REMAINS
Dick White Crushed
by Car Wheels.
Dies in Court House Sunday
Night Hand and Leg Com
pletely Severed from Body.

Dick White, said to have been a
tramp, fell under the wheels of the
Northwestern's east bound freight, No.
26, on Sunday evening. His left leg
was cut completely off just above the
knee and the greater portion of the
left hand was severed. Finally he was
removed to the court house where he
died after a few hours of suffering
The accident occurred about 1880
o'clock. Mr.. ). Fl. Mahoney, agent of
the Northwestern, was almost the only
eye witness to the scene. He says
that as he was about to leave the
freight depot to go to the passenger
station, No. rs pulled out for the east.
Just as the train passed the high plat
form in front of the freight depot a
man who had been lounging about ran
toward the train, evidently wishing to
steal a ride. The mar grabbed for the
ladder of a passing car, either missed
it or lost his hold and fell beneath the
wheels. The crew ia the man fall
and the train was stopped within two
car lengths. When picked up the
blood vas squirting in torrents from the
injured mans knee and he was taken at
once into the freight depot.
Agent Mahoney at once tele-
phoned the company physician and he
was on the ground within fifteen min.

This was all that could be done until
the unfortunate man was removed to
better quarters. As the man was a
trespasser the railroad company was
not responsible for his care further
than to offer the services Of their ply
sician. The city held that it was not
responsible and a long hunt for the
county officers began. 1t was after
nine O'Clock when the wounded man
was taken from the freight house to
the court house where his wounds were
dressed and where he died. 1t is hard
ly possible that he could have lived
had he been promptly attended to but
it seems terrible to think that Denison
allowed u man to remain for more than
an hour and a half on the floor of a
freight house slowly bleeding his life
away. We do O criticise any one in
particular. Accidents always happen
unexpectedly. Christian Denison waS
at church and it was hard to find those
in authority: the question of whether
the city of Denison or the county OF
Crawford should bear the expense was
an important one. involving as it did
from $25 to $50. Mayor Wilson acted

pitifnlly long. The thought arises
that action might have been taken frs,
and the question of responsibility
settled afterwards.
1t would be well if the council and
the the board of supervisors should
take some joint action looking TOWARD
future emergencies. Any citizen
should be empowered to take necessary
steps for the saving of life: an emer
gency fund should be created which

settled later.

fellow breathed his last. There is nj
means by which he a be identified

patent to all to need the pointing of

evidently misspent life which ended 81

President Roosevelt and Eugene San

amazed
~ have a strong hand. Unconscious
ly sometimes when shaking hands l
grip ones fingers TOO firmly, perhaps,
but it would require some effort on my
part to use the force the President puts
forth when he shakes hands.
There was the quick. nervous grasp
about his handshake that told me it
was backed up by great physical
strength and tremendous energy.
"His manner, his appearance his
actions indicate power. AT glance 1.
or anyone, could tell that he was an
athlete. He looks like one. acts like
one. and / know he feels like one.
He has himself in splendid COM
mand. He is sure of every one Of his
muscles. He knows just what each can
do. He has tested them and he gets
some form of exercise out of every one
of his actions.
81 can imagine what his enthusiasm
would be in making n charge against
an enemy and how he could inspire
his men. On horseback l should deem
him invincible. And after looking at
the man l believe that there is not a
horse on earth that President ROose-
welt could not conquer The horse
would feel the moment Mr.. Roosevelt
grasped the bridle, that his master
was in the saddle.
THE Presidents nerves need no
treatment Probably they never will
need treatment. He knows the bene-
fit of exercise 1t is second nature to
him, and he will never give it up. And
so long as he exercises his nerves will
never trouble him. To know his
strength all you have to do is to look
at his neck and shoulders. Even in re-
pose his muscles stand out. Every
thing about him, in fact. indicates that
he is as sound as young oak.
II must deal only with superlatives
in speaking of President Roosevelt's
physical makeup. His tremendous vi
tai energy and powerful build simply
make him a man of iron.
My mission is physical culture, and
that alone. The athletic life that Pres
ident Roosevelt leads will do more to
advance physical culture and to raise
the physical standard of men and
women in America than all other infiu-
ences combined. With such an advo-
