An Unfortunate Accident

An accident occurred Monday after
noon which has excited the sympathy
of nearly everyone in Glenwood
when George Fry, the eight year old
son of Mrs. Myrtle Fry, had his leg
cut off by freight train.
AS far as can be learned the little
fellow was playing near the track
above the Rio Grande depot when the
train came along moving rather
slowly, and George thought he could
climb up the side Of one of the care.
In some way he lost his footing and
fell underneath the wheels which
passed over his left leg between the
ankle and knee.
A stranger, who was standing near,
quickly tied strong silk handker-
chief above the cut which stau nched
the flow of blood and the boy was
carried to the office of Dr. Crook where
with the assistance of DIR. Clark and
DR.. Robinson the limb was amputated
near the knee.
Mrs. Fry is a widow and this is the
Oldest of her three boys which makes
the blow seem doubly hard for her to
hear

FUSION TICKET
IN NEBRASKA
Democrats and Pops Combine to
Beat the .RepubIiCdnS---Brydn
Praises Roosevelt

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 20, Fusion
between the democrats and the popu-
lists of Nebraska was effected today
by the nomination of both state con
yentions of combination ticket.
There was no formal declaration
for fusion by either convention but an
understanding existed among the
leaders in both.
The feature of the democratic gath
ering was the speech of William j.
Bryan in which he bade his party as
sociates IN the state farewell for a
year at least on the eve of his depart
ure for an extended tour of the Old
World. Mr.. Bryan commended Pres
ident Roosevelt for what he declared
to be his advanced stand on the prin-
ciples long advocated by the demo
Gratis. On these principles he hoped
every democrat would uphold the
president.
A resolution which caused stir in
the convention and which was
promptly adopted, denounced the
Rockefeller gift to the University of
Nebraska, criticised the regents for
accepting it and demanding the re
turn of the gift to the donor
The platform is largely devoted to
state issues. On regulation of rail
roads it says;
We favor Il law giving to the IN
terstate commerce commission the
power to fix railroad rates. The right
of appeal should not, of course, be
denied, but when the commission has
fixed the rate it should go in force
Immediately and remain in force
until rejected by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
The anti pass plank is declared the
strongest ever adopted by Nebraska
state convention.
The populist platform declares for
the enactment of the initiative and
referendum and the national owner

BOLD HOLD-Up AT
MIDLAND DEPOT
Masked Nan Called On Gus COISOn
but Found the Safe Looked
He Left HurriedIy

A fellow in search of some easy
money landed at the Midland depo,
Wednesday evening and conided his
desires to Gus Colson the night agent
Just after the latter had turned the
combination on the safe preparatoIy
to strolling homeward, the work ol
the day having been completed.
Gus, who is one of the most ac-
commodating railroaders in the ser
vice said he knew of no way by which
he could help the fellow out but the
would be millionaire suggested that
he could open that safe. and to IN axe
the suggestion emphatic tloprished a
sixshooter which Gus said looked like
six cannons combined in one. AS Col
son remembered his manners he re-
Trained from calling the fellow liar
but politely informed him that he
was not in possession of the combina-
tion and it would therefore be entire
ly impossible for him to comply with
his callers request. Both parties ex
pressed regret at this but the caller,
somewhat insistent, suggested that as
the next best they might give their
attention to the cash drawer. Gap
ital idea,' replied Colson. "Why
didn't we think of that before?' and
with bland smile and key that
wouldn't fit he started toward the
cash drawer which he very well knew
at that time did not contain cent.
AT this time the intruder started
toward the freight house door with
the intention of closing and fastening
it when Gus told him, under his breath,
that if he was going to use that door
he would try the other and without
further waste of time, he slipped
through the front door and hurried to
the front platform where he stood
proclaiming the virtues of the Mid
land route in such high tones as to
frighten his visitor who departed hur
riedly in the direction of Aspen with
out the formality of leaving his card.
The night was cold and the fellow
who was of medium size, wore an
overcoat and slouch hat. He also
had handkerchief tied around his
face, probably to keep his ears warm,
but Gus says he hopes the costume
will not became popular as he does
not consider it appropriate for this
time of year-or any other.

DR.. N. H. Lee, the presiding elder
for the Rio Grande district, spent
Saturday and Sunday in Glenwood
where he held the first quarterly con-
ference at the Methodist church Satur-
day evening and on Sunday preached
both morning and evening. DR.. Lee
is an able and forceful speaker and
has such pleasing delivery that he
can hold the attention of his audience
for longer time than most speakers
would dare try. His fund of illustra.
tions seems inexhaustible while the
apt way in which he makes the prac-
tical application leaves an impression
which his hearers do not soon forget.
This district is so large that DR.. Lee
only breaches three sermons year in
Glenwood, but each time is greeted by
larger audience.
