A Slight Wreck.

Some ten or dozen cars OF freight
train bound west jumped the track at
Windsor station, Saturday night, and
the train crew and wrecking crew were
occupied until 8 ocl lock Sunday morn
ing in clearing the track. The cause of
the accident was broken rail. In the
train was 70 ton engine belonging to the
Everett & Monte Cristo road. This mon
ster kept the boys busy for several hours,
as 1t jumped the track along with the
freight cars, and the work OF getting it
back on the rails was tedious and difficult
No. 4, the east bound passenger, was de-
layed at the wreck until 9:3O a. m. yes
terdav. No damage OF any consequence
was done to the freight cars or contents,
and the tram proceeded west as made
up. The cold weather has frozen the
snow and the men find it difficult to
work in overcoats, which are necessary
to keep warm. Sup't McCabe was at the
wreck in person ard remained until the
track was again cleared.

These Hereditary Interlopers-

that the country has a right to make use
Of every constitutional form to hinder
the lords from interference with the
popular will. Who represent the popu-
lar will? Assuredly it's representatives.
II, then, the elected representatives Of
the nation decide In favor of home rule,
the lords are guilty of an act of leze
majestic to the people If they interpose
their veto. What can be more ridicu-
lous than that a few hundred men-some
hereditary Legislators, some Legislators
because they have made huge fortunes by
selling beer or by some similar avoca
.tion-should pretend to know better than
the nation what the nation wants?
The true method to proceed with such
obstructionists is, if they throw out the
home rule bill to bring it in again in an
autumn session and tack it on to the ap-
preparation bill. II this be done home

A Lad who Would Murder For Fun

A lad employed as a pony driver at the
Trowel Moor colliery at Stapleford has
been sentenced to six weeks hard labor
for willfully damaging an endless wire
rope used for the purpose of bringing
tubs of coal mp IN incline. The strands
Of the rope were found to be deliberately
cut in two places, and it was stated that
If the rope had parted the consequence
would probably have been a disastrous
loss of life. AS it was the entire work
of the colliery had to be suspended for
three-quarters Of a day, and it appeared
that to bring about this temporary ces-
sation of work was the sole motive OF
this abominable act. John Botham. in
brief, wanted a holiday, and this was his
mode of attaining that object.-London

while they come and go the old time peg
top, shapely but unembellished, remains,
and its popularity continues to grow
with the years. The boys are spinning
tops now all over the United States.
Even the big young men Of Yale college
have taken to top spinning. But you
don't BEE any fancy tops anywhere. In

scopes, singing tops and humming tops.

and ~aeroplane tops that fit cloudward,
but none of them survives a single season.
The peg top. with OF without a head, is
ever in demand, though. They are spin

barbaric as they used to be In their sports
is had in the disappearance Of the long

LEFT TO HIS FATE
Reported Finding of the CarIir1
Party.
One Member Of the Expedition Un--
able to Keep Up was Abandoned
to Death by Freezing.

By the Associated Press.
MIssoULA, Mont, Nov. 25.-It is an
indeed narrowing, If true, tale that
comes from the little mountain hamlet.
OF Kendrick, Idaho. to the effect that
the Carlin party has been found, more
dead than alive, minus Colgate, the
cook. whose pitiful abandonment was
necessitated in order that the remainder
might be saved.
The Missoulian correspondence is to
the effect that courier arrived at Kend-
rick at o'clockth is morning bearing the
startling announcement that the party
except Colgate, had been found by
Lieut.. Ellett's relief corps on the
middle fork of Clearwater, 130 miles
from any habitation, famished, without
horses or provisions, bare footed, only
the soles of their shoes remaining and
scant of clothing, hemmed in by inter-
nina BILE and inipenetrable snow banks.
After several attempts to escape the
party became resigned to their fate
trusting only to providence for relief.
Another thirty-six hours would have
discovered their frozen remains.
Lieut.. Elliot found the men verging
on insanity, every hope gone. He was
Mortified to learn that Colgate was still
behind owing to inability to keep
up with the party. This necessitates
sending additional searchers for Col
gate though Carlin believes it is to be
too late and that he will not be found
alive. The leaving OF Colgate is said to-
have been the most trying ordeal of the
expedition.
The rescued and rescuers are ex-
pected to arrive at Kendrick on Monday
or Tuesday Of next week, as they are
still long distance from that point and
many hardships will yet have to be en-
countered before their rescue can be
termed complete.
