    3. The Valley Falls New Era Jefferson County Thursday September 29,1910 Another Victim. W.E. SHIVELY, of Otego, Kans., a cousin of Ben F. SHIVELY, of Valley Falls was one of the number killed in the Rock Island railroad wreck in Norton county last Friday morning when our neighbor John Sloop lost his life. Wilbur E. Shively was about 25 years of age. He was on his way to Colorado where he was homesteading to visit a sister and occupy his claim. He had been on the fated train a few hours only. In the first report of the wreck his postoffice was given as Agar and friends were not sure at the time that a relative was among the slain. Confirmation came later. These railroad fatalities are getting too near home.
