DEATH IN THE DARKNESS.
Fatal Bridge and a Bridesmaids
Fate.

Yesterday mornings passenger train
brought the intelligence of the death of
a brakeman, night before last, between
Rawlins and Green River. The dead
man was braking on the first section Of
No. ., emigrant and fast fruit, and was a
new man on the road. When the train
left Green River City he was a little under
the influence Of liquor, and this, added to
his ignorance of localities, was probably
the cause of his death. Some time after
the train had left Green River the con
ductor found the new man, about mid
night. sitting down in one of the cars. and
told him he had better 90 to the head
brakes. This was the last seen of him.
When the train reached Rawlins he
could not be found. and a telegram was
sent to the second section, behind. asking
if he was aboard, under the %supposition
that he had in some way missed his own
train at a station, and been picked up by
the one following, A negative answer
was returned, and search was again made
for him.. His body was finally found on
top Of one of the emigrant cars, with the
back part of the skull crushed to a jelly.
He had evidently been struck by the
timbers Of a bridge, ard a comparison OF
notes located the scene of the fatal acct
dent about midway between Green River

Cheyenne yesterday morning, was a stall
wart and despite the multi, a martial fly

the born and gallant soldier. This was

Like a galvanic shock came to the
writer the recognition of one whom he

grape and canister. the exulting whist,
of the deadly minnie, the fall of the noble
dead, the reeling ranks and the shout Of
victory.
Seated together, the writer listened to
the story OF his long lost irieBd. On the
day at Yellow Tavern when the riders of
the South followed Stuart's plume into
the hurting death storm OF hity guns, the
colonel rode boot to boot with the great
cavalry leader. AS the smoke thickened
