Hiram Heki Killed and Son Was Seri.
ousIy Injured.
Hiram Heki, a farmer whose home
is two and one-half miles north of Ed
dyville, is dead and his ten-year-old
son is unconscious and in serious
condition as the result of having been
struck last night by Rock Island pas
senger train No. 204, about mile
from Eddyville, near the overhead
bridge on which the Northwestern
railroad crosses the Rock Island.
How the Accident Occurred.
The accident happened shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock last night. The train
was few minutes late when it left
Beacon and was racing across the
prairie at gait of about forty miles
an hour, when the engine struck the
wagon in which Heki and his son We're
riding home from Eddyyille. The
horses had evidently crossed the track
for the engine seemed to crash into
the wagon, injuring one of the horses
only slightly. The wagon was crushed
and in the debris was found the man
and the boy
Extent of Injuries.
Hekis injuries consisted of frac-
ture of the skull, his head being liter
ally crushed on one side. The side OF
! his body was cut and seemed to have
been pierced with a stick, for there
was hole in it fully three inches in
diameter. The boy was unconscious
and is still in the same condition, and
the extent of his injuries is unknown.
The Man Dies.
The man and boy We're taken on the
train to Eddyville, where they We're
taken to the residence of a brother OF
Heki, and DR.. Vance of Eddyville was
called to attend them. Although the
man had seemed at first to stand a
| good chance for recovery, he grew
worse and finally died at o'clock this
morning. The boy was at last reports
still alive, but unconscious and his re-
| covery is doubtful
/ No Explanation.
No explanation for the accident is
forthcoming Some think that the
man and boy We're both asleep in the
\ wagon and that the horses may have
stopped on the railroad track or were
just crossing as the train came along.
4 Heki and his son had been at Eddy
vile during the day and started for
home in the evening. They had near
/ ly reached their destination when the
accident occurred. The horses, as
stated above We're, but little injured,
although the wagon was reduced al
most to splinters. The animals both

wagon. The train was delayed about
an hour by the accident
