clays suitable for use in these indus
tries in Arkansas, Illinois. Missouri and

FEARED TRAIN WOULD
COLLIDE WITH CAR
Companions Escape by Wide Margin
but Frightened Mans Neck Is Bro

Train by 400 Feet-Tony Mitchell, Of
Lohrville, the Victim.

Fort Dodge, Oct 10.--An automobile
race to beat train across a track re-
suited IN the death of one man and the
narrow escape from injury of three
others All four, were from Lohrville
and Tony Mitchell, aged so, is the man
who was killed The accident happened
at SIS Saturday evening at the rail-
road crossing 1000 feet west OF the
station at Richards, the second station
on the Illinois Central west OF this
city on the line 10 Omaha.
Mitchell jumped to his death, &C
cording 10 the story received here by
local officials of the l. c.
The four men were driving south
and when within a short distance of
the track they heard passenger train
No. Il from the west. Thinking they
had time to cross. the driver speeded
up the auto and they did succeed in
crossing without injury TO the ma
chine or to the three occupants who
remained in the car. Mitchell how
ever, entreated the driver TO wait for
the train TO pass, and when the driver
increased the speed instead. Mitchell
became frightened and carried out his
intention to jump. The car was about
twenty five feet from the track when
he ieaped and the momentum carried
him to the rails. His skull vas frac-
tured and his neck broken and death
was almost instantaneous. Whether
death resulted from being struck by
the train or by the fall has not been
determined.
The trainmAn say that the auto
was 400 feet south Of the track when
the train passed. and. thinking all of
the men had crossed in safety. they
did not stop the train. News that a
man had been killed did not reach
them until they came TO Fort Dodge
Engineer Rhodes and Conductor Mann
were in charge of the train. The engi-
neer reported that he had whistled for
the crossing and had whistled a sec
ond time when he saw the lights OF
the auto. The train was going about
fifty miles an hour, 1t is said.

The life habits Of prehistoric man.
az well as his antiquity on earth. are
known almost entirely from fossil 70
mains Of various sorts. The data, how
ever, are very scanty and insufhctent
for strictly logical deductions. Tools
and hunting weapons, bones OF tropi-
cal fauna and remains Of man are
found in the gravel beds OF western
Europe. Apparently man antedates
the glacial period as this tropical
fauna there was previous to the leo
age and because remains Of glacial
fauna, together with human remains
occur in later geological deposits. Thus,
the antiquity Of man becomes ques-
don Of the date of the ice age, ana
