Inquest Orer M. J. fitnreokf Brings Out
Little Concerning Accident
TRAINMEN DENY KICKING HIM OFF
Brakesnaa Wks Was Preseat Said He
Pimply Told Him to Get OsT, aad
la Dolas So Stnrecks Fell
oa the Rail.
The Inquest Tuesday afternoon over M.
J. Sturecks of Columbus. Neb., who claimed
to have been thrown from Rock Island
freight train near Mlnden, la., Saturday,
receiving Injuries which snded In bis death,
resulted In the coroner's Jury returning
this verdict: "Deceased came to hi death
by reason of an accident received on the
Rock Island train known as No. 61, the
cause of which this Jury cannot determine."
H. Balrd, B. A. Bonham and T. A. Eaton
comprised the Jury.
O. W. Taylor, conductor of freight train
No. 66, was the first witness examined.
He testified that before leaving Mlnden he
gave order to the crew to put off all the
bums found on the train. When the acci
dent occurred the train was passing over
a piece of track being repaired and was
running not to exceed three miles an hour.
He saw the brakeman on the top of the
train and knew that he did not go down to
kick Sturecks off the position he was oc
cupying on the bumpers. The other brake
man, he said, waa In the caboose with him.
William Miller, the brakeman whom
Sturecks alleged had kicked htm off the
train testified that before leaving Mlnden
he had helped put the "bum" off the
train and that he stood by them tn order
to prevent them climbing on again until the
signal to go was given. He climbed on the
car next the caboose and started forward
to ascertain it any of the tramp had suc
ceeded In Jumping the train. He came
across one fellow five car ahead of the
caboose, whom he ordered off and the fel
low at once compiled. The train at this
time was running not to exceed three miles
an hour, the wltnes said, and a man could
have walked a fast as it was going. Seven
car from the caboose he found a man who
proved to be 8turecks Bitting on the bump
ers. The witness said he told him that
If he stayed there he would surely get hurt
and told him to Jump off, a they could
not carry him. Miller said the fellow got
off In a most awkward manner, as If he
was somewhat under the Influence of
liquor. Sturecks, h said, stumbled and
fell with his arms extended, on being
partially on the rail and the wheels of at
least two cars went over It.. Miller said
he at one itgnaled the engineer to stop and
the train was pulled up In a car' length
after the engineer got the signal.
Mad No Complaint.
The wltnes then testified to Sturecks'
being taken back to Mlnden and at that
time he made no complaint of being thrown
from the train. He was taken to the office
of ajooal doctor, who declined to amputate
the arm, and Dr. Doyle, the company'
urgeon at Neola, was sent tor. Dr. Doyl
on arrival dressed the Injured arm tem
porarily and ordered Stureck sent to Coun
cil Bluffs. -v .. - . -
Fred Williams, and George Caskey, two
other member of the train crew, did not
witness the accident, but . helped take
Sturecks back to Mlnden. They testified that
hs made no complaint about being thrown
from the train. '
Thomas Thomeen, keeper of a boarding
car, with whom Stureck had boarded for
two week, testified he was In the doctor'
office when Stureck waa brought in. II
said Sturecks asked him a a friend to see
that they did not cut off hi arm. Stureck,
he said, made a statement to the doctor,
but everyone waa ordered out of the office
while he was making It. The witness, how
ever, said he heard part of It and that
Sturecks said a brakeman had told him to
get off the train or he would kick him off
and that he had Jumped off to keep from
being kicked off.
Odte Parmley, a lad employed to carry
water for a section gang, witnessed the ac
cident and aaw Sturecks roll out from un
der the train.' He testified that he heard
Stureck say that a brakeman had kicked
htm off. On cross-examination young Parm
ley testified that he had later heard Stur
eck say that a brakeman had told him to
get off or he would kick him off.
Clyde Pitman, who was riding on a fiat-
car in the train, testified that he did not
witness the accident, but law Stureck roll
out from between the cars and assisted In
taking him back to Mlnden. He said that
8tureck stated that a brakeman had or
dered him to Jump off, otherwise he would
be kicked off.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK OF NEW REPUBLIC
Fatare of the Katlon Depends on
F.dacatlnn and Good Work Desna
hy Americans Most Be
I Ccntlnned.
