IOWA HEROINE DIES
KATE SHELLY cRAWLED OVER
BIG BRIDGE IN TEMPEST TO
STOP TRAIN.
STATE GIVES HER GOLD MEDAL
Woman, Famous for Daring Deed
When But IS Years Old, Succumbs
to 5rlght's Disease Following OPP
Grafton for Appendicitis

Boone, Ia.-Miss Kate Shelly, Iowa's
heroine who in 1881 at great personal
risk, saved passenger train from be-
ing wrecked, is dead at the age of
forty-five years at her home near
scene of her heroic deed.
Miss Shelly had suffered greatly
since last summer. when an operation
attack of Bright's disease, but she
was as brave in the face of death as
when she won renown.
The deed which placed Kate Shell
ly's name in the list of heroines was a
bright example of the courage OF a
fifteen-year-old girl who believed she
was saving the lives OF hundreds of
the passengers on limited train on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
although, later developments proved,
the number of lives she actually saved
was two 81
Passengers on the limited at once
made up a purse for the brave girl
and railroad men undertook to raise
contributions In recognition of her
heroism. Appeals of the press to the
public for similar contributions failed
to bring a hearty response because
Northwestern railroad officials at once
called attention to the fact that the
limited train had not been endangered
and by issuing statement that Miss
Shelly would be amply rewarded.
AS a matter of fact, the locomotive
had been sent out to see that the
bridge was safe and the limited train
would not have proceeded beyond
Moingona until the engine crew had
reported from the next station. But
this did not minimize the heroism of
the girls act. and a short time later
the Iowa legislature passed an act
awarding Miss Shelly gold medal.
Soon after. Miss Shelly was made
station agent OF the railroad at Moin-
gona. position she held for years.

The car was settling gradually into
peace. But there was still some muir
muir and drowsy energy. Shoes con-
tinued to drop. heads to bump against
upper berths, the bell to ring now
and then, and ring again and again.
The porter paid little heed to It;
he was busy making up number five

she could for her trousseapless, hus-
bandless, dogless first night out.
Finally the Englishman, who had al
most rung the bell dry OF electricity,
showed from his berth his indignant
and undignified head Once more the
car resounded with the cry of Paw
tab! Pawtah!"
The porter moved up with notice
able elaboration. Did you ring,
sah?"

draw my tub at eight-thutty In the

gasped.

"One just waits. Yassah. one and

He finished preparing Marjorie's
