HULIT ROAD MAY ENTER
PUEBLO OVER C. & S.

One of the puzaling problems in
the minds of the uninformed public
in connection with the construc-
tion of the Kansas Colorado railroad
has been how the new road will
get in and out of Pueblo. II Ia
known that the company's engineers
have recently made survey which
intersects the Santa Fe on the
Canon City division, west of Pue-
bio. But among the "wise ones'
it has been thought all along that
this route would be impracticable.
The rapid progress mad 9 by the
grading contractors has, in way,
forced the hand of the Kansas Colo
RADIO company, and through pri-

report is that it is known that Mr..

KILLED BY MOWER

Keokuk, July 9. - John Danford
was fatally injured yesterday after
non at his home on Sugar creek, his
right arm being mangled by mower
and death resulting from the hemor-
rhage and shock.
The accident happened some time
between / and o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon on his farm beyond the Lup-
ton bridge near Yellow Banks on
Sugar Creek, and just how 1T happen
ed is not known.
It is not known whether he was on
the mower and was thrown off or
whether he was on the ground trying
to control one of the horses, but it Is
known that the team ran away and
he was caught by the mower and his
right arm fearfully mangled and lac
Grated.
One of the guards of the mower
caught his right arm, striking into
the muscle and gashing the arm al
most from the shoulder to the hand.
The flesh was laid open, exposing the
bones, and in several places part of
the none was dug out by the guard.
Besides mangling the arm the right
shoulder was dislocated and the man
may have received internal injuries,
