Distressing Fatal Accident
Last Saturday afternoon at about 500
oclock at a point about one and a half
miles east of the little town of Kanona
Kansas on the Burlingtons Republican
City Oberlin line occurred one of the
most distressing wrecks in tho history
of the McCook division Resulting as it
did in the instant death of two persons
and the serious injury of several more
while still others sustained minor in
juries sucn as uruises scaip wounas
etc The dead are
MISS MILLIE KOLL Republican
City Neb
HARRY Mexico Mo
Those severely injured are
Mrs W L Egbert Republican City

Dr A A Allen Topeka Kas
Ed Bender Hastings Neb
William Langmade Oberlin Kas
Tho train was composed of an engine
way car and two box cars and was in
charge of Conductor Aithur Lyman
with engineer William Koll and Fireman
W L Egbert on the engine
This liuo suffered a serious washout
Sunday July 2nd in the valley near
Republican City and until repairs were
completed on the 11th no trains had
been able to cross Conductor Lyman
and crew were on the west side of the
washout at tno time ana alter arrange
ments for transferring passengers ox-
press and mail had been effected were
used to ply between the washout
and Oberlin
Tho families of tho crews all live in
Republican City and owicg to the con
tinued absence of husbands and fathers
it had been arranged for the members
of tho families to go on the ill fated
train to Oberlin where the crews would
spend Sunday The party was made up
of Engineer Kolls wife and daughters
Millie and Mary Fireman Egberts wife
aud infant son and the wives of Brake
M R Sheldon and E O Scott
Before arriving at Norcatur tho way
car had been crowded with passengers
but at this point a nnmber of harvest
hands had left the train and at the time
of tho accident about twenty passen
gers still remained Of these four men
were riding on the front platform one
of them White losing his life after
jumping in an attempt to save it
There being no facilities for turning
the engine was run forward on the down
trip and backward returning to Oberlin
the rear wheels of the tank climbing the
rail caused the disaster That thev
should have done this on a straight level
track is without explanation At the
place of accident the track is on a fill
about ten fee4 high and both engine
and way car fell down this embankment
Millie Koll had gone over to Norcatur
to ride a short distance with her father
and was on the left side of the engine
When it turned over she was crushed
under the boiler head and afterwards
her body was shockingly scalded by hot
water and steam escaping from a broken
waterglass
Harry White was also instantly killed
being crushed by the falling way car
Assistance was summoned from Kan
ona and in a few minutes nearly a hund
red people responded to the call for
helpbringing such aid for the injured as
they could ufi such short notice Will
ing hands then undertook the task of
releasing the bodies of those killed
which could only be done by excavating
beneath them The bodies were then
taken to Kanona and afterwards to
Oberlin to secure the services of an un
dertaker
Brakeman Scott accompanied by his
wife drove over from Oberlin Sunday to
complete arrangements for burial of Miss
Koll here The rest of the party drove
over Monday afternoon with the re
mains
Services were held in the Methodist
j church Tuesday afternoon conducted
by Rev Erasmus Smith of Alma ma6y
McCook friends being present and

The following account of the death of

Edward Kane son of Mrs E Kane of
this village passed away at his home in
Portage Monday morning and was
buried at St Marys cemetery here on
Wednesday Ed Kane was a man who
laft Fox Lake a number of year ago in
the pride of his early life to carve out a
future for himself and his loved ones
He engaged in railroading and in a short
time had worked himself up into a good
position as conductor on the Burlington
system running from McCook Neb
where he made his home to Denver
He held this responsible position for
some twenty years and was considered a
most efficient and faithful employee by
the company About thirteen years ago
his health began to fail being afflicted
with a sort of creeping paralysis which
gradually sapped his health and life
away His eyes first became affected
then his hearing and finally every sense
he had gradually left him until the past
two years or so ic was doubtful whether
he knew or realized a thing Every
thing that the best of medical skill and
loving care and kindness could suggest
was done for him but there seemed no
help and he gradually failed and wasted
away until he was finally released of his
troubles and passed quietly away on
Monday morning aged 48 years He
married Miss Carrie Liebenstein of this
village who with her three children sur
vive him and they the sympathy of
their manv friends in their affliction
Tho funeral sermon by Father Hartmann
was a fine tribute to the departed and
the large attendance showed the esteem
in which he was held here at the old
home
