D. PANTAN0 KILLED
BY LOG TRAIN
He Was Trying to Board 1t
and Fell Beneath the
Wheels

ID. Pantano, IA young Italian,
was killed at about l O'Clock
Wednesday on the Rock Island
tracks just below the Main street
crossing by falling un'ler the log
train of the Sulphur Timber and
Lumber Company. Five cars
passed over his body, which was
horribly mangled, the heart, lungs
and other parts of the body being
strewn along the track for several
feet.
The unfortunate man worked
ut the mill Of the Sulphur Timber
and Lumber Company and had
started to his work when the log
train came along and he decided
to ride down to the mill. He en-
deavored to boar d the front cars,
the train backing up at the time.
He made several attempts to get
on the drawhead and finally fell
under the car, where he met a
most horrible death.
The unfortunate man seemed
to be of the better class of Ital-
ians and was a hard working man.
He was married only two months
ago and lived with his young wife
only few steps from where he
was killed.

Brought the Crowds.

The special sales now going on
in Winfield have brought people
to town who have never done
much trading at this place. Sew
eral shopping parties from up
and down the different railroads
have been here during the week,
aud many came in wagons from
the country. And one noticeable
thing about their visits was the
fact that they did not confine
their purchasing to the special
sale goods. but also bought at
other places.

The Sentinel to Move.

On March l, or as soon there
after as possible. The Sentinels
plant will be moved into more
commodious quarters in the
Fletcher building on Main street.
Our quarters are entirely too
small for our rapidly growing
business and we had to have
room to spread out. The situa
ton was explained to our good
friend Mr.. G. w. Fletcher of
Flat Greek and our trouble has
been overcome by his cCnsenting
to lease US ample quarters to
spread. After moving The Sem
tinel will be in better shape to
care for, in more satisfactory
way, the great amount of work
that has been keeping the Office
force working day and night.

Ran Over a Child.

The logging train of the Lee
Logging Company at Coldwater
Is miles up the Louisiana & Ark
ansas from Winfield, ran over
a child Monday evening. The
child was playing on the track
and, the train backing up at the
time, the engineer could not see
it. The child's mother saw it
and endeavored to save it, but
without success. She was severe
ly bruised about the shoulders by
being struck by a car. The child
was horribly bruised and it was
necessary to amputate one of its
arms. It's skull was also fractur-
ed. The child was carried to a
hospital in Shreveport and it is
thought that it will soon recover.

SOME PERSONS OF NOTE
Traits Of Various Presidents,

THE service Of the g7eat has its
and sometimes it's interests without
emoluments,' said Joseph F. P. Vita
lone, the other day, who, as head wait
er in some Of New York's noted hotels
has served many of the great ones of
the earth in the last twenty-seven
years. when I first came to New
York, young man of 23" he said,
trained to wait in the royal house
holds of Italy by my father, who was
head waiter in the palace of Victor
Emmanuel, I naturally turned to wait
ing as my profession, and entered the
Hotel Brunswick, which was then in
Fifth avenue where the Brunswick Of
flee building now stands. 1 quickly
became head waiter there and had
opportunities of serving many people
of note who visited New York
president Hayes never drank any
thing except water with his dinner,
and plain Croton seemd to satisfy him.
He was never liberal, either in his
orders or his pourboires. His orders

"a marked exception to this rule
was President Harrison. He was one
of the incest men to serve have ever
n
pleasant word for everybody, and was
always considerable and anxious not to
give trouble, He talked more than
any other president whom 1 ever serv-
ed, and he was very fond of broiled
squad for supper.
"I remember Grant better than
most Of our presidents, for the reason
that he was a frequent patron of the
Brunswick He would find quiet,
secluded spot, selecting table where
he would not be noticed. He smoked
all the time, and, although he had no
special dishes, he never drank any
champagne except the extra dry, of
which he would order a good deal.
James G. Blaine was always smil-
ing, Pheasant, easy 10 SeINe' anu VIII

his hat under his chair and say,
Don't bother yourself when the wait
er would offer TO take 1t.
''Mr Mckinley, too, often came to
the Brunswick and the Waldorf
where 1 afterward served as head
waiter He was man of simple
manners and tastes, and talked little
at the table,
president Cleveland was one of our

meals In private and was silent
