NASHVILLE. Tenn, Oct In a
proposition extended Thursday by
H. Mayberry, on behalf of himsel,
and associates, an opportunity for the
immediate construction of an inter.
urban electric railway between Nash.
vile and Gallatin is placed within
easy reach of the citizens, the business
men and the property owners of that
thriving town. Definite terms are
named by President Mayberry and II
is probable that the reply of the Gal
latin citizens will be received within
very short time.
Not only is the proposition one that
appeals to the conservative investors
of Gallatin and the intermediate ter
ritory, but it is to be seen by local
precedent, established here within less
than twelve months by the Nashville.
Franklin road. that such a road is a
stimulus to business of every kind.
1t was shown by Mr.. Mayberry that
the stock subscription of $112,5OO re.
uuired for the line would bring about
new values in realty alone between
Nahsville and Gallatin of $1000,00O or
more. The operation of the Nashville
Franklin line has demonstrated this
fact.
''All thinking men know these
facts" said Mr.. Mayberry. with
such an offer to those interested in
the upbuilding of this section, it is
unnecessary for me to comment upon
the proposition.
"You and the public fully realize
that myself and my associates have
no earthly chance of making dollar
except through the dividend earning

structed. We only get securities as

We do not and canont take out

dend earning power that we hope TO
bring about on every interurban we
construct"
The corporation to be organized for
the construction and operation of the
road is to have an authorized capital
stock of $75O,OOO and 5 per cent
bond issue of 100000, according to
the proposition offered by Mr. May
, berry. 1t is also required that Tree
rights of way and reasonable amount
of solvent local subscriptions for the
capital stock be obtained. 1t must
appear, also, that the earning power
of such a load will justify the under
taking after careful and detailed III
vestigation.

Denver.--A Boulder special to the
Republican Friday night says: Risk
ing his life to save helpless women
and children from drowning, Arthur
Dickerman. aged 2s. OF Greeley. today
lost his life while struggling in a flood
in Four Mile canon which had over
whelmed the picnic party of which he
was a member. Dickerman and Vivian
Carlyle. aged 9. are dead. Vera Car

pital here suffering from injuries
which may prove fatal. Her mother,
Mrs. Bessie Carlyle. Of Robinson. Ill.
is also in the hospital. but her injuries
are not dangerous, although the loss
Of two children may prove too great a
shock to overcome In her weakened
condition. The other members of
the party OF ten who suffered in the
disaster are not seriously injured.
The party had taken refuge from the
rain under a rock near where a tiny
stream usually flows down the canon.
In the party were Mrs. NJ. Gumaer
Of this city. and her son. Harvey: Mrs.
Virgil Abbott Of Garden City. Kas.. and
her two sons. Roger and Earl; Arthur
Dickerman Of Greeley. Mrs. Bessie
Carlyle Of Robinson, ILL.,. and her twin
daughters. Vivian and Vera: Mrs. e.
sic Ross. mother Of Mrs. Carlyle. and
Miss Francis Brasto Of Boulder.
The party had spent the morning on
Mt. Sanitas and had gone to the canon
to eat lunch. When the storm came
up all took refuge behind the rock.
when. without warning. a wall Of wa.
ter five feet In height came down
upon them.
Only four succeeded In reaching a
place Of safety. being Mrs. Gumaer.
Miss Brasto and the two Abbott boys.
The others were caught In the flood.
Dickerman reached the bank. but
Immediately plunged into the water
and succeeded In getting the uncon.
scious body Of Mrs. Abbott to the bank.
where she was dragged out by the
others.
Dickerman again plunged into the
flood and while trying to rescue the
twin girls was struck and disabled by
floating debris, and carried down by
the torrent. .... ....

she was caught by another Of those on

storm to burst. for Cavenaugh was not
