BRAKEMAN WHIPS THUG
L. S. JOHNSON GIVES HIGHWAY
MAN A GOOD BEATING.
PUTS THE RoBBER TO SLEEP

Powerful and Merry Northwestern
Brakeman Makes Quick Work Of
AssaiIant In the Dark-PoIlceman
Found Spot This Morning.
L. S. Johnson, brakeman on the
c. C N. W., was held up last night
near the ice house in the Junction
yards, but he knocked the thug down
and went after policeman.
At about 10:30 o'clock Johnson, who
was walking to the depot from his
train, which had just arrived, was go
ing by the ice house when a man with
large club stepped out from the
shadow and demanded "all the money
and valuables you got" and he want
ed it in hurry. He had stepped a
trfle too close to Johnson to use his
club handily and before the hold-up
man knew it he was sprawling in the
ditch from a blow that shot straight
from Johnsons shoulder and which
hooked the highwayman on the chin
and raised him about foot off the
ground.
Struggle Follows.
Johnson then made jump to hold
the man down. Quite a struggle en-
sued but Johnson, who is a powerful,
muscular man, and one of the best
pugilists the Junction boasts Of, got
the best of the would be robber. He
finally pounded the man so much that
the victim fell over, unconscious.
Johnson then ran for the police. Of
ficer Livingstone did not go down
last night, as he had orders not to,
but this morning he went over and
could plainly see signs of the struggle.
Blood and foot prints were to be seen
all around.
This morning Johnson's right hand
was terribly swollen from the effect
of that first blow, but otherwise he is
feeling all right.

OBITUARY.
MISS MARGARET F. KELLY.

Miss Margaret F. Kelly peacefully passed away at the home of her father, Patrick Kelly, Tuesday afternoon, February 20. Although not of robust health, she kept about her daily work, and was always bright and cheerful in the hope of good health returning, un- til a week before her death, when she could no longer attend to her duties. Her passing away so quickly was not anticipated and fell upon her friends as a shock. She was so young, and though retiring in disposition had a host of friends. Indeed it may be said that all who knew her loved her. The keynote of her character was love to God as deep religious instinct that received every stroke of the chasten- ing rod humbly, and next to that, an over reaching love of father and kin- dred that embraced and included any and every sacrifice in their behalf, while generous charity out of the depths of her soul was extended to ev- cry being who crossed her path of life. Death by this visit rudely breaks up a cheerful family circle and renews in that home the memory of the loss of dear wife and mother, with all the poignancy of grief, which only a father, sisters and brother can feel. She looked lovely as she lay robed in a shroud of white silk in a casket of white embossed plush. The deceased was bright and accomplished lady of 34 years. She died very happy death, surrounded by those she loved. The funeral, largely attended, occur red Friday at II a. m., from St Rose's $ church, of which she was a faithful cOmmunicant. Father Fox officiated. The choir rendered appropriate selec- tions during the celebration of the requiem mass. The interment was in St Roses cemetery, beside the remains of her mother, in the family plot. The pail bearers were John J. Heating, Thomas J. Maloney, John F. Maloney, Francis Kilbride, of this town, and Patrick Maloney and Patrick Scanlon of Bridgeport. There was a beautiful display of flowers, notably large pill low from the father and sister of the deceased, a large standing cross from MT and Mrs T. J. Lynch and children of Passatc, N. J., and a large wreath from MT and Mrs M. H. Kelly and children of Bridgeport. Among the concourse of people who attended the funeral were her many relatives from Bridgeport. Danbury, and Passaic, N. J. Funeral Director Heating had the arrangements in charge. But up from every breast of all who knew her short but sweet life story, goes confidently to the throne of mercy the prayer of her church, Requiescat in pace.-['
