TELEPHONE NO. ia,
Brakeman Killed By The Cars

When eastbourd freight train No.
81 reached Julesburg shortly after
one o'clock last Monday afternoon.
Fl. Gilfoyl, conductor of the train.
discovered that w. Fl. Gaunt, one of
his brakemon, was missing. He at
once called DR.. NJ. L. Babcocls, local
surgeon for the railroad company,
took the engine and caboose and ran
back in search of the missing man.
At the west end of bridge over the
PETERSEN ditch, near the Weir switch,
the dead and mangled body OF the
missing brakman was found. The
body was left undisturbed and the
searching party returned to Jules
burg and notified the coroner, r. W.
Jenkins.
Mr.. Jenkins impaneled jury and,
accompanied by the jury and few
other citizens, went to the scene of
the accident. The mangled remains
of the body were placed in bed quilt
and were brought to town, The train
crew and DR.. Babcock were the only
witnesses examined by the coroner
and, after considering the evidence of
these men, the following verdict was
rendered:
San inquisition holden at Jules
burg, in Sedgwick county, state of
Colorado, on the 2Gth day of Febru-
nry, A ID. 1906, before Y. w. jenkins,
coroner of said county, upon the body
of William H. Gaunt, there lying
dead, by the jurors whose names are
hereto subscribed: said jurors upon
their oaths do say the said William Fl.
Gaunt came to his death while in the
discharge OF his duties as brakeman
on freight train No. 81, Of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, at about
l.lO O'Clock p. M. on the 26th day of
February, A. d. 1906, at a point on
said railroad, in Scdgwick county,
state Of Colorado, near the east end
of Weir switch, about one-half mile
east Of Weir, by falling or being
knocked off said train while in motion,
and ttat the same was accidental, by
striking railing of q bridge, or
some other accidental manner to the
jury unknown"
The verdict was signed by the men,
bers OF the jury, A. r. Perrier, G. S.
Banghart, f. Fl. Adamson, Harry
Entriken, John Holmes and Oscar
Corpe, and was attestcd by T. w.
Jenkins, coroner OF Sedgwick county.
The evidence showed that Brake
man Gaunt was leaning from the steps
OF box car looking for hot box:
probably being unaware of the prox-
unity of the bridge over the ditch, he
was struck by the side rails of this
structure, knocked under the train
and instantly killed, his head, one
foot and one hand being literally
ground to pieces. AT the time of the
accident the train was running at u
speed of about % miles an hour. 1t
was in charge of Conductor Fl. Gill
foyl and Engineer c. Fl. Winget,
of North Platte.
The dead man was about 30 years
old and was married, his family con-
sisting OF wife and one daughter.
His home is in North Platte, to which
place his remains were taken upon a
special train after the inquest.

Julesburg's Weather Prophet.

1t may not be generally known to
the public, but it is no less fact, that
Julesburg is the home of an adept
weather prognosticator. Unlike most
other prophets who "are not without
honor save in their own country"
Julesburg's prophet is highly honor
ed by his fellow-citizens and by all
others who know him, and his pre-
dictions about the weather are re-
ceived as gospel truth.
Only last Friday this oracle drop
ped into The Grit-Advocate office and
informed us that storm was brewing
in the north and that before six
O'Clock it would break upon the town
in all its fury. Asked why he thought
we were in for such a dire calamity,
the prophet stated that he had just
seen flock of ducks going south,
and that that was an infallible sign
of colder weather. We accepted the
gentleman's statement as being true
and at once telephoned for a load of
coal; we also hunted up our storm
coat, ear mutfs and mittens, and pre-
pared for the worst.
And, although we walked home that
evening without overcoat or gloves,
and had no occasion to burn any ex-
ira coal during the night, nor shovel
any snow the following morning, we
did not lose faith in our weather
prophet. The storm was surely due,
but was sidetracked before it reached
Julesburg.
Fortunately for the comfort of his
family, prophesying the weather is
not the only occupation Julesburg' S
weather prophet has. During his
leisure hours and saner moments he
looks after the welfare Of the numer-
Gus guests of the popular Commercial
hotel, of which he is the proprietor.

Real Estate Activity.

