ASKS ELkHORN TO

Mrs. e. E. E. fit5eibbsn Sues
Company fer Death cf
jams Tuyer,

In a suit in the Federal Court
at Council Bluffs yesterday,
Mrs b. E. e. Fitzgibbon Of this
city, administrator of the cs-
tate of Jam IS Zuver, makes the
Fremont Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad company de-
PENDANTS in an action to recover
the sum Of $4,000 as damages
for the death of Mr.. Zuver,
who was killed in a wreck on
the Elkhorn near Nickerson,
Neb., in 1900.
One day during the early
part of December in the year
mentioned, Mr.. Zuver left the
Elkhorn shops in this city in
charge of a eight engine" en-
route to the west end. The
petition filed in Court states
the wreck in which he lost his
life was occasioned by the care
lessness of the Company en-
ployes who got mixed in their
train orders, Mr.. Zuver, it being
alleged, was given an order
showing the track to be clear.
In the collision Mr.. Zuver was
pinioned between the cab and
tender in his engine and died a
short time after being removed
from the wreckage.
The case has been docketed
for a hearing at the March
term of the Federal Court at
Council Bluffs.

by some persons the popularity of
the cat in Egypt has been attributed
to the fact that the animal was ,valu-
ab.e in Kidding the palaces of rats and
mice and also in hunting fowls. There
are several paintings in the British
museum. executed by ancient Egyp-
tiah artists. representing Egyptian
spor'smen in boats on the river Nile,
accompanied by large cats sitting OH
their launches in the stern. Other
pictures show the cats swimming with
birds IN their mouths after the manner
or retriever dogs. These pictures have
greatly p"rpleXed modern naturalists

aversion to water. and it is difficult to

A Verified story,

a group of railroad men in New Or

rides they ever experienced, says the
meS-DemOcrat. One man in relating
his experiences said: Across bayous
and through marshes we rushed like
mad. When we reached the Rigolets
the most remarkable thing | ever saw
took place. The train was travelling so
fast it sucked the water up behind it
as it rushed across the trestle, and
could hear the fishes groan us we flew
over this neck of the gulf Most re-
markable thing l ever saw in the way
of fast runs" And he lapsed into ST.
lence.
Il am glad you reminded me of that
rum" said another member of the
group. II had forgotten the incident.
