Five laborers are missing and their

The wreck occurred on a sharp curve
a mile west of McCartys in a binding

the engineers of the extra freight train.
The work train was standing on the
main line and because of the storm all
the laborers were aboard at the time of
the accident. Those killed were eating
dinner in the rear car of the work
train.
Though Section Foreman Ward, his
wife and the assistant foreman, were
killed outright, the five children of the
Wards, in the same car, were tossed a
hundred feet into field nearby, all be-
ing injured seriously. A score of Mex

Cross was the first to offend by hit

White cautioned him. Immediately
afterward Hogan hit Cross over the
referees shoulder and was in turn
cautioned. Then Hogan hit Cross five
times in breakaways and the referee
disqualified the westerner.
Immediately on disqualification, Ho-

Christmas presents and medicine for
his son who has tuberculosis.
Terrell was arrested at Bloomfield,
KY, where he lives, just as he ended
his rur and was preparing to go
home, and admitted his guilt when
confronted with the fact that he had
fallen into a trap by taking a marked
bill from a registered letter.
He was brought here and placed in
Jail. There he told the officers that
his sons illness had put him to great
expense. Then his daughter became
seriously i'll. and he was compelled to
tell the children they would receive
no Christmas presents. They cried
and he could not bear it, So he took
81 from a letter and bought them
presents. Another time later he took
81 fl pm a letter to purchase medicine
and then he made the fatal error of
picking out the registered letter con-
tanning the marked bill.

Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

The announcement of the appoint
ment of a superintendent of motive
power Of the Santa Fe to succeed the
late w. F. Buck is expected in To-
peka soon. H. w Jacobs, assistant
superintendent of motive power of the
road with headquarters in Topeka, is
in Chicago now comforting with w. B.
Storey, Jr., vice president. in charge
of operation and the mechanical de-
partment of the road.
Before Mr.. Jacobs returns or i'm
mediately after his return it is said
that the announcement will be made.
In Topeka railroad circles the Cos
sip is that the appointment has mar
rowed down to two men-John Pur-
cell superintendent of shops in this
city and z. Poison, engineer of car
construction in Chicago. 1t is stated
on every hand that If Vice President
Storey makes an appointment of a
System" man it will be either Pur-
cell or Poison.
H. w. Jacobs is not in the race for
superintendent of motive power. In
the first place it is known that Mr..
Jacobs does not want the office and
in the second place it is known that
Mr.. Jacobs will not be in railroad
work very much longer. He has con-
templated doing other things, it is
that will not be sustained by the as
sistant superintendent of motive
power.
IF the Santa Fe vice president de-
cides that he wants superintendent
from another road, it is rumored from
the west, that he will choose c. NJ.
Taylor, superintendent of motive pow
er and equipment of the third district
of the Rock Island Lines. Taylor is
one of the best mechanical men on the
Rock Island and has a good reputa-
ton all over the railroad world.
In railroad circles in Topeka it is
hoped that the Santa Fe will not go to
another road for superintendent of
motive power. The Santa Fe'S repu-
tation TO take care of its own men
has given the road magnificent staff
of competent men who believe there is
something ahead for them.

Stenographer is Years Ago.
Kansas City, Mo, March 14.-Last
fifteen years after he had accepted his
first position in railroad work, o. L.
Dickson of Chicago was made presi-
dent of the Yukon & White Pass rail
way. Today he is barely "a years old
and is the youngest of all railroad
presidents. The story of his rise from
a stenographer's position with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway
is one of the most stirring in railroad
annals.
Within a week after he was made a
stenographer, Dickson was promoted
to head of the car tracing department.
He made good with a rush. A year
later he was transferred to Omaha as
assistant superintendent of transporta-
ton Then for twelve years he rose
steadily in the Burlington ranks Three
years ago a new road, the Yukon &
White Pass, needed young men. Dicke-
son was made vice president. Now he
has reached the chief executive posi-
ton. In addition to his railroad duties
the Yukon & White Pass owns sixteen
steamships and conducts coastwise
service.
