CRUSHED BY
FREIGHT CARS
Ralph Gilmore Killed at Stock
Yards Sunday Afternoon.
LIVED BUT FEW MOMENTS
Iron Bumpers Passed Through
the Body.
LIVED BUT FEW MOMENTS

Ralph Gilmore was killed Sunday after
nom about 3 oscIocl1 by being crushed
between the bumpers Of two stock cars
ct the stock yards
Mr. Gilmore was an employe Of the
stock Yards and lives east o. the tracks.
He had some work 10 DO Sunday after
noon and had been at home to set a saw
and some other tools and was return
ing 10 the yards Near the north end
of the dock there was a small space
between the cars and he tried TO go
through this when the switch engine
which was working with the string,
pushed up and the man was caught be-
tween the bumpers.
Therc must have been very small
Epace between the bumpers when the
man started to go through, as his ap-
Dearance when found was that Of hav-
inc tried t. push his way thru ugh side
ways. his face being towards the south
il he had only glanced down the track
before he attempted to cross, he would
have seen the engine
The big iron bumpers passed entirely
through his body. just below the alb
EominaI cavity. Whether he made
sound or not when the train struck him
no one knows, as not a person was near
him when the accident occurred. When
he was released from the train, he only
uttered a moan, and it was but few
seconds until he was dead.
Only one person, boy = years Old
saw him and then not until he was hurt
This boy was Ed Gossi, who lives just
west Of the Cudahy packing house. This
boy and another were playing on the
dock when the accident occurred. The
bov said to reporter for the Eagle last
night;
II and Charles Kessler we're playing
on the dock when We saw man on top
Of the cars and heard the engine, and
looked down towards the engine and
there ! saw Mr.. Gilmore fall down be-
tween the cars. 7 did not see him be-
fore the train struck him and I ar first
thought that it was the man on top of
the cars that was hurt We went down
there as the men came running I'D and
carried the man away
Amos Williams. foreman Of the joint
freight depot at the stock yards, was
walking along the alley in the yards
when Charles Rowlee. another workman
called TO him that some one was hurt
and he ran to the dock and helped carry
the man off the track He stated to a
reporter last night that Ralph Gilmore
died almost as soon as they had moved
him from the track.
The engine that was working on the
string of cars was in charge of Engineer
IIarrop and Foreman Newell had charge
of the switching crew. There is nc
blame attached to the crew in any way
as the engine was working near the
south end of the yards and in plain sight
from the east side of the track from
which direction Mr.. Gilmore came Mrs
Fillmore stated TO the coroner yesterday
that she attached no blame to the rail
road company and Mr.. McCollister theI
decided not to hold an inquest.
Ralph Gilmore had been in the city

FIFTH WARD MATTERS
Something About Its Gains and
LOSSES During the Year.

The "anonymous" party is out IN a cir
cular against Councilman J A. Dawson
Of the West Side. No name Is signed TO
IT, II is a shot from ambush. one OF
those eleventh hour attempts at polit-
teal assassination which all decent peo-
pie. regardless OF politics, have long
since stamped with their disapproval
This circular asks: why don't the
West Side get some OF the enterprises
that come 70 Wichita7"
And then it answers its own ques-
ton this way: simply because the
councilmen from the ward do not de-
mand and insist that the taxpayers are
entitled 70 more than they are getting"
The idea OF councilmen being blamed
for not getting enterprises" Is some
thing new.
But is the inslnuation true? II IS not

sonville. Libby and Belle Isle and was
under fire Of the union glnboats at Char
lesion. s. c, and was in The celebrated
Wilson raid from Gravel Springs TO Sell
ma Alabama. He was always a brave
patriotic and SELF sacrificing soldier. As
a citizen he has been a fearless exponent
Of every principle which would support

and always has been m enthusiastic Re
publican. Mt Foose formerly lived IN
Wichita. but after the strip opened he
moved to Grant county. Oklahoma, where
