EIensburg, Wash, March 23.-Two
human lives were sacrificed in the
Northern Pacific railroad yards at this
station SUNDAY night, as a result OF
the carelessness of the victims.
The dead:
Michael Hunt, waiter, of Tacoma,
Wash.
Frank McCluskey, waiter, of Lake
City, Ore.
A refrigerator car standing in the
ward was discovered on fire. 1t was
quickly switched to where the fire
could be extinguished. and an inspec-
ton of the car revealed two dead
bodies badly burned.
The conditions showed that the two
men had gone into the car for n
nights sleep had procured coal and
built a fire in a tin can, lying down
ON either side of the can to sleep.
The car being air tight, the fumes
from the coal had smothered them.
The floor of the car took fire and
communicated to the clothing of the
men. The arm of one man was burned
thigh of the other badly burned.
Papers were found in the pockets
identifying one as Michael Hunt, a
member of the cooks and walters
union of Tacoma; the other, Frank
McClOskey, a member of the cooks and
walters union at Lake City, Ore.
One of the men had been seen

men were in good standing and

Kansas City, Nov 22.-Throughout
the central west the cities are taking
a greater interest in the possibilities
OF park development suited to their
geogr& phical characteristics, Chicago
with its admirable lakeside and prairie
reservations; Detroit, where a wise
foresight has utilized the most beauti-

its doors; Toledo, gradually evolving a
stretch of picturesque loyeliness along
the Maumee; Omaha with her broad
acres of Riverside park and her big
zoo; Memphis. now preparing to create
one OF the handsomest systems Of
parks to be found anywhere in the
Mississippi valley; ST. Louis whose
great exposition will leave evidences
behind it in a beautiful city. Madison,
