SAM WALLIS FEAT.
Clever Work Of a Well Known Pu-
get Sounder.

He Breaks Up Nest of Green Goods
SwindIers i'm New Work by a.
CIeverIy Arranged scheme and
Lands One im Sail.
Sam Wall, formerly city editor Of the Ia
coma Ledger, Olympia legislative cores
pondent, globe trotter along with George
Francis Train, and publisher Of a very in
teresting book, has just performed a neat
piece of detective newspaper work in Bos-
ton and New York which occupies several
columns in the newspapers of those two
cities. Briefly told, Wall is on the editor
ial staff of the Boston Post. One Of the
printers on that newspaper received a cir
cular from 'green goods dealer in New
York and handed it to Wall The latter
commenced correspondence with the
swindlers under the printers name, went
to New York, arranged all the preliminaries
by pretending to be very green himself,
bought $4,000 of the supposed counterfeit
greenbacks for $500, paid for them in good
money which was marked beforehand and
after the swindler had the money in his
pocket he was at a given signal handed
over to the detectives The whole thing
was admirably and cody arranged and
carried out by Wall. The last part of the
history OF the transaction has dramatic
tinge and is as follows
We returned in the wash room of the sa-
loon. I took his receipt and handed him
the money. He tucked it into his vest
pocket saying, If you viii wait here now
a little while I will come back and show
you the town"
every we'll, Z said, and as / passed into
the saloon I raised my hat, the prear-
ranged signal, and the detectives grasped
and put bracelets on him so quick he did
not know what had happened
Without word he accompanied the
officers before the commissioners, and was
committep in default of $2500 bail.
Mr.. Wall, who recently published an in
teresting book on "Around the World il
go days with Train" is residing Temporal
rily in Boston, where his book is being
published. He will probably return to
the Puget Sound country this fall.

Negro outrage in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, April 29.-A telephone from
Goodletsyille, says that four negroes were
lynched there and two others shot. The

Ia years. The negroes entered the house
and forced them to submit to their desires
with drawn reYoIvers. Great excitement
prevails. 1t is thought the mob is not

Terrible Smash-Up Of a Train in

MANY Narrow Escapes of the Crew
ana Passengers The Dastardly
Work OF Train wreckers for the
Purpose Of Robbery,
MYRTLE CREEK STATION, Ogn., April 20
The north bound California express was
wrecked mile north Of here this morning.
The wreck was the work of train wreckers.
Two ties were placed crosswise on the
track and the engine and mail and express
cars were ditched. Engineer Morris
jumped and was cut and bruised about the
head. Otherwise he was uninjured. Fire
man George GolIing was caught between
the tender and tank. His legs were broken
in two places and severely scalded. Five
tranlps were between the express and mail
cars, and one was caught tand badly injured.
The accident was fortunate from the fact
that no one was killed. The engine lies on.
the right side of the track and the tender
is jammed into the cab. The mail car is
partly on the engine, and one side entirely
torn away. The postal clerk escaped un-
hurt by miracle. He was in the back end
of the car tying up the Roseburg mail
Express Messenger Applegate was stand
ing before the desk when the crash came,
and seized the rods over his head and
swung himself off the floor. The freight

The train fell toward the bank. There is a
steep bank sloping to the river. If the
train had gone over the bank the loss of
life would have been fearful. Wrecking
trains are at hand and the wreck is being
cleared away. The track is torn up badly
for two hundred feet. No clue to the per-
petrators. Robbery is supposed to have
been the object.
