CLEARING WRECKS,
No Time Is Lost in Trying to Save

No Time Is Lost in Trying to Save
Cars.
Philadelphia Times.
In railroad life many incidents are ac-
cidents. When man is hurt ON rail
road we know pretty we'll what is done
to the sufferer. All of US understand
more or less thoroughly how bones are
set and cuts are sewed up. But unless
we are railroad men we have no very
clear idea as to the method of operating
OIL wrecked train. And few of us
know what dead engine"ls, although
we may easily guess.
1t is an interesting sight to sec a
wreck handled by experienced men,
especially if you are anything of a
practical man yourself. But you do not
often have the chance. and probably a
fleeing glimpse from the window of a
moving car is all you ever get. So will
tell you what l know about clearing up
wrecks. not too particularly, but giving
you the most interesting features.
The wreck train is the train that car
ries the men and wrecking appliances
to the wreck. A good, strong engine
with tank holding plenty of water is
needed. for it cannot be spared at a crit
zeal moment to run some distance to get
its drink, thereby losing much time.
The derrick car, with its fifteen tons
capacity crane, that can be turned
around in every direction, always ap-
proaches the wreck in the van, A
couple of tool cars to hold ropes, blocks,
tools, men, ETC., complete the train. q

ter offered Yesterday. +
CHICAGO. May B. LII the Northern
Pacific investigation today, Frederick
Abbott announced that he was unable
TO procure the books asked for on We'd
nesday, orders having been issued to
Attorney Morris to lock them up. At
torney Petit state,t that assurances
were given that Edwin II. Abbott. OF
Boston, would appear before the court
of inquiry. either in New York or Mills
waukee, with the books. Witness Alb.
bolt further testified that he was un--
able to find the check book to which he
had alluded on Tuesday. The witness
had kept accounts with the Western
States Construction company. but he
was unable to recall anything about
them. So far as he knew, the company
constructed nothing. Mr.. Abbott did
not remember having seen a pool or
syndicate agreement proposing to fur
nlsh funds for the construction of the
Chicago terminals. 1t was finally de-
cided that Mr.. Abbott should be exam
ined in New York.
Edward q. Mason, formerly secretary
and attorney for the Chicago South
Branch Dock company, testified that
the property of this company was sold
in 1887 for 1852. 500 cash at the American
Exchange National bank. The attorney
did not know to whom the sale was
made.
Attorney Petit submitted letter
ID. sS. Wegg to Ii. S. Boutelle. dated
March 3, 1899. The letter was written
from the Office Of Barlow & Wetmore,
solicitors. in New York. A request was
made to have the Chicago & Northern
Pacific railroad organize Immediately
with dummy stockholders. Advice was
given that in the near future papers
would be forwarded which would show
the sale of the property. Attorney
James l.. High was frequently nen-
toned in this letter, which was signed
ID. S. Wegg. A later communication
announced that the property must be
turned over to Henry Willard. Charles
l.. Colby and Thomas F. Uakes, as
trustees.
The afternoon was largely taken up
with the examination of books and
papers, and when this was finished the
prosecution announced that ID. S. Wegg.
the president of The company, had sud-
denly left for Europe. and that H. S.
Boutelle, of Chicago. whose evidence Is
eagerly desired. could not be found.
The defense declared that Mr.. Boutelle
would return 10 Chicago Friday. 1t is
not decided whether the hearing will he

JOE WAS SAFE AT HOME.

