Life CRUSHED OUT.

Over BY a e., |. &

WALKS INTO ARMS OF DEATH.

Fails to Heed the Warnings of an APP
Along the Track at Twelfth street
Saturday Night-Removed to Hospital.
Where He Dies.
John Brien, of Kellogg, Iowa, a
brakeman on the Rock Island road.
was run down at the foot of Twelfth
street Saturday evening by passenger
train No. on the r. I. & p. receiv-
ing injuries that resulted in his death
at 4 o'clock Sunday morning.
Brien was walking west on the main
track. The train. due here at 6:45.
Horn and Engineer George Miller.
Engineer Miller saw the man when he
and the train were probably block
apart, but as the bell was ringing and
the train moving slowly, gave no furth-
er heed to him, supposing he would
step aside before the engine reached
him. What business Brien had in
that neighborhOod at that time of day
his friends are at loss to know, I'm
less he intended boarding the Peoria
and riding to the Rock Island depot
on Fifth avenue, near which place he
roomed. But the further fact that he
- one so accustomed to the railroad
cars-should have been the victim of
such an accident seems rather strange.
Did Not Regain consciousness.
When picked up Brien was uncon-
scious. He was taken to st. Antho-
ny's hospital in the ambulance and
Drs. Z. NJ. Sala, j. p. Comegys and
C.. L. Foster called to attend him.
Brien's right leg was nearly severed
at the knee, while his face and body
were terribly bruised, and undoubted-
ly he was hurt internally. 1t was the
plans of the surgeons to amputate the
limb Sunday, hoping in the mean
timo to be able to revive Brien, but
death ensued before he fully regained
consciousness.
The remains were taken to c. Il.
Wheelan's undertaking rooms, where
they were identified by relatives and
friends of the dead man. Brien was
24 years of age and single. Funeral
services were held at 10 o'clock this
morning at Sacred Heart church, Rev.
Father Lockney officiating, after which
the body was taken to the home of the
deceased brother, Owen j. Brien,
where it Will be kept until tomorrow
morning, when it will be shipped for
interment to Des Moines. The de-
ceased's parents reside at Kellogg.
Coroner l.. V. Eckhart held an in
quest at the court house this after
noon, impanellIng the following jury:
j. A. Stom bs, foreman; j. Fl Fender,
Phil Miller, F. A. Smith, Otto Lincke
and j. A Walters. The verdict is:
That John Brien came to his death
by passenger train No. 8, engine No.

Measuring a Tree.

Surprising a woodchopper in the
Maine forest is told to get out a mast
for yacht. He EAows that he must
find n tree which is straight for GO
feet below the branches. 1t would be
very troublesome TO climb trees and
measure them with Il tape measure,
so he, without knowing it, uses prac-
teal trigonOmetry. He measures off
60 feet in Il straight line from the tree.
and then he cuts a pole, which, when
upright in the ground, is exactly as tall
as himself. This he plants in the
earth his own length from the end OF
his GO feet.
For example. if he is six feet tall, he
plants his six foot pole 54 feet from
the tree. Then he lies down on his
back, with his head at the end of the
line and his feet touching the pole,
and sights over the top of it. He
knows that where his eyes touch the
tree is almost exactly 60 feet from
the ground.-Weekly Bouquet.
