Twenty minutes latter a through freight

laundering along from Eikhart. The en-
zinecr had no knowledge Of the repairs
that were being made upon the bridge
ana for some unacountabie reason the
torpedo did not explode to give him
warning. His first intimation Of danger
was the glimpse he caught Of the red
aar. Quickly reversing the engine he
looked ahead saw the frantic gesticuia'
tons Of the workmen and jumped IRON

The engine passed over the girders with
safety. but Just Is Il reached the other

A Fine Crop of Onions.

Denver Republican.
One of the finest crops of onion:
ever raised in this state. or any other va:
grown by Mr.. Z. P. Horne of Argo, thi:
season. Yesterday he called at this Office
and took a Republican reporter out to lool
at them. He planted little less thar
eight acres with Yellow Dsnyer onions ano
his crop averages over 500 bushels 10 the
acre by actual weight. They are very
large, some OF them weighing over a
pound, and arc sound ant fine flavor
ed. Mr.. Horne's large crop is the result Of
great care in selecting seed and giving the
growing plant proper attention; also il
properly preparing the ground for tht
seed. On the eight acres he used over 6
thousand loads of manure, which, before
putting on the land he had thoroughly rot
ted by wetting 1t several times and leaving
1t in the sun. His seed he raised himself
and selected that which was perfectly
sound and full grown. Mr.. Horne's farm
is located near the end OF the Twenty-thirt
street viaduct, the portion of 1t on which
the onions was raised being in the city
limits. He has a large store-honse cap
able of holding :, 600 bushels, arranged 90
that he can vsntilate it and give the onions
plenty OF air when he stores them, unit