On the Night Mr.. Harris Was

The large crowd in the criminal court
room Yesterday came 10 see Slim

smoothly shaven face. expecting him
also 10 be put ON the stand with the
stripes ON his back. But DugAh WAS
not called upon 10 testify at al1.Dfhe
crowd die not see him. The, defense
occupied the greater portion of the dav
in establishing an alibi for Joe White.
The alibi. SO far as it has GORE, is the
same as that proved for White during
the Dugan trial. The defense, how.
ever, intends to strengthen its case in
this regard. Mrs. White, or Mrs. Ems,
as she is called. her pretty young
daughter Nellie, and her youngest son,
Harry, were all placed on the standard
swore that Joe was at home on the night
of the murder of Mr.. Harris. This was
June Is, and on that night he came
home about IL 80 and shortly afterward
went to bed.
Mrs. Elms opened the door for him
when he came home. Nellie was read.
ing book, and remembered distinctly
his arrival, and Harry slept with him.
Nellie remembered that Oh the day fol.
lowing Joe and Harry went to lake to
take bath. Joe informed her he was
going. but she did not remember
whether he told her where or to what
lake he was going.
Mr.. Hall, in cross examining the
young girl, asked: Ibid Joe always
tell you when he went to take bath"
mo. sir, he did not" was the re-
Spouse.
Then how is it you remember so
distinctly that he told you OIL that day
that he was going to take bath?''
WELL" replied the girl. with all in
genuous smile and look. Il never knew
him to take bath before"
The audience laughed. and even Joe's
sinister countenance broadened into
grin.
Mr.. Hall tried his best to get the wit
ness TO contradict herself, but she stuck
stoutiy to everything she told In direct
examination. She is natty little per-
son, and dresses with exquisite taste.
MIR. Hall. during the afternoon, pre-
sented 10 each of the witnesses certain
pictures, and asked If they did not
recognize them. Aside from the like
ness of Dick Reed, both Nellie and
Harry declared they had never seen the
originals. Harry admitted that he had
been in the Jail at ST. Paul and had
passed ninety days in the workhouse.
He would not admit, however, that he
knew that most Of Joe's friends were
thieves and crooks. He had never seen
Dugan until he saw him in the court
room during his trial.
So far, the witnesses who are to prove
JOe's abb have recounted nothing new.
1t is likely, however, that some lmpor-
tant witness will be sprung today. Dur
ing the forenoon Capt. Chase testified
10 the condition of the street lights at
the corner where Carl Wingale says he
saw and recognized White and Dugan.
Miss Johnson, of the Newsboys' Assoc
citation of st. Paul, also testified to what
she knew about Dick Reed. 1t was
merely repetition of the testimony she
gave at the Dugan trial.

CaIder's Park.

No more delightful grounds for Sun
day school, fraternity clubs and social
parties are to be found within easy &C
cess to this city than Calder's park.
Once the most popular pleasure
grounds in Utah, under incapable lees
sees it fell into decay. When desola-
ton and the weeds and rubbish of neg
lect were spread over its fair surface,
George Wallace Williams came for
ward to reclaim it, and although he
has barely had time to smooth over
the rough exterior, already the grounds
are teeming with botanic plants, and
plans are in preparation for new
dancing pavilion, theatorium and club
house As if by magic the sleepy old
hollow woke up to all it's pristine
lovliness and animation on Pioneer
Day. The turnstile registered a larger
attendance than greeted any other of
the popular resorts. But great as was
the crowd that cnursed the winding
lake and swarned the grand stands
on Pioneer Day the intrepid manage
rnent dareS venture to assert that this
was but shallow stream besides the
oceans of pleasure seekers who will
frequent its genial shades ere the for
est leaves will turn their autumn
shades. Calder's park, at a single
stride. is taking q fast hold as the
peoples park. The first move of the
management was TO reduce the price
Of admission to 10 cents on all days,
except those when the actual outlay of
cash for attractions make such a mea-
gre price totally insufficient to keep
lights burning The dancing is made
free. and there are free swings, free
ry-go-rounds and lunch tables for
picnickers beside the babbling artesian
springs. But this is not half that is
to be told. There will be fireworks as
the season advances to rival Pains
pyrotechnic at the Worlds fair. The
motto of the management is nothing
too good for Calder's.
This park boasts of the only perfect
ly laid out bicycle track in Utah and
there will be premiums large to tempt
the worlds record breakers to fly their
steel-ribbed. rubber-hoofed horses on
Utah soil. The theatorium will be
opened to the public on a week from
today, when Mr.. Oscar Eliason, the
brilliant young wizard, will duplicate
every wonder of physical powers that
has baffied our sluggish senses. Other
attractions will follow in quick sue
cession, and the people Of Salt Lake
will again appreciate the matchless
beauty of the grounds beside the goth
ic bridge.
