gled almost beyond recognition, the
lifeless form of d 4 Keys, a Texas
a. Pacific switehman. was taken from
beneath the wheels OF freight car in
the local yards at $50 O'Clock last
night. The ponderuus wheels OF the
heavy laden car passed entirely down
thes sspiue and extended altogether
from the top back portion OF the
head to the tip OF his toes His body
was very nearly cut into two halves,
the head was crushed, and the trunk
awfully mangled and the entire form
was horribly mutilated. Under the
great weight of the big freighter, life
lasted only a few seconds, and when
fellow workmen reached the scene
he had breathed his last.
Reports diverge as to how Keys
lost his life. From one source
comes the information that while at
tempting to make a coupling, his
foot caught in a rail frog, and this
threw him beneath the wheels. An
other report is that the coupling was
defective and that in staying be-
tween the cars to make the coupling
work. he was caught in some man
ner and pulled to the ground, the
wheels spelling death for him,
KEYS resided at 315 Nicholas
street and had deen in the service
of the Texas & Pacific in this city
for only a few months. He was 32
years old and leaves q wife and two
children.

Patent Attorney Harrison
Sues for Divorce But
Avoids "Helpmeet."

Marital pugiIism. conducted under
ring rules that allow the pulling Of hair
and pinching Of ears as legiumats

piest kind Of life, according 70 Arthur
W. Harrison, a patent attorney, OF So2

uptown apartments today rather, he
gays, than risk an encounter with the
wife whom he has sued for a limited
divorce.
Another objection TO this matrimonial
prize-hghting. as set forth in the petition
for divorce that Mr.. Harrison had fled
against Mrs Mary f Harrison in the
District Supreme Court, is that she con-
fessed during the preliminary encounter
known as the honeymoon that she had
married him solely for money
While on our wedding trip up the
Hudson. on July Il. 1901, he recites IN
his petition, Mrs. Harrison. In a most
serious manner. informed me she only
married me that She might secure all
mony and be enabled 70 live independ-
entity"
He tells the court that bis wife pulled
bis hair. kicked and cuffed him. and
would assault him suddenly and Unex-
pectCdly, and that she had q quarrel
some and violent manner. he asks that
the court issue a restraining order pre-
venting Mrs. Harrison from visiting his
office further. as. he states. although she
has refused 20 return 20 live with him,
she has called him names on the street
and otherwise harassed him
