Body Found Lying Between the Rails
on Twenty-second Street, the Head Ter
rIbIy Mutilated-Unfortunat on HI.
Work.
August Kneuvels, Belgian, aged
50 years, who came to Rock Island
two weeks ago from Buda, u, met
terri bic fate last night in the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy railroad
wards, a switch engine and train OF
seven freight cars running over HIM
and crushing his head to a pulp.
The BODY was found at 5:45 O'Clock
this morning by James Watson, who
boards on Twenty-second street and
was on his way to work, walking
north toward Second avenue. The
body was lying between the rails OF
the Burlington track entering the
company's new depot grounds. Wat
son hailed Tony Harper, who was
passing on a wheel, and the latter
went to police headquarters and
notified the officers, who sum-
moned Coroner l.. V. Eckhart.
Kneuvels, since he came to the city,
made his home with his cousin, Mrs.
Ed Van Devoorde, on Sixth street and
Ninth avenue. He left there at l
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, saying
he was going to Atkinson, H., where
he had secured employment. The
supposition is that he became intoXi-
Gated and went to sleep under Il
string of cars on the Burlington de-
pot site. Watson said he saw him
last evening in the Burlington yards,
and he acted as though he had been
drinking.
How Fatality Occurred.
Joseph I. Supple, night yardmas-
Ter. said that at 1890 last night a
switch engine in charge of Engineer
William Johnson pulled the string
out into the main yards and afterward
returned five other cars into the de-
pot property. But he had no knowl-
edge of the accident until the finding
theory is that Kneuvels was killed
when the string of seven cars was
pulled away.
KReuvels was single. His nearest
relative is n brother, Arthur. whose
home is at liant, Mimi. The body
was taken to KnoX's undertaking
rooms, where it was prepared for
burial, and where the inquest was
held. The funeral will be held at .
O'Clock tomorrow morning from St.
Mary's church.
The coroner's jury, w. A. Giles,
foreman;J. ). Bruner, Charles Morri-
son, w. n. Hanna, q. w. Sample and
w. b. Bruner, returned a verdict
holding it as its belief that Kneuvel's
death was due to his own careless
ness.

Othsr Kinds of Festivals.

Rod j. Mcdonald. the amuse nent
promoter, who made Moline's fair a
success, was in Rock Island today
looking over the ground here. He
would like to put in a street fair or
carnival here the third week in Octo-
Der. following the Dubuque fair, but
how the proposition will be received
remains to be seen. There are some
who favor an attraction of some kind
on the street fair plan this season.
Others there are who think it is too
late for this year.
Clark &. Doughty, Mr.. McDonald's

at Schuetzen park, Davenport. two

APPENDICITIS AFFLICTs CATS
San Francisco Animal submits to the
Knife without Resistance.

Maltese cats are In large demand
among business houses not only because
of their beauty, but because they have
proved themselves to be fine hunters.
One Of the handsomest of these Is Tom,
a magnificent fellow belonging to a whole
sale grocer In lower California street. or,
perhaps, 1t would be more correct to say
that the cat owns the establishment He
spends his nights in useful labor, and is
sometimes for a considerable period found
regularly each morning with big dead
rat by his side, for. like most of the genu-
inely capable of his kind. he disdains to
eat his game. During the day he has
appropriated to his own use a nicely fin
ished mail tray on the office desk, and
lamp standing beside the tray is kept
burning for his especial benefit A fit of
indigestion very nearly carried him off
one day, and 1t became necessary to per-
form a surgical operation. to save the
noble fellows life. He seemed to know
that the veterinary surgeons lancet was
unsheathed for his good and he bore the
pain like a stole and without resistance.
Vying with Tom in beauty and intelli-
gence and his almost exact counterpart
in size and appearance is Joe, splendid
Maltese of Petaluma birth. belonging to
a wholesale boot and shoe house on the
corner Of Second and Stevenson streets.
Eyes OF amber, Il coat Oh SILKY Diue-Sray,
sinewy frame and leonine rather than
tigerish face. Joe is magnificent speci-
men of cathood. He not only answers
TO his name. but understands and will
obey simple directions issued by his mas
ter, jumping on desk or chair at his bid
ding or playing with cord strung across
the entrance in the office rail.
An instance of cat devotion of an extra
ordinary sort Is found In wholesale
dairy establishment on the east side of
Front street, near California. Here is
wee motherless gray kitten. so small that
1t can sit comfortably on ones hand.
In the store are five grown cats--commou
cats OF no pedigree, toms and Tables
and this elder band has assumed mater
nal care of the forlorn little orphan.
They watch II vigilantiy. seeming par
ticularly apprchensive lest II stray out
upon the street and whenever one of
them perceives him too near the open
doors the older fellow walks over to the
kitten. picks 1t up in its mouth and grave
ly carries II back and deposits II in the
rear of the store.-San Francisco Chron-
tcia.
