Train.
There's fat wheel on this truck
under this end of the car" said an Erie
official who sat in the back seat of the
rear car of n passenger train. That
must be taken out 1t might wreck the
train"
whats q fat wheel?" asked the
scribe.
Listen" said the railroad man.
"You hear that rapid pat-pat-pat Of the
wheel? That's caused by the fat
wheel On spot on the surface Of the
wheel a fat place is worn. 1t may be
done. and is generally, by setting up .
brake so tight that the wheel slips on
the rail Let it slip, but the least, yet
. small place no longer than . silver
dollar will be worn on the wheel. The
next time the brake is set up hard the
wheel stops with that same place on the
rail, and il is worn larger.
by the time it is n couple ofinchcs In
diameter it begins to pound every time
the wheel turns. Instead of running a
true circle as it revoives, the wheel
strikes fat on the rail when the fat
spot is reached. The consequence is
that when the fat spot has grown to be
three or four inches across it is q very
dangerous thing. Every stroke against
the rail by the fat side Of the wheel is
liable to break the wheel and ditch the
train"
Around the shops and at nearly every
cripple track in the railroad world,
says the Bradford Pa-) Era, these fat
wheels may be seen. AS soon as one Is
discovered the pair of wheels affected
is taken out and sent to the junk track
to be cast into new machinery. The
fat spots are plainly perceptible, but
they would hardly be judged by the
upinitiated to be of sufficient impor-
tance to be one of the most dangerous
elements of railroading, yet such is the
mm0A.

A SKELETON IN A TREE.
Htrange Discovery Made by Some wood
choppers In the Indian Territory.

choppers IN the lnd13n Torfstofys
A. strange discovery was. made by
some woodcho ppers who were working
in the hills west of Tushomingo, /. T..
a few weeks ago. They have brought
to that town a skeleton and the section
of a tree to bear evidence of the truth
fulness of their story.
They cut down large oak tree which
was partly hollow, but the entrance to
the hollow portion had almost entirely
grown over, leaving only narrow slit
in the outside of the tree. When the
tree fell to the ground it was split open
by the shock, and there lying in the
center of the broken wood was the
skeleton of man.
On one ankle of the skeleton was a
band of iron attached to a piece of
chain. evidently from the manacles
which had been upon his person when
he sought refuge in the hollow tree.
From all indications the skeleton had
been entombed for At least hundred
years, for the tree had grown sufficient
ly to almost cover the opening through
which he had crawled to hide.
Two of the ribs were broken in such
a manner as TO lead to the belief that
it was done with bullet The suppo-
sition is that the man had escaped from
some prison and had hcd with portion
of his naracles; and, being shot and
hard pressed. had sought refuge in the
tree, and there died As there is no
record kept of the past criminal history
of the nation, his identity will ever re-
main q mystery.
One popularity about the skeleton is
that the tree had grown partly around
one of the legs, and it was solidly in
cased in the wood. This specimen is
now on exhibition at the court house at
Tushosniuco

TRAGEDY IN COLORADO.
Lew Winters Shot Down by A. c. Hick-

Lew Winters Shot Down by A. c. Hick-
man-Result of Gambling Raid.
DENVER, Feb. IA startling tragedy
occurred at La Junta, Colo, yester-
day, IN which Lew Winters was shot
and instantly killed by A. c. Hickman.
The tragedy grew out of raid on a
gambling den last Thursday night,
which subsequent events have proven
was being run by Ed and Lew Winters.
When the place was raided by
the police, under the lead
ership of City Marshal Lewis, the
two Winters boys were placed under
arrest and finally heavily fined. They
imputed their arrest to Hickman and
swore information against the latter
and two others for participating in the
gambling. 1t is alleged that both the
Winters boys sent Hickman word that
they intended to kill him on sight.
Frieay evening Hickman and both the
boys met on the street and few an
cry words ended in resort to six
shooters. Both the Winters fired
simultaneously, missing Hickman,
but filling his face full of pow
der, almost binding him. The shots
were returned, but without the effect.
The participants were promptly placed
under arrest, but were released on
bonds. Yesterday morning Hickman
started for barber slOp, taking his
Winchester. As he entered the door
Lew Waters, who was in the shop,
started for the bathroom, at the same
time pulling his gun. Hickman i'm
mediately raised his Winchester and
fired and Winters fell. Hickman IS
still at large.
