man who boarded at the Pacific hotel started

It would appear that the Stoddard elope-
ment wasn't much of an elopement after all.
Mrs Stoddard's father says, she has been in
Cumberland, Wisconsin, with her sister,
ever since she left here, but the unpleasant
fact remains that Jim Yerksin's clothes were
packed with hers when she left, and they
both disappeared about the same time, and
that is the foundation on which we based
our article.
We understand the man Coles has struck
another land bonanza. As near as we can
understand, the facts are about these: Some
workingmen who bought lots in one of the
additions to the city and built on the same,
went through some irregular process and
left open a place which Coles is always look
ing for to open proceedings. He bought the
titles and is now ready to eject the owners.
From what We can learn it is dirty piece of
business.
TERRIBLE TUMBLE.
AS the eastern bound train on the West
Wisconsin road rounded the curve at the
Hudson bridge yesterday noon it was dis
covered that the draw was open and the
lives of the passengers and train men were
in irinent peril. 1t was mixed train, there
being thirteen freight cars and two passenger
coaches. The fireman, Whose name could
not be learaed), and John Drummond, the
engineer, jumped off the engine and fortu-
nately escaped. The engine, five fats loaded
with rock, and four freight cars went over
the preciLice, jumping twenty-five feet and
Landing in twenty feet of water. The two
coaches and four freight cars did not go over.
When the GLOBE reporter appeared on the
scene at O'Clock nothing had been done to
straighten up the wreck, and it appeared in all
its native terribleness. Nothing could be seen
of the locomotive, as it was entirely under
water. All that could be seen was con-
fused mass of car wheels, planks, break
rods, etc. When the leap was made q
steamer was going through the draw with
raft of logs, and the locomotive came near
jumping into the lap of the steamer. AS it
was, she made dive clear through the raft
pinioning it fast 30 it could not be moved.
1t was almost a miracle that no lives were
lost and no blood shed, for if the engineer
and fireman had been in the cab when it
went over they could not have escaped with
their lives. The number of the train was
Is, and engine No. 4, J. Cosgraves conductor,
and John Drummond, engineer.
The desecrated raft was owned by
A. L. Gillispie, of this city, and
was being towed by the steamer Silver Lake.
The brakes had been put hard On the two
rear cars and the strain on the other cars
was the cause of breaking couple between
the sixth and seventh cars from the rear.
If this break had not occurred the whole
train would certainly have been precipitated
into the lake and many lives lost. The total
loss will approximate $4,000. When the
fireman made his leap for life he landed in a
pile of stone and had his knees consider
ably bruised. The thanks of the GLOBE are
due Dennis Boyle of the Lakeland road for
civilities, especially sumptuous supper pre-
pared by his worthy cook.
