TRAIN KILLS CAPE MAN
Roy Montgomery Fought to Get In
Front of Engine, Brother Says.

Roy Montgomery, a laborer of this
city, was struck by a Frisco train
near Rockview, early yesterday morn
ing, and was instantly killed.
Montgomery and his half brother,
Edward Hutchins, had gone to Skies
ton a few days ago in search of work,
and failing to secure employment,
started to walk back to the Cape. They
stayed in Chaffee Tuesday night and
walked out of that place at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Hutchins stated yesterday that when
they reached Rockview they met a
strange negro who produced a flask
of whiskey and invited him and Mont
gomery to drink. He said: u refused
to drink anything, but Roy and the
negro drank until the bottle was emp
ty.
1--WE walked on for about three miles
when Roy refused to go any further
and insisted on sitting down on the
end of tie to rest. He sat there and
soon fell asleep. When l heard the
train coming l shook him and tried to
arouse him. I told him that the train
was coming and that he must get
away from the track.
"He refused to obey me, and said
that he did not care if the train was
coming. When the train drew near, l
seized him and pulled him away from
the track, but he jerked loose from
me and ran back on the track just in
front of the engine"
Montgomery was killed instantly,
and his body badly mutilated. The re-
mains were brought to this city where
an inquest was ordered. Coroner

DOG BITES A CHAUFFEUR
Canine Attacks Self to Man Who
Enters Yard.

Robert Hyatt, a chauffeur, was at
tackled by vicious dog at a farm
house on the Bend road yesterday aft
ernoon when he entered the premises
for the purpose of inquiring the way
to the Sanford farm.
When Mr.. Hyatt left his car and en-
tered the gate, he did not see the dog,
which was lying concealed under some
heavy shrubbery by the path leading
from the gate to the house. After he
had gotten some distance past the
clump of bushes, the dog, leaped from
his place of hiding and seized the un-
suspecting Hyatt in the thigh. The
dog maintained his hold and stubborn
ly resisted every effort to disengage
him. Finally the lady passengers came
to the assistance of the unfortunate
chauffeur, and succeeded in freeing
him by beating the angry dog over the
head with their umbrellas.

"LOST" CHILD FOUND
With Her BROTHER
Small Girl Travelling in Care of
Conductor is Met by hin
at Depot.

lOlen Gordon, 4 9-nine-year old girl
of Pocahontas, Ark, when brought to
this city last night in the care of Con-
ductor Emil Sebastian. mysteriously
disappeared from the depot while Mr..
Sebastian was engaged in making his
report after finishing his run from
HOXie.
He had left the little girl sitting on
one of the benches in the waiting
room and had instructed her not to go
away until he came after her. When
he made his report and was ready to
leave the depot he walked into the
waiting room, expecting to find his
charge waiting for him.
He was greatly astonished to find
her seat vacant, and no one in the
room who could give him any informa-
ton as to what had become of the
little girl. He finally appealed to the
police, and systematic search was in
stituted.
No satisfactory results were obtain
ed until someone suggested that he
had seen child answering the descrip-
tion given, enter the st. Charles Hotel
with a stranger who was leading her.
The party at once reported to the st.
Charles where it was learned that l..
D. Roberts, of Conran, a brother of
the little girl, had been advised of her
coming, and had gone to the train to
mee- her.
When he saw her sitting alone in
the depot, it did not occur to him that
she was being cared for by the con-
ductor, and he took her away without
advising anyone of his purpose.
Olen was on her way to Gideon,
and when she boarded the train at Po-
cahontas yesterday her parents re-
quested Mr.. Sebastian to look after
her until she was safely on her way
from this city to Gideon.
Mr.. Sebastian was considerably ex-
cited over the mysterious disappear
ance of his charge, but when she was
discovered, he was entirely willing for
the big brother to assume the respon-
sibilities of caring for her during the
rest of her journey.

Charge of School in
Tennessee.

| DIR. E. A. Hayden, who for the past
ten years has held a chair in the State
Normal as professor of philosophy,
has accepted a position with the
Woman's State College at Tallahassee,
Fla. He will take up his work as in
structor of philosophy and psychology
in that institution at the opening of
the fall term in September.
Dr. Hayden will continue his serv-
ice with the State Normal until he
leaves for Florida in the fall, and will
teach during the summer term.
DIR. Hayden is regarded as one of
the most able men on the faculty, and
it is generally regretted that he has
decided to seek a different location in
which to carry on his work.
In speaking of his contemplated
change DR.. Hayden expressed regret
at being removed from the pleasant
associations with which he had been
surrounded during his term of service
as. an instructor in the Normal, and
gave as his principal reason for leav-
ing, a desire to seek a climate more
suitable to his physical condition. For
some time his health has not been good
and upon the suggestion OF his physi-
clans he seeks this change in altitude
and climatic conditions.

ton submitted to the Rails County
Court by the Hannibal Railway and
Electric Company to obtain permis-
sion to construct an electric transmits
sion line through that county to con-
meet with the KeOkuk Power Com

SALARY WILL NOW
BE $4,000 A YEAR
County, University and Uncle
Sam Will Split Expenses

After deliberation two days over
the question of farm adviser, the
County Court, before adjournment yes

Bryan Issues Statement With
More Reasons For ReSigning

three-fourths of all the people of the
world
Among the nations with which we
have treaties are Great Britain, Rus
sia and Frame No matter what dis
putes may arise between US and these
treaty nations, We agree that there
shall be no declaration of war and no
commencement of hOstilities until the
matters in dispute have been investi-
gated by an international commission,
and a years time is allowed for in
vestigation and report.
"This plan was offered to all the
nations without any exception what
ever, and Germany was one of the ma
tiOns that accepted the principle, be-
ing the twelfth, l think, to accept.
"No treaty was actually entered into
with Germany, but l cannot see that
that should stand in the way, when
both nations endorse the principle. |
do not know whether Germany would
accept the offer, but our country
should, in my judgment, make the Of

