The tramp who fell between two cars
and wrecked Northern Pacific freight
train az Hangman's creek, Sunday
morning, was Gustav Hahndorf, for
merry oil Cle-elum. Conductor Bro
haska testified that Hahndorf came
10 him just before the train started
and asked for ride, saying that he
had not money enough to pay full fare.
Brohaska refused to take him. Brake
man McCauley testified to the same
effect. Brohaska gave 1t as his opin-
ion that Hahndorff sneaked out the
other side of the train, got on top Of
the car and wrapped himself in the
blankets which he carried Finding it
too cold. he tried to get down on the
fiat car and fell between the cars. The
Hanginan's creek trestle was OF wood,
being the second highest on the road,
and had long been considered unsafe.
The wooden bridge three miles beyond
the trestle was condemned long ago
but the company has not rebuilt or
strengthened il. Railroad men say
they fear every time they cross it that
1t win give way like the trestle. the
timbers OF which were rotten.

NAGLE'S RECORD.

His Reputation that OF One of the Nerv.
lest and Most Fearless Men on the Pa
cific Slope whom Bad Men Have No
License to Trifle with-No Man Ever
Got the Drop on Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Is. Deputy
United States Marshal Dave Maggie, the
man who shot Terry, is noted on this
coast for his nerve and skill in the use of
revolvers. He was bred in Californi a,
but in the 70s, when Tombs tone first came
into prominence, he went there and made
money in mining contracts. The town
was overrun with a tough gang, but
after several had jumped on Maggie
and had been shot, they gave
him a wide berth. He went to
Panamint, New, when the mining boom
broke out, and contributed several men
to the graveyard. He returned to Tomb
stone in 1881 and was elected marshal.
He established his reputation by killing
Mexican desperate in one of the liveliest
toughs out, but several of them got killed
in the process. 1t was notorious
no man ever got the drop on Maggie,
and he never shot except to kill.
Nagle came here about five years ago,
and got several positions in the public
serTice; lately he was appointed deputy
United States marshal, and when Mar
shall Franks got telegram from Attor.
ney-General Miller to appoint a guard
for Field he chose Maggie because Of his
GOODNESS and great skill with a revolver.
The Califor code defines Nagle's act
as justifiable homicide, as he was acting
as Fields servant at the time Of assault.

SMOKELESS POWDER.

The Experiments with Smokeless Powde,
In Europe Being Watched with Keen
Interest by Military Men-Obscrved by
Two Emperors at Spandau.
LONDON, Avg. 16.-Military men are
watching with keen interest the expert
ments on the Continent with the new
smokeless powder. So far nothing, ex-
cept its higher cost, has been brought
forward against it to counterbalance the
very evidenG advantages which will re-
euvers Wednesday both Emperors
watched with great interest the shooting
from the side using this smokeless pow
der, and noted with much satisfaction that
on that side the movements of the troops,
not being hampered by the dense volume
of smoke which hung over the opposing
army, were characterized by much greater
precision and freedom of action. It is
not strictly correct to speak of this new
powder as smokeless, for there certainly
is som e smoke, but it is very light
and at Spandau. after the firing had con-
tinued for an hour or more. at distance
OF three hundred yards from the troops
using this powder, no smoke whatever
could be seen, although nearer APP
proach dis closed light, steam-li va
por. What was perhaps quite as notice.
able feature was the absence to great
extent OF the deafening noice to which we
are accustomed from the explosion of
firearms 1t was calculated that the re-
port OF a given volume of smokeless
powder is just half as loud as with the
same volume of ordinary powder.
