Mr.. Mathews had been in poor health
for three years but was able to be about

time, been intense.
He was born in New York and lived
later in Michigan, coming from there 10
North Dakota in 1882. He has since
been resident of Stark county save one
year in Montana in hope of benefting
his health. Last spring he returned and
has since been living near his old place
on Green river.
He was thrice married and had eleven
children, eight of whom are living in
the east. He was married to his third
wife, Mrs. w. NJ. David, in 1884 and she
and his step-chldren tenderly minister
ed to him in his last Illness
The funeral was held at his late resi-
dence at ten o'clock, Rev. p. A. Millard
of Gladstone officiating and the inter-
ment was in the Dickinson cemetery.
With MIR. Mathews death the county
loses another of its pioneers, we'll known

Injuries Livestock Industry,

The livestock industry in the west
ern part of the state is receiving a se-
we're setback because Of the prevail
ence of scab among cattle. Large cat
tie owners and men who control large
ranges and would like to stock them
with cattle at the present low prices,
dare not do SO because Of the presence
Of the disease, and as consequence
none Of the cattlemen are adding to
their holdings, at time when cattle
could be bought at an extremely low
price. and when tho profit to the state
and the stockmen would be large. Fur
ther. and more important than this,
there is danger that the portion of the
cattle country west Of the Missouri
river may be quarantined, to the great
disadvantage of all cattlemen on the
ranges. The presence Of scab has been
noted for some time, in isolated cases,
in cattle shipped in as stockers from
other stateS

ROCK ISLAND PASSENGER COL
llDES WITH CATTLE TRAIN
At WILLARD, KAN.

Kansas City, Jan. 6.-The Rock Isl.
and California and Mexico express
collided headon shortly after 1 a. m.
at Willard, Kan, fourteen miles west
of Topeka, with cattle train. The
whole train was demolished. Thirty
persons were killed and every person
on the train was injured. A relief
train that left Topeka for the scene
returned to that city at 1870 a. m.
with the dead and injured.
The wrecked train left Kansas City
twenty minutes late and at the time
OF the accident was running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour.
The train carried many persons for
Oklahoma, who had taken advantage
Of the homesteaders' excursion rates
It also contained through sleepers and
chair cars for San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
The wreck was one of the most Sc
rious that has happened on the Rock
Island system in years. Between Kan.
sas City and Topeka the Rock Island
uses the track of the Union Pacific
and as there are no general offices
OF either road in this city details of
the disaster were obtained with diff.
Guilty. Several reporters who boarded
the relief train as it left Topeka early
in the morning were put off the train
shortly after it started from that city
and the first details of the collision
came from persons on the wrecked
train after they had been returned to
Topeka.
Occurring as it did at small sta.
ton with few facilities for aid and in
, the darkness there was much delay in
eXtricating the dead and injured and
in caring for the latter.
The train was composed of combi
nation baggage and mail car, a regular
baggage car, smoker a tourist
sleeper and standard sleeper.
