Cowboy Quickly Settled Matter IN

For some time after the opening tt

The sleeping cars were comfortable
but there were no dining cars, and the
facilities at the restaurant stations

and single planks on smaller horses
for benches at the sides. But the food
was excellent, varied, bountiful, and
admirably cooked, while the fapjacks
and maple syrup were delicious.
The one group that had not left the
sleeper consisted of Colonel Temple
ton, his young wife, and their six.
mOnths'old baby. When all who in
tended to take breakfast were seated
and had served themselves or been
served, the colonel reached over and
took a milk jug, from which he filled
the baby's mug and prOffered to the
proprietor dollar, the price Of full
meal.
The proprietor refused the money
and with needless emphasis said
You ken eat all you want, but yer
can't take nothing away!" "But I've
eaten nothing and am taking only a
cup of milk for my baby"
While the proprietor was emphasiz-

needs, there was a commotion on the

presently a typical cowboy swung him.

KILLED IN AUTO
1919.
With 1000, 900 More Cars In
Country This Year, Death

Chicago Tribune-om Re. Leased w,r,

Chicago Tribune-Oma Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 5.-Last year this
|country had 100000 automobiles
and 10000 deaths IRON automobile
accidents. This year there will be
100000 automobiles and the death
fist will doubtless be corresponding
~ higher.
In Chicago 420 persons were killed
during 1919 by automobile accidents.
In Cleveland the list was 1856, in St.
Louis, 81: in New York, 677. In
New York 19l children under Is
years OF age were run down and
killed. In. Rochester, N. Y, more
deaths were caused by automobiles
than by street cars, railroads and in
dustrial. accidents combined.
Briefly it is apparent that the auto
mobile has become the most dead
ly machine in the United States.
Census mortality reports show that
one-half the numbet' of deaths are
caused by automobiles, as against
the other half charged against indus
trial accidents Of all sorts. =
Even more alarming than these
statistics is the fact that in almost
every case comparison, year by
year, Of the number of automobiles
in use and the number of automobile
deaths, indicates that the deaths are
increasing in almost exact mathematI
les ratio with the increase in the
number of automobiles. With this
rule as guide, it is altogether like
ly that more than 10000 persons will
be killed by automobiles this year.
