He Admits That the Switch

Some EmpIoye, But De-
cIineS to Make Statement.

rhe sixth victim OF the Collinsville

death roll last evening, at 6:15 o'clock
when Burt H. Hatfield. the Greens

Memorial hospital, where he had laid
in an unconscious state since abou:
II O'Clock Friday evening"
Railroaders, who are in the least
superstitious will state that as this
was Mr.. Hatfield's third serious wreck
since he has been in the service. it
had something to do with the fact that
his injuries were fatal. Railroaders
who have been in the service for
years will not deny that they are SUI
perstitious about the number 3 and
nearly every one will affirm that af
ter a man has passed through two
serious wrecks. the third one will re-
suit in his death.
His Third Wreck.
The superstition has been proven SC
many times that railroad men regard
years ago Mr.. Hatfield was in a wreck
at Cincinnati and q singular incident
about it Is that Elmer Brown. the en-.
gineer who figured as the hero in the
Collinsville wreck was the engineer on
the train on which Mr.. Hatfield suffer.
ed his previous experience. Mr.. Hat.
field suffered a number OF bruises In
the Cincinnati wreck and it was two
or three months before he had recov'
cred sufficiently to 60 back on the
road. His first wreck of any conse
quence was at Chicago several years
ago when a switch engine struck the
mail car and Jared things up rather
badly and particularly so for Mr.. Hat
field.
Mr.. Hatfield has been in the ser
vice between sixteen and eighteen
years. He has always run on the
Richmond division. out OF Cincinnati
although he has made Greensboro his
home. Mr.. Hatfield had been married
about fifteen years. His wife was
present at the hospital most of the
time since her husbands injury.
Wife Was Absent.
However. she had left the hospital
but few moments before he breath.
ed his last. she had expected to 60
back to the hospital at o'clock
When the end came Mr.. Hatfield s
brother and brother-in-law were pres
ent.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Hatfield is
survived by two brothers, w. l.. and
e. G.. and two sisters, Mrs. Iona Fa-
gan and Miss Linnie, all of whom live
in Greensboro. Mr.. and Mrs. w. S.
Hatfield. parents of the sixth victim
of the wreck. also survive. The funer-
al arrangements will be announced
later.
The hospital attendants gave out
the cause Of his death as emphysema,
a condition arising from the lungs be-
ing punctured and releasing the air
from the tissues OF these organs.

DEAD TRAMP FUGITIVE?
May Have Been Man Chased at Gier
Miller.


Miller.
1t is possible the unidentified tramp
who was crushed and instantly killed
in the terrible catastrophy at Collins
vile, O., Friday evening, in which six
persons met their death. was the rob-
ber who entered the clothing store of
Joseph Werner at Eaton Tuesday
night and who made such sensa-
tiOnal escape from the officers in
Glen Miller park Thursday afternoon.
The description of the dead man tai
lies in many respects with that of the
fugitive. The unidentified tramp is
described as being about medium
height, weighing perhaps 175 pounds,
about 40 years of age; full faced and
slightly pug nosed. He was of ex-
cellent physique and very powerful.
The fugitive is described also as being
very powerful man, and an excellent
runner, according to Norman A. Hoff-
man, who chased him around the lake
Thursday afternoon. Not much oppor-
tunity was given Gardner Hoffman to
distinguish whether the man was pug
nosed as during the race the fugitive
presented no chance for a careful
scrutiny of his countenance.
w. A. Simms Saw Him.
w. A. Simms. of this city, who was
unloading stone in the yards, declares
that the dead man is the same one
who boarded the ill-fated train just
east of the Glen. He asserts that the
man asked him about t\> Dayton
train and stated that he was going to
ride the blind baggage. He was seen
to hop train No. IS just as it was pull
ing out of the yards.
The robber who was chased in the
park was wearing gray sweater vest
had stolen from Werner at Eaton. In
the latter respect also the description
Of the two men tallies and tends to
strengthen the belief that they are
one and the same. The trousers worn
by the dead tramp were new and
could not have been worn by the man
long in view of the fact that they
still retained a good crease. Hoboes,
weary willies and tramps. do not, as
rule, press their trousers very Of
ten. Ne mark or label. however, was
visableA on the trousers. The police
also are inclined to share the opinion
of many others that the much wanted
robber may have met an untimely end.

This is that the switch was left open,

went to Rocky Ford.
The reason for the aforesaid In
vaxion OF the cantaloupe metropolis
can he explained by the fact that
two foot ball games were scheduled
there that day between the teams
Of the two towns.
La Junta's second or scrub team
scored two touch.downs and n goal
kick for a total Of eleven scores In
the first game, while the scrub
bunch from Beetville left the field at
the end Of the second half with the
same score they had at the start OF
the first half-namely, nothing.
The members OF La Junta's sec.
ond team are comers and the boys
In the first division squad will have
to be IN the game every minute II
they wish to hold their position with
number one.
The second game was between the
first teams Of the two towns and
was mighty pretty exhibition. the
result being about the same as the
first game-I.a Junta. II: Rocky Ford.
o. In The first half OF this game La
Jun,a made 4 touchdown before ten

kick and leaving the score to o at

complished by any superior playing
on their part. but more on account
OF three five-ysrd pcnnlixations La

The ball did not stay In La JuntR's
