Unconscious Man Is Found
Along the Tracks of the
Chicago and Milwaukee
Near Burlington Road.
DOUBLE FRACTURE or SKULL

&
Mystery surrounds the identity of a
man seemingly thirty-fye years of
age, who was probably fatally injured
about eight o'clock Monday night
when he was struck by a erain the
Chicago, Milwaukee ana N,rth 5a)ra
Railway lines near the Burlington Road
crossing. The man is in a semi
conscious condition at the Kenosha
hospital and DR.. FL. A. Robinson, who
IS attending him, sees little hope for
him to recover consciousness. He has
double fracture of the skull and a
mangled left shoulder. The man was
found lying in the west ditch along
the railway tracks near the road cross
ing just after eight clock last night
by the members of train crew In
charge of an express train. He was
moaning and crying and it is thought
probable that he had been struck by
a north bound train which had passed
the crossing only a short time before
No reports of such an accident
had been made at the local station
of the company today.
The crew of the express train picked
up the mangled man and brought him
to the local station where he was plac-
ed in an ambulance and taken 20 The
Kenosha hospital. Later he appeared
to be semi-conscious and efforts were
made to learn his identity. Nurses
y
watching at the bedside heard him
calling out 'tDavid'' but when they
sought to find what he meant or who
he was the man appeared to be unable
to understand. There was nothing in
his pockets which would aid in making
the Identification. The initials F. P'
were found on his clothing. In his
pockets was some money, a gold watch
and bag of candy which evidently
had not been opened. Tt is supposed
that the man was walking along the
track when he was struck by the train
but it seems remarkable that any train
could have struck him without the
members of the train crew knowing Of
the accident. Every possible effort is
being made to learn the identity of
the victim of the accident. 1t is

thought that he was a workman in
one Of the Kenosha factories. DIR.
Robinson questioned him this morning,
but he could not ascertain the name.
In response to question "have you
a wife or children?" the man said Gin
the old country.'
With such severe injuries the physi-
clans in charge declared that it was
doubtful if the man could survive the
day Officials of the company came to
Kenosha this morning and started an
investigation with view of learning
just how the man met his injuries.

A lot of people are protesting loudly
against the proposed change in the
makeup Of the National Guard regi-
ments. The men who are in charge of
the army are probably better versed in
army organization than the people in
Kenosha. The men who went to the
army from Kenosha went to the army
and not to the few officers who had
been commissioned to lead them. Let
the men who know work out the des-
tiny of the army with the understand
ing that they will have whole-hearted
support of the friends of the soldiers
at bome.s

The Red Cross has made some
changes in organization lately in or
der to handle the vast and ever in
creasing demands made upon it and
it seems desirable for the county to
know something about the new order
of things. The re-adjustments have
all been made in the way of simplif
cation.
In the matter of reports of money
and memberships, a chain has been
established. The individual reporting
to the branch. the branch to the coun.
ty chapter. the chapter to the state
headquarters and the state to Wash
ington.
AS to the procuring of materials and
the shipping OF finished work, this
country Is divided into thirteen groups
Minnesota, North and South Daokta
and Montana forming one group with
headquarters at Minneapolis. So an
other chair Is established, individuals
giving their finished work to the
branch with which they are working,
the branch sends 1t on to the county
chapter, the chapter sends to Mime
apolis and Minneapolis sends on to
New York. The advantages Of such
a system and the division of work
and responsibility it implies is evil
dent.
AS to further details concerning
county organization, headquarters con
business with the chapter, which Is
located at the county seat, or the
largest city in the county. The OH
GERS are located at this place.
Every member Of the Red Cross in
the county, working or not, Is a mem
Der of this chapter. To do the work
conveniently, all those who live near
enough, work at the chapter work
rooms. Those more remote who wish
to form a working group and have a
proper sort Of work room, etc, may
do so with the permission of the chap
ter, after presenting a written appli
cation blank, both of which must be
kept on file with the secretary Of the
chapter.
In the matter Of providing and pay

a matter Of convenience to all con
cerncd. Any portion of membership

We are allowed 50c) and all donations,
etc, raised by the county goes for

tack was the swift silent assault OF the
wolf, combined with the greater cour-
age, the fury and the strategy of the
husky. Another husky would have died
in that first attack. But the lynx was
not a dog or a wolf. 1t was 'Mow-lee,
the swift as the Sarcees had named

ness. kazan's inch-long fangs should
have sunk deep in its jugular. But in

had thrown itself back like a huge soft
ball, and kazan's teeth buried them
selves in the flesh of it's neck instead
of the j~ugular. And kazan was not
now fighting the fangS Of "A wolf In the

fighting claWs-claWs that ripped like
twenty razor-edged knives, and which
even a jugular hold could not stop.
Once he had fought a lynx in IA trap,
and he had not forgotten the lesson thu
battle had taught him. He fought to
pull the lynx down, instead of forcing
it on its back, as he would have done
with another dog or a wolf. He knew
that when on lis back the fierce eat
was most dangerous. one rip of its
powerful hind feet could disembowel
him.
Behind him he heard Gray Wolf sob
bling and crying, and he knew that she
was terribly hurt. He was filled with
the rage and strength of two dogs, and
his teeth met through the flesh and
hide of the cats throat. But the big
lynx escaped death by half an inch. 1t

deadly lunge. There was an i%nstant's
freedom for the lynx, and in that mo
ment it flung itself back, and Kazan
gripped at its throat-on top.

flesh, cutting open his side-a little
too high To kill. Another stroke and
they would have cut to his vitals. But

lynx lay limp and m%otiOnless where it
had fallen. kaZan came nearer, still
prepared, and shifted cautiously. Some
thing told him that the fight was over.
He turned and dragged himself slowly
Along the ledge to the trail, and re-
turned to Gray Wolf.
Gray Wolf was no longer il The

the limp l~ifeless little bodies Of the
three pups. The lynx had torn them
to pieces. With a whine Of grief Ka-

thrust his head between them. Gray
Wolf was there, crying to herself in
that terrible sobbing way. He went
in, and began to lick her bleeding

Desperate efforts are being made to

it no easy matter. We have plenty of
willing hands all over the county

great enthusiasm for knitting we must
not forget that we are needed at the

work down there. especially now that
the work from the branches is pour

"Thoughtless people cry that we
have too much legislation as it is; that
there is no such thing as needed leg
islation,'" H. NJ. Baldwin, country at
torney of Nemaha county, told seven
ty county attorneys of Kansas at the
state house Tuesday night. These cry
out for hastily considered bills or no
legislation at all and speedy ad-
iournment Such directors are OF the
moss back or re-actionary type.
BaIdwin's address was the principal
one before the meeting of the attor-
news which was called by Attorney
General S. NJ. Brewster.
Baldwin took a shot at present
Good Roads legislation.
The ancient Romans had better
laws he declared Kansas aPpoiIts
state and county engineers and then
clothes them with insufficient powers.
There is ample machinery for the pur-
pose of insuring good roads, out the
ordinary county roads continue 10 get
a little worse each year. This is be-
cause the duty, the expense, the re-
sponsibility and discretion OF making
and keeping up good or bad roads is
cast without adequate oversight upon
the local or township authorities.
Cross-State Highways.
Baldwin suggested as a remedy the
cross-state highways He also sug-
sested that the coLrty commissioners
be given sufficien- authority to levy
road taxes on all property without re-
gard to benefit districts"
Baldwin also stated that the board

Wood said he believes more firmly
than ever that the national guard sys-
tenn is vicious and Indispensable
Asked if he considered it his duty
to discourage the system while trying
to recruit for it?" Wood snapped at
Lee:
