From Oklahoma comes the word
that the Union Pacific has decided on
building the Stromsburg Lincoln line
or road. recently surveyed, and that
along with this important link the
0maha-LineoIn line viii also be built
The announcement has not been made

to build has been reached. and that
this is really an important part of the
plan to build south from Topeka or
Kansas City to Denison, Tex, there
connecting with Southern Pacific lines
for Galveston and other Gulf ports.
The two lines in Nebraska and the
completion Of the line from Marysville
to Onaga in Kansas are important
parts of the Union Pacif1c's big
scheme to connect the eastern ends of
the Hartman system with a trunk
line road
Some fear that Harriman's failure
to secure control of the Alton road
may affect his plans IN the west, but
those who have watched the Hartman
systems development say that when
ever 1t becomes necessary for Mis-
souri, river Chicago lire to be secured
that one will be found. and that

There was no one working on this floor
when the accident happened
The first that was known of the &C
cident was when Waters staggered
down the long flight of stairs on to the
floor where he fell over in half con-
scious state. Waters arm was hang
ing limp at his side and blood was
squirting from the shoulder so that it
was at once apparent that he had been
caught in the machinery. The am
bulance and company physician were
sent for at once. The ambulance ar
rived very shortly after the accident but
the injured man died before the hospi-
tai was reached
How Waters managed to walk down
to the lower floor from the depart
ment where the accident happened in
the condition he was in almost passes
understanding. The distance is easily
200 feet, the most Of which is down a
stairway. Waters presented a shock
ing appearance at the foot of the stair
way as his arm was practically torn
from his shoulder. while his clothing
except at the armpit was not in the least
disarranged. The wound was bleeding
very profusely.
