BATTLE CREEK MAN Is GROUND
TO DEATH BY TRAIN.
TRYING TO SAVE CHILDREN
LITTLE TOTS WE'RE RUNNING TO
MEET JONES PlLkINs.
HE cLuTcHED AT LOCOMOTIVE


to Pieces by Westbound Black Hills
Passenger Train No. s, While on His
Way Home at Night.
Battle Creek, Neb, June 29.-Spe.
cial to The News: Trying to save his
two little children from death under
train, Jones Pilkins, laboring man
of Battle Creek, last night ran In
front of the westbound Black Hills
passenger train on the Northwestern
line here and was ground to death.
His body was severed by the wheels,
the legs being left on the track while
the balance of the body was dragged
for some distance.
Children Coming to Meet Him.
Mr.. Pilkins was walking north from
town, toward his home across the
tracks. On the other side Of the rail-
road two little children were running
toward him, to greet their father. The
theory Is that Pilliins, seeing the little
tots headed toward him and knowing
that they were in danger Of being
struck by the approaching train, start
ed himself to run toward the track In
order to head off the children.
A Tragic Scene.
Little children of the neighborhood
saw the man ground to death. They
witnessed a tragic spectacle when Pill
kins, running toward his own children,
got between the rails and realized only
too late that the locomotive was upon
him. Apparently determining that he
could not get across the track, he
started to retrace his steps, trying to
get off on the south side of the path
of the steel monster that was driving
toward him.
Grabs at the Engine.
But the mans movement to clear
the locomotive was too late. After
seeming to start back he paused for
an instant and then lunged toward the
oncoming iron stallion, his outstretch-
ed hands clutching at the snorting en-
CINE as though the man had some
hope of swinging upon the pilot and
saving himself.
but HIS grasp ldlleu W DTluS rescue
and Pilkins, before the gaze Of his
children and the gaze of other little
children, was cut down and climbed
over by the train wheels.
No Inquest Held.
No inquest was held. Coroner Kin
dred of Meadow Grove arrived this
morning but decided that the death
was purely accidental and that no in.
quest was necessary.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from the M. E. church, Rev. j. r. Glow
conducting the services.
Pilkins was a Virginian who came
to Battle Creek about year ago. He
was about thirty-five years of age and
leaves a widow and four children.
Among the passengers on the train
which ran down Jones PillIins was
DR.. P. H. Salter, the companys sur
geon, bound for Neigh. The nature
of the accident, however, made no de
mands on a physicians services. The
passengers on the Deadwood passen
ger received their first information Of
the tragedy at Meadow Grove, where
message giving brief details was re
ceived.

Newspaper Don'ts.

Miss Susan Glaspell of Davenport,
Iowa, recently read before the club
women OF her city paper on the
relations between the editor and his
occasional contributor. In the ar
ticle were some valuable "don'ts"
that will meet the appreciation OF
every newspaper man. They are as
follows:
Don't come to the newspaper Of
fee Thursday with something that
happened Monday. Come on Mon
day.
Don't come at two minutes OF 8
o'clock when the paper goes TO press
at two minutes after. The assassi-
nation of the President OF the Uni
ted States would be presented at
that hour.
Don't ask a reporter to run a COL
umn Of reprint stun which may serve
your cause, but has practically no
news value, and then when you have
a good live story give to the other
paper. The reporter will not like
that a bit.
Don't go to the managing editor
and ask that a legitimate news story
be kept out. II would be just as
unreasonable and Just as indelicate
as to go to the banker and ask him
to give you money or to the lawyer
and ask him to give up one OF hi
cases. A newspaper is a business
enterprise. When you ask II Il
keep out news. you ask II to injurc
its own business.
Don't blame the reporter IL some
thing you gave him or her does not
appear IL is not the reporters fault
The city editor is the court OF las.
appeal, and he works on the prin'
cipal OF the survival OF the fittsst.
The fact that your committee is go
ing to do something may be very
important to you, but the fact that
some girl drank carbolic ecid Is more
important TO the city editor.
Don't say, II can't understand
why the papers make so many mis-
takes" II you had ever been In the
business YOU would say instead, II
think It one of the miracles of the
age that newspapers can do that
amount of work under that amount
OF pressure and make so few mis-
takes"
