WRONG MAN IS
REPORTED.
KILLED

John Monmouth, aged 40
years, an Engiishman, employed
Tor some time on the ranch of
}. +. Mcdonald, who owns the
feed store at 1871 South Fifth
street, was run down and killed
by Denver Il Rio Grande passen-
ger train, No. 4, Sunday morn
ing, in the local railroad yards.
Another paper gave publication to
the story that the dead man was
'Scotty Simpson, a carpenter, well
known about town, but this report is
untrue. "Scotty" Simpson is very
much alive and is employed at Fruita.
Wormouth came into Grand juno
tion Saturday afternoon with two of
McDonald's boys, from the ranch. He
informed Mr.. Mcdonald that he want
ed to get some new clothes and Mr..
Mcdonald gave him $4,000. 1t seems
that Wormouth invested some of the
money in bootleg whisky instead of
clothes and by night was pretty
drunk. He wandered down to the
railroad yards and was evidently
wandering aimlessly, and in drunk
en- condition, about the yards when
he was run down by the train and
killed Instantly.
One leg was cut off and terrible in
juries were inflicted on the head.
Undertaken w. P. Slough took
charge of the remains and they were
removed to his undertaking parlors
on Main street.
Mr.. Mcdonald states that the de-
ceased was a hard working, good
natured man and the Mcdonald fam
lily sincerely sorrows over War
mouths fearful death. He rarely
ever imbibed to any extent. He had
worked for Mr.. Mcdonald a goodly
portion of the past year. Previous to
that he had been employed as sec
tion hand on the Green River division
of the Rio Grande. Mr.. Mcdonald
states that Wormouth was expecting
some old clothes he had at Fruita to
be sent him by a friend by freight
and 1t is believed that he went to the
station expecting to enquire for these
clothes.
Wormouth came to this country
from England several years ago. He
had stated to Mr.. Mcdonald that he
had brother in England. 1t is not
believed that he was married as he
never mentioned having a family.
Undertaken Slough has prepared
the body for burial. The deceased
was Catholic and the interment will
take place in the Catholic cemetery
probably this afternoon.

When asked about having seen the

There are some people who. no

when l was working in my fathers
held late one moonlight night. Our
farm was but a short distance from
New Brunswick, and / remember the
wonderment that the comet caused
among the simple people of the old
New Jersey town. The whole town
was startled by the wonderful sight
which spanned the heavens as far as
the eye could reach.
Evening after evening the peop,e
gathered on the streets to behold
with fear and trembling the awe-in-
spring, but glorious sight, and won

dered what could befall the earth in
consequence of 1t. Some said pesti-
lence, some said war; but most OF
them talked in whispers about the
great judgment day and the end of
the world.
"It was only a few years before
that the people had seen the total
eclipse of the sun, when all grew dark
in midday and the chickens went to
roost The people had also passed
through the phenomena of the mete-
oric shower, when the heavens were
ablaZe at night with falling stars; so
they were pretty well worked up by
the time that Halley's comet ap-
peared.

were yesterday, and see it again-the
great and awful mysterious some
thing hanging up there, with its head
toward the east and the measureless
tail reaching as far as the eye could
see, until it was hidden behind the
mountains.
so the big comet is going to ap-
pear again? Are you sure 1t is the
same one that saw 75 years ago?
When informed that 1t was the
same Halley's comet and was already
visible, the old man sat up in won
derment. He could scarcely believe
that the evolution of the heavens
would again bring back the wonder
full sight, and that he would live to
see 1t a second time.
II have seen many comets In my
day; but, after all. they are not the
most wonderful things" he added