Since the close of the political cam paign which interfered with every bus mess in the Birmingham district, the real estate market has taken on new life and is unusually active for this season of the year." said Robert Jemison. Jr.. last night.
 Suburban property has been active all along, but for several weeks during the political campaign city property was slow and but few sales were recorded This class of property Is again in the ring and the movement is very encouraging
 "A feature of the dealings just now is the number of inquiries that are being received from people in adjoining states and in the agricultural sections of Ala bama seeking investment. We have had a number of inquiries from planters in South Alabama and some of them are buying property here. This class of bus mess is very desirable and augers well for the Birmingham district. It shows the faith that people at a distance have in the future of Birmingham and the small property holder is apt to become home owner in the district.
 Suburban property has never been more active than at the present time and prices are ruling strong. The rush for homes in the suburbs is taking nothing from the city proper but Is only extend ing the territory of Greater Birming- ham,"

DastardIy Deed in St. Peters.

There is no accounting for anarch ists of their acts but when a bomb is left among worshipers in the greatest church in the world-a church that Michael Angelo and Raphael spent their genius upon-the limit of crazed brains and dazed ideas has certainly been reached Fortunately no one was killed no one was even harmed In any manner. The great basilica was crowded and yet dangerous stam- pede was prevented, and all signs of the explosion were soon removed. It was the desperataion of the attempt alone that was significant.
 What misfortune it would have been to all the world, no matter of what faith, if St. Peters had been de- stroyed, or even impaired by bomb! The best art of the Renaissance was finest edifce, and Ill age after age con struction went on until the magnificent proportions stood complete. This was on November IS, 1926. And on the anniversary of its dedication the dome that Michael Angelo designed echoed with the roar of a bomb that sprang from craze of the times! The church was specially decorated because of the anniversary. In all Christendom there is not so fine or so large church, and all will surely rejoice that no part of it was harmed by the bomb. Fortunately the thing was filled with gunpowder instead of high modern explosive. Fortunately, too, no one was near 1t, and after few moments of confusion all the crowd went out in an orderly manner.

THE PRESS AGENT.

From the New York World.
 It is proposed by the Chicago City Council to appoint a municipal press agent with an annual salary of $10 900. There has been an impression that the western city had about 1.sOOOOO press agents, all avtive in an unofficial capac- ity. in addition to the work of John W. Gates as an agent of publicity in the corridors of the Waldorf.
 But the point of interest is that just as the dramatic profession is beginning to question the usefulness of the function ary, if we may judge from the letter of Miss Annie Russell to the press the rest of the world is waking up to an apprecia ton of his merits.
 The Christian Science church employs A publication committee, and it has found abundant occupation Other religious de- nominations have been reported as con- sidering the advisability of establishing one. The life insurance companies have press agents. Standard Oil has one. Pitts burg millionaires find them useful. Some ten years ago the railway systems cen tering in Chicago appointed a publica- tion agent to prepare official informat toin for the press. Agents with similar duties are attached to the New York staff of the trunk lines.
 Altogether the press agents sphere of usefulness has greatly widened within re- cent years. He has become the official mouthpiece of great corporations; why not of cities? One to do justice to Chi cago should have q preliminary training at-its university.

The Doom of Human Greed.

There are two features in our indus trial and political system which may as well get ready to quit business. They are the criminal corporation and the cor rupt official" says the Wall Street Jour nal.
 "Unless the signs of the times are ready on the wall. indicating that their doom is not distant.
 True, there will always be corporate officials who, according to the eternal fit- ness of things, should be in jail, and there will be public officials who have no high CT sense of duty than to help themselves to everything in sight, short of landing themselves in prison. But these are but incidental to the normal degree of in- tegrity which an intelligent popular judg ment is beginning to insist on, a re- quisite for office, corporate or public
 There is now going on a searching of records, a scrutiny into careers which is gradually shelving the man who cannot be successful in business without being a criminal. The type must go, whether by self-elimination, by force of judicial pro- cedure or by dint of outraged public feel ing.
 If the good will of ones fellow men is worth having, it must be gotten not by gifts, nor by deception, but by play ing fair with them One cannot fleece the public by, methods which popular sentl- ment regards as immoral and at the same time count on the respect and es- teem of ones neighbors or fellow citi- zcns
 '"rhis is not scolding anybody, mind you. It is the inevitable fate to which greed brings those who are driven along by its passion. What though man may prosper? The hot wrath of popular senti- ment will wither his prosperity, if he reckons prosperity by the good will of his fellow man. To live in an atmosphere of the hatred of ones neighbors is hell, and that Is what the wrongdoers in the management of corporations in disregard of law, of justice and of common honesty must expect to get in allopathic doses, as the natural reward of their methods. "Fortunately for the country, the vast majority of our business man, whether engaged Tn corporations or otherwise, have nothing to fear from this hot wrath for il Is not directed against them."
