JAMES, GAPFEYI
KILLED BY TRAIN
Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Gatfey is
Struck by Hawkeye Express Fri.
V. day Night at Local Station
DEATH ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS
Had Gone to Northwestern Station to
Meet His Sister and Was Killed
While Crossing Tracks.

Mr.. James Gaffey, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Patrick Gaffey, was almost in.
stantly killed at the Chicago & North
western passenger station on Friday
night OF last week at about 1890
o'clock. when he was struck by the
Hawkeye Express while endeavoring
to cross the tracks from the station
to the platform on the south side OF
the tracks. ;.
The train, which was over two hours
late, was pulling into the station ut a
good rate OF speed and struck the UNI
fortunate man on the hip. throwing
him down onto the roadbed and the
car journals struck him, inficting
wounds which soon resulted in death.
The terrible accident was witnessed
by scores OF passengers who were on
the platform waiting for the incom-
ing train, but it seems that nothing
cOnld be done to save Mr.. Gatfey.
Earlier In the evening Mr.. Gaffey
had gone to the station to meet the
Hawkeye Express. which is due at
$40, expecting his sister. Miss Kate.
who was coming home to spend the
week end with her family from her
school in Hayes township. He in
auired of the operator when the train
would arrive and upon being told that
il was two hours late he went back
home to be with his father and moth
er and keep them company until train
time. MRS. Gaffey had prepared 4
luncl, which abe planned to serve al
ter the daughter had arrived. but on
account of the lateness OF the train
tho three sat down and enjoyed the
meal together. When it was about
time for the train to come Mr.. Gatfey
bid his parents good bye. telling them
that he would hurry back with his sis
ter as soon as. possible.
1t was at,fearfnlly cold night and

pie who were TO take the train. II is
said that o freight train came in about
this time ami backed onto the siding

with the glaring headlight it was al
most impossible to see the light Of
No. 10 any distance away. There was
more or. less confusion at the depot
that night and when the train was
called by the might operator the wait.

ing passengers started across the
tracks, but some returned, thinking
that the train would not be in for sew
eral minutes longer. Mr.. Gaffey
stood in the doorway looking down the
tracks and doubtless was blinded by
the electric headlight from the freight
on the siding and did not notice the
passenger train until it had almost
reached the east end OF the platform,
when he darted out OF the door and
started to run across the tracks. II
he had been able to take just one more
step he would have escaped, but was
struck by the pilot on the hip and
thrown down to the side of the track
between the cars and the platform.
Miss Gaffey was one Of the first pas
sengers to alight from the train and
she was overcome when she saw her
brother lying on the platform. The
trainmen carried the injured man to
the waiting room and physicians were
hastily summoned, but he only lived
q few moments. The ambulance was
called and the body taken to the
family residence on West Walnut
street, where the aged parents were
so patiently awaiting the coming OF
their two children and the shock was
a most severe one to them. isiA

Should Take immediate Steps to
Overcome the Trouble

The community was startled a week
ago by the report that an analysis OF
the city water showed impurities in 1t,
and of such a nature as may develop
disease.
1t is most unfortunate that the peo-
pie OF any community should be en-
posed to the use of water liable to de-
velop disease, We do not know who
Is to blame for it, but we do know that
ii human effort can remedy the con-
dition neither expense nor any other
excuse should be offered. 1t Is little
satisfaction to the people to be told
that they can avoid danger by boiling
the water as it Is not always conven-
lent to boil the water. and 1t is need
less to say that this precaution will not
generally answer.
Various causes have been assigned
for the condition OF the water. 1t is
argued by some that the trouble comes
from shallow wells which furnish the
water to- the city, which permits the
surface water to find its way into the
wells. If this Is the cause OF the
trouble then what should be done
would be to provide deeper wells. We
are in favor of the city Immediately
!! taking steps to dig we'll Of great
depth in order to insure purer sup.
fply OF water. If the city has not the
means to do it then the amount to
cover the expense should he raised
by subscription.
This is not the first time that the
health OF the community. has been
threatened by impurities in the water
here, and while we do not desire to
appear in the roll OF an alarmer. we
do insist that something should be
done at once. 1t is said that certain
officials here sought to suppress the
report that came that the water is
tainted and II this is so the responsi-
bility of looking after the quality Of
THE water should be fMlly investigated
with a view of overcoming the danger
which Is a menace to. the community.

one of the best exhibitions of this

easy matter for the locals to score.
In this half Denison played consider
ably in hard luck and fumbled the

THE VALUE OF KEEPING oyIt~r

We have heard a great deal about the ability
TO talk, TO speak to converse recent writer
stated that the reason women talk so much more
than men is that talk is their contribution TO
The world, their justification OF themselves their
contribution toward keeping things alive and
moving. That definition goes part of the way
but not all of IT. Suppose everybody talked
what good would the talking do For nobody
who wants to talk listens to anyone else for be-
ing ever on the watch for chance TO get in
word
We rather glad therefore. that siIence
has been rewarded. What Is more 1t was 81
lent girl who got the reward, which amounted
to twenty-five thousand dollars. 1t seems that
even at the early age OF five years this maiden
learned the art OF holding her tongue and her
accomplishment earned her not only the life.
