4 Characteristic Verdict Rem
dered in the Case of Poor Flan-
agan.
A large crowd congregated in the
vicinity of the city mOrgue yesterday
afternoon to witness the proceedings of
the inquest on the bodies of the victims
of the recent railroad disaster in the
Omaha yards. The inquest was called
by Coroner Quinn promptly at o'clock,
Yardmaster Foote being the first witness
sworn. He stated that 1t had always
been custom to switch and make up
night freight trains on the main
track. but that a flagman was always
placed at both ends of such trains to
guard against accidents. On the night
of the fatal collision he detailed James
B. Tyndall, switchman, to guard the
east end of the train. James B. Tyn-
dali, the switchman, testified that he
was told by Mr.. Foote to watch
the east end of the ''dead" freight.
train. He first noticed the approaching
special containing the shop hands by
the light from the coach windows, and
with his lantern gave the signal to stop
from the top of the last car. The engi-
neer Of the special did not appear to see
or heed his signals, and the train came
so near that he feared for his safety and
climbed down the ladder to the ground,
the while swinging his lam
tern with one hand. The collision
occurred within a few seconds
after he reached the ground. Engineer
Oliver Swandollar testified that, before
leaving the union depot, be wanted to
switch his engine to the other end of
the coach, but was told by YardmaSter
Flanagan, who was in charge of the
train, that it would not be necessary, as
they would be safe enough. Having
the utmost confidence in Mr.. Flanagan
he said nothing more. Flanagan was on
the front end of the coach. and he could
see his lantern all the time. receiving
from it the signal to go ahead and sig
mails to slacken speed at the Chestnut
street crossing and to go ahead again.
He saw no signal on the box car, but
thought it would have been impossible

Almost Positively Identified

A young lady from Minneapolis Wis
tied the morgue yesterday and viewed
the body which was found floating in
the river night before last. She almost
positively recognized the remains as
those of her father, Jamas Farnham,
groceryman of Minneapolis, who disap-
peared from his home on Stevens
avenue, near Lick street, in that city,
several months ago. Miss Farnham de
cided to show her mother portions of
the clothing from the coat and vest of
the deceased before claiming the body.
1t is quite probable that the identifca-
ton will be completed to-day.
