That a tlfth memtxsr of the lll-fatcd
party icnt to death on tho pilot of nn
onrushlng psssencer train at Sarpy
crossing early Thursday mornlns ecaie(l
with his life because" fcalr '.thought to
play a. prank upon" him Is a itory county
official! are bending o'very erftfrt to
verify today. The Identity of the fifth
pcraon-a man-has not yet bean learned.
The story has It that the man was
p ked up by Bar near Millard and was
going to Omaha also. At the crossing,
when Calr stopped to allow tho freight
train to pass, the man got out for a
moment After the. freight train had
passed and llalr was under the Impres
sion that the track was clear ho started
to cross. One of the other members of
the party laughingly, threatened to leavo
the fifth man behind. Then the crash
came.
IjncWrv Joke.
A railroad man 'wno Is safd to have
witnessed the accident Is the authority
for the story.
It was a. grisly ioke. If true," Mid
Coroner Crosby. ''It we certainly a
lucky one for tho man, though, whq evei
l.c la."
Crosby haa one of his assistants work
ins; on the story, but except what la
here printed ho has no further lnforma
t on. nor has any evidence been un
earthed to show conclusively that there
was a fifth member of the party. Tho
man who told tnc story "thinks ho Is
positive," but that Is as far as It gbci.
To Hold Iiiqnrt 3Iotidny.
The InQuest will bo held Monday morn
ing; at the Crosby chapel.- Over ft score
of witnesses have been subpoenaed- al
ready. Relatives of tho victims have, en
gaged counsel to represent them at the
inquest.
All day Ions; Friday and all Thursday
afternoon friends, relatives, acquaint
ances and plain ordinary morbidly curi
ous persons streamed In nnd out at the
mortusf) to view tho bodies of tho un
fortunate party. In tho last twenty-four
hours 'Willis Crosby estimates the num
ber of .visitors at about 1,200.
Mr. Ash, father of tho dead gfrl, who
was to havo been young Krug'a bride, re
malned at the morguo for several hours
yesterday. Every few minutes ho would
walk back to tho stone slab upon which
lay the cold form of his only daughter.
"Oh! My baby, my baby!" he would
moan. Then ho would take a step closer,
but only to hack suddenly away, as If In
alarm. "Oh Cod! I can't look at her.
Not this way! My baby!" Time and again
tho hoartbroken father ropcatcd the scene, j
unconscious or outers near him, whose
tender sympathy for him showed in their
dimmed eyes.
W'ltneaara nt Inquest,
The Union taclflo will bo represented
at the Inquest, both by attorneys and wit
nesses. Claim Agent Peterson has been
securing witnesses since Thursday and
expects, to be able to show conclusively
that at the time the accident occurred
on the crowing the signal bell was ring
ing an a warning that a train was In tho
block. . He expects to be able to show
that had tho driver of the automobile
used prdlnsry precaution, ho could havo
looked east along tho track and seen tho
neadllght of the approaching engine
when It was fully one-half mile from the
crossing.
