ANOTHER LIFE LOST
ON RAILROAD TRACK
CHANGE AT BROWN-HART
STORE. WILL REMODEL

The Brown-Hart company of this
city, who have for a number of years
past, conducted one Of the most mod
ern up-to-date stores in the city, doing
general dry goods, clothing and groc-
cry business have decided to discontin-
ue the grocery department and are
blaming to remodel the interior of the
building occupied by them, arranging
the, fixtures for clothing, ready-to- wear
dresses and dry goods. After the
store has been re-arranged the busi-
ness Of the firm will be put on strict
1y cash basis. The feeling prevails
among the stockholders of the company
that they will be enabled to accomo-
date the trade with cheaper prices and
even better goods, under this system,
than in times past. When the inter-
ior is remodeled this already mammoth
store will be one of the finest in South
eastern Idaho. tits an evidence Of the
growth of this city and vicinity, that
every firm is preparing to enlarge its
business.

THANKS TO EVERYONE

Last Monday we published the first
issue of the semiweekly; Optimist. and
from points all over the county, we
have received compliments for the
step we have taken. Our original in
tentions to publish but four pages
twice week, instead of eight pages
once a week, but the issue today bears
evidence Of the attitude the advertis-
ing public take toward the paper and
instead Of printing four pages we pre-
sent you with eight, the regular size
of the weekly issue. Using the catch
phrase Of Glandville, the photographer,
eve lead, and others will probably try
to follow We will do the best we can
to give the increasing number of SUBJ
scribers to the Optimist all the news
just as we can get patronage enough ia
justify our getting out paper.

Fast Freight Cuts Body Entirely in
Two.-Jury Returns Verdict Of Un-
due NegIigence.-Funerai Will be
Held Today.

Iva Childs, a siX-year-Old school girl
of Shelley, was instantly killed short
ly after o'clock yesterday afternoon,
being run over by a freight train in
front of the depot at Shelley.
1t seems that the young girl was
standing on the main line watching a
freight train from the south pull onto
the siding. So interested was the child
in watching the train that she did not
notice the train from Idaho Falls,
which was a through sheep train and
had the right of way, coming down the
main line. The southbound through
freight, which killed the girl, wac
known as Extra No. 1919.
Coroner Peck of this city, was noti-
fled of the accident and arrived in
Shelley on Train 113, Tuesday after
noon. An inquest was held and the
corcner's jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the train crew did not
use due diligence in watching for such
cases. Engineer Forrest and Fireman
Erickson both testified that they did
not see the child at any time and they
did not know that the train had hit
her until notified by the train crew.
Despite the verdict Of the Jury, many
Of the witnesses to the accident think
that it was entirely unavoidable so far
as the train crew was concerned
The body was severed at point
just above the hips, the legs, still join
ed together, remaining in the center of
the track, while the trunk was thrown
few feet to one side.
It was q most horrible sight, though
the victim probably suffered but little,
as death must have been almost in
stantaneous.
Little Iva Childs was the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. T. Childs
Of Shelley. Mr.. Childs is connected
with the Shelley Mercantile Hardware
company and is most highly respect
ed citizen and the grief Of the commun
ity go out to him and his distracted
wife.
The burial of the body will take
place at Shelley today.
