A MUCH Needed Crossing.

Some time ago numerously signed
petition was presented to the city
council praying that the street cross
ing near the Katy stock yards, on Tab
lequah avenue, be opened and good
crossing be made at the railroad. This
is an important matter and ought to
receive attention. There is not sin
gle crossing on the railroad from the
Frisco north to the limits Of the city,
and one is badly needed.

ICLE OF NEWS NOTES FROM
THE INDUSTRIAL CITY,

A frightful accident occurred at
Benwood Junction yesterday afternoon
about one o'clock, resulting in death
to Israel OFT, an aged B. & o. section
hand. At the time of the accident he
was returning to his duties from din
ner, and on observing an approaching
train, stepped from one track to an
other in order to get out of the way.
AS he did so he was struck by switch
engine, which was being backed from
the round house. and was thrown un-
der the wheels. AS result he was
Literally cut in two lengthwise of his
body, and death, no doubt, was instan-
taneous. The body was taken care of
by the yard employees and later was re-
moved to Becker's undertaking estab-
lishment to be prepared for burial.
The deceased was fifty-two years of
age, and is survived by wife. He
had been in the employ of the r. & O.
Company for quite a number of years,
and was very popular among his fellow
workmen. Mr.. OFT was a resident of
Lower Benwood. His wife, who is now
on visit to friends at Cincinnati, Ohio,
has been sent for. The arrangements
for the funeral will probably be made
to-day.
