MAYOR IS IMPROVING

Mayor Becker's condition, at St. Mar
garet's hospital, continues TO improve
as well as could be expected. He feels
somewhat stronger today than he did
yesterday and is generally in good spir-
it's. With all that he is. however, still
very weak and the best of care is still
necessary. He spent a restful night
last night. AS yet he has received no
callers and will not until toward the
end of the week. 1t may be that his
own immediate family will be permit
ted to spend a short time with the pa
tient in the hospital. The Becker home
continues to be the center of inquiries.

ANOTHER BRAKEMAN
LOSES HIS LIFE
Fort Wayne Man Killed at
Hobart Early This
Morning.
CAUGHT HIS FOOT IN SWITCH
Brakeman Rows Legs Are Cut Off
By Fright Train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
Especial to THE TINES


Hobart, nd, Dec. 22.-Another man
lost his life in the Pennsylvania yards
here, it having been only three weeks
ago when trainman was killed In
stantIy at almost the same spot where
the accident happened this morning.
The victim this morning was
switchman by the name of Row, whose
home is in FIT. Wayne. At $3.50 this
morning he threw a switch and acct
dentaHy caught his foot in the switch.
He was held there in a vice without
ghost of a chance to extricate himself
before the oncoming train would be
upon him. He threw himself back and
forward over the rail and shouted to
the engineer, who, however, could not
hear him until it was too late.
The wheels of the train passed over
the poor mans legs and severed them
near the body. He died an hour later.
and was taken to his home in FIT.
Wayne for burial.
The engineer of the train was al
most overcome by the terrible acct
dent. He saw the victim only when it
was too late, and from the time he
first saw his victim trapped to the time
he jumped from the cab, seemed like
an age to him. 1t was an awful mo-
ment for the man at the throttle, who
would have given his own life to save
that of his fellow worker. He never
felt so helpless before as when he
tried to bring his engine to a stop and
it would not mind his touch on the in
stant
How Row got his foot caught in the
switch is a mystery to the the railroad
men. To guard themselves against
closing switches is one of the first prin-
ciples that is impressed upon the re-
cruit, and it is comparatively seldom
that a switchman is caught in that
manner.
