Thursday , February 4 , 1904.
Gov. 'Vi11iam A. Taft toole the
oath of office , Monday as Sccre-
tary of War , successor to Secn-
tary Hoot , resigned.
The democratic press of the
tate is quite unanimously in
favor of R. L. Metcalf , editor of I
the World-Herald for delegate to '
the democratic national convention - I
tion instead of Congressman
Hi tchcock.
It is asserted that fifty per cent
of the democrats in Minnesota
believe in Hooscvelt. That ratio
will doubtless hold good the
country over , but the party lash
will doubtless pre vent fifty per
cent of them from vet ing for
him , but they cannot control aIt
of them.
Senator Dietrich introduced a
resolution in the Senate Monday ,
asking for an investigation of
the charges against him in the
Hastings post onice dcal. 'l'he
resolution was adopted and a
committee of five , consisting of
Senators Hoar , Platte , Spooner ,
Cockrelt and Pettus were appointed -
pointed as committee to investi-
gate.
The I upunLIcAN publishes
this week the verdict and immary
of the edence before the coroners -
ners jury of the railroad wreck
that occured in this city on the
28th. The coroner and jury are
certainly entitled to much credit
for the time they spent and
efforts put forth in trying to determine -
termine to whom the blame for
the wreck should attach. 'rhc
jury was impannelled on the
afternoon of the date of the
wreck and did not reach a verdict
until 'ruesday. The \'er < 1ict may
not be as aIt expected , but when I
we take into consideration the
ability and honesty of the members -
bers of the jury , there is but one
- conclusion and that is the verdict
is warranted by the facts. The
summary of the evidence which
we publish in connection with
the verdict would indicate that
while the jury would not havc
been justified' in finding the col.
liiion was "icllonious , " the fact
remains and may be read cleart )
between lines , both in the sum.
mary as well as in the statemenl
of Messrs. Jewett and Kay , th a1
while no one can legaIty be helt
responsible , that the manage' '
ment of the road is 'not morrallj
guiltless in this matter. Th4
officer of the road , who is re
sponsible for over loading No

Then the one whose duty it wa
to notify the crew of 46 that 41
had been six hours tryingt 0 makl

Broken Bow is not without blamc
The management that presists il
working its men from 15 to 41
hours without sleep may expec
to payout more for the destru (
tion of life and property by ovc
loading and overworking the ]
men than they save and if the
presiat in that practice after t11
numerous collisions in the pa
year it is time that the publi
should take the matter in han
and see that those who are respol
sible for this practice are hel
amendable to the law.

' state convention. He sug-
I tcsts that as a rulc thc dcleg-a.tcs
attcnd the state com'cutlOlI
attetul the congressioual con\'cn-
tion and that it would he a sav-
iug of time and l'xpeuse to make
one trip serve for both. As a
matter of fact Custer county usu-
I a11y send a different set of ele-
g-ates to each of the conventIOns.
But should there be enough candidate -
didate ! ; this ) 'car to require a
different set for each of the conventions -
ventions , it is doubtless true that
they could go to I-4ilicoln as
cheap as to any p.oint in the
district. the conventIOn would be
likely to be located , unless it was
held in Broleen Bow. In a11
probabilitv there will be no con-
test. It is generally conceeded
that Congressman Kinkaid will
be renominated by acclamation
and the the convention mar be
hcld where it is most convcnie'nt
without prejudicing anyone's
interest. But we would not
fa\'or hoMing the convention out
of the district , if by so doing it
is lia ble to establish a precedent
for convcntions in the future.
The district is entitled to what-
'eer enthusiasm or Impetus the
assembling of a convention may
give , and as a rule should not be
held outside of the district.

Eaton , Jno. Akers and S. C. 'Vit-
tenberger came to their death in
a rear end railroad collision 3,030
teet west of the clepot at Brol < en
Bow. in said county , at 5:40 : a.
m. , January 28 , 1904 , and that
the ldlling of the said Keller ,
Eaton. Akers and \ \ ittenbergcr
was accidental and of such a nature -
ture as not to warrant a finding
that the same was crimnal in its
nature or felonious. A history
of the actident and direct causes
that lead to it are as follows :
" 'rrain 46 left Anselmo 15
minutes late and was 2 minutes I
I ahead of time at Merna , a distance -
tance of 11 miles , where it slowed
I down by conductor's signal and
left Merna on time at 5:28. : It if ;
. 80 miles from Merna to Broken
I Bow. 46's running schedule
when 011 time is less than 20
- miles an hour. 12 minutes after
4 ( , left ! \lerna the collision occur-
red. 46 was running between 42
and 43 miles an hour at the time
of the collision. No evidence i\ !
at hand to show that 46 slowed
down. whistled for Broken Bow ,
or applied the air-brakes before
the strike occurred. 'l'hc train
was cquipped with air throughout -
out and could have been handled
either from the engine or caboose.
'l'rain No. 46 is due to lea\'e Bro-
. leen Bow at 6:04 : a. m. 'rhe col-
Hsion occurred 24 minutes bl'fore
_ .I"s leaving time.
" 'l'rai It No. 48 , ru nning as extra -
tra No. 373. l ft Seneca. its dhi-
sion point , at 3:00 : p. m. on the
27th. Its regular leaving time
from Sencca is 6:40 : a. m After
running east as far as An clmo.
train No. 48 was 12 hours latl' ,
and under the company's rules a
: r trai n 12 hours late looses its plare
on the time card as a regular
n train and becomes and extra.
Hunning out of Anselmo then ;
this train was numbered as extr. .
d No. 373. 48 left Anselmo ahout
11 o'clock p. m. on January 2i.
When it arrived at Merna the en.
gine pulling this train was un.
able to make the grade. and leave
the town. The testimony show
that the theoretical pulling ca.
pacit ) , of the engine attached to )
- - - - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - -
train ) io. 41 ; is 1.600 tons. When II
it lcft Seneca it consisted of 48
cars , 42 being loa s and 6 empties'
and carricd freig-ht amounting to
.1,770 tons. When this train
reached Merna and could 110t
make the grade , the engineer attempted - I
tempted to "slack" his train over
the grade and in so doing broke
his train apart. 15 cars behind
the engine. His engine' also run
out of water. The conductor
then placed the 33 cars 011 the
passing track at i\lcrua and pult-
ed the 15 cars on to Broken Bow.
where- thc eng-inc took water and i
bac1cd the 15 cars on to the side
track at Broken Bow. The conductor -
ductor arrived at Broken Bow
with 15 cars at 2:25 : a. m. on the
morning ol the 28th , and departed -
ed witn hi" engine west at 3:00 :
