Mrs. Flora Gregori, seventy-seven
years old, met her death last Saturday
near her home at New Castle when
she was hit by D. &. R. G. W. rail
way engine while attempting to drive
cow Oft the track.
Mrs. Gregori had been grazing the
cattle on the right of way west Of
New Castle, and seeing that one Of
the COWS was on the track when the
engine approached, it is thought she
endeavored to drive the animal off
and became panic stricken and could
not get out of the way. The engine
struck and hurled her to the side of
the track, crushing her head badly
and fracturing both arms.
The funeral was held Monday after.

SO that when the wrecking crew ar

three of them were loaded with pea

GLENWOOD WATER
SYSTEM FINISHED

The municipal water system tunnel
has been completed SO far as the con.
tract is concerned, but the city has
employed George Farmer to add a few
finishing touches, and the city's water
supply will soon bs turned through
the big tunnel, the driving of which
has been the source of a great deal
of trouble and disappointment to the
city authorities.
At special meetingg of the city
council last Monday evening the work
men heretofore employed on the tun-
mel made claims for their money on
the September estimate, but City At
torney Darrow advised against taking
any action by way Of paying but
money for the work, at least until ~
regular monthly session of the council
next Monday evening.
Since the failure of the contractors,
White & Johnson, to carry out their
agreement with the city, the work has
been done under the supervision of
Engineer Tom Allen. and the city has
paid the monthly estimates, Oh the
theory that an emergency existed and
always under protest and reserving
the right to recover from White &
johnson any excess over and above
what their contract called for.
1nasmuch as the work has now been
completed, the question has been
raised as to whether it may be said
that an emergency exists at this time,
and Mr.. Darrow asked for further time
in which to look the matter up and
render an opinion, and this request
was granted.
AS soon as the action, or lack Of
action by the council, became known
to the unpaid laborers they appealed
the matter to the State Industrial
commission, and asked that a repre-
sentative be sent here to handle the
matter, but no response has been
made by the commission, and it is
probable that nothing further will be
done before next Monday night, when
there may be some fireworks.
