Wilsonville Review. The McCook yard was the scene of a horrible rible and fatal accident , Sunday night , the victim being a young man named W. E. Staley. It appears that the dead man was preparing to steal a ride to Akron on a freight train , and was riding on some cars which were being switched in the yard. In some way he fell between two cars and be fore the accident became known to the train men and the cars brought to a standstill , he was mangled in a horrible manner. From letters found on his person it was ascertained that his parents lived at Townsend , Colo. , and to the latter point the remains were ship ped on No. 1 , Monday noon. Art Johnson now knows from his own ex perience what it is to have a narrow escape from death. He went down on the special Thursday nieht to hear the debate at Min- den. The special waited at Axtell for No. 5 , which was late , to pass. Mr. Johnson started to go up to the depot when No. 5 came rushing by. He stopped a few feet from the track , when some one came up from behind and ran into him and the next Mr. Johnson knew lie was sprawled out on the pilot with the other man bcsideiim. | ) Mr. Johnson was bruised up considerably , but was about every day. A narrow escape surely. We have not been able to learn who the other fellow was , but hear that he re ceived a broken leg in fracas. Holdrege Citizen. Mrs. J. H.
