RILLED UNDER LOCOMOTIVE Albirt Rachwhz, Switch Foremin, Ornshid to Drkth. ENGINE SUDDENLY LEAVES RAILS . Apparent Itrnsnn for this AVrfi.'k on IIII1111I Central Triilniui'ii i:cnic hy J 11 in pi 11 K Albert Itachwlti!, foreman of nn Illinois Central railway switching crew, was killed Instantly yesterday afternoon by being crushed beneath tho front wheels of n switch engine, which Jumped tho track on Klghtccnth street, between Broadway and First avenue, and turned partly ovor down tho grade. Itachwltz was riding on tho footboard of the ongtuo nnd attempted to Jump when It commenced to topplo down the grade. It ts thought that his foot caught In some manner, throwing htm un der tho front wheels. A portion of tho embankment had to bo dug away around tho cnglno before the unfortuuato man's body could be extricated from under tho wheels. Death was evidently lnstantn uooiis, ns, besides several ugly wounds In tho head and other parts of tho body, Ills neck was found to bo broken. rtachwltz was In charge of a train of onto brought from Omaha by switch cn glno No, 1 of the Omaha Ilrldgo & Ter minal Ilntlwny company, and had Just cut out four cars which wcro to bo transferred to other roads hero when tho accident occurrol which cost him his life. After cutting out all but the four cars on tho switch track Just north of Broadway tho train proceeded south on Eighteenth street nnd had passed the switch, when tho en gine left the rails nnd bumped along this tics for about two cars' length before the embankment gave way beneath tho weight of tho locomotive, causing t to topple over on Its right side. The grade nt this point Is about four to flvo feet. Muffineer nntl Fureiunn J 11 111 p. Engineer George McNeil and his fireman, Etigcuo K. Carroll, Jumped as soon ns tho cnglno left tho tracks, believing that It would bo hound to go Into the ditch. They escaped without Injury, rtachwltz and W. J. Scott, a flwltchmnn, were standing on tho footboard and both started to Jump tho moment tho cnglno commenced to turn over tho embankment. Scott managed to Jump clear of tho locomotive and escnpen with n few bruises and scratches. How Ilachwttz, who was standing on the wesi sldo of tho footboard, managed to get caught under tho wheels on tho other side of the engine Is not clear, but it is sup posed that ho must have got twisted round by his foot being caught. Tho heel of his shoo was torn off and this sustnlns the theory Hint hta foot caught somehow In tho footboard. Itachwltz's watch, when taken from his pocket, was shown to have stopped at 3:37, A crowd was soon nttractcd to tho scene and willing hands nt onco commenced to dig tho unfortunate's man body from be neath tho wheels. Coroner Treynor -was summoned, ns was Dr. T, B. Lacoy, tho railway company's physician. Tho latter's services, however, wcro not needed, as Itachwltz's death was instantaneous. Cor oner Tieynor ordered the body removed to Cutler's undertaking rooms, where It Is understood an Inquest will be held Monday morning. Itachwltz was n married man nnd lived nt 230-1 South Thirteenth street. Ho leaves n wlfo and four young children. lteuanii la Unknown. Nono of tho trainmen were ablo to ex plain the reason for tho englno leaving the rails. Tho train of four cars, which had Just passed the switch, about twenty yards south of Broadway, was not running at a greater speed than flvo miles, they say, as Just south of tho switch from there Is a curve Tho spot whero Itachwltz was killed Is exactly midway between Broad way and First avenue.

FERRET CASE SUBMITTED ArgunnnU In Eupreme Court to Teit Validity of Tax Law. DECISION REACHED IN INSURANCE CASE T'nelve Win Mllltnry i:ninlnntlons -Major CotiKcr'a Return Home Man Sues for Drench fif Promise nnd Gallia Dnnuiges. (From n Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May IS. (Special.) The first of tho famous tux ferret cases to gat Into the hands of the supreme court reached that body today In the submission of tho case of Henry Galusha, treasurer, ngnlns' Mathlldo Wcndt, administratrix, appellant, from Jasper county. After the death of tho husband of the plaintiff, who was n merchant and banker of Newton, upon tho filing of u final report of the administratrix It was disclosed that n lrgfi amount of moneys and credits had been concealed from tho assessors, and a firm of tax Investigators, with whom n contract had been made by the county, had tho county treasurer assess this per sonalty and the county brought suit to recover from the estate J3.000, claimed as tax on property belonglug to the estate. Tho attorncs for the Palo Alto tax ferret cases, which were appealed only a few days ago, also Join lu tho nrguments, ns this case from Jasper county Is regarded as a test of the entire tax ferret law. The law has been passed on by nt least half a dozen Judges of tho state, nil but ono or two upholding tho law. The main attack on tho law In tho ense submitted today to tho supreme court lo on the ground that it Is retroactlvo In effect; that It violates tho obligation of contracts; that tho action of the board of equalization from year to year Is nn adjudication of all tax matters to that date and that a law cannot be made which will authurlzo n county to go back several years and make assessments nnd collect taxes. The attorneys upholding the law set up that the act was remedial in its na ture and that persons who havo fraudu lently concealed tht-lr property from the nsscesors cannot have that fraud con firmed by anything the assessors and boards ma) do. liiMiirmiee Problem V iirnveleil.

The Woodmen placed tho money In tho hands of the court nnd Its disposition wns to bo determined. The district court gavo It all to tho widow, on tho ground that the chango In the policy had In fact been made ns far ns U was possible for tho insured to make It. The supremo court decides that n certlftcato of lnsurnnco is not for tho Insured alone, but for all parties con cerned, nnd ns tho rules of making n change had not been followed the sister Is entitled to a share of tho policy.
