Btore that is DESTROYS of locating in
Canielson. Suitable stores for such
a concern are very scarce in DanfeIson
at this time, or. in fact, it is practi-

possible that the desire of the con-

Parents of ]. Kenneth Nealey,
drowned at Old Killingly pond Sun
day, have been located at Hanpden
Heights, Me. and are expected here
to claim the body. The theory that
Nealey suffered a heart attack is not
accepted as wholly correct if at all,
by persons who have investigated the
case and they are more inclined to the
belief that a severe cramp was re-
sponsible for his death. For his age,
Nealey had an exceptional physique.
He was magnificently developed and
there was nothing outward to indicate
that he had a weak heart. Some be-
1ieve that If he could have been i'm
mediately brought to the surface re-
Euscitation would have been possible.

ROADS CRIPPLED
BY CAR SHORTAGE
Heavy Grain, Coal aud Live Stock
Movements Make it Impossible
for Them to Get Cars.
WILL LAST OVER THIRTY DAYS

Western railroads have once more
encountered the freight car shortage
and within the next ten days 1t gives
promise Of becoming the most acute
in the history Of traffic operations.
Until a week ago there we're plenty
OF cars for the transportation OF all
commodities. Suddenly the tighten
ing started and now It has reached
a point where none OF the roads opS
Grating in or out of Omaha can get
bold OF as many cars as Il can use.
President Mohler OF the Union Pa
cific sums the cause OF the car short
age up thus:
fright now n heavy movement of grain
has set In. The run Of live stock is I'M
usually large and the movement OF coal
from the mines Is something enormous.
Added TO this. great quantities OF mer-
chandise are going out from factories and
jobbing houses. and then on top OF all
this again the railroads have been com
PEELED to handle all Of the transconti-
mental freight between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts The slides in the Panama
canal have forced the vessels out of the
trade. and all OF sudden the railroads
have had to take over this enormous
tonnage"
Practically all the railroad freight men
anticipate that the car shortage will con-
tinue for thirty 20 sixty days. and that
MS time passes cars will be harder to get,
at least until the crest Of the grain and
coal movement has passed.
