Near Highland two miners named
Kennedy and Flynn keep a little
shop for sharpening tools. One
night recently some miscreant filled
the hole in the anvil with powder
and scattered powder over the anvil
and block. The trick was dis
covered next morning by Julias Win
tiers, who went in to sharpen drill.
The powder had become damp and
and when sparks fell upon it, 1t only
sputtered in way to lead to Its
detection, but the result might have
been the loss of eyesight or life

In SealSkin and Poke.
Milwaukee Daily Journal

About four o'clock, Thursday
morning, January Sd, Roundsman
O'Brien's attention was called to a
young girl, apparently 10 years old,
dressed in a sealskin cloak and poke
bonnet, in conversation with John
Blankenhorn and a young man
named "Siga" Simons. From her
youth and general appearance the
officer thought all was not right and
conducted the girl to the central
police station, where she was locked
up.
When questioned by detective,
she gave her name as Susie Ellis,
16 years old, and said her father was
well to do farmer and ime-kiln
owner, living at Dodgeville, near
Madison. In June last, she made
the acquaintance OF a travelling rep
resentative of a Milwaukee wholesale
liquor firm, who induced her, under
promise OF marriage, to leave her
home and accompany him to Mil
waukee. Arriving in that city he
declined to marry her, fearing as he
said that his employers would hear
of it and discharge him. The two
then proceeded to Racine. They
lived together several days, he
promising to marry her as soon as
circumstances would permit. Fl
nally he deserted her, she following
him back to Milwaukee with the
intention of compelling him to fulfill
his promises. Here she ascertained
that she had been duped, learning
that her lover was a married man,
having wife and family. Fearing
to return home, she secured employ
ment in an East side clearinghouse,
where she remained until yesterday
morning The police have taken
the case in hand, and propose to CO.
operate with Supt Whitehead, of
the humane society, in arresting
the man who is said to have enticed
the girl from her home. At present
she is locked at police headquarters.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. %.
A very remarkable railroad accident
occurred near Georgetown, Col, ON Sat.
nrday. The Denver-bound passenger
train on the Colorado Central Railroad
was completely blown from the track by
the wind. The train, consisting of the
engine, baggage-car and two coaches, left
the depot ~ Georgetown at time when
a pretty good gale was blowing, with
thirteen passengers on board At point
mile out of the city the wind had in
creased almost to a hurricane. The
train men were fearful of the accident
and slowed the train. Ahead was a high
grade, and 1t was resolved not to run it
till the wind had ceased. The train was
running very slow when the accident
occurred. Several times the cars toppled
when the gusts came more violently, but
righted again, and when the lurch came
pared for 1t. The passenger coaches
were the first to go. They turned over
twice. The baggage-car alighted bot
tom-upward, and the engine was 90
its side. The embankment was only five
feet high. OF the thirteen passengers six
were injured, but none fatally. Miss
Mary Burke, of Blackhawk, was the worst
hurt. She'had her hands and face badly
burned by Goals from the overturned
stoves. Engineer Wartzheimer had his
nose broken. John Wilson, of Denver,
suffered o broken hip. Martin Sch anck,
chin and nose cut. Mrs. Rittenbucg of
Slyerplume, two-inch cash on her head.
Benz. Wishart, sprained arm. The pas
sengers who escaped walked bacI; to
Georgetown, and conveyance was sent
Two years ago similar accident
happened at the same point in the road.
The theory advanced thus far is that
where the accident occurred there are
two high mountains, one considerably
higher than the other, that the wind
blowing from the top of the smaller
one would strike the other and create q
sort of whirlwind, which is claimed was
what blew the train from the track. Con-
siderable other damage is reported by
the storm.

A Painful Case.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 27.-Near San
bonn, Dakota, Mr.. Nelson and his two
daughters, aged ten and twelve years, left
home about an hour before the storm burst,
for the purpose of getting some hay, which
they had been burning as fuel, and have
not been heard of since. The hay stack
was about half mile from the house. A
searching party of neighbors went out on
Tuesday and found that Mr.. Nelson had
been at the hay stack and had secured the
hay, which was tied in bundles for conven-
fence in carrying, and fliat the two smaller
bundles, designed for the children, were
found about ten rods from the point of start
ing and still larger bundle was found at a
greater distance, but no trace could be found
of either girls or their father. Search has
proved fruitless. The mother and three
surviving children are destitute, their :rope
having been destroyed by fire alter the
harvest
