FROM ALL OVER IOWA
Anamosa – Mrs. Horace Story of Madison Township, this county, recently met with a peculiar and painful accident, which it is feared may result in the loss of her eyesight. Having occasion to opening a bottle of horse medicine and while in the act of removing the cork therefrom, a dense spray of vapor struck her in the face, burning her quite severely and rendering her at least temporarily blind. Owing to the nature of the injuries it cannot yet be determined what will be they permanent effect upon the sight.
