CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Switchman Loses His Life in
the Yards.
He Probably Fell Asleep on a
Car Bumper,
And was ThOwn off by a Switching
Engine.

Edward Mills, employed in the Union
Pacific yards as night switchman, was run
over and killed last evening at tbs
o'clock.
Mills was a comparatively new man in
the service here. coming to this city short
" after the switchmen's strike IN Denver.
On last pay day he was discharged for
drunkenness, but was reinstated upon his
promises to abstain from drinking in the
future, and through the pleadings his
wife made in his behalf with the railway
officials.
About loon yesterday Yardmaster BeIrd
saw Mills in the yards in an intoxicated
condition and told him he had better go
home and 60 to bed. About halt past 3
o'clock Mr.. Berrd was taking a light en-
gine to the round house. Mills crossed
directly in front of the engine and tried
to jump aboard as it passed but missed
his hold and was thrown to the ground.
An hour later he was seen sleeping on
the platform off coal car which stood heal
the round house.
Shortly after 7 O'Clock this car with sew
eral others was shifted to the coal house
IN the eastern part of the yard. The
shifting engine crew saw nothing of Mills
but he may have been on the car and es-
capped observation as it was dark.
AT 7;l5 William O'Brien discovered
Mills on the second track near the oil
house. He was lying on his back with
his head to the north. His right arm
was on the outside and his left on the in
side of the track, His right arm was cut
off under the shoulder and his chest
crushed diagonally across to the top of the
left shoulder, his head being severed al
most completely from the body.
Mills was about % years of age and
leaves a wife and children. lie has.
while working here, been boarding at the
Occidental hotel, where he is spoken of
as a quiet, estimable young man except
when he was drinking.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Mills went
to Denver to pay her husbands parents a
visit. A letter came from her yesterday
saying she would be home today.
An ~inluest will be held this morning,
the ooroner's jury consisting of Dwight
Fisk, Warren Richardson and Frank
Deitrick, meeting at the Inter Ocean no

L JACK TARs.
One Hundred and Fifty of Them Pass
Through Cheyenne.

A Lpecial train having on board $50
officers and men of the United States
navy passed through Cheyenne yesterday
afternoon, bound TOR San Francisco.
The men comprise the force needed to
complete the crew of the new war cruiser
San Francisco. and on Saturday night
they will take their posts on board the
vessel at the Mare Island navy yard.
This is the first time the navy has been
able to transport its men in this way.
The army is authorized to go over all land
grant roads free of expense to the depart
ment, the items of EXPENSE being credited
against the debts of the road to the
United States, but the controllers of the
treasury have decided that troops
which occurs in the law, precludes the
navy from the privilege. The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company absolutely re-
fused to take these men to the Isthmus
and thence to California, aging that only
ten could be taken at once through the
foreign territory. Thereupon the chief of
the bureau of navigation at Washington
negotiated with the railroads, securing
favorable rates.

Frank tanning, a l3-year-old boy of
Lusk, was taken in charge by the Omaha
police yesterday. The boy had 1892. 40
in his pockets and was bargaining for an
assortment of revolyers at a junk shop.
He tolk a fake story of being on a trip
with his step-mother, who gave him the
money to carry as a means of safety. He
said he had his step-mother's permission
to stay over a day in Omaha while she
went on to Lusk forgetting to take the
money she had given him. The story
was looked upon as improbable and Frank
was keld BY the authorities until his par
ents could be informed OF his where

large circle of friends. Her children in

FREIGHT CAns ROBBED.
Goods Estimated to BE Worth Several
Thousand Dollars Stolen.


On last Thursday night freight cars
loaded with general merchandise were
taken up to Camp Carlin for want of track
room in Cheyenne, and lack of Transport
tation facilities to move them at once to
their destination. Ali Of the cars were
consigned to points farther West. Yes
terday morning the cars were removed to
the Cheyenne yards, where it was discov-
cred hat the seals on all the car doors
had been tempered with. Investigation
showed that apparently a very large
quantity of the goods. including whisky.
cigars, boots. shoes and other articles
we're missing. The exact value OF the
goods, or even their quantity, cannot be
definitely known until the matter is traced
up. but it is roughly estimated that be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 worth OF prop
erty was stolen.
The matter is now under investigation,
and If the quantity OF goods is as great as
it is believed to be the thieves can scarcely
escape detection.

THE YIADUCT.
The Union Pacific Company VIII
Bear Part of the Expense.

Mayor Riner returned yesterday from
Omaha, where he had succeeded in
smoothing out the viaduct troubles.
The Union Pacific officials assured the
mayor that they were satisfied that CheY-
enne was ready to do all that had been
agreed upon in the matter of the yiaduct
building, and we're well pleased with the
kindly feeling shown the road In every re-
spect by the city.
The management is DESTROYS of having
the Central viaduct built at as early a
day as possible, and will contribute TO-
ward its construction $1,000 in cash and
free freight for material. which will
amount to 50, 900.
The total cost of the viaduct will be
sol 900; with the contribution by the
company the net cost to the city will be
$55, 900.
The company officials are also anxious
to have the Snyder street subway made.
The estimated cost is 81. $50. Themes
street will be left open SO that the pro-
posed viaduct to meet the needs of West
Side residents and business men may be
constructed.
Now that vIaduct construction is again
a probability the question comes up
whether the bid made by Mr.. Keefe,
when bids were called for last spring,
should be accepted or new proposals
called for at the present time. In the
latter event Mr.. Keefe would manifestly
be at a disadvantage, as his figures tor the
work have been made public and are a
basis Upon which other contractors can
figure.
A special meeting OF the city council
will be held on Saturday evening to take
definite action upon the viaduct question.
