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.
They will begin work in the near fu
ture on the tanks for tho distribution
of the oil.
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. This will bring probably two more
families to this city, one to handle tho
work at the station and one for the
wagon. It will take some time for tl
construction of the tanks, but they ex
pect to be doing business this winter.
This company is entirely indepen
dent of tho Standard company and they
have a string of stations all over Min
nesota, Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
They are continuing to extend their
chain of stations and are a growing
concern.

badly lacerate'd wound over his right
temple and his right arm broken and
badly bruised. Ho had evidently been
lying thero for several minutes.
He was picked up and taken to the

one of tho rolls where ho had been
wiping. He was bleeding profusely
and had already bled a large amount.
He was lying near some pulleys that
run at the rato of about three hundred
revolutions per minute.
From all appearances he had been
wiping up the rolls and his arm was
caught in one of the bolts, throwing
him against tho machinery which In
flicted the wound on his head. He had
wiped up the roll near where he was
lying and his waste was found on tho
opposite side of tho roll. He had been
down in tho engine room only about

with the engineer, W. E. Carlson.

WAR SUMMARY
Antwerp and tho forts surrounding
tho city aro now In comploto posses
sion of tho Germans, but tho greiitpr
part of tho Bolglan army has escaped.
It took tho GormnnB just cloven
days to capture tho strongest fortress
In tho world.
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.