"Such an offer, if accepted, would at
once relieve the tension and silence all

Germany has always been a friendly
nation, and great many of our peo-
pie are Of German ancestry. Why

1.-TWO of the points upon which we

Americans against travelling on bellig-

BABY, YEARS
OLD, RUN over
BYBREAD WAGON
Earnest Wielpuetz Says He
Never Noticed Child as it
Passed Under Rig.
BABY ESCAPES WITH
NO FRACTURED BONES
Son of Charles Rub May be
Internally Hurt, Physicians
Fear.

Charles Rub Jr., the 2-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rub of 535
South Hanover street, was run over
and seriously injured by a passing
bakers wagon yesterday morning. The
wagon was driven by Ernest Wiel-
puetz.
Mrs. J. W. Slinkard, who lives near
the Ruh home, witnessed the accident
and from her house saw the baby
leave the sidewalk and step in front of
the team. She stated that the child
was knocked down by one of the horses
and that the wagon passed over its
body.
Mr.. Wielpuetz continued to drive on
down the street, while Mrs. Slinkard
rushed to the rescue of the injured
tot. She gathered the little victim into
her arms and hur.iedly carried it to its
mother.
For sometime after being carried
into the house the child was uncon-
scious, but later revived and showed
indications of great suffering. It's arm
and shoulders were bruised and swol-
len, and the marks left by the heavy
wheels were plainly visible where they
passed over the lower part of the
body and across both legs.
A physician was summoned, and aft
er a hasty examination, it was feared
that one of the legs was broken.
Later in the day when the pain had
subsidized and the child had become
Quilted, it was discovered that while
the leg was badly bruised, there were
no broken bones. While the marks
of the wheel are plainly visible on
both limbs across the thighs, both
ankles were injured in some manner,
and are badly swollen and inflamed.
After Mr.. Wielpuetz had driven past
the Rub home he turned and came
back, and when he was informed of
the accident by some of the neigh
bors, he expressed much surprise.
The little fellow has suffered almost
constantly since he was run over, and
it is feared that he received internal
injuries.
When Mr.. Wielpuetz was interview
ed by a Tribune reporter last evening,
he said:
"When Mrs. Slinkard told me that
| had run over a child l could not be-
lieve it. When l passed the Rub home
| could see no one on the walks or
in the street. / cannot understand
how | failed to see the little fellow.
81 certainly regret the occurrence
and would surely have stopped and
looked after the baby had / known
that | had injured him."

PROF. VAETH WILL
STUDY In MADRID
Normal Teacher Gets Degreefrom
Columbia, Then Prepares to
Go Abroad.

Joseph Vaeth, for several years a
teacher Of languages at the State Nor
NAL school, and considered one of the
best educated men in Missouri, is go
ing to spend the summer studying
Spanish in Madrid, Spain.
A letter from Prof. Vaeth to Dr.
r. F. Wichterich yesterday, stated that
Mr.. Vaeth had just finished a course
at the Columbia University, New
York, where he won the degree of
Doctor of Languages.
Prof. Vaeth expects to sail for
Spain within the next few days, and
is undecided whether he will return
this autumn or not. His position at
the Normal school will be open for
him when he returns, it was announced
yesterday.
FrOf. Vaeth had intended to study
in France and Germany during the
past year, but Just as he was prepar-
ing to sail for Paris, the war broke
out. He then decided to remain in the
United States, believing that the con-
flict would be of short duration. When
it did not end, he entered the Columbia
University shortly after the opening
of the school term and spent the year
there.
He was a student at the Normal
school here and upon his graduation
was employed as a teacher. He was
considered the most proficient linguist
in this city.

Form Reading Clubs.

One of the most interesting
and profitable employments for
long winter evenings is reading.
There is no better way to begin
than to get up clubs composed of
a few friends who will stick to-
gether for the accomplishment
of some object. Do not make
the clubs too large. If each in
vests a dollar, and the club has
ten members, each member will
then get ten dollars worth of
reading matter and be out only
the dollar. The books, or period
icals are exchanged. Make very
few rules; but make them bind
ing. Set a limit to the time that
each member may keep a book.

What viii YOu Read?

In addition to the FULTON
COUNTY News, have you thought
what you will read this winter?
Stories are all right; but to read
nothing but stories would be too
much like eating sweetcake for
an exclusive diet. We are not
agents for periodicals; but being
in the publishing business, we
might be able to guide you to the
selection Of good winter reading.
At any time you wish, drop in and
give US an idea Of the nature of
the reading you would like.
There are magazines suited to
family reading, while some are
devoted to mechanics, agriculture
stock raising, &c. Keep tn e
young folks in mind. Remember
that their future is often shaped
by what you put into their hands
TO read, or by what you withhold.
How does what you read as q boy
or girl affect you now? For
good; or for evil? Has it helped
you?' Your boy or girl should
have the benefit of your expert
ence in this matter, in just the
way you now see that you should
have received guidance from your
parents. When the boy who
likes to read is handicapped by
having to buy his reading by the
ten cents worth, itnearly always
is ruinous trash. Don't you
wish you had never read, or
could forget the vile, useless stuff?
Don't you wish that you had been
given reading that would now
help you in your business? Sure
you dove all do. Do you feel
that your parents neglected you
in the matter of reading? Shall
your boys grow up with the same
feeling toward you?
