W. D. Beck has resigned his posi-
tion as superintendent of the Galena
division to engage in private enter
prise. Mr. Beck, it will be remember
ed, was once superintendent of this
(the Madison) division. Supt. p J.
o Brien of the Madison division has
been appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr. Beck's resignation and
g. B. Villas, Mr. O'Brien s assistant,
has been promoted to the latter's
former position. F. J. Byington,
formerly chief train dispatcher at
Boone, Ia, is now assistant superin
tendent in Mr.. Beck place and he in
turn is succeeded by P. g. Campbell.
Other changes affecting this division
of the G & N. W. are being con-
templated which when made will
perhaps be of interest to Lancaster
people.
Last week it was reported in Lam
caster that a Northwestern fireman by
the name of John Allen had been
found frozen t. death in a snow drift
near Livingston where he had fallen
from the cab of his engine. It was
alleged that the man had been missing
for several days. There seemed, upon
investigation however, to be absolute
l.. e., H.
was at that time safe and sound at
his home in Baraboo. It is thought
that the rumor of the man being
missing originated with some news
paper correspondent possessed of a
liking for sensational "stories. How
the report that he vas found in a
snow drift near Livingston became
circulated is hard to tell. It is alb
eolutely certain however that there
was not bit of truth to either story.
H. c. Gleason received a telegram
recently stating the sad news of the
death OF his brother, Samuel Gleason,
of Utica, Neb. In 1858 there were
four brothers of this family living
near Lancaster. Three of them moved
to Nebraska in the 7O's Of whom Ansil
and Samuel are now numbered with
the dead. He was over 80 years of
age and was only sick six weeks with
dropsy of the heart from which he
suffered intensity at times. His wife
who was Maria Graham died a few
years ago, and since then he has made
trips 10 Ohio, California and WIscon
sin. He joined the 18th Wis. in
fantry in 1852 and was also a member
of Gen, Calls Circle, Ladies of the
G A. r. of this CITY. The follow
ing is copied from the Utica Weekly
un :-"He was one Of those good
whole souled men, true as steel to
friend and gentle and kind to all
and his untimely taking off is to be
regretted by his children and rela-
t'ves also his many warm personal
friends. The funeral was held at
Utica, Jan. 22nd. where large con-
course of relatives and friends fol-
lowed the remains to the cemetery
where all that was mortal of this
good man was slowly lowered to the
final resting place. AS this was done
there was scarcely one who was not
weeping. The deceased leaves two
sops and two daughters besides one
sister and three brothers.
