Train Not Under

Verdict of Board Making Inquiry
Into Break on Union Pacific
at Fremont.

FREMONT, Neb.. April 9.-CspeciaI.)-
Blame for the wreck OF trains No. SO and
second No. 10 at Fremont is fixed by the
board called to investigate by the Union
Pacific upon Engineer Shepard in not
having his train under control. The re-
port in full is as follows:

has thoroughly investigated on the
ground at Fremont the matter Of train
second 10 at Fremont about 1880 p.
m, April 6, and finds that the Union Pa
cific Railroad company has protected the
board about one mile west of the passen-
about one mile east of the passenger de
pot, and the rules of the railroad COM
pany require trains TO move between
these two yard limit boards under full
control, prepared to stop within a dis
lance that the track il seen TO be clear,
and we find that all employees connected
with this accident understand these rules
and the necessity of complying there
WWe further find that the caboose OF
second 10 was properly protected by
four red lights displayed on the rear end
or same, namely, one cupola light on
the top OF the caboose, one red light on
each side near the roof and the fourth
red light on the platform. These lights
were visible to the engineer on train No.
% at a distance of l,122 feet.
We made a test today with a fgreignt
train consisting of the same number of
cars and pulled by the same class of en-
CINE that was on train No. So and a stop
was made in a distance OF PA feet at a
speed OF approximately ten miles Der
hour, the speed at which No. 90 was run
ming at the time Engineer Shepard claims
that he observed the caboose of second

IL is our decision that the accident was
entirely due to the failure of Engineer
shepard 20 have his train under control
between the yard limit boards as sre-
quired by the rules OF the railroad COM
pany.

EARLIER CLOSING HOURS.
Stores That Will Close at Eight O'Clock
Every Evening Except Saturday
Evening.


McConnellsburg is about the
last town In the Limited States to
take steps toward the closing of
the stores, and business places
generally at an earlier hour than
has been the custom in the years
gone by. For long time the
stores have been opening at day.
light, and kept open until any old
time at n1ght-frequently not
closing until 10 o'clock, and often
later. No man that has any re-
gard tor his health can keep up a
habit of this kind very many
years Without paying the penalty.
Then besides, if the business
houses be closed earlier in the
evening, the wants of the public
will be just as well served, and
the storekeepers will sell just as
many dollars worth of goods IN
the year, as they do now, and
have an hour or two more to
spend with their families.
The following business men
signed an agreement on Wednes
day to close their respective
places of business ats O'Clock
every evening, except Saturday
evening, beginning with Monday
evening, January II, 1909 and
continuing this arrangement un-
til April 1, 1909.
