a physician of st. Paul related the
following little incident in the career
of a fellow student The appearance
of the latter was not such as to i'm
press the casual observer with theidea
that he was an AIsculapius in the sci
ence of medicine, and when he swung
his title IN. D." out in the chilly
breeze, it attracted little attention
from the sick and suffering. The man
also became an unconscious butt of
some of the more light hearted young
ladies. Several of the holder ones
finally concocted a scheme designed
to bring him TO irretrievable humilia-
ton. A messenger was dispatched in
haste to summon the young Galen to
set a fractured limb. Quickly gather
ing the bandage and instruments nee
essary, the doctor followed. Arriving
at the house designated, he was met
with due gravity and informed that
his patient was in the rear yard,
whittier he vas at once led. There
upon the ground vas a rooster which
had been unfortunate enough to break
its leg-or shall | say limbi Amid
hardly suppressed CYCLES, he was in
formed that here was the patient.
Comprehending the situation in an in
slant, the doctor gravely and expe-
ditiously set the broken member of
Chanticleer, putting it in a plaster
baudage with all the care usually
vouchsafed to humanity, and for once
a fowl with a broken leg was in luck
instead of in the soup. The young
ladies were greatly pleased over their
adventure, and proclaimed it among
their friends with great gusto, but
when some days later a bill for $25 for
for reducing a fracture was received,
the laugh died away. In vain they
asserted that it was a joke, and that
they were only in fun. The prescrip-
ton writer said he wasn't in fun and
there was no joke in it for him-noth-
ing but the fee, and he proposed to
have that if he had to sue for it. He
got it, and pocketed it with a little
observation on laughing about sun
down instead of in the forenoon

A COLORADO swIsDLER.
Crooked Contractor White was not
'sWhite. in His Dealings.

John White, a Colorado Springs con-
tractor quietly slipped away from hat
burg two weeks G leaving creditors to
the bad to the extent of about $4,000.
The heaviest loser was J. E. Reynolds, a
planning mill man and lumber dealer.
Friends advised Reynolds to send officers
after the swindler, as it was a clear case
of obtaining goods by false ~pretenses,
White having represented that he owned
property. The lumber merchant vas
quite a student of human nature and con-
Guided that instead of trailing the thief
he would keep a weather eye on his
mate. This was a good scheme. Tues
day Mrs. White and a child left the
Springs for Cheyenne. Reynolds was on
the same train. AT Denver he wired
Acting Marshal Ingalls, to meet him at
tbs depot. The officer boarded the train
at the switch east of the city and was
shown Mrs. White and told the story.
The lady met her crooked husband on
Fifteenth street and here the arrest was
made.
White made a clean breast of every
thing and announced his willingness to
return to Colorado at once. He and
Reynolds will leave this morning.
The swindler says he left home with
less than 81, 500 and lost most of it in
Denver gambling houses. He had only
$50 when arrested.

BLIND WHITE DEVIL.
Pen Picture and Sketch of a Great
Politician.
The Superb SightIess Iohn Kelley
of California.
The Man who Rules the Affairs of a
Great City.

A young man with the makeup of a
college boy promenaded on the depot
platform with a sightless friend yesterday
afternoon. The latter was a big, robust,
noble looking fellow with wonderfully
pleasing features and the general air of a
man whose confidence in himself is simply
unlimited. As a blind man he was no
ticed, but as a being of marked individ-
uality he attracted the attention Of all.
His lf-possession was displayed in his
very step and while he linked arms with
his companion it was seemingly evident
that it was not because he needed a guide.
The blind man and his attendant were
Chris Buckley and his private secretary.
Chris Buckley will figure in all histor-
les of the nineteenth century. He is the
great Democratic politician Of the Pacific
coast and his shrewd manipulations are
the envy of workers throughout the
United States. In San Francisco he is
called Boss Buckley and every resident
of hat place admits and even declares
with pride hat Buckley holds the city in
the palm of his hand. His power lies in
ms lntuitive faculty oil reading men and
his great executive ability. His rule is of
iron, his word absolute law and while his
methods are concededly unscrupulous his

Oregon Railway g. Navigation.

