E. Dale, at Ashland, while trying to board a west bound Bur lington train. Our account was taken from the State Journal of the follow ing morning and was full of inaccur acies, as early accounts an apt to be. The story of the accident and death of the young man, as given us later is as follows: Young Dale was a stu dent at the Cnrversity School of Nebraska, and liad taken the east bound train to meet his fiancee, who was returning from a trip to Europe, "litre sue n&u oeen sever*i montns for her health. It was her intention to take the west bound train from Omaha, which passed the east bound at Ashland, and iii the natural anxiety of the joung man to see her at the first possible moment, he had gooe to a siiland to meet her. The east bound train was a few moments late arriving at Ashland, hence as It came in the west yards the other train pulled out. passing each other just inside tire yards. Young Dale, who was onh in years of age, robust, strong and athletic, standing some aii feet and over in height, saw the train passing and sprang from his train to catch tlie other. Just how he met his death, will probably never exactly be known but as there was quite a line of freight cars standing on a aide track between the two pas sengers. it is thought in hurridly running around them to catch the west bound, he must have only been able to reach the moving train as the very last cars were passing, and as it was a vestibuled train, in jumping for the steps he must have missed his grip and been struck on the back of his head by the car and thrown for ward on his face, his death being in stantaneous. It was not true, the report that his head and face were crushed and neck broken, as the death blow he received was that on the back of the head, which crushed the skull there, and there were no other masks nor bruises save tha scratches on the face caused by the sanded ground on which he was thrown from the impact of the death blow. The young man's tiancee was not on the train, but her ticket car ried her home over the Rock Island, nor heard of the terrible affair till she reached her home at Denton, where she. as well as her betrothed resided. Death of W. H. Hlcknan An Old Resident of This Vicinity As will be seen bj the following ar ticle, Mr. W. II. Hickman, formerly of this city, and father of Mrs. D. D. Grow, passed away Sunday. March 3. at his home near Orlando. Okl. Mrs. Grow had been at the bedside of her fattier for some time prior to his de mise: Wm. Henry Harrison Hickman was born in Zanesville, Ohio October, 1st, 1834 died March 4th, 1912 being 77 years, 5 months and 4 days of age. Mr. Hickman moved with his parents from Ohio to Iowa in his young man hood and there engaged in school teaching. In the year 1855 he was married to Miss Abigail D. Ross and with his bride began domestic life as a farmer in Jones county, Iowa. In 1883 he and his family came to Dav iess county Missouri locating near Winston. There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hickman nine children three of whom preceeded their parents to tiie Beyond leaving six children to mourn the loss of their devoted par ents' In 1897 Mr. Hickman and wife moved to Loup Citv, Nebraska, where the beloved wife was called from his companionship on Dec. 23, 1905. Since 19ii6 Mr. Hickman has made his home in Oklahoma. After the death of nis wife lie declined rapid!.,' until re lease came on the 4th instant. For two terms Mr. Hickman repre sented Daviess county in the Missouri legislature which position he filled with honor ana integrity. In his youth lie made profession of faith in our Savior and was babtixed and united with a Missionary Baptist cburcti. Although for awhile later in life lie got in doubt, yet in later yean he allowed his appreciation of the Saviour by admonishing his daugh ters to take their children to church and Sunday school and to teach them to follow the example of Jesus, and tie himself took a practical interest in Christian service by teaching in toe Sunday school while he resided in Nebraska. The children mourn the loss of an honorable and loving father and we his friends, bid adieu to a good neighbor and a true friend. Mr. Hickman’s remains were brought here for interment today.

DEATH OF FRANK OTLEWSKI Old Resident Passes Into The Great Beyoad. Last week, we had just time for mention of the death of Mr. Frank Otlewski, an old resident of this county, a few hours before going to press. As given publication at that time. Mr. Otlewski’s death occured at the home in the north part of this city Wednesday evening about 9 o’clock, after several years of failing health and bodily pain and misery. The funeral occurred from St. Fran cis church, Friday morning, following at 10 o'clock with the solemn rites of the Catholic faith, a large audience of friends of deceased, both of the Catholic and Protestant faith being present to do honor to his memory. Mr. Frank Otlewski was born in Germany on April 2, 1850. He came to America and settled at Sayer, Penna., in 1872. when 22 years of age. In 1879, he was united in marriage to Miss Frances Kuysewski, moving to Elmyra, N. Y„ and about oue year later coming to Sherman county Nebraska, and taking up a home stead about two miles up the valley from Loup City, where the family lived till some four years since, when Mr. Otlewski sold the homestead and builded a home in Loup City, where be had since resided. On July 4,1898 death took from the home the wife and mother, leaving four children beside the husband, namely, JohnE., bora at Elmira, N. Y., Mrs. Mary Forsell now of Central City, Mrs. Sophie Sydzik of Loup City, and Mrs. Katie Shachta now of Elba, all bora on the homestead, here to mourn a mother’s loss. On the 6th day of February, 1906, Mr. Otlewski was united in marriage to Mrs. Susie Jolkowski, to whom two children were bora, a boy and a girl, Frank and Gertrude, and who also survive him. Besides the above, deceased leaves a brother-in-law, John Kuy sewsld, and a cousin, A. Bacang. both living in Chicago. Five years ago, Mr. Otlewski was knocked down and trampled upon by a vicious horse, the injuries then re ceived probably being the cause leading to bis failing health and sub sequent death in the prime of life. Mr. Otlewski was at one time an earnest participant in the