Slaby, an engineer em- Vloyed on the Chicago, Burlington & 5 Quincy road, met death in a tragic manner last Saturday about one and a j half miles west of Akron, Colo. Mr. I Slaby was one of the best known en- Eiijctrs on the Burlington road, and his death has saddened a, legion of friends. The funeral, which was held from St. Patrick's church, was one of the largest on record. On Saturday last he had his engine on the Burlington tracks going at an ordinary rate of speed, when his brakeman and fireman noticed an engine en-gine on the same track coming straight toward them. They jumped to save themselves, but Mr. Slaby remained at his post long enough to apply the air brakes. It took him a second too long, and the oncoming engine crashed into his and crushed him, causing death almost al-most instantly. The runaaway engine had stood on the tracks for about six hours apparently without life, but it is thought that perhaps it had a leaky throttle and accumulated enough steam in tho cylinder to start itself. Mr. Slaby is survived by a wife and two sons, to whom the sympathy of' friends is extended. Social. Mrs. Clominger of 38 West Fourth avenue pleasantly entertained the .members .mem-bers of the Aandern club at her home last week.

The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Frank Cavanaugh, 263S Meade street, March S. The concert planned by Father Joseph Jo-seph P. Carrigan for the celebration of St. Patrick's day has come to be a generally gen-erally acknowledged feature of the occasion. oc-casion. Plans are on foot to make this year's attempt even more successful from an artistic standpoint than last. It. will be held at the Broadway theatre the-atre on the evening of Sunday, March 12.