The officials OF the Union Pacific are
jubilant over the outcome Of the. annual
election of the Oregon Railway K Navi-
CATION company, held at Portland, Ore,
Monday. For some time past they have
been considerably worked up, owing to
the determination manifested by Henry
Willard and the Northern Pacific element
to obtain control of the line in question.
As the election resulted favorably to the
Union Pacific its officials do moi fear any

A WILD ENGINE.
Runaway Locomotive Crashes Into
a Train.
Two Engines Badly Damaged by
the Collision.
Narrow Escape of Engineer and
Fireman.

An unusual wreck with incidental dis
plays Of bravery, courage and good iudg-
ment was the sensation in local railway
circles yesterday.
The west bound flyer left the depot
with a rush at 2;l5 yesterday morning.
The engines were putting laboriously, for
Sherman hill, with its long, heavy grade,
is a hard climb. Four miles from the
city the headlight of a runaway engine
was sighted. The train locomotives were
brought to a standstill so soon as possible
with the intention OF fleeing from the
wild monster. The runaway, moving
down grade at a terrific rate, was upon
the train Just as the stop was made.
There was a great crash and the collision
which all had so strenuously sought to
avert had occurred. The runaway fairly
mounted the head engine of the train and
the front end OF the second engine was
badly smashed.
Conductor MalIoy dropped" his train
back to the city, leaving Engineers Mai
smith and Kellett with their disabled
charges. The story Of the wreck was
quickly told and a clearing crew ordered
70 the scene. Trainmaster Green had
been called and he set things in motion.
A minute before the wrecking train left
the yard a hand car glided into the yards
and was brought up at the depot. Its
passengers we're Engineer Campbell and
Fireman Tulley of the runaway and the
section foreman at the Junction. Camp
bell was insensible.
The fireman, covered with dust and
bleeding, readily gave an account of the
affair, They were returning to Cheyenne
after assisting a heavy freight train to
Sherman. Their orders were to run to
the Junction and sidetrack for the west
bound passenger train.
At Borie station the engine was moving
at a pretty merry clip and Campbell
threw on the brakes. They did not re-
spond and the machinery was thrown in
back motion. There was a slight explos-
ion and Campbell and his fireman was
Mortified on discovering that the steam
chest was broken and that
gravity alone propelled the loco
motive. Two miles east of Colorado
junction, the engine slowed up a little on
a short level stretch. Here Campbell
ordered Tulley to save himself by jumping.
The fireman ieaped to the ground and sus-
tanned a few slight bruises. A short dis
lance west of the junction Campbell
sighted the passenger train and rightly
concluded that the time to save himself
if possible had arrived. His leap was
disastrous, he being stunned. The sec
ton boss found the injured man and was
endeavoring to restore him to conscious
ness when Fireman Tulley arrived, hav-
ing run after the engine. The pair placed
Campbell on a hand car and brought him
to this city, where he was taken to his
room and placed in care of DR.. Stevens.
He is resting easily and will soon recover.
The wreck was cleared away in six
hours.

CHICAGO went wildly democratic. which
facts suggests the name of Gen. Palmer.
That gentleman made a campaign last
year that left its impression on the coun>
try. His part in it was an exceptional
one because of its Doldness, honesty and
freedom from the usual political deprav>
ity. If Chicago can be carried by the
democrats, Illinois can be carried by the
democrats. and among them Gen. Palmer
Is leader. 1t is within the range of
possibilities that he may be the Democrat
ic candidate for president in the year
892.--Chicago Herald.
The ARGUS endorses the views OF the
Herald. Present indications point to
some western man as the democratic
standard bearer in the next presidential
contest, and who could m ore grandly and
ably bear the brunt of battle than that
staunch old veteran, Gen. Palmer This
state Is likely to be democratic, no matter
whom the nominee, but with an Illinois,
an as the chosen leader, all doubt would
be removed
