Runaway.

Last Thursday afternoon J. H.
Hepworth hired a horse and cart of
Geo. Barton to drive to New Jeru-
salem. When he arrived there he
tied the horse to a fence,
and when ready to come home
found the horse had pulled its bri-
die off. While he was trying to put
it on the horse jerked away from
him and ran away, going through
two wire fences and a number of
bitches on D. P. Randall's ranch.
The horse finally struck the road
and came home running through
the barn and into the back corral.
The harness was completely
wrecked and one shaft was broken
on the cart. Mr.. Hepworth was
knocked down by the cart when
the horse got away from him and
had his leg somewhat hurt.

Crane your.neck slightly and look
to the west; see in the sky of that
beautiful land a speck of a cloud
as large as your hand. Watch it
now, Grover, and don't look SO wise;
see how it grows in momentum and

word from your mouth, but is
spreading all over the west and the

Joe Downey brought a man
named John Norton in from Mason
Valley Tuesday evening to serve
sixty days in the county Jail. He
was sentenced by Justice Dyer for
selling whisky to Indians. This is
the second case of the kind from
the Switch inside of month. 1t
behooves the people of the valley
to be pretty strict with the Piutes,
as at this season they are quite nu-
merous there, outnumhering the

Flying Jib viii Lower the Record.

The celebrated PAGER Flying Jib
paced a mile over the Saginaw track
on Saturday in the very fast time of
2:054. This is the fastest mile ever
made this early in the year, and only
three faster miles have ever been
made by a trotter or PAGER. Mascot
holds the pacing record with a mark
of 2:04. Nancy Hanks has trot-
ting record of 2:04, and Hal Pointer
has paced a mile in 2;O44. The
five fastest PAGERS are now as follows:
Mascot 2:04, Hal Pointer 2;043,
Flying Jib 2:054, Direct 2:054, Sal
adm 2:O5a. California has thus
produced three out of the five fast
est si1e-wheelers in the world.

A Train Loaded with Passengers Falls
rom n 35-foot BRIDGE One Man Killed.
The north bound Chicago express on
the Lake Erie 81 Western railroad was
badly wrecked about one mile south of
Peru, Ind. Among the Is passengers
on board the train not one escaped in
jury. The entire train, consisting of
engine, smoking, express and chair
cars, was precipitated on to the ice in
the Wabash river, IS feet below. A
broken rail about 100 feet from the
river bank threw the train from the
track, and it continued on the ties un-
til reaching the bridge, when the first
two tiers gave way, and the entire
train went down. The engine stood
upright, and the cars covered it with
their wreckage.
The fireman jumped, Engineer
Griffin was pinned in the cab and
taken out severely scalded. The
wreck took fire and was burned com
pletely. The cars were smashed to
spinters. Brakeman Richard Neff
was badly hurt, but managed to ex-
tricate himself from the wreck. He
lighted lantern and ran back and
tagged a freight which was following.
II was stopped only about 100 feet
from the wreck and another smashup
was averted.
1t Is miraculous no more were killed
as the cars were hurled over stones and
not splinter of wood was saved from
the fire.

TWENTY WE'RE Killed.
AFAST TRAIN PLUNOEs INTO A
TRAIN OF OIL TANKS.
twenty Persons are Burned to Death
I'm Blazing Oll.-Othor News.

A wreck which, in its consequences,
is one of the most appalling and disas-
trous that has occurred in years, occur
red at Wann Junction, or Alton juno
ton, ILL.,, few miles northeast of st.
Louis, No. The Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Columbus & st Louis, Southwestern
Limited" passenger train, consisting
of an engine and four coaches, going
east ran into a switch half a mile north
of Wann junction and crashed into n
train consisting of seven tank ears
standing there. The result was fire
and afterward an explosion, which IL
persons their lives, fatally injured
eigh: or ten more, while fully so others
suffered painful burns.
At the junction there are several
switches and on one of them the train
of oil tanks had been run to allow the
"limited, (which was late, the right of
way. The switch had been left open
and when the fast train, running 40
miles an hour, came laundering on it
crashed into the tank cars. The en-
gineer of the passenger saw the danger,
shouted to his fireman, reversed the
engine, pulled on the air brakes and
both jumped-a second too late, for the
engineer was killed and the fireman
seriously injured. The crash was
somewhat diminished by the en-
gineer's thoughtfulpess aud bravery
and not passenger was seriously
injured.
The first four tanks of oil were burst
by the collision and the train was soon
ablaze. Large crowds surrounded the
wreck 10 watch the work of the fire
demon when an explosion of awful
propensities shook the earth. The re-
naming tanks had exploded with ter
rife force and the scene which followed
was terrible in the extreme. Pieces of
their iron sides were thrown far out
into the adjacent fields and showering
upon the assembled crowd of sight
seers mass of flaming liquid. For
just one second after the noise of the
explosion there was no sound save the
swish of the seething oil as it forced
through the air. Then there arose a
confusion of agonizing appeals for help
and cries of terror TO which no tongue
nor pen can do justice. For several
minutes the panic was indescribable.
Those touched by the burning oil
grouped about wildly, seeking in vain
for relief from their tortue. Almost
without exception the injured were
burned about the face, and had their
eyesight temporarily IL not perman-
emily destroyed.
Gradually the horror of the holo-
caust gave way to RELAXATION of the
necessity for quick relief for the
wounded and willing hands tenderedly
carried the dead and injured to Wann,
where they were placed in the depot
and taken to Alton. When "a list of the
dead and wounded was taken IL souls
had left their clay and - more were
lowering between life and death while
at least so were seriously burned.