political activities of Sherman county, being a live republican wire and at one time republican candidate for county treas urer. in the hopeless days of populist supremacy, His death is regretted by a host of friends, Catholic and Protestant, Polish and English alike, and the family have the sincere sym pathy of all in their sad hour of af fliction. He was one of the oldest members of the M. W. A. order here joining in the year 1892. CARO OF THANKS W desire to return our sincere thanks to the many friends, and especially to the M. W. A. order, for their kindness and care extended to our loved husband and father, during his illness and suteequentdeAth, and for the beautiful floral offerings from order and friends which covered the casket of our loved one. Mrs. Susie Otlewski Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Otlewski Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Forsell Mr. and Mrs. A. Sydzick Mr. and Mrs. S. Schachta If A Man Is Wise He WHI Not Work At Home But Elsewhere In an article on “The man of the House” in the March Woman’s Home Companion the author, Margaret E. Stangster, says: “The man of the house should not be in the house all day long, if it can be helped. If he be an artist with a studio at home, a minister with a study at the top of the house, a ohy sician with office hours, or any other man who is accustomed to carry on his work at home, the household ac comodates itself to him and in a sense ignores his presence. It is tru* that he is constantly subject to inter ruptions when he works at home, his wife softly opening the door to say, ‘The milkman has called for his bill, and cannot make change,’ or somebody has asked for you at the door, will you not go down and see him? or Do pardon me for breaking in upon your work, but Aunt Jennie has just tele phoned that she is coming to lun cheon. Won't you step over to the butcher's and get a porterhouse steak? “It is not quite ideal for the man of the house to do his work at home. For his personal convenience and comfort it is preferable that he should do it elsewhere. The temptation to run in upon him, read a letter, tell a bit of news, or ask advice is too great for the average woman to overcome. "Also he gains something in the esti mation of the family by going away in the morning and returning at night while for himself there is the mani fest advantage of a charming and rest ful change of scene when he steps within his front door to be stormed upon with kisses by the children and weloomed by his true comrade and partner on the road.” , W> c0°t'Tl^v’ coVu®n ***££'2a/&"35 “fS»4 ^"To £l*"‘1,l»,i*'1 Cbtt' *>•» 4'7Su^“ *“w« «\odo«8 . rtat) ot w* ^7 sio»sto'®* sssgr-iSss*5 rgESKSsssS; «“5S£S5U*55E-t •o'01 “rci>S?‘'»“,40^T*«'! 8f Ss^SSaSSii srS-ifaS-ss *00*!. v tutoug'1 * ^on »S w w tbe *al \ust<»» ^T. ^ te®eta _ SSrS^JSSS “He was a desperate cuss and rob bed right and left. He went into homes when the men were absent, frightened the women nearly to death and took what ha wanted. Every body was up in arms against him, but he was too slippery for them and managed to keep out of the way for quite awhile. "Finally, on the Fourth of July, he held up. two men and managed to make good. Then the storm broke and the afTair quickly reached a crisis I was away from home at the time, but my deputy was on the Job and started in pursuit. A posse of twelve men started from the neighborhood of Arnold and made a hot chase after him. “The greaser war anally located about six miles north of Broken Bow near Mohat’s place and here he took his stand. He had his wagon and team and an 18 year old boy with him, and the sucker could shoot, let me tell you. He was well heeled as re gards shooting irons and when he found the posse meant business didn’t hesitate to show his teeth. ‘ "But his name was mud, just the same, because the boys were taking no more chances than they had, to and as soon as the opportunity ar rived they commenced pumping lead into him. The show didn’t last long after that. Mr. Greaser got all that was coming to him and in short order and wasdead before he hit the ground The boy was shot in the hip, but managed to make his escape over to Lexington where some doctor cured him and sent him on his way. "When I arrived borne my wife handed me some notes that had been sent in by the deputy, telling me of the situation and I immediately start ed out in a wagon for the scene of ac tion. On the way through town I ran across the editor of the Broken Bow Statysman and forced him to get in the wagon with me. And let me explain right here that there was no love lost between the editor and my self. “He had printed some mighty lurid stuff about me and I didn’t appre ciate it half as much as he did. Well the editor thought I was deliberately running him into an ambush to be shotand the way he whined and begged was very soothing to my nerves. He finally got so noisy that I became dis gusted and when we reached where Stuckey now lives, I let him crawl off and hide himself. “I went on and before long arrived at the scene of the shooting. The final shot had just been fired and all 1 found was a dead Mexican very much out of repair. I loaded the body into the wagon and started back toward toward town. “When I got to the hill up there, I found the editor man waiting for me He eagerly demanded particulars and wanted to know what they had done with the Mexican. I pointed to the body lying in the bottom of the wagon and suggested that the newspaper man might get some information from that source. He gave one look and yelled, 'My God, how shall I ever write this up?’’ “ 'I’ll tell you how to write it up,’ I replied. Tou go to the coroner’s inquest keep your eyes and ears open and report the jury’s verdict just as it is brought in, and without adding any trimmings. That will be about all you can handle in that line.’ "If my memory don’t deceive me, he took my advice seriously and gave a fairly accurate account of the affair About the verdict? Oh, the jury sim ply held that deceased come to his death while isaMIngaa oAoer or something to that effect. That is about all there was to it. “And now, if you will kindly insert the key in that lock and turn it in the opposite direction. I'll stroll out upon the street and inhalesome fresh air.”—Ord Quiz.
