DEATH OF D. 3. HENDEE
Accident Resulted from Combination
of Circumstances

According to the railroad men who
composed the crew of the passenger
train over the Bennington branch
Tuesday, David B. Hendee, the aged
carpenter who was killed near
Haynes crossing, met his death
through a peculiar combination of cir
cumstances. Just before the train
reached the crossing he was standing
behind large wagon into which coal
was being loaded for Fillmore &
Slade. The noise created by the men
who were shoveling the coal dead
ened the roar of the approaching
train and he stepped out from behind
the wagon directly in front of the
locomotive.
The funeral will be held at 1890
o'clock Thursday forenoon from the
house of his niece, Mrs. Albina Per-
ham, on Union street. Rev. P. l..
Dow will of1iciate and the burial will
be in the Towslee cemetery in Pow
nal.

hanging fire there. He was probably
scared away from his Colorado prey by
fear of capture for the affair here. While
in Pueblo it is reported that Macy bought
accident insurance under the name of T.
A. Mendenhall and Lincoln police have
been advised this may be his real name.
According to G. B. Rose, cashier of the
bank. he found pad of blank checks
the Fourth National bank of Wichita ly
ing on the bank counter. A loose check,
filled out, called for $3.50. 1t is thought
Macy made this out first and then de-
cideo one for $500 would excite less sus-
picion.
Another alleged Macy victim has put in
his appearance in the person of J. E.
Mull1gan, an attorney of Hugoton, Kan,
whom Macy is said to have induced to
cash a SIS check the train while leav-
ing for Pueblo. So confident was Multi
gan that Macy was straight that he be-
came angry when told his friend had
swindled him. The returned check, how
ever, convinced him.
Advice has been received from the
Burns Detective agency stating they have
taken up the case and will push it will all
possible vigOr.

WILSON IS A DRESSER.
President Snatches Beau Brummel
Honors From Dewey.

Washington, May 5.-Admiral
George Dewey, the hero of Manila
bay. is fearful that the laurels Of the
beau brummel of Washington soci-
ETY., to say nothing of the American
navy, are to be snatched away from
him by no less a person than the
commander-in-chief of the navy,
Woodrow Wilson.
Before the advent of President Will
son. Admiral Dewey rested in undis-
turbed glory as the best dressed man
in Washington. But President Will
son, with his faultless get-up of be-
coming grays and browns, has put the
admiral on his mettle.
The gallant sea dog could stand the
onslaught were it not for the fact
that the president has captured the
famous Dewey grayS and made them
his own. This soft almost cream gray
has been for years reserved for Ad-
miral Dewey'S special wear, but alas,
President Wilson, perhaps innocently,
has adopted them and all Washington
waits to see what Admiral Dewey will
now do to preserve his reputation as
beau brummel.
The president affects silk sox and
neekties always matched with a hand
kerchief of corresponding color
jauntily placed in his breast pocket.
For day time informal wear the presi-
dent wears a sack coat and even re-
ceives delegations in the east room
in the afternoon without changing
into a frock coat. His frock coats are
of lusterless black cloth and bound
with black silk braid. Instead of the
regulation gray silk tie with this kind
of suit he wears a white silk four-in-
hand. His evening clothes have heavy
grained silk lapels and he wears a
pale gray brocaded vest with his din
ner jacket.
One popularity about the president
in his role of a we'll dressed man is
the fact that he never carries a cane
most of the other officials
have donned straw hats, the president
is still wearing soft feltS of gray and
brown to match his suits.
