Spreading the rails threw No. 81
of the track a short distance south of
Silica station on Thursday morning
last, and caused quite serious wreck.
The train was turning a curve, the
rails spread and the engine Invent
bounding onto the ties running for
about fifty yards, and then down an en-
bankment turning completely over, the
engine landed on its back; the postal,
express and baggage car quickly fol-
lowed: the coaches left the rails but
owing to the fact that they were stop
ped in the cut did not topple over.
Very luckily no one was injured.
There was found on the streets a
couple of days since large envelope
filled with papers and bearing this in
scription: sVallable pappers intrusted
into the care of Mr.. w. S. Bissell, the
the new postmaster ginerel to be
handed to the person whose name is
writ below" We have not examined
the interior, so are unable to say wheth-
er the envelope holds the application
of some aspiring Democrat, or the res
ignation of an offending Republican.
As Democrats are all masters in ORTIZ
ography and Republicans never resign,
both of these surmises may be wrong.
In any event the party to whom the doc
ument belongs may secure the same by
calling at this Office and proving the
his or hers, as the case may
be.
Coming up street last Sunday, we
saw, fronting the sidewalk leading
north and south at Bishops store, a
shade-trees of probably
three years growth, which, if unmo-
Tested, in a year or two more would
have afforded grateful shade during the
heats. But, alas! show us a
shade tree in this town which not had
to contend with half-starved, half |
horses and COWS turned out by
their owners to troop the streets and
forage their living. The trees above |
alluded to will never show spreading |
leaf from opening bud. No; they have |
been denuded of their bark from the |
ground up to as high the long-necked, |
half-starved quadrupeds could reach to |
work destruction. 1t is a shame and a |
scandal to civilization that such things |
should be, and we gently suggest to the |
officers of this town-Mayor, Council |
men, Marshal, and all-that the pur-
pose of our incorporation is getting to |
be as mysterious and far-away to the
ordinary citizen, as are sometimes the |
ways of divine and not-to-be-compre-|
lended Providence. If the town, in |
is official capacity, can't rid the streets
If the animals that infest and befOul |
hem, what can it do, outside of levying |

Last Wednesday evening shortly af-
er dark, as Miss Jennie Albert, daugh-
er of MIR. Jno. Albert, was standing in
ront of Arnoldy's butcher shop on
Main street, waiting for her mother,
Who had gone inside to make pur-
,hase, Andy Cooley, a negro ap-
her and said something
lbout some one wanting to see her in
he alley by Schultz's saloon; the young
ady paid no attention to him and he
started to place his hand on her. She
quickly showed himoff, however, and her
mother appearing from the shop the two
tarted up the street. The negro then
urned back muttering to himself and
aging that he would be heard from
ater. The young lady and her moth
n proceeded up to Mr.. Albert's store,
md shortly after reaching there, the
negro came to the door, showed his
read in and made some remark about
wanting something in there. Mr.. AL
BERT having been informed of what
lad happened down town rushed to the
loor and grabbed Cooley, but he broke
lway and disappeared. Next morn
ng early, the negro called at Mr.. AL
,ert's residence and stated that he was
'orry for his behavior of the night be-
ore, that he was drunk at the time and
'eally did not know what he was doing.
Mr.. Albert gave him no satisfaction
,ut came down town and having al
'eady seen Prosecuting Attorney Jor-
Ian the night before in regard to the
natter, secured a warrant for Cooley's
Irrest; when the officers went to look
or the negro, however, he had taken
right and could not be found. Up to
he present there are no clues as to his
but it is yet hoped that
le will be secured and made to answer
or his offense. The negro is worth
ess fellow but not particularly vicious
lnless drinking; he is very fond of his
ups, however, and has a predisposition
or the s.wine when it is red" There
8 naturally considerable feeling over
