A BEAR ON THE c0wcA1cHER.
He Provides an Exciting Hunt, But DeIaya
the Train.

OLcuT RuN. Pa, Nov. 22.-On Wednesday
afternoon. rs the Warren accommodation train
on the Eldred and Southeast Branch Railroad
was passing through Wilder's Cut. deep and
narrow passage through the rocks ten miles
east Of this station. Engineer Dan Elwood saw
q bear como into the cut at the western end.
only twenty yards away. The bear appeared
suddenly around the edge OF the rocks. and
stopped on the track facing the engine. 1t
seemed to be paralSZed OF the sight OF the To-
comotive rushing toward It, and he stood mo-
tionless until the engine was almost upon 1t.
when 1t arose on Its hind feet. The train was
running at the rate OF fifteen miles an hour.
Instantly on seeing the bear on tho track tho
engineer shut down steam but tho distance
was too short for the speed Of the train to be
reduced much. and the pilot plouRhed its way
under the bear, the sharp point passing be-
tween the animals widespread legs
Elwood turned on full force Of steam and
the fireman climbed out Of the cab window and
ran along the guard rail to tho front OF the en-
gine for peep at old brnin. He was then lying
on his belly on the cowcstcher. his head almost
touching the headlight. Both hind feet were
firmly planted between the lower bars OF the
pilot, ono on each side Of the tip. and his fore

GUN CLUB PRACTICE.
They Are Ont for the First Time This
Season.

The first shooting practice of the
Roanoke Gun Club took place upon
the ground near Melrose Park yester-
day afternoon at four o'clock. The
following are the scores of those who
shot at twenty-five birds: Frank Cofr-
man, ID; M. II. G.. Jordan, II; Mr..
Snyder, 10; II H. Greider, 16; r. FL.
Woodrum, 0; w. f. Winch, 5; B. L..
Greider, 70; W. S. Pole, 70; R. H..
Woodrum, jr., 10. After the practice
meeting of the club was called to
order by the president, DR.. John b.
Norman, and the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: NJ.
G.. II. Jordan, president; Mr.. Snyder,
field captain and II. II. Greider, secre-
tary and treasurer. r. II. Woodrum,
ir., was elected member of the club.
The treasury was instructed to collect
last years dues and make new assess
ment. There being no further bust
ness the meeting adjourned until next
Monday afternoon Mt four o'clock for
another club practice. Some OF the
members are endeavoring to get a
team in shape for the match to take
place in Lynchburg on July 4th, and
we don't see why Roanoke can't give
Lynchburg or any other city in Vir-
ginia pretty hard test, as there Is
plenty of good material here to do it.

WEST OF GROVE STREET.
The Beautiful Residence Section of
the city Building Up.

A TIMES reporter yesterday took Il
drive over the West End portion OF
Roanoke, and to say that he was
surprised at the developments made
there in the last few weeks would but
feeblv express it. Buildings are going
up on all sides, and from the main
boulevard scores were counted that
will soon be completed.
Everything is combined to make
this section of the city one of the
most attractive, and the people are
fast showing their faith in its future
by investing heavily.
From a hill overlooking the furnace
the view is grand. To the east lies
the city proper, and still further on
can be seen the Grocer Steel and Iron
Works, another industry in the East
End. and this, together with the Blue
Ridge mountains as a back ground,
forms one of the prettiest pictures
Imaginable. Then, too, the Roanoke
river runs through the property on
the South, and lends still greater
beauty to the scene. Taken altogether,
no finer view can be obtained in the
Southwest.
Many improvements are lio" SolnS
on out there, such as laying water
and gas pipes and new streets. Sew
eral forces of men are at work laying
off streets and grading those already
laid off. More work of this kind has
been done in the West End lately
than in any other addition of the city,
and the work still continues. The
water and gas companies also have
men at work extending their mains,
and:the whole section will be lighted
with gas.
One of the great conveniences is the
street car line. The Roanoke street
railway have extended their line west
from Grove street and now it extends
the entire length of the property
making q residence there very deslra-
BILE, as one is placed in direct commu-

Yesterday was the fiftieth annlyer-
sary of the founding of Adams En-
press company and the delivery
wagons and the office were gaily deco
rated with bunting in honor OF the
occasion. The originator of the en-
terprise was Alvin Adams who started
out at first with only Il wheelbarrow
for delivering the goods. From this
small acorn, a. it were, it has grown
the enormous oaks and now the
Adams Express company covers

livery wagon and only one person
was in the Office besides Mr.. Miller.

Mr.. Robert A. Buckner was APP

THE C0RONER'S USUAL VERDICT.
brakeman Swartz was Sober Young
Man. Only Three Weeks Married.
Rut he WAS Careless. As too Many
Young People Are.

One of the most shocking railroad
accidents that ever occurred in Lynch
burg happened on Sunday night
about 1890 o'clock on the east end OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio yards, near
the end of the trestle, when ayoung
white brakeman named Il. II. Swarts,
was horribly lnangled.
His head was severed from his body
and rolled from the trestle down the
embankment to the edge of the river,
where it was found by those who dis
covered the body. His right arm was
cut off ut the shoulder, and the body
otherwise mangled. The dead mans
lantern was found near him, shattered
iuto fragments.
Freight train No Is, east-bound, on
which Swartz was n brakeman, lett
the depot at 1927 o'clock last night.
When it arrived ut the east end OF the
trestle it was compelled to come TO II
sudden stop to await the passing OF a
Norfolk and Western train, and at
1880 it pulled out on its way to Rich
inond. A few minutes after its de-
blfIuTe, the SdIu ciiSiilo, WIZ ~
car. started from near the same point
to go TO the depot In crossing the
trestle one Of the switchmen, who was
riding in front on the coal car, thought
He saw II man on the track and
waved the engineer TO stop. Inc
engine was brought to a stan1-stiii,
and Conductor EadS and the two
switchmen went back and found the
body with the head and one arm sew
cred from the trunk. The matter
was reported TO Mr.. Taylor, night
ward master, and he went down ana
had the body removed from the track
and placed on pile of ties near by,
where it remained until the inquest
this morning.
At S:15 o'clock Coroner Busey had
constable Callahan summon jury
inquest. who, after reviewing the
body, repaired to the waiting room oil
the Chesapeake and Ohio depot,
where the evidence Of witnesses was
heard.
1t was impossible from the evidence
10 tell how the young man came TO
his death, and the coroners jury
brought in verdict in accordance
with the facts. Mr.. Swartz was
married about three weeks ago. His
body was taken to Clifton Forge
where his family resides.
