SUNBURY [Cedar Co, Ia.]
     Sunbury, Ia. April 26, Sunbury is a typical German village located about midway between Tipton and Davenport on the Davenport division of the B.C.R. & N. railway. It is one of the principal shipping ports of the division. While yet in its infancy this village promises many rare advantages. We have two general stores, a large implement house, lumber, tile brick and coal yards, a good elevator, two saloons and hotels, drug store, and with all the advantages this village occasionally sustains an attack of infantile colic due perhaps to the occasional outbreak of citizens' wrath. Each attack has been bravely beaten down and the shock survives.

TIPTON [Cedar Co., IA]
     Tipton, July 6- A serious accident occurred this morning near Charles Simmermaker's mill on the tracks of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway in town. Mrs. Myers, who lives on the Zuck farm, northeast of town, was driving towards the mill near where the locomotive was puffing steam, but not moving, when the horses became frightened and ran north along the track and threw her out, striking her jaw and face upon the railroad iron and breaking the jaw on both sides and injuring her in the back and injuring her internally. She was taken to the house of Peter Belgard, nearby, and Drs. Van Meter and Sansom were called. They decided to put her on the noon train and take her to Cedar Rapids, to the hospital, which was done. The railroad people got some written statements from eye witnesses of the accident. The lady had not regained consciousness when the train left Tipton at noon. Her little boy jumped out of the wagon without injury and her little girl was thrown out later, being but slightly hurt.
