BANKRUPTCY NOTICE Find Engineer Dead at Throttle of Fast Train Prompt Action of Fireman Averts a Collision on the Milwaukee Road in Missouri. Kansas City Passenger train No. 3 of the Milwaukee railroad thun dered southward toward Excelsior Springs late on Saturday with a dead engineer at the throttle and only the quick action of the locomotive's fire man in stopping the train averted a rear end collission with a freight train. The incident became known Sunday when the family of the dead engineer, George F. Robinson, sixty eight, expressed the wish to give the fireman, E. E. Milburn, credit for saving Mr. Robinson's perfect forty nine year record with the railroad from being marred. The train, from Ottumwa, la., was due at Excelsior Springs at 4:51 o'clock. A freight train running ahead of the passenger, was sched uled to take the siding to clear the main line for the faster train. Eight miles east of Excelsior Springs, Mil burn was surprised to see the train rounding a curve ahead and not yet completely on a side track. When the passenger train did not slacken, Milburn shouted across the pab, and then was startled to see Robinson slumped in his seat. Mil burn leaped across the cab, closed the throttle and applied the air brakes. The train slowed down sufficiently to allow the freight to get into clear on the siding. Milburn then ran the train into the Excelsion Springs yards where another engineer entered the cab, and the run to Kansas City contin ued. The passengers left the train at the Union station here without knowing what had occurred. Mr. Robinson died of heart dis ease. Dr. TV. L. Wysong. Clay count' coroner, decided State Journal.

A stockhold er's attempt to regain illegal taxes paid the Lincoln school district by a corporation met defeat in district court here Monday. If the decision is sustained, the school district will be allowed to retain more than $25,000 collected under the unconstitutional intang ible tax law of 1925. Judge Shepherd basde his deci sion on the contention that stock holders in corporations cannot take what is profitable from such a re lationship and reject the unprofitable. When the corporation paid the taxes without knowledge of the stockholders, it failed to protest or demand return of the taxes within 30 days as required by law. Verna Crider. one of the stockholders, filed the suit.
