VICTIM BURIED
Nephi Linsey, Killed by Whining
ton City Railway Co.'s Policy
of Economy, Laid at Rest.
NO TENDERS CAUSED THE GRIEF
Expenditure of Few Paltry Dollars
Would Have Spared SOrrowing
Parents Their Darling Boy.
Inquest to be Held
Tomorrow.
NO TENDERS CAUSED THE GRIEF

Nephi Linsey, killed in the prime of
his boyhood by the murderous policy Of
the Wilmington City Railway Company,
lies cold and stark in the grave in
Mount Salem Cemetery.
That grave marks the last resting place
of murdered boy, and the cause OF his
murder still exists.
The tears of that mother, as she sat by
the silent body in the humble parlor;
the silent grief of the father as he viewed
the mangled remains OF his son; and the
sadness of sorrowing friends as they
gathered to pay the last tribute-all this
would be unknown and not matter to
be chronicled, had the directors of the
Wilmington City Passenger Railway
Company expended few paltry dollars
in the purchase Of tenders to protect that
boy, and hundreds of other boys, who
daily pass in front of the onrushing
street cars on the streets OF this city.
But the protection for the lives of the
people was not purchased, and Nephi
Linsey fills his grave today victim of
the outrageous policy of economy pur-
sued by the railway company.
The boys funeral took place yesterday
at his parents home on West Second
street at 2 o'clock.
The humble home presented sad
dened appearance as the little funeral
party gathered in the front room OF the
house around the body of the murdered
boy.
In the sitting room the father and
mother sat and looked upon the two
younger children, all that is left to them,
and thought OF the terrible possibility
that if the street cars which passed the
door where not soon protected how the
remaining off-springs might be soon cut
down like their first born.
Short services were held, Rev. H. N.
Ewing officiating. The minister spoke
in touching words OF the untimely end
of bright life. The fathers helper had
gone and the mothers JOY had been
snatched from her in sudden and most
horrible way. He asked that Gods
mercy and blessing be bestowed on the
grieved parents.
The funeral was in charge of Under
taker Chandler. After the services the
little cortege proceeded to Mount Salem
Cemetery, where interment was made.
There in his boyish clothes and
placed in simple coffin, the murdered
boy was laid in mother earth.
A bottle of wine and tenders cost the
same, and yet at even this small cost
the railway company had refused to pro,
vide the protection to Nephi Llnzey and
his life was sacrificed.
Deputy Coroner Chandler has drawn
jury and will hold an inquest of the
remains OF the boy tomorrow. A large
number of witnesses have been sum-
moned and the death of Nephl Linsey
! will be thoroughly investigated.

CHICKEN BONE CAUSES DEATH.
While Eating Fowl Last Spring DR..
Black Swallowed Piece of Bone
Which Caused His Death.

The most peculiar, death that has ever
occurred in Dover was that of DR.. r. A.
Black, of Dover, who built the fine block
of buildings at that place called the

chicken swallowed piece of the bone
which became lodged in his intestines
and was not removed until last week.

found necessary. 1t was performed last

! BEDFORD, Ia, July 23.-(Special 1.-THE
election In this town on the proposition Of
voting a 5 per cent tax in aid of the Mime

in an overwhelming majority in favor OF
the tax. In one OF the four wards not a

less than fifty were cast in the negative,
out of a total vote OF over 450. At Gravity
the election was carried for the tax by al
most as large a majority. Surveyors are in

More Union Pacific Cars.

p. s. Hart Of Cleveland was in the city
on Saturday completing arrangements with
the Union Pacific for the building Of $50
dump cars for that company. The cars
will be built by the Rogers Car company
of Cleveland, and work upon them will be
started at once. The new cars will be
delivered during the summer and fall to
the Union Pacific at Omaha, and will be
used for hauling gravel from the pits on
Sherman Hill, Wyoming, to the parts of
the Nebraska division dn which the roadbed
Is now being worked over and remade with
Sherman gravel.
Great improvement is being made to the
roadbed Of the main line in this state. and
large quantities of Sherman gravel are being
used for this purpose. The present supply
of cars for hauling the gravel has for a
long time been inadequate to the demand,
and the lack has been especially felt since
the Improvement Of the roadbed between
Grand Island and North Platte was begun.
With the delivery Of the $50 new dump cars
the work Of rebuilding the roadbed will
proceed much faster, as the Sherman gravel
will be more expeditiously handled from
the gravel pits to the parts Of the road
being worked over.

FO0TPADS AT WORK AGAIN
o. III. Nenbert, DruEgist at the Poor
Farm, In Relieved of
His Cash.

The second In the newly inaugurated
season Of holdups was reported last night
by o. II. Neabert, druggist at the county
poor farm. Neabert had remained down
town quite late and was returning to his
quarters at the poor farm shortly before
midnight when he met the robbers. He had
left the street car at L~eavenworth street
and followed the Belt line toward the poor
farm. AS he passed a point near Forty-sec-
ond and Mason streets he was suddenly
confronted by two young men who had APP
parently been lying down by the tracks. A
revolver was thrust in Neabert's face and
being unarmed he threw up his hands
when SO instructed. Neabert had Sc in
change about his person and the robbers
carefully located this amount. When Nea-
bert's pockets we're empty the footpads
left him without a word and ran out of
the cut. The occurrence took place between
two high banks and Neabert was unable to
distinguish the features of the robbers on
account Of the heavy shadow. He believes
they were negroes and quite young men.
| Neaberg wore a diamond ring and a gold
watch which the robbers apparently did not
wish to take.
