Grover Dean, a laborer in the employ of Clyde Lake of this city, was killed yesterday afternoon by a fall from a sand wagon, while hauling sand to the Frank Martin home in the Fourth ward. The accident happened about two-thirty o'clock and lie lived only about thirty minutes. Mr. Dean had been in the employ of Clyde Lake for several weeks. He was subject to fainting spells and for this reason Mr. Lake had cautioned him to be careful. It is thought that he was attacked with one of these spells which caused him to fall. The accident happened in front of the residence of R. M. Lamb and Mrs. Lamb was the only eye witness. Mrs. Lamb noticed the man driving past and had Just remarked what a large load of sand he had. She was watching him and stated to a reporter yesterday afternoon that he had ap peared to stoop over to look at the harness on his off horse. He then stooped over and apparently looked at the horse on the other side when he seemed to lose his balance and pitch head foremost down between the horses. The wagon passed over his body. Mr. Lamb ran to the Westen feld grocery and turned in an alarm and men ran up and got the doctors who picked the man up and took him to the hospital where he died in about thirty minutes without regaining con sciousness. His neck was broken and he had sustained other injuries, prob ably internal, and some bruises. The body was taken from the hos pital to the morgue at the Howe & Maloney undertaking parlors and an attempt is being made to And the man's relatives. No arrangements for the disposal of the body have as yet been made. Mr. Dean had lived in this city for only a short time. He was a man of about thirty-eight years of age. He came hero from southern Kansas and moved into a house on south Walnut street, where he has a wife and five children. They are in almost desti tute circumstances. He has no other relatives here. "Mr. Lake had been keeping him in his employ for the -reason that the man needed work. He was a good worker, and while Mr. Lake was concerned about him pn account of the fainting spells, he did not feel like discharging him for that reason as he did his work well. A wire was sent yesterday afternoon to Benton Harbor, Mich., where it was reported he has relatives. MARSHALL OIL COMPANY TO PUT STATION HERE The Marshall Oil company of Lin coln, an Independent company in com petition with the Standard Oil com pany, will open up a station hero in a short time according to a statement made by Mr. Gregory, a representative of theirs, who visited here Saturday.

Mr. Gregory visited here last week and closed negotiations for the ground upon which the station will be lo cated. They will be located on east Front sVreet near thy new power plant and two large tanks will be put in.

Tho fall of Antwerp Is ovidenco that even tho most powerful forts aro no match for tho colossal howitzers, which tho invaders have sucossfully em ployed against every fortified placo that stood In tholr way. These huge guns open gups, through which tho bo slegors find nn entrnnco for their flold artillery and Infantry. With tho fall of Antwerp It has be como known through official British announcement by tho British admiral ty that a British foico consisting of three naval brigades of about 8,000 men with heavy guns fought beside tho Belgians In defenso of their great fort ress. With tho Belgian army when It marched out of Antwerp went tho British, but during tho retreat ono of tho British brigades was forced to find rofugo In Hollnnd, whero It Is now Interned. Tho other two brigades reached Ostend. Tho British losses at Antwerp are reported to bo 300. On tho Enst Prussian frontier tho battlo between tho German and Rus sian forces continues with unabated obstlunncy. According to Russtnn of ficial reports tho Gorman troops aro retiring from tho region of Lyck and aro blowing up bridges. Tho Russian troops aro undertaking strong oltcnslvo movemonts in Poland and aro massing along tho lino from Lublin to Warsaw and also from Lub lin to Leinberg.
