A Johnstown Survivor.

Geo. Houston, a man who claimed to
be a Johnstown survivor, was in Chey-
enne all of Monday with his wife and one
son.
Houston carried a Gag which tested
his strength. but told an interesting story
quite well. In the food he lost property
valued at between SC, and 81, 200 and
five children. He wanted to reach his
wife's relatives in California and declared
that he had been refused assistance by
Governor Beavers committee. A por-
ton of the mans story was verified by
papers in his possession.
All members of the family were persis-
tent and lucky beggars and collected quite
a sum of money on the streets. Houston
INDUCED in several fights in a Fifteenth
street resort and evinced pugilistic ability
of a high order.
As the train left the depot Yesterday
morning a Missourian in the smoker
reeled the inspiring strains of "Old Dan
Tucker from a wheezy violin. Houston
jumped 10 the aisle and did a hoedo xn
that elicited general admiration. He
fought off the trainmen but his wife, who
seemed to be a woman of considerable
force, quoted him with a reminder that
the period Of mourning for their dead
children had not yet expired.

A FIND.
A Suit of Clothing and Package Of
Letters on the Prairie.


Seth and Oscar Sharpless made a queer
find about three miles south of Colorado
Junction Monday, While driving in that
locality they happened upon a bundle of
clothing which included coat. vest, pants.
un~derclothes, shirt and shoes, all in good
order. Near the pile was a package of let
tiers and photographs belonging to james
Conoughy. a railway man from Hastings,
Neb. He has a brother who is agent for
one of the lines operating at that place.
Conoughy was here looking for work a
few weeks ago and no one knows where
he went. From the appearance of the
find it can be easily presumed that Con-
oughy wandered out on the prairie, re-
moved his clothing and continued to wan
der. 1t is not only possible. but highly
probable that the man is dead. There is
ground for this suspicion in the fact that
Conoughy was a hard drinker and fire.
auently INDUCED in protracted sprees.
The Sharplesses have written Con-
oughy's brother Of the strange find.

So Wise.

In making maudlin comment on the
Purney accident a local contemporary
feels constrained to remark that it is a
direct result of the pernicious Practical
lowed train employees by railroad manage
ment of exchangingEposition or swap
ping work Purney was a first class
brakeman but q poor switchman."
This criticism on the management OF
the Wyoming division and especially the
Cheyenne yards is as unjust as ludicrous.
Purney had been 8 switchman two
iionths and his work satisfied Yardmaster
Bierd and Night Master Linderman, else be
would have been promptly DISCHARGED.
"He was as good a switchman as the av-
erage" is an authorized statement of this
| phase of the case. After a member of q
train crew for over a year Purney applied
for a place in the Cheyenne yards, sub.
hitting that he wished to spend more
time with his family. He was given the
first vacancy.

A CARELESS CREW.
A Collision With Only One Train on
a Track.
One Man Was Killed and Two Seri-
ousIY Injured.
Graders Threaten to Lynch the
Careless Crew.

With but a single train on the entire
line of less than eighteen miles the Car
bon Cut off received its first baptism of
blood Monday night. In rushing to the
front the Construction crew, Woodmansee.
of the sixth district. conductor. dropped
two cars of grain or the main line, in the
absence of sidetrackage- Returnina.i in
precisely twenty minutes the construction
train backed into the two cars. One la
borer was killed outright and two others
badly injured. The train was moving
slowly and the damage to the cars was
very slight.
The careless crew disappeared immedi-
ately and its members were not heard
from until yesterday morning, when the
railway officials learned that they had
reached Laramie during the night. For
abandoning the train, if for nothing else,
the men forfeit their positions and will in
all probability be blacklisted over the en-
tire system.
Woodmanse. the engineer. fireman and
brakeman, it is learned here, fed to es-
cape the wrath of the graders. who were
determined to infict summary punishment
for the criminal carelessness. The mem
bers of the crew were pursued quite a
distance by the indignant and excited
graders. Such cries as Hang the muir
derersl'' Lynch theml' Kill theml"
filled the air.
The accident is the sad realization of
a stock railway joke. Of inexperienced
or extraordinarily unlucky men it is fire.
quently said by old-timers that with only
one train on the system they would man
age to have a collision.
1t is unfair to condemn men without at
least according them a hearing, but all
U6ion Pacific men seen by this writer
Yesterday were convinced that the odd ac-
cident was chargeable direct to careless
ness. There is every probability that the
crew will be arrested.

from the most critical. The meeting of

In the balcony scene Miss Mather invests
this cruical test with new pleasures. 1t
is fiawless as given at her hands. In the
potion scene and her tragic death Miss
Mather was probably the strongest. These
were given with a naturalness that was
real enough to send a chill into the audi

carries herself with an easy grace and

applause of the audience.

The splendid French poodle which was
for several years the constant companion
of the late Col. A. T. Bsbbitt, escaped
from a Burlington baggage car near
Omaha a few days ago. Mrs. Rabbit
promptly offered a reward OF s75 for the
recovery of tie animal. The Burlington

and printed and distributed 1000 pic
lures. Detectives located the pet in
Omaha and the officer having the hunt in
charge enlisted 300 newsboys and boot
blacks. These youngsters secured the

resultless. The company will spend $500
