HE ONCE LIVED HERE
John Gathercole Killed On Railroad
Near Medill, Mo.

John A. GathercoIe, a former Iowa
Central brakeman who lived in this
city, on Fifth avenue east, a few years
ago, and a son-in-law of S. B. Scoles,
an employe of the Oskaloosa Paving
Brick Co., while on duty as brakeman
on the Keokuk and Western railroad,
met his death Saturday evening about
$3.50 o'clock near Medill, Mo-, having
fallen from his train while passing
from the way car to the head end, and
the fast moving train. The accident
occurred half mile east of the Medill
station on the X. & w. No one saw
Mr.. Gathercole fall and his absence
was not noticed until the train pulled
into the station. Then the trainmen
hurried back and found his mangled
remains which were taken to Keokuk.
The chest and back of the head were
crushed, and the arms and legs cut
and broken, and death was undoubt.
eddy instantaneous.
Mr. Gathercole was about "a years
of age, and is survived by wife and
three children. He was also cousin
of Brakeman Art Siders of this city,
who attended the funeral, which was
held Monday afternoon in Abba. The
remains had first been taken to his
home in Centerville and were later
removed to Abba on hand car by
his father, VIM. Gathercole, who is
section foreman on the Iowa Central
at that city.
Mr. VIM. Gathercole passed through
this city this morning and said that
he had just received a telegram stat
ing that his other son, Frank, had Just
been killed on the railroad at Musca-
tine. Later reports from that city,
however, fail to corroborate that story.

STRANDED ON DESERT
EXCITING EXPERIENCE OF A
MoToR-cAR PARTY.
Petrol Gave, Out, Placing Frenchmen
at Mercy of Hostile Chinese
An Incident Of the Pekin-
Paris Race.


On Wednesday early in June motor
would have been noticed Qf, indeed,
there was anyone to see it in such
lonely place. ploughing its way across
the sea of sand and single known as
the Cobb desert. Three Frenchmen
were seated in the car, Monsieur Cor
nier, a newspaper correspondent, and
a mechanic Suddenly the car began
to slow down. The engines ceased to
work. Not an ounce of petrol re-
manned, and 20 miles lay between
them and the nearest spot where the
authorities had established petrol
depot.
Meanwhile, the sun beat down with
a force that only those who have faced
the desert heat can picture. The lit
tie water that the travellers carried
became exhausted, and their small
stock Of provisions soon gave out
To abandon the car never for mo-
ment came to the consideration OF any
of the party. Sooner or later cara
van would come along, for they had
followed the customary track across
the desert. .-
Night fell, and the three motorists
dozed fitfully, haunted the while by
visions of bubbling springs and wells
for which their dry threats longed.
A Mogul woman approached on
camel. By making signs Monsieur
CORNER explained to her their plight.
The woman nodded her comprehen-
sion, and at once allowed the motor
lists to hitch the camel to the car But
strive as 1T would, the great beast
could not move it, so the woman went
on her way, and the stranded mo-
florists faced the terrific heat, hoping
that soon a caravan would come.
Again night fell. Hungry, but still
greater in need of water, the three
men once more entered the car and
sought to find relief in sleep. They
were awakened by strange sounds. By
the bright light of the desert moon
they saw that they were surrounded
by a band of fierce Chunchuses,
mounted, and armed with rifles.
Leaping from the car, Monsieur Cor.
nier approached one, who, by his cos
tune and manner, appeared to be the
chief. His two companions waited in
the car. They knew that out in the
lonely desert they were at the mercy
of this fierce, rowing band, should they
prove unfriendly. ~
Meanwhile, Monsieur CORNER ap.
peared to be finding favor with the
chief. At last, by signs and broken
