While on Duty in the Union Pacific Yards George Straley, Fore-1
man of the Switch Crew,
The sad and unexpected Intelli
gence was received this morning
through a telegram of a son of Ben
Brooks, now In Omaha, of the death
at that point of George Straley, form-
trly of this city. Mr. Straley waa a
tirother-ln-law of George and Ben I
Orooks of this city, having married
Visa Florence Brooks here some years
So. At one time he worked in this
titj, being employed by W. D. Jones
ad other liverymen in their barns
"fcere and later embracing switching
4k the Burlington yards here under
W. D. Messersmlth. He commenced
Work here during the '90's. For a
bumber of years past he has been
employed In Omaha working for the
Colon Paclfls railroad.
It was while in discharge of his
Hutles as foreman of a switching crew
tor the Union Pacific that the unfor
tunate man met his death. He was
Wiled laHt night at 8:05 o'clock in
the Union Pacific yards in Omaha at
Varcy street between Fourteenth and
tfTteenth streets. He was caught be
tween the rear wall of the Omaha
Faper box factory and a loaded coal
car which was derailed at that point.
Straley was In charged of the switch

A Fine Time.
The members of the M. W. A. last
evening bad a great big time at their

ttJ3cers for the coming year. They
bad a fine spread including about
everything to be had In the eatable
line and the many members certainly
aet them down to a vertlable feast.
ATter the banquet a smoker followed
which was hugely enjoyed by all. As
Bpeclal feature of a fine evening's
entertainment, the Woodman band
was on hand and gave a number of
fine selections. The band also played
several airs before the meeting as
sembled and, despite the bad weather,
a number of people gathered on the
streot to liHten to their mudlc and
reward them with generous nppluuse.
In the hall there was from seventy

track was covered with sleet and ice
from the rain and this Is thought to
have been the cause of the big coal I
car suddenly leaving the rails and I
pinioning the unfortunate man be-
tween it and the wall. As he was I
caught between the car and the wall
and life crushed out, be gave one
long, agonizing scream which was
heard by the engine men and the
men of the switch crew who brought
the train to a stop but too late to
him. So tightly was the man,
save

that It was several hours before his
body could be removed. When this
was attempted, It was necessary to:Slvei J"n 9. 1906.)
get two powerful locomotives before
the car could be moved and his body
secured. The body was taken charge
of by Coroner Crosby of Douglass
county and an Inquest will be held
tomorrow (Friday) morning at 10
o'clock to fix the responsibility for
the disaster. The engineer of the
switcher was named Frank Trueman
and the fireman Emery A. Jones.
Straley was a man in the neigh
borhood of 48 years old and is sur
vived by a wife and five children. His
brothers-in-law George and Ben
Brooks expect to go to Omaha this
afternoon to be present at the Inquest
and arragne for the funeral. It is un
derstood that Mr. Straley carried
some life insurance but this Is not
certain.

FOR 1 SLQGAH
This Should Interest Many Mem
bers of the High School.
Some additional details are given
out this morning in regard to the
slogan which the commercial club
Is offering a prize of ten dollars for.
This Is necessitated by the numerous

words are plenty and the shorter it is
the better.
The competition Is open to every
body, men, women and children and
an especial Invitation is extended to
high school pupils to enter the com
petition. There Is no limit to the number
of suggestions. Send in every idea
you have. Don't stand back because
It seems out of the ordinary or be
cause it la common place. It may be
worth $10 to you.
The slogan must appeal to outside
people as well as people who live
here. What Is wanted is something
which will make everybody think of
Plattsmouth and draw attention to
the city.
Remember that three crisp words
with plenty of meaning to them ,wlll
cover the ground and that the com
mittee will pay $3,33-1-3 for each of
these three words.
Everyone Is asked to submit his
or her idea on what will make a suc
cinct and catchy phrase for the
booster button. You can win just
as easily as the next one. Try it any
way and do the best you can.
