CONDUCTOR IS KILLED BY TRAIN.
Lifeless Body of Joseph Wolford Found Beside
Tracks in Canadian Yards.
The lifeless body of Conductor
Joseph Wolford of the Santa Fe
freight service was found about
2 o'clock Sunday morning in the
yards of the company at Cana
dian, Texas. The train was
switching preparatory to leaving
Canadian at the time the body
was discovered beside the tracks.
Doth legs of Conductor Wol
ford were crushed just aboye the
ankle, the left being almost sev
ered. The back of the neck was
torn to the bone, the wound ex
tending from one ear to the
other. The face was bruised
and torn. The arms and the
body bore marks of violence.
The body was brought to Ama
rillo as soon after the discovery
as possible, and removed from
the train to the Maddrey-Kenyon
parlors. This evening the re
mains will go north to Florence,
Kansas, for burial, accompanied
by Mines. Kinkaid and Rooney,
and Messrs. W. J. Hamilton and
J. T. Ray and perhaps other
members of the Order of Rail
way Conductors.
Just how Conductor Wolford
came to his death will perhaps
never be known, as he was unat
tended at the time. It was the
impression that he had stepped
into the telegraph oftice or some
other place, while the train was
making up, and had been absent
from the crew but a few minutes
at most at the time of the dis
covery of his dead body. Life
was extinct, but the body was yet
warm when removed to the train
for transportation to Amarillo.
It is believed that from the char
acter of the wounds death was
instant.
Joseph Wolford had run as
conductor in the Santa Fe freight
service out of this city for three
or more years, and lived at 407
Lincoln street. He was never
married, but has relatives in
Kansas at different points. He
was thirty-nine years of age, and
had been in the railway service
about eighteen years.
Conductor Wolford was a fa
vorite with the officials of the
road and his fellow conductors of
the Order of Railway Conduc
tors. Outside of railway circles
he had many friends. He was
generous almost to a fault, and
was known ever to have a help
ing hand for those in need among
the members of the craft. He
came to Amarilloon account of his
health, having been a sufferer
from asthma for years. In this
altitude he entirely recovered,
and at the time of death was in
perfect health. Daily Panhan
dle.
Conductor Wolford was well
known by many people in this
city and he counted all these as
his friends and when announce
ment was made of his sudden
death words of regret could be
heard from all who knew him.

In the Manday issue of the
daily papers is reported the death
of James S. Harrison, the editor
to the News at Moran, Texas.
Mr. Harrison was one of the best
known newspaper men of the
state having been engaged in the
work for the past forty years or
more. He was an ex-confederate
soldier and was also : a member
of the Masonic lodge. His death
was caused from paralysis of the
heart and was sudden. He was
about 66 years of age and was
well liked by all the newspaper
fraternity who knew him.
LOAFER, BUT HAD REAL TACT.
Delicate Situation That Was Handled in
Masterly Manner.
"Talking about tact," said a
woman who is just verging on
middle age, "I never saw anyone
get out of a difficult situation
more deftly than did a man I met
at a blacksmith shop in a New
England village I was driving
through last summer. I was
alone in the lanes with my friend
the horse, when I noticed that he
limped a bit, so when we reached
the next village I stopped at the
door of the blacksmith shop. A
man was holding up the doorpost
and to him I said :
" 'Will you please tell the black
smith to come out? I want to see
him.'
"After the manner of the vil
lage loafer, he did not stir, but
smiled sweetly and lifting up his
voice cried :
"Bill, come out! There's a lady
wants to see you.
"From the depths of the black
smith shop a vo'ce roared:
"Is she young, John, or old?
"In the words of an old poem,
I looked at John and John looked
at me. Then, still without mov
ing, he called:
" 'You'll be satisfied, Bill, when
you get out."
"I Sho' is Sick."
An old negro man was riding
on the train and fell asleep with
mouth wide open. A mischiev
ous drummer came along, and,
having a convenient capsule of
quinine in his pocket, he uncork
ed it and sifted it well onto the
old negro's palate and the root jf
his tongue. The old darky,
awakening, became much dis
turbed. He called for the con
ductor and asked:
"Boss, is dere a doctor on dis
here train?"
"I don't know," said the con
ductor. "Are you sick?"
"Yas, sah, I sho is sick, I sho
is sick.''
"What's the matter with you?"
"I dunno, sir, but it tastes like
I dun busted my gall." Confed
erate Veteran.

"You're rather a young man to
be left in charge of a drug

"Why er no, sir," replied the
