TWENTY SIXTH YEAR
DIES UNDER WHEELS
David McMannis Pays the Penalty of
Attempting to Steal Ride
BOTH LEGS ARE CUT OFF
Hlllsboro Kentucky Dead Mans Home-
Remains Interred In St Patricks
Cemetery on Tuesday
Saturday night about nine oclockj
David McMannis lost his life in the
Burlington yards under the wheels of a
locomotive Both legs were practically
cut off besidefl the man sustained great
shock Exact facts nro not easily ob
tainable but we gather the following
statements
It is likely from indications and ad
missions that the man was intending to
beat his way on train No G then in the
yrrd and that he waB run over by the
engine of that train which had been
detached from tho train and was back
ing up on another track to the round
house
The injured man died at about one
oclock Sunday morning He was for
awhile able to communicate with those
in charge
It was ascertained that his folks
lived in Hillsboro Kentucky and they
were communicated with by wire as to
what disposition to make of his body
but specific instructions for some
reason or other were not received until
after the remains had been interred
On Tuesday morning about nine
oclock the remains were buried in
Saint Patricks Catholic cemetery Tho
instructions to ship the remains to Hills
boro Kentucky were not delivered to
the undertaker until on the following
morning hence this request could not
be complied with
It is reported that the man was mar
ried and had a wife and two children
living
Employees tho Stephons restaurant
state that the dead man and a compan
ion ate supper in that restaurant that
evening The companion was evidently
more fortunate in getting on the train
and likely departed on the train with
out knowing of the injury to his friend
McMannis Lad 9 in money on his
person
To The Public
The public is hereby notified that the
real estate and insurance firm doing
business under the name of Lindemann
Moyer dissolved business relations

mann will not be responsible for accounts
made by the latter W C Moyer sub
sequent to the above date I wish
further to correct an error which appears
in the ad on first page of the new city
directory The words Bonded Ab
stracters appears immediately below
our names This was placed there
without my consent and is an untruth
as there is no bond on file and I advised
against it owing to the fact that we
were both inexperienced in abstracting
I wish to have it understood that I am
not responsible for this and do not pose
as an abstracter
I will continue the real estate and in
surance business as heretofore but in a
new location aB the new bank will open

Lock and Block System
When the Burlingtons scheme of im
proving the Omaha Denver lino is fin
ished there will be as nearly perfect a
system of block signals as has yet been
devised for the protection of traffic and
the prevention of wrecks The system
will cost in the neighborhood of 150
000 and will be the lock and block
type with the blocks including the
space between stations It will have
the advantage of requiring the opera
tors at both ends of tho blocks to op
erate it and thus minimize the chances
of accident Its chief drawback is that
it will require trains to stay one station
apart which may have the tendency
to interfere with tho making of fast
tini9
It is said that the new system once
established will result in the making
of every blank siding into a block
station with an operator located there
to attend to the passing of trains This
will it is announced semi ofllcially
give employment to at least fifty new
operators Part of the material for the
lock and block system is already on
hand and much of the remainder has
been ordered
The operation of the system is not
complicated though it requires two
men to do it When the train ap
proaches station A the operator at A
calls up the operator at station B who
pulls the lever which sets the signals
and keeps out any trains from the op
posite direction As soon as the train
enters the block between A and B the
operator at A again calls B who calls
C In the meantime no train can en
ter the block until the train using it
has passed into the next
Between Omaha and South Omaha
where switch engines are constantly
buzzing the automatic type of block
system will be installed not because
it is safer but that there may be less
delay in one of the busiest yards on
the system
In western Nebraska where the sta
tions are comparatively far apart and
in eastern uoioraao snanties will be
built at every passing track and here
tho block machinery will be installed
with an operator to actuate it It is
on these blind sidings that the fifty
extra operators are to be placed ac
cording to the declaration of officials
Signal semaphore and block work in
the new Lincoln yards now under con
struction west of the city will cost it
is estimated not far from 850000
