Lawrence Guibord, aged II years, an
employe OF the c. & ii. stamp mills al
Lake Linden. met death yesterday af-
ternoon in one of the most horrible ac-
cdents ever recorded in that commun-
ity. Guibord accidentally fell into one
of the CHILEAN mills, used TO crush tn,
rock, and was literally ground to pieces
in the powerful mechanism. A com
panion, Ely Poland, also mill en-
ploye, fell into the mill but with pres
ence of mind chung to bolt which kept
him from going beneath the heavy
wheels, until the power could be shut
off, and the mill stopped.
Guibord, Poland and another en-
ploye, Ulrich Robarge, were standing
near the safety rail, which surrounds
the machinery, conversing. The two
first named sat upon the rail, a small
pipe, and their combined weight caused
it to give way beneath them. precipi-
tating them upon the wheels which are
used to grind the rock. Guibord gave
piercing scream as he realized his
fate, and slowly slid into the machin-
cry. his companions being entirely I'M
able to prevent the accident. His body
was completely crushed and almost
unacceptable, when the mill had been
stopped. Poland grasped a bolt and
held on. while Robarge rushed off to
the switch and stopped the machinery.
He emerged from his dangerous posi-
ton none the worse for the experience.
The victim OF the accident was a
son OF Mrs. Thomas Guibord of Lake
Linden. He is survived by number
of brothers and sisters, George. Alfred.
William, John, Nelson, Charles and
Edward of Lake Linden. Joseph OF
Tamarack City, Adolph of Point Mills,
Mrs. Samuel LaRose of Lake Linden
and Mrs. Nicholas Schick of Calumet.
Justice Il. +. Prince of Lake Linden
conducted an inquest over the remains
of Guibord last evening. After hear
ing the testimony the jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death "by falling into a
CHILEAN granting mill in the grinding
plant owned by the c. & ii. Mining
company at Lake Linden, the fall being
caused by the giving away of a tenn
porary guard rail upon which he was
leaning" The jury was composed OF
Phil Pieffer. VIM. Parks. Sam Pierce,
John owen, James Shields and l.. s.
Chabot.
The funeral of the unfortunate young
man WIN be held on Friday morning
with services at the st. Joseph church
conducted by Rev. FIR. Raymond and
lnterment in Mount Calvary cemetery.

Honest Railroad
and Honest Man
Late Discoveries.
After Forty-Nine Years Conscience
Pricks Veteran Into Paying
for Short Ride.

Here is a case of an honest man repay
ing a railroad and one OF an honest rail-
road repsying a man.
Conscience doth make towards Of US
all"
For forty-nine years a load was on the
mind Of a former citizen of Nebraska and
a relative of one of Nebraska's foremost
citizens and as he was nearing the End Of
life he tried to atone for the wrong he
had done.
An old man with long whiskers walked
into the office OF the general agent Of the
Burlington at Portland and said that as he
was nearing the end Of his time on this
earthly sphere he wanted TO right the only
wrong that weighed on his conscience. He
said that in the spring OF 1850 he had
let the conductor pass him without paying
his fare on the Hannibal a st. Joseph
road NOW part OF the Burlington system),
between Hannibal and st. Joseph and now
he wanted to pay that fare. T.
A. c. Sheldon, general agent, helped the
old man to square himself for riding the
207 miles free, The fare at that time was
either 4 or 5 cents a mile, but Mr.. Sheldon
figured it at 4 cents. The old man paid
$S.2s and the amount was sent to the treas
urer Of the Burlington in Omaha.
lnAI Is the IeCOIu TOT the conscience
fund. said L. w. Wakeley. general pas
senger agent. "Forty-nine years is a long
time to carry such a load on ones mind.
Ten years ago when / was in st. Louis
at least four OF the general passenger
agents at that place received 500 bills which
had never been folded, the notation being
that the sender figured he had beaten the
railroad company Of that amount. The
sender OF that was evidently insane. AL
though an effort was made no trace of
the sender could be found. This last is
the record in my experience of a sane
man making a refund"
c.. w. Bhrlich of Perham. MINI. was so
surprised that he should find a $50 bill he
lost in the depot at Perry, Kan, that he
wrote to the Union Pacific officials at
Omaha commencing the honesty OF the
station agent. f. w. Jette. and the night
telegraph operator. John s. Farrell. When
he returned to the station the next morn
ing and inquired for the bill he was asked
to describe it and then he was surprised,
but he was surprised again when the
finders refused to accept any reward. He
wrote that he could not refrain from call
ing the attention Of the officials of the
road to such honesty.

CREDIT TO LIFE INSURANCE
II Now Comes from All Directions,
but IL No New Matter in
the West.

The attention now given to life iusur-
locations is rather interesting. There is
hardly a daily. weekly or monthly of note
which does not either maintain an ''insur-
ance department" or has within compare
question to its complete satisfaction. Many
publishers will now tell you that they
have a first-class insurance expert" on
the stats Of their papers, who can hand
out something of the real sort whenever
asked.
This is all entertaining and as a whole
valuable, for too much can never be said
of the worth and need of life insurance.
Yet practically all of it is old, for nothing
that is to the credit OF life insurance is
being enunciated today that was not well
known and had appeared in the public
prints more than a quarter of a century
ago. 1t is for INSTANCE queer. though all
true enough, TO read the solemn advice
of Insurance editors, in leading daily.
weekly OF. other journals as they answer
correspondents concerning the advisability
of taking the assessment style Of policy or
certificate They say that II really isn't
quite the best thing so profoundly as
though the same fact had not been ham
mered at in vastly more vigorous fashion,
especially by prominent daily journals OF
the west, thirty years ago. Cooperative
life insurance they called it then. and
thoroughly complete was tie exposure Of
its many fallacies by editors who wrote OF
it before some of its present critics were
born.
No denunciation of It Is intended here.
1t has had it's uses and has no doubt turned
the attention OF many to the security and
worth of standard genuine life policies.
The main point in view is that most of
those who are writing of real life insur-
ance today, and the more the better, are
saying nothing additional OF its perfect
protective value to the family, unques-
toned stability and important financial
worth to the nation, that was not said in
the best western newspaper some three de-
cades In the past. Indeed, until very re-
Gently. the eastern daily press has never
shown an appreciation of the downright
excellence of life insurance and its need
in every household, that could compete
with the attention given to. and discrimin-
ating praise bestowed upon. it years ago
in the best western newspapers.
