A Serious Accident.

Last Thursday Glenn Haughey, the
twelve-year-Old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. W. Haughey, went down to the
creek near the dam in company with
some other boys. AS has been too
much the custom among the young
boys of the city, he was persuaded to
board the train with his companions,
to ride from the junction to the
union depot on the Santa Fe passen.
ger. 1t being his first attempt of the
kind, he was rather timid, and when,
as he says, he was told by the train.
men to getOff, his first impulse was to
jump. He jumped off just as the
train was crossing the small bridge
near the water tank. He struck
against protruding post and then
fell from the bridge on the rocks be-
low. A cash was cut through his
left cheek. two teeth were knocked
out, and the inside OF his mouth In
jured. An ugly cut entirely severed
his upper lip, bad cash dis6gures his
chin and the side of his head is badly
bruised. One hip also is pretty bad.
ly injured. He was scarcely able to
move next day but is not suffering
much pain.
The injured boy has not been In the
habit OF boarding the trains as many
Of the boys Of the city have. This is
his first trial but it should be a les
son to the boys Of the city who are
addicted to this dangerous practice.
1t is wonder many more such acct
dents have not been reported in the
past. The railroad authorities will
take strict precautions in the future.

the discovery of the body of Mrs. Ben.

found, her body was one reeking mass
OF corruption, horribly infested with
almost every kind of yermin. She

position, and was found in that posi-.
tlon leaning forward against a chest
beside the bed. On the chest were a
spoon and cup, seeming to indicate
That she had been sick and had per.
