J. A. McManigal , a freight fireman on
the B. & 31. , between this city and Mc
Cook , met with a very painful and what
might have been a fatal accident in the
yard at this place , yesterday afternoon.
An extra was being made up , and his
engine being the one chosen to pull the
train , had been backed down to where
the train was standing , and he , getting
down from the engine , went around to
make the coupling. From some cause
his foot happened to slip just as the en
gine bumper struck the car and his right
shoulder being between them , was se
verely crushed. No bones were broken
except the collar bone. The unfortun
ate man was taken to the Commercial
hotel , and is now under the care of Dr.
Sowers. He will be around again in a
few weeks. Hastings Gazette-Journal.
C. E. Wood , of the Chief , who has
been night operator at the B. & M.has
been discharged. Some tickets were
stolen while he was on duty. Helmet.
The above refers to the two tickets to
El Paso , Texas , which were stolen from
the coupon case in the depot ticket of
fice , some weeks agoby W. J. Blanc-hard ,
a telegraph operator and former em
ploye of the office from which he stole
the ticketsand , at the time of the theft
an employe at the division headquarters
of the western division of the B. & M.
at McCook. The company seem dispos
ed to censure 3Ir. Welch the ticket agent
and Mr. Wood , the night operator , for
Blanchard's crime. Wood being dis
missed and Welch salted to the tune of
$115. Both are victims of misplaced
confidence , they having good reason to
think Blanc-hard had returned to relieve
the day operator , ( who was about to
leave ) had no suspicion whatever of his
evil intent , never dreaming he was a
thief and had come there to do them up.
The theft was discovered and the offi
cials aware of the fact before Blanchard
reached Denver , or at least soon after ,
but he AWS allowed to go scott free , and
is still at large , the devil knows where.
Meanwhile the boys here are unjustly
suffering for the crime of another. Red
Cloud Chief.
For several years Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been prized for its speedy and
certain cures of croup. It is the favorite and
main reliance with thousands of mothers. It
will not only cure croup but if freely used as
# 0011 as the first indication of the disease ap
pears , that-is as soon as the child becomes the
least hoarse , it will prevent it , doingaway
with all danger and anxiety. There is not
the least danger in giving the remedy freely ,
as it contains no injurious substance. Sold
