wore mixed up in the freight collihion
at llorco Monday , arc In bad shape.
The way car Is almost completely de
molished. The front end of the loco
motive , also , IB badly shattered.
Engineer Wood , who was piloting
the oncoming engine , saw the way car
of the through freight ahead of him ,
moving. Ho thought the train , which
wftfl not supposed to stop at Pierce ,
was getting out of town. So ho came
ahead until ho was too close to stop.
No flagman had been sent back , as
the rules require , to halt the approach
ing train.
Brakeman Homer Williams had a
narrow escape. Ho was between the
way car and u freight car , on the
train that was struck. Somebody
rhouted to him just as he was about
to uncouple the air hoso. Ho jumped
last as the crash came. The way car
utruck him and hurled him out to one
sido. The way car was mashed Into
the car ahead. Another instant and
he would have been mashed between
them. The freight car ahead , filled
witlr machinery was badly damaged.
When the engine struck the way car ,
the locomotive lifted up the caboose
and ran under It. The smokestack of
the engine was battered off , the front
end caved in , a cylinder smashed and
other damage done. Then the way
car , after Jamming into the freight
car ahead , turned over on its side.

Honestoel accident. The train he took
out was Conductor George Searg's
train but the latter is enjoying a vn
cation.
Must Buy Stock In the Brewery.
Facts about the West Point brewery
and the prospects of that brewery
moving to Norfolk were given out by
a high official of the company to a
Norfolk relative yesterday.
The talk of the brewery moving to
Norfolk originated among the brewery
oflh'ials. who see the great advantages
the brewery would derive by moving
here. They want , however , enough
Ktook subscribed in Norfolk to build a
new brewery in this city and this , says
this official , would cost much money.
Probably $100,000 would have to bo
subscribed. It is said. A new brewery
built here would have to have a ca
pacity of about 75,000 barrels of beer
annually. Personally , this official Is
favorable to moving to Noroflk and
declared he did not know just how
other officials or directors of the com
pany felt about It. He could not state
definitely whether or not the brewery
would move to Norfolk. He declared ,
however , that the brewery would move
here if sufficient stock was subscribed ,
notwithstanding the fact that he would
be sorry to see the plant move from
West Point.
He did not believe that the brewery
would lose any of its present business
in West Point or elsewhere if it
moved here and was certain that the
business would be increased by reachIng -
Ing direct points which they now must
pay transfer charges.

Boss Hobo Re-arrested.
V Daniel Murphy Is back in Madison
county. In fact Daniel Is "doing time"
in the Madison county jail , and accord
ing to Sheriff C S. Smith , who passed
through Norfolk with him , Murphy will
continue "doing time" until the explr-
atlon of his regular sixty days' seni
tuneo. which Daniel suddenly inter1
rtipted by escaping from a deputy
sheriff at Madison hint summer.
Murphy has been In touch with the
Madison county authorities ever since
he left the county , but didn't know It.
Since his departure from Madison
county Murphy has vlsiled thowest-
orn coast but his fondness for Ne
braska brought him over the Union
'acllle ' via the box car route to Grand
Island , where Sheriff Smith bound him
with handcuffs and brought him back
to Madison.
Murphy Is a "boss hobo. " Last sum
mer he bowsed the Norfolk hobo camp
and objected when Special Agent Jolly
of the Northwestern ask d him lo
leave the railroad yards forever.
The result was that the dispatchers'
office In South Norfolk was turned
into an arena and Murphy gave Ihe
special agenl a full half hour's battle
before he allowed himself to believe
he had been subdued. During this bat-
tie the hobo tried every trick known
to professionals to injure the officer ,
but he was put out of commission.
Murphy , while boss of the Norfolk
hobo camp , had at least five "cripples"
hard In the game of "working" the
town for him , It was unnecessary for
him to make the rounds for the "dook-
lea" and the "crips" worked sympa
thetic men and women for enough
funds to buy a load of beer with suffi
cient supplies for twenty "mulligans"
thrown In. Murphy directed the oper
ations from headquarters and when
the special agent found him , Daniel
was fast asleep between two of the
"cripples" close to the ramp tire. He
objected strenuously to being arrested.
Murphy was taken to Madison for a
sixty day term , but ho oncaped after
serving thirty days. The authorities
believe him n dangerous man.
So He Served Out the Time.
