gine on The Lake shore Read,
KALAMAZOO, MICH, June 2S,-shoFtly
after noon to-day the local freight,
drawn by engine IS, on the Lake Shore
road, ran down a man near the wheel
works, and the result was fatal injuries,
The man is Edward McGuiCken, ablack.
smiths helper, in the employ Of D, o,
& II. o. Reed, The engineer oil the
train said that he saw the man Inst
ahead Of him, and whistleda and rang the
bell in plenty Of time for him TO step off
Of the track In fact he thought the
mans actions indicated that he knew
the train was coming and would step off
as 1t came nearer. II appears, however,
that McGpiGken did not step out OF the
way when the train drew nearer, and.
theni II was too late to stop, The man
was struck sqparely by the engine and
hurled into q pile OF ties on the side Of
the track, The train was stopped, the
injured man picked up, placed In the
Caboose and brought 70 the Lake Shore
depot, Drs, MCNair, Long and Stillwell
were soon on hand, and they found bad
cuts over the left eye Andthe cheek bone
was injured. Otherwise the body was
not mangled, 1t was not thought posi-
BILE for him to recover and Father De,
Gryse administered the rites Of the
church, but McGuicken was unable to
speak above a whisper,
The injured man Is said 10 have a wife
and three children in West Virginia,
McGulCken says that he heard no
warning given by the engineer, and
didn't notice either bell or whistle, The
first he knew Of the approaching train
was when he was struck,
The people In the house where Nc
Quicken lives state that they are posi-
tive that, the injured man was not In
toxicated,
McGulcken was until lately Waterman
at the Hempheld tunnel, Just east Of
Wheeling, and lived near Mt, dc Chaptal,

The Turkeyfoot Field Its De-

THE LUBRIcATEDP
Primitive TnFkeyfOot- OIL Discovery
Works ohanses-Bonuses, Royal
ties and PFoats-what the Z
Wells are Now Doing,

What is known as the 'TuFkeyioot'
oil field, Is a territory which has been
entirely developed within a year past,
II extends from Kings creek to the
neighborhood Of Fairylew, in Hancock
county, in the Panhandle OF West Yir'
ginia, It's name Of Turkeyfoot is said
TO have been derived from a little three
cornered piece Of ground lying between
the intersection Of several roads, and
which is supposed to resemble aturEey'
foot in shape,
A year ago the writer walked all
through that section, and there was no
voice Of the drill to be heard in the land.
Wells and coal shafts were the only
holes in the ground a census would
have then revealed. Then the iRhabi.
.tants little dreamed OF the skeleton der,
riCks 80 soon 10 take their ghostly stand
along hilltop and rayine, They had no
knowledge o 1.-THE walking beams antics,
80 uniform and monotonOus, OIL and
gas leases were an unwrittep page To
them, Greedy visions OF fat bonuses,
and one.eighth royalties, such as are
now the frequent and welcome visitors
at their farmhouses, had not then once
danced athwart their widest conCep'
tons.
They had no comprehension OF what a
fearful headlOng plunge for sixty quarts
OF nltro-glyceriHe, sunk 1900 feet 10 the
bowels Of the earth, an iron "go-deyil'
could make; nor Of the sullen explosion
which would follow, nor OF the rush Of
the golden oil.
