DUE TO NEGLIGENCE

pIOyes Are TO Blame for Eighty
Per Cent of Casualties.

NEW YORK, Nov. fL-Negligence OF
railroad employees is responsible for 80 per
cent OF all railroad accidents, according
to w. L. Park Of Omaha, who spoke be-
fore the annual meeting OF the New York
and New England Association Of Railroad
Surgeons here today.
IF we would prevent accidents on our
railroads." continued Mr.. Park, I'VE must
weed out the irresponsible, shiftless and
incapacitated employees. There must be a
firm discipline. The unworthy workman
must go. and the labor organizations Fust
be Impressed with the idea that their mis-
sion is not to manage the railroads, but to
man them"

line continually.
Both the forward pass and onside kick
gained ground for Nebraska against Kan

Is much superior to the J~ayhawkers', and
that It will be able to intercept these two
plays.
BeItzer BOotinE Well.
Captain Beltzer has been bootlnE the

thinks he will be in condition to hold h.s
own against Koehler's excellent booter.

SWlNDLER'S VICTIM FOLLOWS
HIM TEN THOUSAND MILES
Aged Man Who Bought stock In
Bogus Gold Mine Finally
Gets Revenge.

ANDERSON, Ind. Nov. 17.-KnowIng
that the bones Of the man that swindled
him OF $500 lie bleaching in the sands
Of the southern California desert. Newton
A.. Grabin, a mill owner or Daleville, re-
turned home today, after a i0,OOO-mile
chase, and found that his creditors, be-
neving him dead, had petitloned the Della
ware county court to wind up his estate.
Grabnl is 70 years old.
one day last June Grabill was ap-
preached at his mill by a man who said
he represented a brokerage firm in Chi
cago. The stranger had prospectuses Of a
GOLD mine in Colorado and persuaded
Grabm that it would be a profitable in
vestment for his savings.
Grablu gave the man $500 in cash and
made an appointment TO meet him in In
d~lanapoiis and turn over the remainder Of
the amount he intended to invest.
At Indianapolis Grabin learned that he
had been trieked. Angry, ne took up the
trail OF the swindler. First 1t led to st.
Louis and then to Denver. From that
city to New Mexico and Arizona Grabill
followed. The confidence man knew the
victim was on his track and he doubled
through the southwestern states.
At length the swindler crossed the Dor
der into Mexico, with which country he
evidently was familiar. GrabIl engaged
a Mexican detective and the two followed
the swindler into the California desert.
The pursuit wore Grabil out and he
stopped. but the detective pressed on.
Within a few weeks the detective re-
turned to Grabm and gave him proof that
he had caught up with the swindler at a
lonely ranch house; that they fought and
that he shot the swindler dead. His body
was buried in the desert.
Satisfied that In this final deal he was
getting his moneys worth. Grabil paid
the detective and set out for Indiana.
