INSTANTLY KILLED
Crushed to Death Between Freight
Cars.

lars.
Wednesday afternoon the city and thu
entire community were greatly shocked
when the news flashed over the tow
that Dick Edwards was dead.
In perfect health, 10 the meridian o
life, with all the comforts of life aboui
him, life was snuffed out without 3
moments warning
During wheat harvest and for some
days Mr.. Edwards had been very busy
man, and he was engaged in looking
after business connected with the wheat
crop when he lost his life.
A few minutes before five O'Clock be
drove his car to the Palace Hotel. From
there he walked up the Mobile e. Ohio
tracks to the plant Of the Union City
Elevator Co. Here he entered the office
and with Mr.. w. NJ. Warteriield, the
manager, closed business transaction
whereby he was to sell to the company
5000 bushels Of wheat from the Ed
wards farm over ia Kentucky near Mos
COW, and the wheat was to be put on the
cars at che latter place and shipped to
the elevator here. After chatting for a
short time with gentlemen present, Mr..
Edwards remarked that he wanted to
get the wheat out at once, would step
over to see Mr.. Bradshaw, the Mobile
& Ohio agent, about getting cars to
handle the crop.
Leaving the office he walked only a
few steps to the elevator track where
he met his death.
Standing on the elevator siding i'm
mediately in front OF the Office was an
empty box car. About three hundred
feet to the north was number of emp
ties, placed there by the railroad COM
pany to be used by the elevator people,
and the company had them cut loose
and brought down by hand as needed.
A few minutes before Mr.. Edwards left
the Office three of these reserve cars had
been started to the elevator, and just
at the moment when he was directly in
front OF the standing car the moving
cars caught his body, crushing out his
life almost instantly. Evidently caught
between the Drawbacks of the two cars.

A few inches either way, it is said, would
have prevented the awful accident.
There were no eye witnesses. He
made a cry for help, and Mr.. b. G.
Bramham, bookkeeper for the Elevator
Company, rushed to his side. When
first seen, he was standing between the
cars i'm crouched position in the space
OF few feet. When the cars came to-
gether the moving ones we're stopped
and the other one kicked" down the
track few feet. He staggered, lurched
forward and fell lifeless to the ground.
By this time Mr.. A. l.. Alexander and
Mr.. Warterfield were on the scene.
He was removed to the Office and
medical aid summoned, but before
anything could be done he was dead.
Thinking OF some business transaction
he failed to notice where he was going
or what was approaching.
The body was removed to the under
taking department OF the Home Furni-
ture Co., and later to his home, Whir-
mantha.
Dick Avesta Edwards, born Septem-
Der 25, 1872, was the oldest child
OF Or. and Mrs. Thos. j. Edwards.
His fathers death occurred about ten
years ago. On October 5, 1904, occurred
the determination OF his marriage with
Miss louie Gibbs, OF this city. He
was educated at Peabody College, Nash
vile, and graduated in law at Cumberr
land University, Lebanon. Some years
ago he gave up the practice OF law and
devoted bis entire time to his farming
interests and conducting private BUSH
ness. He was Democrat in politics,
and was a Colonel on Benton McMil-
Inns staff during both terms Of the
Governors administration.
He was charter member OF the
lodge OF Elks, was a member of the
knights OF Pythias and other fraternal
orders.
He never connected himself with any
church, but lived an honest, upright
life. Prompt to meet all business obli-
cations and truthful always, and pos
sessed good friends everywhere. This
is about all that can be said OF any
man. This can be truthfully said Of
Dick Edwards, and more, too. He was
exceedingly lenient and compromising
with the people who owed him. He was
charitable and the cry Of the orphan
appealed to him, and often in q quiet,
transformations way went to the treas

The Department therefore holds that
it is contrary to the law Of the state OF

trary to the law for any company to

resident agent, afterward to be filled
in and completed by a nonresident
agent to sign slips of approval to be

resident agents; but that all policies
issued must be completed by a resi-
dent agent, a complete recorc made OF
policies when same are issued, the
premium collected by resident agent,
and the commission allowed by the
company retained by the resident
agent.

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE

Information reaches the Department
that considerable amount Of fire in
surance covering risks or property sit.
uated in North Dakota is being written
by brokerage concerns located outside
of the state. Such practice is in d.
rect conflict with both the letter and
spirit of the provisions of Sections
1903, 4509 and 4510, Revised Codes
1905, and must be discontinued. The
language of Sec. 451O is clear and I'M.
equivocal:
mo insurance company or associa-
ton, not incorporated under the laws
OF this state, authorized to transact
business herein, shall make, write
place or cause to be made, written or
placed, any policy, duplicate policy or
contract of insurance Of any kind or
character, or general or floating policy,
upon property situated or located in
this state, except after the said risk
has been approved in writing by an
agent who is resident of this state,
regularly commissioned and licensed
to transact business therein, who shall
countersign all policies so issued and
make a record of the same on books
provided for that purpose and receive
the commission thereon when the
premium is paid, to the end that the
state may receive the taxes required
by law to be paid on the premium COL
lected for insurance on all property To-
Gated in the state, and the agents paid
the commission thereon"

Mr.. Lynch had been in failing
health for a long time.

He lived in that state until he
grew into manhood, when he
went to Illinois, where he lived
until a few years ago, when he
came to Kansas, settling on a
farm a few miles west of Baxter.
After about a year on the farm
he came to, town and engaged in
the grocery business.
After a very successful career
in business here he moved to

the same line of business. He
sold out there, and went to Gil
rard, where he went into the fur
niture business. In a shoft time,
however, he sold out and went
back to Columbus, and re-entered
the grocery business, and had
one of the biggest lines of trade
in that town.
He was here on a visit to his
sister, when his health took a
turn for the worse.
Funeral services we're held at
the M. E. church, in this city,
yesterday morning, and inter-
ment was made in the Baxter
cemetery.
Mr.. Lynch leaves several grown
children and a wife to mourn his
