His opportunity came when the gen

went after it, got 1t and rose to the
position of traffic manager.
In 1890 the Queen and Crescent

. o'clock yesterday morning following
an operation for appendicitis.
His death was announced by tele-
graph from Glacier Park, where he had

was stricken suddenly last Wednes-
day. Special trains carrying physicians
made record runs to the park from st.
Paul. Seattle and Great aFlls.
Declines After Operation.
A consultation was held and 1t was
decided that an immediate operation
was imperative. 1t was performed at
2:3O o'clock Saturday afternoon and
appeared to have been successful, but
the patients condition became worse
shortly after midnight, when a steady
decline began.
The body will arrive in Chicago to-
morrow, when arrangements for the
funeral will be announced. Services
probably will be held in Trinity church
and burial will be in Rosehill Gene
terry.

one of the most striking romances OF
success in the annals of railroading. He

SIGOURNEY HAS
A BIG BLAZE

Sigourney, Aug. 24.-The w. T. Lay
ton restaurant, situated on the north
side of the square was discovered to
be on fire this morning about 2 o'clock.
The building is frame structure, and
as the flames had apparently made
much Roadway before being discover
ed, it looked like the entire business
part Of the city north Of the square
would be destroyed. Most of the con-
tents of the building were removed
and piled out on the street but much
damage was done by the water. The
city fire department worked heroically
and finally got the fire under control
but not until the building was so bad
ly damaged that it Is total loss. The
building was owned by H. H. Killmer
and there is some insurance.

Moreover he added, the crown prince
