JOHN PRESTON, OF BELMoND
FAILS TO SECURE VERDICT
FOR DEATH OF DAUGHTER
SUED M. & ST. L. FOR
I FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
Asked $4,000 as Administrator Of Es-
tate-Miss Preston One of Party Of
Four Riding in Auto Hit by Train
Company Shows Victims Did Not
Take Proper Precautions.

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion. Nov 24.-Aftcr being out
one and onel half hours the jury in the
case of John Preston, administrator
Louis Railroad Company brought in a
verdict for the defendant railroad last
night.
The case, which was for $4,000
damages for the death of Miss Gladys
Preston, aged % dau, ghter of the plain
tiff, has been on trial in the Wright
county district court here, before Judge
E. NJ. Mccall, Of Nevada, since Mon
day, and has been contested hotly by
the attorneys on both sides.
Miss Preston was one of a party of
four young people who, on Aug. IL,
1915, while riding in an automobile,
were struck by No. 2 the south-bound
afternoon passenger train on the NJ. &
st. L., at, the Mckinley street crossing
in Hampton. The other members Of
the party were Harold Rice, of BOWS;
Carl Gaynote, of Popejoy and Mrs. L.
V. Sharp, of Belmond. Miss Preston
was killed almost instantly and the
other three. occupants of the car were
injured, Gaynote seriously.
The attorneys for the railroad COM
pany showed by a large number OF
witnesses that the members of the
automobIling party were careless, were
driving recklessly, at a speed between
thirty and forty miles an hour, and
that they paid no attention either to
the crossing warning or to the whistle
of the engine for the crossing.
Other Suits Pending.
Two other suits are pending against
the railroad company as a result of the
same accident. How the verdict OF
this, case will affect the others, is, of
course, not known. Mrs. Sharp has
brought suit for $4,000 in this county.
The other case Is that of John Cor
coran, Of Popejoy, for $1,000. Corcoron
was owner of the automobile in which
the members of the party were driving.
and is suing for damages for the
demolition of his car. Rice and Gaynote
it was shown in the Preston case, had
taken Corcoran's car without his
knowledge, in order to take the young
women out driving. The Corcoran case
was tried at Hampton last spring, but
was dismissed while on trial and be-
gun again in this county.

1t would be quite unavailing for me
to attempt to describe these drill SER
geants. The British drill sergeant is
IN institution which can be understood
only through personal and close con-
tact and Is about as cordial as loose
electricity. If he thinks major gen.
eral is wrong he'll tell him so on the
spot in the most emphatic way, but
without ever violating a single sacred
tradition of the service. The sergeantS
who took us in charge to put on the
real polish to our training had all seen
from twenty to twenty-five years Of
service. They had all been through
the battles Of Mons and the Marine,
and they had a. been wounded. They

Of them ordered all Of our commission

turn out for rifle drill one day and put
them through the manual Of arms

A Call for Volunteers.
On June 2, after the third battle Of
Ypres, while Mcfarland and I were
sitting YEARLY on our hunks during
a strange hour in the afternoon when
nobody had thought Of anything for
us to do, a soldier came in with a
message from headquarters which put
sudden stop to the discussion we
were having about the possibility Of
getting leave to 60 up to London. The
message was that the First, Second
and Third divisions OF the Canadians
had lost 40 per cent Of their men in the
third fight at Ypres and that 300 volun.
teers were wanted from each Of our
battalions to fill up the gaps.
"Forty per cent" said Mcfarland

even get up to give in our names. The
whole battalion had gone up ahead of
us. They heard about it first. That
was the spirit Of the Canadians. 1t
was about this time that story went
round concerning an English colonel
who had been called upon to furnish
volunteers from his outfit to replace
casualties. He backed his regiment up
against barrack wall and said:
'Now, all who don't want to volun-

officers offered to 60 as privates. Nc
