Word from Ned" Keasbey and
Another Friend of Gilman.

NEWARK, Apr. 6:-Friends of
William A. Gilman, the missing

would object to his going. The Morn
ing Star last night endeavored to find

orado Springs, Col. Another tele-
graphic inquiry was sent to j. Glover

My last letter from William A. Gill
man is dated March from 26 Broad

postal cards since, but no word of
sudden move. He has often written
he would come west and look me up
Will wire you if l receive any def
mite news. EDWARD KEASBEY,
Colorado Springs, Apr. 5.
Morning Star, Newark, n. j.:
Have not seen or heard anything
of William A. Gilman. Will wire if
he is seen or heard of here.
C. l.. WICKHAM.
Young Gilman recently was told
that he had consumption and this
worried him. 1t is now thought that
he has gone south or west for his
health.
What seems to give rise to the i'm
preston that the lad had gone west
is the fact that letter arrived from
friend, an engineer, in New Mexi-
co, yesterday, stating that If Gilman
would come south he would find plen-
ty of work, and that his friend would
secure a position for him.

Appropriate Exercises Being
Planned In Some OF The Schools
For Next Friday.
TREES BACK OF HIGH SCHOOL.
The Plan in the High School is for
the Faculty to Plant Tree, as
Well as Each Glass i'm the School,
and to Sing Songs, but the Scheme
Is Not Complete as Yet for the
Annual Celebration of Arbor Day.

Arbor Day will be observed in the
public schools next Friday.
A number of plans are under way
and Principal Kleinhans said this
morning that the faculty of the high
school may plant tree. Each of the
classes of the school is raising money
to buy trees and if the present plans
are carried out about twelve trees
will be planted in the rear of the
building. At the present time the
yard in the rear of the high school
building presents bare appearance
and it has been decided to plant trees
there to overcome this disadvantage.
The trees will be planted with appro-
pirate exercises and singing will be
feature
Exercises are also being planned
at school No. 2 and if they decide to
plant trees they will be in the front
of the building.
Superintendent Shull, in speaking
of Arbor Day this morning, said that
exercises will probably be held in all
of the schools, but as the grounds
around schools Nos. l. 6, and are
not at grade, no trees are likely to be
planted
The exercises at the high school
will probably be the most extensive
and will take place in the afternoon.

tive, though not official information
been appointed to the vacancy in the

ambassador at Washington.
Mr.. Har"ourt himself today seemed
indirectly to confirm the Rows. saying

some quarters, has surprised til" polit-
ic3l world Nv selecting 4 man who
hitherto had not been considered 4
candidate for the post.
Mr. Harcourt's selection. however. is
regarded as peculiarly appropriate. not
only becaus" Of his; fathers lifelong
advoracy of Eor!. ruiz. for Ireland. but
also from the fact that Mr.. IIarcOurt' s
wife is an american formerly Miss
Rurns daughter Of the late Walter II.

From Destruction by c. &

Engine Runs Wild and Engineer
Is Forced From Seat.
The Blowing Out Of Stud in Boiler
Nearly Causes Bad Wreck.

Boone, Iowa, Jan. 9.-After running
wild for several miles at high spec /
with an engine out of control by the
blowing out of stud IN it's boiler.
the Chicago * Northwestern fast mail
train No. 10. was barely saved from
destruction near here last night by the
heroism Of Engineer Louis Shull.
Shull was driven from his seat by
the scalding vapor and boiling water.
DaZe(; for the moment and knowing
1t was impossible to reacn the throt-
tie ard bring the flying engine to a
stop, the plucl:y engineer climbed our
onto the tender and drew himself over
the coal to the express car beyond. The
express messenger. fearing robbers, re-
fused him admission.
Shull hammered at the door and
when it was suddenly opened by the
messenger, he stood in the way with
a pair Of reVolvers aimed at the hecd
of the engine. When s;hull finally
staggered in bleeding and hale dead, he
just had enough strength left to reach
up and pull the rope connecting the
air brake. The train came to a stop
shortly after.
