An incident not on the published
program was a short speech by Con
gressman Kinkatd, from tne oaicony
of the hotel. Notwithstanding that
usually a crowd on such ocacsions do
not want speech making, the speaker
was given close attention and round'
' It aDlauded at the close of his talk
On account of not having nature's
covering for the top of bis bead, Mr.
Kinkaid wore a skull cap while mak
ing his address and began by making
wme remarks regarding the same.
He said that when the time arrives
that the human race becomes hair
less, the baldheaded man will be the
real progressive, on account of being
first in the new order. He closed his
talk by inviting his hearers to call
on him for his services whenever he
can be of any assistance to them in
bis capacity as congressman.

StO-Year-Old Vouiig Man K liientljr
KHI off of Brake Rod on
Fant Moving Freight
(H(IIUIH) NEAR LAKESIDE
Fred Lee, a 20-year-old lad, was
mangled almost beyond recognition
Monday afternoon when bis body was
run over by a Burlington freight
train three miles this Bide Of Lake
side, near Antioch. Lee was steal
ing a ride, and the supposition Is that
he lost his hold on the brake rods,
fell on the track, and was run over
before he could move. Parts of his
body were strewn for several bund
red feet along the right of way. '
A traveling man saw and talked
to Lee shortly be'ore the accident
happened. , Later the drummer saw
him get, under a car and take a posi
tion on the. rods. That was the last
tbe man thought about the matter
until he heard that Lee was killed.
The body was discovered by the crew
of a freight train that preceded No.
44 a short time.
The coroner at Rushville was Im
mediately notified and arrived a
Bhort time afterward. The inquest
resulted In a verdict that the young
man "came to his death by being run
over by a Burlington train". Under
taker Darling was notified, and let
ters found on the dead man showed
that his father lives at Springfield,
Mo., and that be was In the Insurance
business. Tbe father was notified
Immediately and he returned a mes
sage asking. that the remains be sent
to Springfield. The body was pre
pared for shipment at Lakeside and
was sent from there.
Lee was a printer and was In Alli
ance Saturday. He said be tried to
get work here, and falling in that be
appealed to Police Matron Sharp for
assistance, saying that he was with
out money, and had not eaten for
some time. Mrs. Sharp gave him a
good meal, and in the evening he
went to the police station where he
was given Bodging for the night. He
was fairly well dressed, and did not
appear to be a professional tramp.

AUTO INTO BUGGY
Machine Driven by a Mr. Clark Ran
into Buggy Occupied by Sirs.
L. M. Beal
Wednesday afternoon a Maxwell
auto belonging to Leo Frohnapfel,
driven by a Mr. Clark and occupied
by both men, ran Into a buggy occu
pied by Mrs. L. M. Beal, while driv
ing along Box Butte in front of Bren
nan's drug store. No one was hurt,
but the left front wheel of the buggy
was nearly demolished. v
Eye witnesses to the incident say
it was rather peculiar. I. L. Ache
son was standing near, and said the
horse driven by Mrs. Beal seemed to
possess a notion that he wanted to
see how close he could come to the
machine without running into It. The
automobile was also possessed with
the same idea, evidently, and the
crash resulted. The accident -occurred
right in the middle of the street
about 4 o'clock, and in a few minutes.
a large crowd had gathered and un
hitched the horse and tlrev the bug
gy to one Bide of the street. Clark
stopped the auto at once afld remain
ed until the crowd dispersed.
