taking his life. He had taken off his coat,
which was on the step beside him. to
gether with hla hat. He had unbuttoned
his ehlrt anfl opened It wide and then.
Judging from the powder burns on the
flesh, had preod the muzzle of the re
volver against his breast, evidently in
tending to send the bullet ' through his
heart. The bullet, however, entered a
short distance above the heart, piercing
the lung and passing through lodged un
der the skin of the back. After the ehot
the man fell back on the grass.
The only scrap of paper found on the
man was a card of a Kansas City, Mo.,
restaurant. On the back of this card a
name had been written In pencil, but had
been erased. Placed under a strong mag
nifying glass, the first name appears to
be "Frank," while 'the surnflme appear
to begin with an "R" and might possibly
be "Richard."

One of Omnhn'B Promi
nent Senator.
Al Sorenson wa the piece do resistance
last Sunday at Lake Okobojl, if a belated
dispatch from that resort may be accepted.
Some say the whole thing was an adver
tising scheme on the part of Mr. Boren-
gon advance agent, but when the real
erlousnesa of the Incident is known the
advance man will be exculpated.
Last Saturday evening. Just about candle
light, Mr. Sorenson was walking along a
pier at the lake., viewing the wonders of
nature In' the gloaming and smoking one
of those long cigar In a paper holder. All
was quiet along the water's edge. In the
near distance could be heard the soft
atraina of the hotel piano. An occasional
dip of an oar could be heard out on the
water, suggesting the presence of life on
the bosom of the lake.
Then there was an awful splash! The
echo of (he splash mingled with a cry of
"Help!"
'Man overboard!" rang throughout the
corridor of the hotel and along the shore
of the lake.
'Man overboar-r-rd," came back the echo
from the distant hills.
Dripping from head to feet, Mr. Sorea
son was fished out of the lake by many
willing hands. Some one ran for a barrel
on which to roll the senator," but a delicate
hint from the unfortunate man brought .a
bottle Instead of a barrel. He hadn't
swallow d a drop of water.
Mr. Sorenson had only dropped over to
the lake for a day or so and had but one
ult of clothes with him. He had a suit
of pajamas In hla suit case but then but
then.
TnV sequel to the fall In the lake came
on Sunday, when Mr. Sorenson appeared
In a borrowed suit of clothe made for a
man about five feet five In height and
weighing 140 pound. With the abridged
garments Mr. Sorenson sought the soli
tudes of the lake, appearing only at meal
time until his own clothe were restored
to their natural shape and state of use
fulness.
It wa the unklndest cut of all when
after the accident, Mr. Borenson said
"Al, I have always told you to keep away
from the water."

n.A A SEW ROAI1 FOR CRESTOI
Supervisors Grnnt Hlaht-of-Way for
Mae from Talroage. 1
CRESTON. Ia., Aug. ft.-Bpeclal.-The
1'nlon County Board of Supervisor have
granted to B. T. Imfur the right-of-way
through the county poor farm, located six
miles east of Creston, for a railroad track
which the said Dufur and his ansocintes
propose to construct front Talmage, on the
Great Western, to Creston. a distance of
fifteen miles. The consideration named i
tl and oni of the requirements of the
transaction Is that a railroad must be built
on this right-of-way before the year lniO,
otherwise the land will revert
county.
When the Burlington double-tracked their
line through this portion of Iowa the old
roadbed was abandoned the greater part
of the distance from Murray to Creston.
This land, under the laws of Iowa, when
abandoned by the railroad company for
a period of two years reverted to the own
ers of adjacent property. The company
removed the bridges, but did not disturb
the roadbed, which is still in very good
condition. Dufur and his associates have
acquired tho greater part of this old road
bed and they propose to use It In the
construction of a line of road between
Talmage and Creston. By utilising this
roadlied very little grading Is necessary.
and the fifteen miles of track can be built
very cheaply.
It is announced by the promoter that
a soon as a few details can be completed
work on the new line will be commenced,
and It is expected that the track will be
laid before snow files and 'that trains will
be run before January 1 next. There Is no
doubt but that this line will be operated
by the Great Western, If. indeed, that
company does not construct the line a
a branch of that road. At any rate, it
would spem that Creston Is now In a fair
way to secure another line of railroad
and that line will be the Chicago Ureal
Western.
