Farewell to Mr.. Fitch.
The following from the
Omaha Bee of April Is, 1889,
will be of interest to all old
time railroad men in this city.
There are some occasions
when even the exciting returns
of a presidential election will
fail to arouse enthusiasm and
the cheers of victors falllightly
upon ears that would under
other circumstances drink in
the welcome news with feeling
of gratified pleasure.
This was particularly the
case last evening at the Willard
hotel, where, around a banquet
board, a number of gentlemen
were gathered to fittingly take
leave of Mr.. w. F. Fitch late
general manager Of the FIRE.
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri VAL
ley and Sioux City and Pacific
railroads.
When the announcement of
Mr.. Fitch's acceptance of the
general managership of the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
road was made, last week, a
number of the heads of depart
ments of the Fremont, Elkhorn
& Missouri Valley and Sioux
City and Pacific conceived the
idea of rendering to their de-
parting chief a banquet and the
event was fixed for last even
ing.
At 9 o'clock the guests, repre-
sentatives of all departments
and delegates from the railway
conductors, railroad brakemen,
engineers and fremen met in
the parlors of the Willard and
shortly after were seated in
the main dining room around a
pleasant banquet board.
Mr.. Fitch, the guest of the
evening, then responded: 81
am glad to see you here" said
he, and it is an evidence of
your friendship and esteem.
While your chief l have en-
deavored to do the best l could,
and now that l leave you l cam
not help but say that my sue
cessor, Mr.. Burt. is a very nice
man. have known him for a
long time. You will like him.

have never put in the same
length of time with as little
trouble =
Mr.. Fitch was followed by
Burt, Mr.. Babcock and others
who spoke of the affection the
employees held for the retiring
chief and wished him God
speed in his new field of labor.
Then the banquet and its
mission of fraternity was over.
What was Mr.. Fitch's feel
|ings when he reached home
and received from his wife the
finest cut glass set ever seen in
the west, valued at 81 900, will
never be known. The present.
alton speech was not made in
the presence Of newspaper men
and what the wife said will not
be a matter of record. 1t was
unquestionably a surprise and
I've have no doubt the tears

YORK DIES FROM
 REGENT INJURIES
WOUND IN SPINE RECEIVED DUR- ING DIFFICULTY WITH A MAN NAMED LACEY AT MAYLENE EARLY IN MONTH.

The remains of Clarkson York, who died at St. Vincent's hospital Friday night from gunshot wounds. will be sent to Mentone, N C., at o'clock this after noon by Gaudin & Co.,. for interment. P. York, a brother of the deceased, will accompany the remains.
 York received his wounds on the morn- ing of August at Maylene, Ala, it is said at the hands of Jim" Lacey. It appears that York had leased some coal lands and some slight differences arose between him and the owners. Lacey was either one of the owners or was con nected with them In some way, and called on York the morning of August at York's place.
 Some words took place between the men, resulting In York knocking Lacey down. Lacey pulled a pistol and fired at him, the bullet taking effect in the spine.
 The limbs and lower part of York's body were paralyzed by the shock and he was sent to Birmingham that aft ernoon. He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital and everything possible done to save his life, but the physicians held out no hope for him. That he lived nearly a month after being shot Is re- garded as remarkable.
