Fred Kacle's Injuries Serious".
A Pomona, Cal., paper received nt
this office gives particulars of tho ac
cident which befell our former resident
Fred Kade on Thursday evening of last
week. He was on his way home and
stepped off tho sidewalk closo to an
automobile standing by the curb and
ptartcd to walk across tho streot Ho
had taken but one step behind the
automobile when ho wan struck by
another car which was running about
olght miles an hour. He was knocked
down and shoved nlong the pavement
for about ten feet and when rescued
his body was supporting the front part
of tho car. Ha was carried into a store,
physicians summoned and later taken to
his home. His injuries consisted of a
broken collar bone, three broken ribs,
a sprained ankle, a bad gash on the
right side of his head and a badly
bruised hip. It was thought for a timo
that one ot the broken ribs Had
punctured the right lung, but later this
was found not to be true.
A foot note on the paper written, by
J. M. Beatty and dated Monday 9nya
"Mr. Kade felt pretty good yesterday
add rested fairly well last night."
The unfortunate accident is much.te
gretted by Mr. Kade's friends in North

John Weinberger FatallytStabbed. ,
A Cheyenne dispatch to tho Denver
Post, dated yosterday says:
Neil Rowoll, assistant superintendent
for tho Cheyenne Car company, wits
arrosted this morning, charged with
stabbing John Weinberger, the Union
Pacific fireman, whose home is North
Platte and who was attacked on
Cary avenue last night, and who is at
a local hospital suffering from a danger
ous knife wound under the heart.
Rowoll admits he had trouble with
Weinberger, but says the fireman
attacked him as he was walking with
Miss Luella Smith, a waitress, with
whom both men were infatuated. Ho
denies using a knife on Weinberger.
Miss Smith, who came from Grand
Island, says bIio has known Weinberger
for soma time, that he is insanely jeal
ous of her and insists upon . paying her
attentions. She was walking along
Cary avenue with Rowell when np
approached by Weinberger, who,
without warning, struck Rowell in the
eye and was following up the attack
when Rowell, who is a powerful man,
fought tho fireman off.
She didn't aee Rowell use a knife.
Rowell was released from custody
when the police learned the facts.
Weinberger refused to make a com
plaint against his rival.
As we go to press we understand a
telegram has been received stating
that John Weinberger died last night.
