FATAL.
Accident to 8. E. English
as Brakeman at
ST. Louis.
FORMER RESIDENT

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 1S.-The dual
life of B. f. English, of Canton Ohio,
who has lived in st. Louis for two
years under the name of +. w. Smith
was disclosed by his death after he
fractured his skull by falling from the
top of box car while working as a
brakeman. A card in his pocket bears
the statement: "My name is B. F.
English" and requests that in case
of accident Mrs. Ida Hill, T07 East
Fifth street, Canton, Ohio, be noti-
field.
The B. F. English referred to in the
above telegram to the News was a
former resident of Canton but left
here five years ago His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. B. F. English, Sr., and his
sister, Mrs. Ida Hill, live at 707 East
Fifth street. One brother, James A.
English, lives north of Alliance.
A telegram announcing the death of
her brother, "F. w. Smith," was re-
ceived by Mrs. Hill yesterday after
noon. The name puzzled her, and She
was at loss to know what 10 90
about the matter. She Immediately
wired back for further Information,
but regarding the disposition of the
remains the family had made no de-
cision last night.
Local relatives of the dead man hard
ly know how 10 solve the assumed
name puzzle. j. A. English, of north
of Alliance, made the following state
ment from the family residence last
night:
'My brother left Canton about five
years ago. Previous to that time, he
was employed on the Wheeling & Lake
Ellie as a conductor, but lost his po-
sition through some differences with
the company. About tho same time,
he parted from his wife, and then
drifted westward, landing first at Chi
cago, and later to East ST. Louis. He
wandered about in various western
cities. The last time we heard from
him was about six months ago while
he was in Milwaukee. Last summer
he was hurt in railway accident, and
upon his recovery he visited me at
my home north of Alliance.
81 believe that he used an assumed
name in order to procure a position
with the railroad company. The
stringent laws enforced on the rail-
roads would have made it impossible
for him to get a job, were 1t known
that he was discharged from his for
mer position This is the only expla-
nation we can give"
