per and Fireman Nelson of the loco
motive pulling the train. and Frank
Hockburg. who was passing along at
the time. The train was in charge
of Conductor Swing and is due here
from Chicago at 6:S5. Both Engi-
neer Cropper and Fireman Nelson
saw Schneider on the track as the
train approached him. The bell
was ringing at the time and Engi-
neer Cropper gave several quick
shrieks from the whistle and re-
versed the engine, but Schneider
was walking slowly with head down
and seemed completely absor bed and
oblivious to all that was going on,
and looked up just as the locomotive
struck him. it being impossible to
stop the train in the short distance
covered in the time the man was first
seen.
The Last Seen Of Him.
Schneider, about 2 o'clock Satur.
day afternoon, left his home os.
tensibly to 60 to the lumber com.

to him, and that was the last seen
of him by his family. He was then
in company with neighbor.. AbOu,
II o'clock that night he was in
Thonn's saloon on Fifth avenue,
where he got into a bitter political
argument and eventually was
knocked senseless, but reco vering
later he went on up to Huber's sa
loon, farther east on the avenue,
and there he remained until nearly
morning, and in the course of con-
versation there spoke of his intention
of going to see his brother-in-law
William L. Miller, who lives southeast
of Moline. The next heard of him wa.
when he was crossing the Rock Isl.
and railroad tracks at Twenty-sixth
street in Moline, with the terrible
result mentioned.

had been in this country Is years.
He leaves q wife and five children,

FAIRS WILL STOLEN.
AND ALOT OF BLANK PAPER LEFT IN
ITSPlACE,

I
San Francisco, Jan. 29-The will of
the late James G. Fair has been stolen
from the County Clerks office. It's
lss was discovered by the application
of a stranger to peruse it. The envel-
ope which had contained it was found
stuffed with bank paper The will
had not been admitted to probate; SO
no copy Of it is in the record book Of
the County Clerks Office It was a
long document: 50 its contents cannot
De proved nor can Fairs signature be
proved It's loss upsets the plans of
the executors and the trust created by
Fair in his will Wills are kept in a
vault in charge Of Deputy Clerks
The theft is mysterious.
The attorneys for all parties inter-
ested in the case will meet in confer.
ence this morning. The County Clerk
says the last persons to see the will
were Detective c. J Stiilwell and sub
sequently w. H. Davis, employed by
Stillwel. 1t is now said that the only
persons who will profit by he loss Of
the will are the executors.
The Attorneys for the Fair children
say the will offered was a forgery and
was stolen in the interests OF the exc
cutors. The immense Fair estate is
now badly tangled up.
