KILLED BY THE CARS.

Last Sunday evening while James
Rowley, the eleven year-old son Of
Mrs. Rowley was engaged in his usual
dangerous sport of climbing on and of
the switch engine as 1t passes through
the yards, his foot slipped and he fell
with both legs across the track, and
before the engine could be stopped it
had passed over and cut both legs of
Just below the knee.
George Lowry, the messenger boy
at the depot, was the first to discover
the unfortunate boy as he lay on the
ground unable to assist himself. Low
ry tagged down the engine; and with
the assistance of several Of the yard
men carried young Rowley into the
conductors room.
DR.. McCarty was at once sent for,
and on his arrival which was only .
few minutes, had the boy wrapped in
a blanket and conveyed to his home,
corner of Walnut street and Fourth
avenue, where he lay suffering intense
pain until Wednesday evening Of this
week, when death came to his relief.
Young Rowley, together with several
other small boys, we're in the habit of
stealing rides on the switch engine and
cars as they pass through the city, and
several times during the day on which
the accident occurred young Rowley had
been taken of the engine by Fred Boyd
and Fred Gardner, and warned against
a repetition of the dangerous habit
But the warning seemed to be needed
not until it cost him his life.
We hope this will serve as . warn
ng to his companions. Who insist in
climbing on the eazs while in motion.

In answer to the attack made through

In answer to the attack made through
the press upon A. T. Soule, the cores
pondent of the Hutchinson News says:
s'The attack of the Cimarron cores
pondents upon Hon. A. 7. Soule is en-.
tirely unwarranted as it is unjust. Mr..
Soule is one of the best friends western
Kansas has to-day, and has done more
to develop Gray and adjoining coun-
ties than the entire Cimarrou crowd all
put together. He is a remarkably pub
lic-spirited man and has spared nothing
in his endeavors to develop the great
west. One Of the greatest irrigating
canals in the United states or the world
was built by this gentleman.
