Hall. Tuesday night, shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr. Hall, who Is past 72 years of age, and whose home Is la Monmouth, came to Independence that morning anil faillnp- tn makn connections with the 6:15 train returning home, he fetarted to walk to that place later In the evening. When he reached Talmage station he became exhausted and fell face down across the track. How long he remained in this con dition is not known, but it is cvt- dent that he fell there after the 8:30 train coming from Monmouth had passed as he probably would have been instantly killed. Mr. Moseman was awakened from sleep by the moans, and dressing went to the barn to see If his cattle were in trouble. Mr. Huntley, keeper of the Polk county poor farm, had also been attracted by the strange sound, and traced It to the spot where he found the old gentleman In a neipiess conaiuon. rie cunea uyuu Mr. Moseman to assist him and the elck man was taken to the latter's home, where he was made comfort able tor the night. It Is said that partial paralysis. probably brought on by excessive drink, was the cause of his failure to reach home. Had he fallen a little earlier In the evening the old gentle man would never have reached ome alive. Mr. Hall is a pioneer of Polk cor" ty, well known on account of havl-?: served as county sheriff In an jar:y day. Mr. Fredrlckson, a farmer from Luckiamutte, was In the city yeater- r
