ROCK ISLAND TRAIN.
From Friday' Dally.
Yesterday afternoon at 3:15 John
Murtey. prominent grain and lumber
dealer of Alvo was struck by west
bound Rock Island train No. 1 at
the crossing near the elevator in Al
vo and instantly killed.
The unfortunate man who has
been in failing health for some time
had left his home about 3 o'clock
and it is stated, walked down to his
office at the lumber yard, but not en
tering the office, turnd around and
walked back a short distance to the
Rock Island crossing where he turn-
ed and walked southwest a short dis
tance down the tracks, and at this
time the westbound flyer, No. 5,
came into sight traveling at its us
ual high rate of speed as the train
does not stop at Alvo. The engineer
of the train states that he sounded
the whistle as the train swept into
Uhe vicinity of the crossing and see
ing Mr. Murtey on the track the en
gineer blew the signal but the un
fortunate! man did not hear or heed
the- wanting . ar-d "before, the train
could be stopped it had struck and
hurled him from the tracks, killing
him instantly.
No one in Alvo was aware of the
accident until the train was stopped

was an authority on the corn and
wheat situation over the state as the
ness an( hard work to bring SUCCeSS
an(J jn hig ,.f, he madg thjs a rule
of action and a great deal of his suc
cess was due to this firm belief in
his theory. He spent a portion of the
winters in California each year but
never lost touch with conditions in
his home state and was much sought
after by his associates as an advisor
t.n their business deaiinfrs.
John Murtey was sixty years of
age and during his lifetime was a
devoted follower of the teachings of
the democratic party as the one that
appealed greatest to the rank and
file of the people. He has resided in
Nebraska since 1S71 with the ex
ception of ten years, when he resided
in Kansas. He has been engaged in
the lumber, grain and coal business
since 18S7 and had offices in Alvo,
Murdock, South Bend and Manley.
To mourn his death there remains
the wife and three brothers, Thom
as Murtey of Weeping Water, and
Henry and James Murtey of Stock
ton, Kansas, as well es one sister,
Mrs. Mary J. Fry of Clay Center,
Nebraska.
County Attorney A. G. Cole was
notified of the accident but as there
was no question as to the cause of
the death the county attorney de
cided to save the county the expense
of an inquest ard none will be had.
This is the second tragedy to mark
the crossing at Alvo as eight years
ago an auto of James Foreman was
struck on the crossing by this same
train and the two daughters of Mr.
J Foreman and a Miss Godbey were
killed

The only contest that has devel

office of representative, as Louis

candidates will now await the de

The progressive candidates were
placed in the field by petitions from

SIONER FRED H,

Petition Filed Asks that Present
Commissioner from Third Dis

Another of the occupants of the
county offices who is being urged to
make the race for another term is
County Commissioner Fred H. Gor
der of Weeping Water, and a peti
tion to that effect has been received
at the office of County Clerk George
R. Sayles. Mr. Gorder was elected
in 1920 to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Commissioner
Henry Miller, and has proven one of
the best men that has sit on the
board regardless of any political af
filiation and his long business exper
ience as well as his terms in office
as Mayor of Weeping Water has fit
ted him in every way to help con
duct the affairs of the county in the
most businesslike manner.
Mr. Gorder is a democrat in poli
tics but his repeated election as may

can sections of the coutny is proof of
his strength and ability that is rec
ognized by everyone. He has not as
yet made his acceptance of the fil
ing but his friends are hopeful that
he will consent to make the race at
the primary and at the fall election.
