coach and baggage car were left standing
on the man track while side-tracking the |
freight cars, and the engineer and fireman |

with no trace as to how the accident las of
course it must have beenl occurred There

rights and a cross-beam which support a
pully through which the draw-rope passes.

she lost her footing and fell in. She leaves
a husband, seven children and host of
warm friends to mourn the loss. We are in

Sentinel: Last Sunday evening while Mr..
Wedgewood and his boys were throwing
straw to their cattle, cut of the old Kirk
laud barn, fourteen miles east Of Golden
dale, they discovered large box snugly
stcwed away in the loft and covered up
with the straw. Upon examining the box
it was found to contain a vast quantity OF
some of it old and dirty, and some
of it of extra fine quality, but all greatly
damaged by time and the ravages of rats
aud mice. First came an overcoat; then
dress coat, old but of very fine goods; then
pantaloons, some IF ordinary wooleD, and
some OF extra cashmere; then vests, over
alis, blouses and drawers; fine knit under
shirts by the dozen; two fine white shirts
that had never been worn since they were
collars and cuffs, besides several
other garments which do not remember.
In all there was at least an ordinary wagon
bed full. The question is how dad they
come there! They were undoubtedly put
there by some person, but by whom, when,
and why deponent sayeth not.
