Roanoke"! Va., Jan. 31. Four train men were killed, two injured, 'and a number of passengert badly shaken up in a head-ot collision late Wednes day night near Radford, Va., between the southern railway s Memphis spe cial and a west bound Norfolk & Western freight train, according to information given out here Wednes day night at the Norfolk & Western division offices. V, . First reports of the cause of the l wreck were that the freight engineer L-TrTr ilii By FRED S. HUNTEIR Don't Count Your Chicks. THE public prints give us the infor niation' that Fred Fulton has signed articles to meet Jess Willard at Denver next summer. Interesting, no doubt, but we cannot refrain from calling attention to the fact that Mr. Willard has not yet signed th arti cles and it usually takes the signatures of two persons to make an agreement. Without emitting any howling ex foliations of Frederico, something seems to tell us that James M. 11am mil. who seeks to promote the match should not be hasty about getting his tickets printed. Ring the Gas Alarm. $ LAST week Gene Melady, who ap parently doesn't understand the fantasies of temperment in which pugilists delight to indulge, tried to importune . Fred Fulton and Billy Miske into doing it again, this time for 20 rounds to a decision at Denver. Gene got in touch with Pearl Smith, Miske s manager, over long distance telephone. Pearl informed Gene that William was just crazy to battle the elongated Frederick, providing Wil liam got $7,500 with the privilege of 35 per cent. Gene recovered con sciousness two hours later, but is still wondering why Pearl didn't ask for the roadhouse privileges of Douglas countv and the toll concession on two locks of the Panama canal. One Game Guy. A L TEARNEY, who is a glutton for punishment, says that if he can find eight men who are as fond of the national pastime as he is he will oe glad to join in with them and accept his share of the reverses just as heerfully as if they were on a sound financial basis. As chief angel for the rUfiinrt Three-I loop for six years, tearney probably blew not less than $100,000 in. base ball. And yet when Tearney tnes to make a suggestion or two at a national association meeting and the wolves from the - major leagues roar a protest, his colleagues promptly scurry for cover and leave Tearney to hold the sack. Gratitude? You'll find it in the dictionary.' A Point of Order. y QPEAKING of the well known war Y tax and its applications to the na tional pastime, we would inquire: What about the small boy who is given a pass when he retrieves a J)all that goes over the fence? The gov ernment says the patron shall pay the tax. Does that put it up to the small boy to come across with the stiver? We pause for reply.

NO explanation is offered for the failure of the Western, Three-I and Central magnates to appear at the Peoria meeting, but it is presumed Al Tearney refused to come across with the carfare, and 'as you may or may not know, the hoofing in these days of snow blockades is bum.

According to Gess statement, he was wintering the sheep lOOmiles south of Nampa, in Malheur county. near tne Awyhue river, tie declares that his foreman, F. E. Pratt; Ora Cole of Boise, Idaho, and C.

Bown and Pratt have been arrested: Cole ' worked under the name of G. W. Allen, a widely-known ranch man yof V.'Ir.nemucca. He was traced through the bank by Clay, Robinson & Co. and the fact that he used this name came very near selling the sheep, according to Gess.

Gess came to Omaha in an effcrtj to. locate 600 of the sheeo. I The rest of the flock has been located in the hands of Clay, Robinson, & Co.

Cold Weather Makes Women Seek Shelter For several weeks women have been operating the elevators in the Railway Exchange building, but the intense cold has driven them to cover and men are on the job. The weather this morning was too cold for the women to venture out. A family feud over property which began in the Omaha division of the w ft a nsi icaerai court nearly m years ago, was resumed Thursday wheja Joseph, Annie, Lucy and Edwin Gross and Isabelle Gcldet filed suit agjinst Mor ris ana Dome ODoss asking tor a two-thirds interest in "property worth $45,000. The quarrel started m lc?99, when suit was filed by the parmts of the present Dlaintiffs. The Didntiffs at tHat time were Lucy Groses, mother of the last two named plaintiffs in the present suit; Herman. Gross, now deceased husband of Lucy Gross of the present suit,, and Joseph Gross, one of the plaintiffs in the present suit. The litigation of 1899 was fought through the federal courts until 1903. Morris and Libbie Gross were de fendants in that action as they are in this one. The trouble dates back to 1887. when Lucy, Annie and Libbie Gross, filed articles of incorporation of the Badger Cattle company in Madison counry, Nebraska. The company had a capital of $21,800. Among its assets was a 160-acre farm. During the "hard times" it seems. Libbie and Morris Gross stuck to the farm.
