ACCIDENT ON THE RAIL.
One Man Killed and Two or Three In
jured.

An accident occurred last week on
the Omaha and Republican Valley branch
of the U. P. railroad, resulting in the
death Of the fireman and badly injuring the
engineer and brakeman, besides the de-
s:ruction of considerable property.
The train was mixed one, consisting of
freight train with a passenger coach at
tached, coming toward Omaha. When
about four or five miles from Wahoo team
belonging to a farmer became frightened,
presumably at the train, and started. No
one was In the wagon at the time and no
one had hold Of the reins. The public road
runs along near the railroad track, and
down this road the team ran, until they
finally switched over ON to the railroad
track ahead of the train. They had run but
short distance until they reached culvert.
In attempting to cross it one of the animals
stepped between the ties and fell. The en-.
gineer saw them and attempted to stop his
train, but was too close to do SO before
striking them. The engine gave lunge
and plunged down the embankment, taking
with it the tender and several fat cars.
The fireman, Ernest Gould, was caught in
attempting to get out of the way. and was
crushed and mangled in a horrible manner,
causing almost instant death. The engi-
neer and brakeman were also badly In
jured.

Foot and Mouth Disease.

1t is stated now that the disease,
among cattle near Neosho1 Falls, Kansas,
is veritable foot and mouth disease, but il
is stated that it is not only not spreading,
but is thoroughly quarantined and praeti--
cally stamped out. DIR. Laws, of Cornell
university, perhaps the best veterinarian in
this country, together with DIR. Halcomb,
state veterinarian, and members Of the
state sanitary commission, are making a
thorough investigation of the matter, but
whatever their report may be, no fear is
appreheDded that the disease will spread,
as it has been clearly shown not to be con-
tsgious and all cattle affected are complete
ly Quarantined.
