This is especially true with the Omahas.
1t was the privilege Of this writer to take
the late Rev. Mr.. Hamilton on his mission
tour to the wild Indians, those who did
not attend the church services and Sabbath
school at the agency. This tour he took
the last Sabbath in each month. the other
Sabbaths he spent in pastoral labor at the
agency, where he had an organized Presby-
terrain church and Sabbath school, for
which he purchased several dozen English
testaments. At that time he was past
20 years having spent his life in learning
the Omaha and other dialects to enable
him TO benefit the poor Indian. Rev. MT
Hamilton was well known In Omaha ana

Pacific Train in Transfer
Yards.

Alvin Mowery. the 12-year-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. C. Mowery, 1905 Eleventh ave-
nue., Council Bluffs, while crossing the rail-
road tracks in the Union Pacific transfer
yards Sunday afternoon, was run over
and instantly killed by a Northwestern
freight train which was switching.
The lad. with his elder brother. Elmer.

out yesterday afternoon rabbit hunting
south of the transfer yards. The boys sue
ceeded in chasing several rabbits into their
holes. but were unable to get them out.

and get a fishpole with which to route tue
rabbits out, and he started off on this mis-
sion.

crew knew that the boy had been run over
was when his body. almost cut in two

tersection of Seventeenth street and
Twelfth avenue. 1t is supposed that IN,
boy crossed from behind a string of freigh.
cars directly in front OF the train. which
was backing.
The body was brought TO the Northwest
ern passenger depot on Broadway, and :ron
there taken to Cutler's undertaking estab.
lishment.
A. Anderson, foreman Of the switching
crew, said last evening that his men wert
all working on the left side Of the trair
and the body Of the boy was found on tht
right hand side OF the track. The lad wa
dead when found. Indications were the en-.
tire string OF cars had passed over the body
which was practically cut in two Just above
the waist. Engineer Leibold in charge OF
the switch engine did not see the boy and
knew nothing OF the accident until told OF
the finding OF the body.
Coroner v. l. Treynor, after ordering the
removal OF the body TO Cutters undertak.

an investigation Monday morning and de.
termine whether an inquest would be nee
