Rummaqe Sale.

There is a quaint old custom in
Keene that has been preserved for
MANY generations, and that is a
rummage sale in the public square
every Saturday morning. The
population for miles around bring
in odds and ends, old furniture,
odd China, knives and forks. farm
implements and everything else
you can think of. even old stove
pipes and shoes and clothing that
the children..have outgrown, and
have it offered at auction in the
public square. The auctioneer
receives a commission of 10 per
cent on the proceeds for his ser.
vices. The goods are spread out
on temporary tables where they
can be seen and inspected, and the
offerings of the first corners have
their preference. Everything is
cash. apd the successful bidder
carries his purchases away with
him. 1t is curious to watch thess

coming this way at the usual rate
of. speed when engineer Joe
Boiselle discovered some object
on the track the bell was rung and
whistle blown and on getting
closer discovered that it was

brakes applied. but the man was
dazed or drunk and was unable to
get Of the track. 1t seems that
the man realized in a way his dan.
ger and tried to roll off the track
but was phyicaly unable to do so.
1t was reported here today that
this man tried to get Geo. w.
Cooney the livery man. to take or
send him out to the threshing
, machine where he had been en-
ployed last night, but as he was
drunk and as Mr.. Cooney has had
trouble in getting his pay, beside
the disagreeable work of handling
that kind of trade, he declined to
take him. 1t is supposed that he
undertook to walk to the machine
where be had been employed, laid
down on the track. went to sleep,
with the above result. The train
went across the body killing him
instantly practically cutting the
body in two. Coroner Button
went over to..Hoisington on a,,s9e-
ciaI train and has not returned ,,..at
this writing. No clue to the mans
name or home is known. The
above are all the facts obtainable
at this time.
We are informed by DR.. But.
ton, the Coroner, that the article
in, Thursdays Rusiler in regard
to the man kilIed,,by the Hoising.
ton branch train..was substantially
correct. 1t was developed at the
inquest that the man went by the
name of Pratt here, and Thomli.
son while at ..Hoisington said to
some acquaintance that he had a
boy IS years old and grille. that
would graduate from the Kansas
City high school this winter.
The only property found on him
was a pocket book, knife and

Ed. Childs. The jury found tha
the man.came to,,his death in the
manner stated THURSDAY and that
i. the train men were not in any way
responsible for it.
