STRANGER KILLED BY A TRAIN

Body Of Unidentified Man is Found
Near Firth.
ADAMS-The body of an unidenti
fled man was found on the tracks OF
the Burlington road one and one-half
miles east of Firth. The face had
been so badly mangled that it is inn
possible to give description of the
features. He was of medium size and
the fragments of clothing indicated
that he had been well dressed One
of his arms had been torn off and the
body was otherwise bruised and lac
Grated.
1t is thought that he was struck by
the Burlington Flyer" No. 4, about
midnight. The coroner was called
from Beatrice and may be able to
identity the body by papers which may
be found in the torn garments.
An inspection of the tattered cloth
ing worn by the stranger later show
ed that he had no papers and card
bearing the name Of J. G. Dawson,
Lincoln, Neb., was the only clue to
his identity.
Some doubt is now expressed as to
the cause of his death The finding
of his hat half a mile west of the
place where the body was found leads
many to believe that the man was
thrown or fell from Burlington train

papers upon a piece of land found
without an owner Tear Preston, in the
east part of the county. The land was
adjoining the Nemaha river, of irreg
ular dimensions and contained about
twenty acres, valued at nearly 500 an
acre, and the doctor was considered
quite fortunate by his friends in strik-
ing the find" Now, however, comes
the government agent with the infor-
nation that the land belongs TO the
government, but was not of the strip
opened years ago for settlement and
therefore not opened for entry. What
ever funds are derived from the sale
of the land is TO go to the Fox and

Negotiations Have Been Pending

New York. May 14.-After nearly a
year of negotiations George ]. Gould,
on behalf of the St. Louis and Iron
Mountain railroad and the Texas &,
Pacific railroad and B. F. Yoakum on
behalf of the Rock Island Frisco sys-
tenn, have signed a contract by which
the Rock Island and Frisco system
will gain access to New Orleans by
trackage over the Gould system and
the Illinois Central The contract is
to run ninety-nine years. This assures
harmony between the interests which
for a time last winter were on the
point of disruption.
Use of the low grade Gould line will
be granted to the Rock Island Frisco
system from a point opposite Memphis
to point opposite Baton Rouge. BY
this contract the Frisco will be re-
lieved from building about 325 miles of
road through territory already plenti-
fully supplied with tracks.
From Baton Rouge to Orleans, about
25 miles the Illinois Central will be
used under a similar agreement to
that made with the Gould lines.
At New Orleans the Frisco and the
Southern railway will jointly occupy
new terminals which will cost approx
imately 81. 1000, 900.
Rock Island-Frisco trains will begin
running into New Orleans by the Mis-
sissippi river route January I, 1905.

TRAMP SAVED THE TRAIN.
An Instance of Weary Wanderer
Who Befriended Railroad.


Railroads as a rule have no use for
the great American tramp but there
are instances Wnere they have proved
themselves heroes and here is one of
them:
A tramp who refused to give his
name or tell whence he came, saved a
trainload of passengers from a terrible
plunge into a big washout near Wa
terville, Conn, last Monday morning.
Walking the track toward Water
bury the tramp discovered a space of
fifty feet where the track was under
mined for a. space of fifteen feet by
the bursting of a water main supply
ing the city of Waterbury. Hearing
the whistle of a locomotive around q
curve he ran a quarter of a mile north
and frantically waved his hat. The
engineer saw him and brought the
train to a stop within a few rods of the
Washout tfr
Meanwhile a nonthbOund freight
train mad plunged iJato-fhe wreck
ing half the ttain' which was piled in
a heap. -rfedt
Realizing the DANGER to the passen-
ger train the freight crew were has
tening to warn it when they found
that the service for which they would
nave been too late had been perform
ed by the tramp.
Thankful for their narrow escape,
the passengers crowded around the
tramp and thrust money into his
hands and pockets. To escape them
he made for the woods around Water
bury.
AS a consequence of the washout
the city of Waterbury was without
running water for several hours

arrested here last night by Detectives
Walsh and Anderson and is being held

They are suspected of belonging to a

something of operations of that kind
which have been committed in the two
Kansas Citys of late.
Letters have been found in their
possession which have aroused this
suspicion in the minds of the officers.
Mrs. keele denies that she is the

Rock Island Made an Exhibition Run
for PennsylNanians

The Rock Island southbound train
which steamed into Ell PasO on time
Friday morning was more than an
hour and a half late while passing
through the barren plains early Thurs
day evening and thereby hangs a tale
The train of ten heavily loaded
coaches was making little progress
and seemed destined to reach FL Paso
late in the morning. A large party of
Pennsylvania railway engineers was
on board and the prospect of losing
time was not cheering to them. As
sistant General Freight Agent Patter-
be on board the train, overheard the
words of criticism and taking out his
cardcase addressed this note to the
engineer and sent it to the locomotive
cab at the first stop:
"A party Of Pennsylvania engineers
on board Tney think you're not max
ing good time"
The effect was instantaneous and
astonishing. That grey-headed engi-
neer opened the throttle and let her
stay open" The big train fairly flew.
The engineers looked at one another
amazed but Mr.. Patterson and two of
his friends who knew of the note sat
quietly in the smoker and chuckled.
Mile after mile the iron horse ran at
lightning speed unit finally the con-
snap. twisted the belr' on the engi-
neer. But the run had been made and
the one and one-half hours had been
made up in a distance of about 100
miles.

forced to choose between robbery and
selling her honor, and she chose the
former. She dressed in a pair of high
heeled boots, buckskin jacket and a
cowboy hat and went into the job with
a vim. Three passengers were on the
coach. The mail was not touched, but
the robbers secured $1,000 from the
passengers. After a hot pursuit
through the mountains the bandits
stationed along the coach line. Soon
afterwar1 the woman was sentenced
were captured by posses of officers
to prison for five years, but was par
doned. Her time expired last June.
Several years ago Pearl Hart went
to Kansas City, kas., and lived with
her mother and sisters. Until about
six months ago she conducted a little
cigar store at 519 Central avenue in
that city.