HAVANA, May 28.-rreldent Talma's
message I published her tonight and will
be delivered to the Cuban senate tomorrow.
Th message opens by giving thsnka to the
Almighty for HI assletanc In carrying out
th work of obtaining Cuban Independence,
and aska divine aid In th establishment ot
firm and stable government.
"Never did a people fight with mor per
severance," eaya the message, "and sacri
fice mot for liberty thsn have the Cuban.
No people, therefore, are more entitled to
see their Just efforts crowned with suc
cess. Together with our own heroism la
th attitude of th great people Impelled
by their own love of liberty to put them
selves on our side In our tenacious fight
for the Independence of the country. Their
motive was one of generous sentiment, pur
and disinterested In origin.
"Impelled by this sentiment, the powerful
republic of the north recognizes through
Its Illustrious president, the republic ot
Cub. The promise formally made has been
carried out. In thl moment, when we feel
our right as an Independent nation. It ia
Impossible to suppress our gratitude to
the United States.
. Recognition of Debt Exalts.
"To recognize this debt ot gratitude to
the great nation Is an act which exalts us
and which make us worthy of th con
sideration and respect ot the other nation
of the world. It la necessary now to dic
tate all the law laid down In the consti
tution. We are capable ot fulfilling all
the obligations and compromises which
have been contracted and we should pre
pare the budget with the greatest care."
President Palma recommend the encour
agement of the agricultural Industries ot
the Island, th raising of cattle, the estab
lishment of agricultural station to Im
prove the culture of sugar can and to
bacco and the Introduction of varied agri
cultural industries.
"While the question ot reciprocity I still
pending," the message goes on, "It Is Im
possible to state now what measure should
be adopted to meet the pending crisis.
Thl crisis Is due to the ruinous price of
sugar caused by excessive production ot
beet sugar In Europe. An Immediate rem
edy would be the reduction ot the America-
can tariff on sugar to obtain which the
executive will at once devote his efforts
and will negotiate a treaty in order to ob
tain benefit for the Cuban sugar producer
Most Increase Rural Guard.
"If security of life and property In Cuba
Is to be finally guaranteed, the rural guard
must be reorganized and Increased, as the
present tranquillity In the Island Is due
to the people themselves and their de
elre to maintain the prestige of their coun
try.
"We recognize that during the American
lntervbntton the sanitary condition of the
Island were greatly Improved, but It la
necessary to continue thl work and make
those Improved conditions permanent.
"The office of Judge In Cuba should be
permanent and to constitute thla principle
of Immovability should be one of the first
duties of congress."
.President Palma declares It 1 the pur
pose of the government to devote Its at
tention to education, and especially to prl
mary schools. He say the go verb men t of
Intervention deserves great credit for th
ducatlonal system It established, but that
there Is a need for still more schools,
the future of the republlo depends upon
education.
More Railroads Wanted.
It will be the duty of the government
to encourage the copatructlon of railroad
In the Island and to protect the capital al
ready invested In railroad enterprises.
The executive say he realize the obll
gatlon which the government contracted
with the Cuban army and that If mean
ar not now taken to make good this obit
gatlon it is because ot the bad economic
situation of the country. President Palma
say he does not yet know how the ordl
nary expense of government are to be
met.
"It is very essential to us," the presl.
dent says, "that ths republic ot Cuba haa
been officially recognized by the United
States, Great Britain, France, Mexico,
Guatemala,' Nicaragua, 8anto Domingo,
Ecuador and Paraguay, and we hope that
other countries will alao recognize our re
public. We must cultivate cordial rela
tions with all nation and make treaties
ot commerce favorable to Cuba. We must
also take especial care that tho relations
between Cuba and the United States be
most friendly in order that there be no
difficulty In arranging the official and po
litical questions which affect both coun
tries. It is also of extreme importance
that there should exist uninterrupted ac
cord between all the people of Cuba, and
that they should resolve to preserve th
Cuban nationality.".
