CHANCE FOR A PARK.
City Could Make Handsome Grounds
Easily.

A number of Abilene people who
have long regretted the failure OF
the city In early days to provide a
downtown park, are interesting
themselves in a movement to bring
about the purchase by the city or by
a committee of citizens of the strip
of land lying east of the fair grounds
and fronting the creek along Its
northeast corner.
This strip is at present divided in
to two tracts, one being owned by
M, Nicolay and the other by Hiland
Southworth.
Such a park, it is suggested, could
have its main entrance from Vine
street on the east, where attractive
terraces would be laid out along the
creek bank, and its main driveways
could be located in such way as
to make lit practically continuous
with the county fair grounds, which
is at present the only real park with
in the city limits.
Those who have visited the fair
grounds during the last few weeks
and observed the many evidences of
the splendid care it has received will
favor any plan which will enable
Abilene to make use of this fine be-
ginning of city park.

said Flack had seen to it. Investi-
cation showed that he had lost her
papers four years ago but never told
her. Since 1905 he has oeea paying
her $96 year out of the banks

H. M. HUFFMAN FORMERLY
OF ABILENE, WRECK VICTIM
Was Baggage Man on Rock Island
and Died at His Post.

Herman Miller Huffman, killed in
the wreck of Rock Island train No,
81 near Clayton Wednesday, was an
old-time resident of Abilene, being a
brother of G. G.. Huffman of this
city. Mr.. Huffman was one of the
oldest men in the Rock Island ser
vice. Though free to choose almost
any position in h'a department he
might have desired, he had for many
} ears preferred to remain at the post,
&c baggageman on the Kansas City
Denver trains, from which death fin
ally called him. Born in Illinois he
came here with his parents at the
age of five, and when he was four
teen entered the employ of the Rock
Island under o. P. Byers at the time
the road was built through Abilene
between Harrington and Salina. At
the age of sixteen he was transferred
to Kansas City, where he served for
two years on one of the southern
runs. He was then promoted to a
place on the Kansas City-Denver line,
where he has served ever since.
Herman Huffman had many
friends, and was universally liked
for his genial, pleasant disposition.
He had a delightful home in Kansas
City. His wife and one little daugh-
ter survive him. Funeral in Kansas
City Monday.
Huffman was pinned down in
heap of heavy trunks and car frag-
ments with tons of wreckage above
him. Nearly every bone in his body
is thought to have been broken. Rain
aroused him fro mfrequent spells Of
and his appeals for
aid were pitiful.
All efforts to reach him failed un-
til, finally a physician crawled into
the wreckage and discovered bolt
hole through which he could pass a
hypodermic syringe. He administed
a powerful opiate and Huffman's
pain was relieved. After ~ hours
he was taken out of the wreekage
and died soon after.
The wreck was the result Of a
which carried out a steel
bridge over what is normally almost
a dry bed, turning the latter into a
torrent many yards wide and twenty
feet deep, and washing out nearly
a thousand feet of track in the vic
Unity Of the wreck. The train, run
ming at full speed. plunged into the
gap. the engine and mail car going
down into twenty feet Of water, and
The chair car almost telescoped the
smoker ahead Of 1t, many OF the
passengers in these two cars being
almost instantly killed. Others we're
,arried into the raging stream with
he wreckage. and It was many hours
,efore their bodies could be reooy-
red. Fifteen other we're killed and
10 injured.
