A dude of the dudest type got of ,he cars the other day, and surveyed the ruins of the town with a critical eye.
 "Haw," he remarked, addressing an old timer, "have you any game around heahi"

DOWN TODEATH
A RAILROAD ENGINE HURLED
 DOWN JOHNSON'S CANON
STRUCK BY A PIECE OF ROCK
 WEIGHING TWENTY TONS.
THE FIREMAN INSTANTLY KILLED. ENGINEER AND BRAKEMAN
 SCALDED.

Special to the CHAMPION.
 WILLIAMS, March 2, Io86.-I A. M. Shortly after midnight freight train pulled out of this place going west. It had entered Johnson's Can on, travelling five or six miles an hour, it being an upgrade. At this point the railway track runs along one of the side walls of the canon, midway between the top and bottom. When the train was few lengths west of the bridge, and near the tunnel, huge rock, estimated to weigh twenty tons, became loosened from the top walls of the canon, Falling with terrific force, it struck the engine full in the center, and hurled 1t with one blow down a depth of one hundred and fifty feet into the chasm below.
 1t was dark and a deep snow lay on the ground. When the conduc tor, who was in the caboose, heard the crash and ran to the forward par ot the train. he found the engine and two freight cars gone down the preci pice, and third car banging ove' the edge, where it had been checked by the coupling chains. The rocl that had done the mischief lay acros, the track, whick had been torn ul for the length of three rails.
 On the engine had been Ensinee Sandiord, Fireman Marion Nils, anc brakeman, named Costello, wa known to have been somewhere or he forward cars, When search wa made the engineer and brakeman were found both scalded, but not oth erwisc seriously injured. The deat body of the fireman, Marion Mills was discovered with his head mashed to pulp. He must have been killed instantly. The west bound expres train was but a short distance behlnc the freight when the accident hap pened, and will have 10 wait until ih, track is cleared. Tn" rock is o( sucl enormous size that it will have to bt blasted before it Can be removed.
 Nothing IS known here about tn, dead fireman, Marion Mills, furthel than that he is a brother of Trait Master Mills, who was formerly sta tioned at Winslow.

THE point upon which Messrs. Eva

THE point upon which Messrs. Evarts Lo-
gan and Teller disagree with Messrs Hoar
and Frye, in the Payne case, is that the cor
ruption only extended to the caucus wherein
Mr.. Payne was nominated, and not to the
Legislature wherein Mr.. Payne was elected.
That is to say, that the men with Payne
"boodle" in their pockets, who went into
caucus and voted for Mr.. Payne as a nominee,
and the next day went into the legislative
chambers and voted for Mr.. Payne for Sena-
tor, were acting in such different capacities
that the Senate cannot treat them as the same
persons nor their act as continuous act.
AS members of the caucus they could be and
were bribed, but as members of the Legisla-
ture they were not bribed, and there can be
no investigation unless it is shown that they
were bribed when acting as members of the
Legislature. Poobah never made finer dis
tinction. The report, when made, should be
incorporated into the "Mikado." There is no
more subtle humor in the lines of that ex-
travagant burlesque.

Puck for this week presents two-page
colored cartoon representing the President
lashed to the mast of principle, while the
Cabinet are on deck manfully doing their
every duty. The picture has additional inter
est in the fact that it does not contain the
portrait of Attorney general Garland. While
they were leaving out such as do not come up
to that standard of excellence supposed to be
represented in the President, they might have
omitted Villas, the author Of the secret circu-
lar to Democratic Congressman, though, after
all, we believe he issued that famous paper on
the suggestion and approval of the President,
and it would not do to leave him out.
