GIRLS SAVED THE TRAIN.
Presence of Mind and a Good Run Pre-
vented the Loss Of Many LIves.

Presence of Mind and a Good Run Pre-
vented the Loss of Many Lives.
There are two young girls now in st.
Paul who are deserving of honorable
mention for a recent prompt and heroic
act of theirs which resulted in saving a
passenger train from wreck with the
probable loss of human life. The two
girls are Lizzie Barron, of this city, and
Carrie Butcher, who lives ear Shakopee.
The former was visiting her friend at
Shakopee not long since, and it was dur
ing this visit hat the act of bravery was
performed.
The girls were on day taking a stroll,
and about four miles east of Shakopee
they came to the track of the Hasting.
and Dakota division of the Milwaukee
railroad, along which they started to
walk. They had not proceeded far when
they discovered that the beams OF a
wooden culvert had caught fire and al.
most entirely burned away. There was
nothing left but a shell, which would
scarcely bear up under the weight Of a
hand car, but a few rods away nothing
amiss could be detected, as the rails were
still in their proper positions.
AT the time of the discovery 1t was
just about time for the express % pass,
and the situation at once flashed upon
the minds Of the two girls. Instead OF
becoming panic stricken and running
away to find help, which, they realized,
would probably come too late, they
rushed down the track toward the ap-
preaching train, the roar of which could
already be heard in the distance. They
had not proceeded far when the train
dashed around a curve at full speed not
far away, and with a shrek Of the whis.
tie rushed toward them.
Older persons than they might well
have quailed before the approaching
monster and sought personal safety in
flight, forgetful of the danger of which
they would warn the engineer. But
their hearts never faltered and they re-
manned standing upon the track, swing
ing their bonnets and ~gesticulatine
wildly. Soon another shrek from the
engine told them that their signals were
comprehended by the engineer, and they
stepped aside, while the train rushed by
them with the sparks of fire flying from
the wheels as they were gripped by the
steel shoes of the airbrakes.
The train was brought to a standstill
before the ruined culvert was reached,
and the girls modestly received the
thanks of the passengers and trainmen
for their prompt action in averting a SO.
wreck.

of the facts in the case the gem.

reward the two girls, which has just

THE WALKER EXAMINATION,
j. d. Walker ;Committed to tho Care
ofhis Guardians.

Thr adjourned examination of J. D.
Walker as to his sanity took place yester.
day afternoon, having been postponed to
decide whether or not the Pima probate
court had jurisdiction over the case, the
Pinal county court having pronounced
him incompetent.
The court decided that it had juris-
diction and adjourned until today at 10,
for The report OF physicians as to the
mental souddness Of Judge Walker.
This morning court met and Doctors
Spencer and Handy testified as to the
question Of Judge Walkers sanity.
DR.. Handy testified in his opinion J.
ID. Walker is and has been insane, sup
erlnduced to some extent by the heat;
also or excitement under which he has
been OF late. He did not regard him as
dangerous TO himself or others when
under moderate surveillance.
DR.. Spencer believes him TO be insane
and that he is an Incompetent person. /;
at large at times, he might become dan
gerous. but not under surveillance. Re-
gardIng the permaheEcy of the insanity
of the patient he said that the history
OF such cases shows them to be progress
sive, until the patient becomes less and
less capable OF helping himself, even re-
quiring to be fed in instances.
At ll:30 Judge Woods handed down
his decision. Judge d. Walker is ad
Judged insane, and having guardians
already appointed for the care OF his
person he was ordered under the care of
Lucien E. and VIM. Walker, and DR.. j.
G. Handy, his estate being ample for
tie defraying of his expenses. Tie de
cision also stated that the result of his
committal TO the Phenix asylum through
the heated term would be disastrous TO
the patient. His guardians were
therefore ordered to take him to Cali
fornIa if deemed necessary.

Details Of the Encampment OF the

GATHERING MAMMA.
Rev the Various Kinds Are Produced
Different CouRtyiss.


Different CouRtriss.
The mamma Of commerce comes
chiefly from Sicily. It is a sweet sub.
stance, obtained from a small tree
which is known as the mamma ash. This
tree can be grown as far north as Eng
land, but in that country it yields no
mamma and is cultivated for ornament
only. The mamma is formed from the
sap. The trees are ready 10 be tapped
at the age OF eight years, when the
stems have . diameter of about three
inches The tapping is done by mak-
ing cuts through the bark to the wood,
the missions being one or two inches
long and about an inch apart.
The first cut is made ut the lower
part of the trunk. The next day an
other cut is made just above the first,
and so on, day after day, during the
dry season. The next year the un-
touched part of the stem is operated
upon in the same way, and the practice
is continued in successive years till the
tree is exhausted.
The finest mamma is that which is In
crusted around pieces of sticks or
straws placed in the incisionS Flake
mama is that which has hardened on
the trunk. The inferior quality is
from the lower incision. After its re-
moyal from the tree the mama Id dried

There are other plants that yield a
similar product. The tanarislr of Ara
bia exudes from its branches : sub

the morning. This is known as tama-
risk honey. The emulation is assisted
by the puncture of small insect. 1t
is said that this honey is described by
native writer's IS "a dew which falls
upon the leaves Of the tamarisk and
other trees.
The Persians gather a sort of mama
from q .leguminous plant by cshak-
ing its branches, or by picking the
leaves and gently beating them over o
cloth when dry. Throughout Persia
and Afghanistan naturally produced

TO their puncturing OF the leaves, and
