AN ELECTRIC RUNS AWAY.
Excitement in Saltwater Over an Elec-
trio Car Accident.
WOMAN KNOCKED SENSELESS
Saltwater Hen Sell MINING Property
in Montana for $780,
900.


At 7:30 o'clock. as Electric Car No. L.
of the South hill line. came over the
Third street SUBMITS, on its descent it
got beyond the drivers control, and
when three-quarters of the way down
several passengers jumped off. Mrs.
r. S. Davis, wife of the cashier of the
Lumbermen'S bank, struck upon her
head and was supposed at first to have
been killed. but revived soon after being
taken home. Her injuries are not Seri-
Gus. The car kept the track until
reaching the Chestnut street turn at the
foot of the hill. when 1t went straight
ahead and stopped upright within fif-
teen feet. The driver is an old and
careful hand. called "Dutchey," who
was brought from Davenport by the
company. He saws he put the brake on
tight at the top of the hill. 1t is thought
possible that in attempting to reverse at
the top of the hill he accidently in
creased the current. but there might
have been a kink in the brake chain.
The sale by Jacob Bean, John G.
Nelson and the HerseyS of their Mon-
tana silver mining property or pros
pect to English capitalists for the
round sum of $250,0O0, was re-
ported yesterday, and Mr.. Bean.
upon being questioned by GLOBE re-
porter. said that he did not wish the re-
port to go as fully confirmed by him.
Negotiations had been pending in the
matter, and possibly the sale was prac-
ticall effected a; reported. though he
n a
was yet made. Mr.. Nelson said that
the transfer at the figure named was
very likely to be made. If it was not al
ready cOnsummated, but for the pres
ent you had better let it go as a re-
port merely" The property in ques-
ton was acquired by these gentlemen
about a year ago for the sum of $l4, 900,
and the sale now to English parties
was made by Mr.. Schoenberg, who,
on his latest trip to England recently,
was commissioned by the owners to sell
the mine if any adequate price was Of
fered. MI. Schoenberg returned to
Saltwater a few days ago, and re-
ported the result of his negotiations, his
act as agent being confirmed by the
Saltwater owners of the property.
