Last night at the Toler. the Gilpins,
who are here all week, met a very en-

audience appreciauve, at the first of the
evening, but they were demonstrative
with thei rapplause as the entertainment
progressed.
Mrs. Gipin was put into hypnotic
sleep and many other things Of a similar
nature. Things above the ordinary was
given TO the audience and it is really
wonderful what the Gilpins do.

HIS DEAIH AN ACCIDENT
snch Is Verdict OF Jury ia Mark r.
Powers snnuest.

The jury in the inquest over the death
Of Marcus x. Powers, who died Sat
day night as the result Of injuries sus-
tanned by being struck by a Santa Fe
train Thursday night, returned a verdict
entirely generating the railroad of any
carelessness. The verdict statets that
Powers came to his death in an acct
dental manner.
VIM. Johnson, the engineer Of the train
that struck Powers, was present al the
inquest, and testified that he was not
aware that Powers was a deaf mute or
he would have stopped the train before
the accident occurred. He said that his
engine was going at the rate of fifteen
miles per hour and that it could not be
stopped suddenly or without its being
carried some distance by its own mo-
mentum.
He said that when he first noticed
Powers the train was some 300 yards dis
tant and at the time he was under the
impression that the man before him
would leave the track as soon as the
train had advanced closer. But when
he saw that this was not the fact he
blew his whistle at $50 yards, but even
Of this the man did not take an yheed.
He then thought that something must
he wrong and at once reversed the lever.
It was impossible to stop the heavy train
in time to prevent the accident. When
the engine struck Powers. the latter was
thrown about thirty feet in the air and
then landed at some distance from the
track He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and taken to the city
aboard the train. At the station he was
placed in an ambulance and then hur-
ried to the Wichita hospital
George Clark. the fireman on the en-
CINE. testified to the same things as had
Engineer Johnson.
Relatives testified to his presence in
this city on the day of the accident and
also about his intention Of going to Der
by to visit some deaf mute acquaint-
ances.
This ended the inquest and the case
was given to the jury. The latter was
out only short time when the verdict
was returned.
A post-mortem held upon the body at
the request Of relatives resulted in ind
ing that besides sustaining internal in
juries, Powers had also received frac-
ture Of the skull No other bones were
broken. A brother Of the deceased who
was notified as soon as the accident oc-
CURED took charge of the remains and
interment was made in Maple Grove Gem

portunity to look into the conditions
