, Wednesday Night.
The verdlnt of tha coroner's iurv
which held an inauest Tuesday after
noon over the remains of Albert Allen,
who bad been run over and killed on
the Dallas-Independence railroad
Tuesday morning, was that the de
ceased had come to his death through
Ms own carelessness.
It amieara that Mr. Allen, who for
five years had been living on the poor
farm nearMonmouth was totally deaf.
He could talk but could not under
stand the deaf sign language. He
was walking on the track when the
train approached and as itneared him
he stepped off for a moment, but
stepped on again almost directly In
front of the engine, when it was too
late for the train to be stopped. He
was alive when picked up but died In
a few minutes, before he couia De
taken Into town.
Albert Allen was about 74 years of
aire at tha time of his death. He was
born near Amltv and had been a resi
dent of this county almost continu
ous! v. Hia brother. Field Allen, or
Dallas, his sister, Mrs. S. R. Smith, of
Monmouth, and two other sisters,
resldinc- InSnokane. Washington and
Moscow, Idaho respectively, survive
him.
The deceased had enough money in
the bank to pay his funeral expenses
The funeral services were held In
Monmouth, Wednesday afternoon, the
remains being buried In the Mon
mouth cemetery.
Two Games Of Baseball.
A baseball game has been scheduled
for this afternoon between the Dallas
White Sox and the team from the
Boys' Club of Dallas, both junior
teams but both regarded as fast and
skillful players. The game Is to be
played at the baseball park In North
Dallas, and will be called at 4 o ciook
sham. An admission fee of 10 and 15
cents will be charged. Sunday's game
between the Dallas Grays ana tne
Sherwood team bids fair to be one of
the heat games of the season. Sher
wood comes to Dallas witn a reputa
tlon as one of the strongest nines on
the West Side while, the record of the
locals this season clearly shows them
tnhaln line to lav claim to similar
distinction. The game resulting from
the meeting of these two strong teams
nil I ha wan north witnessing by fans
who enjoy a hard and closely contested
game.
Will Open New Addition.
The Wllklns Real Estate Company

features of the day. The Dallas band
will be secured to furnish music for
the occasion.
Our Correspondence
The Merchauts' Protective Associ
ation held a meeting In the Court
bouse, Wednesday night, the repre
sentation of the business firms of the
city being large.
The subject of meetings and the
dates on which they are to be held was
brought up for a thorough discussion
and it was decided that meeting nights
should be set for tbe second and fourth
Mondays In each month In future.
A suggestion was made for several
lirmortant changes In the methods of
compiling and maintaining the lists
ot tne association, macn list is to oe
dated so that there will be no danger
of tbe merchants In tbe association
allowing them to become confused
with the lists of a former Issue.
A demand was also made for a com
plete revision of tbe list now en hand,
since it Is claimed that a number of
the people whose names are entered
uDon -it. have moved away from
Dallas and will probably not return
to this city. It was decided that the
list should be revised at tbe next
regular meeting of the association
and mat everv member snouia oe noti
fied to be r resent on that occasion, so
that the work might be done syste
matically and witn tnorougnness.
With a view to the DroDosed revision
of the list an amendment to the consti
tution was introduced and passed,
providing that ail names submitted
for entry upon the list should be passed
ii tin n hv the association as a whole.
instead of being left in the hands of a
mm mitten. This plan will make a
considerable change in the work of
tbe secretary of the association, so it
was decided to postpone action on tne
proposition to increase his salary,
until the first meeting next month.
when a better idea of the exact nature
and extent of his duties will have been
obtained.
