Rival Towns at War In the WlIds OF
Colorado.

DENVER, Col, September pa special
from Lamar, Col, says; Word has been
received here Of serious trouble between
the towns of Boston Springfield In Baca
county. Since Baca county was formed by
the last general assembly. there has been
strife between the two towns as to which
should have the seat. The act organizing
the county provided that Springfield should
be the county seat. AT the election held last
fall it Is alleged that, by manipulation Of
ballots. 1t was made the permanent county
seat. The only available building for a
court house was the hotel building in Bos-
ton. A few weeks ago this was sold at a
sherif's sale and bought by the Springfield
people. Saturday night a party left Spring
field for Boston with machinery, intending
to move the building TO the former town for
der the building, which Is the finest In the
county and three stories high. Twenty
teams were hitched to It, Inside the house
were stationed II men with rifles. The
building was about five miles toward Spring
field, which Is about % miles from Boston,
when the people Of the latter place dlseov-
cred the trick, and pursuit was made. Upon
overtaking the Sprin gfeld party, they COM
manded a halt which was answered by a
yolley Of shots from the men In the building.
The Boston crowd fired and fierce battle
ragged. 1t ended In the Springfield c0ntin-
gent being driven from the building and
the building set on fire and
entirely consumed. Owing to the
isolation Of the town news Is hard TO obtain.

How Farmer NOVEL; Of Topsham
Parted With $4,000.

BATH, September 25.-The Bath Times
prints the following; 1t was one day, q
week or more ago, that well dressed and
business-like looking gentleman, called at
the farm of Mr.. NOVEL;, In Topsham. and
wished to look over the farm, as he wanted
to purchase 1t for one Of his relatives, who
had children. He represented himself as
"Hon. Arthur Sewall, of Bath" the promi-
nent shipbuilder and railroad magnate. Mr.
NOVEL; did not know him, except by reputa-
tion. He said that he wanted 1t for bis
nephews. After walk over the farm he
expressed himself as pleased with u. The
only trouble was its size; it was hardly large
enough, but 1t was arranged to purchase the
adjoining farm. Everything appeared satis-
factory and the bargain was as good as made
While preparing to leave. the stranger said
he was little short Of ready money and de-
sired small loan. and would give security
on some vessel property. All he wanted was
three thousand dollars.
Mr.. NOVEL; did not have that sum at home,
but said he had bank account In Lewiston,
and he bltched up his horse and they drove
to Lewiston and the money was drawn from
the bank. While returning he turned over
the money to the supposed Mr.. Sewall. He
did not receive a scrap OF paper In return.
While mile or two this side OF Lisbon
Falls, they met a man In the road walking
toward Lisbon Falls. He was In a great hur-
ry and said he must get to the station in time
to catch the train for Lewiston. The gentle
man with the 5000 In his pocket happened
to remember that he wanted to be in Bruins
wick for the next train. The walking gen.
tleman was very anxious money was no OBJ
ject to him. IL he could only be in time for
the train, and finally it was agreed that the
supposed Mr.. Sewall should return to Lisbon

OFF THE IRON.
A Maine Central Train Narrowly Es-
capes Bad Accident.

LEWISTON, September 25.-The Bar Har-
Dor Express, due in Lewiston at 1904, ran off
the track as il left the bridge coming into
this city. The engine, tender and one car
were smashed. The engineer and fireman
clung to the machine as 1t plowed along fifty
feet. Most of the train remained on the
track and no one was injured though the
passengers were considerably shaken up.
The train was delayed about two hours. An
engine from the AuGurn side pulled the cars
onto the track again, and the unin1qred part
of the train proceeded. The accident oc-
CURED on switch at the Lewiston end OF
the bridge.
The cause of the accident is generally ac-
credited to bolt that Is supposed to have
dropped from passing west bound freight
train and to have fallen in between the two
rails where they met at the switch. Mr..
Benson, station agent at the upper Maine
Central and some others who have seen ii
think that the bolt was piece of brake
rod. 1t is thought that the brake
rod Of the west bound freight that
passed along a few hours earlier in the
opposite direction was hanging, and that 1t
drak ged along until 1t caught in the narrow
ing angle where the main track and the side
track meet at the switch, and that here 1t
was pinched, broken and held between the
rails. No other train passed until this east
ment and so narrowly escaped great catas-
trophe The engineer Of the train was Lon
Towle, and the conductor Is Henry Whitney.
Engineer Towle says that the switch showed
all right, and probably was very nearly as it
should be, but the "very little" which 1t was
forced by the disastrous bolt prying open the
rails was enough to throw one of the loco
motive wheels on the side track
and cause all the damage. Twenty
feet from the switch, on the
north side is shown where the wheels on
the north side of the engine left the iron and
began plunging on over the sleepers carrying
the baggage car and the vestibule which
follow the baggage car out on the side track
and landing the engine deep in the sand be-
tween the rails, its tender up in air and its
nose pretty we'll dug into the dirt. Follow
ing this sudden stoppage the wonder only is
how SO little damage resulted. The baggage
car is badly damaged in its running-gear
but is not much damaged bydily-the front
platform being made into kindling wood and
a few splinters to be seen in the general
physiognomy but it will run years to come.
