KILLED BY A TRAIN

Illinois Central, Dead.
A Train Near The Passenger Depot Backed
Over HIM This Morning
Died at 9i45
FORMER HONE IN CINCINNATI.

Captain Jack" White, a familiar
employe Of she Illinois Central, whose
duty is to work about the depot yards,

ried by him as a receptacle for the
trash. TIE train backed upon him

two years for the Illirois Central.
He has a father in Cincinnati and sew
eral sisters in CovingtoD, and one in

to carry him everywhere in the yards,
and he was well known among the
railroad men. He lived IN Little's
addition, and has no family.

pairing to hold an inquest over the re.
mains, which have been taken to

WATERFOWL, S. D., Feb. 25.-Much in
terest is felt in this city, and in fact
throughout the WATERFOWL district,
as to the outcome of the fight for the
receivership of the land office here.
Word was received from one OF the
states representatives in last
week to the effect that the delegation
had agreed on the man for the place,
but for some reason the name has not
been sent in, and there is no one in this
city who knows who the successful
candidate is.
The applicants for the place are G..
w. Case, the present incumbent; II. J.
Mowrey, the Rev. T.. Il. Boggess, all
of Watertown, and Judge Gurnsey of
Altemont; Logan Berry of Clark, and
possibly Frank Crane, the present clerk
OF the state supreme court and chair
man Of the state republican committee.
The local republican organization has
been divided between Case and Now
rey, M. r. Baskerville, the state COM
mitteeman, being the supporter OF
Mowrey, and DR.. Finnerud, chairman
of the committee, being in favor OF
Case.
: ccording to the letter sent from
Washington the delegation had taken
the matter in its own hands, owing to
the failure Of the party representatives
at home to unite on a man, and 1t hopes
1t has chosen for the best interests OF
the party. Singular as 1t may seem,

believes he is the man agreed upOn.
