telegraphed the warning which saved
the train, Is only q years old. At the
request Of Chicago paper Mrs. Reich
ard tells how the incident happened
in the following words
It isn't much of a story, but this is
how 1t all took place. Friday evening,
| March is, I sat UP later than usual
writing, having cut the telegraph in
strument out of the office, as the noise
disturbed me. 1 had been in the habit
of leaving the instrument "cut into" the
Office for company during the night, as
L staid in the depot alone with my babe,
2 years old. think that my having cut
the instrument out was what caused
the men to talk as they did, for had
they heard the instrument they would
have gone away.
About 10 o'clock began to prepare to
retire, and while I was disrobing 1
heard footsteps coming from the direc-
ton Of the water-tank. L thought it
was the section men returning from the
store, about one-half mile away, but
as they stopped just outside my bed
room door knew it was not they.
was in bed by this time, but when they
stopped I thought had better see what
they meant by stopping there, so crept
quietly to the door and just as I reached
1t heard Voice No. say:
"Do you think it will work?"
"Sure. No train can get over a pile
Of ties we put on the track"
Voice No. 2-Shall we put 'em on the
bridge or east of the bridge?
No. 2-East of the bridge, for we don't
want the express car to go into the
river.
No. 1-Well, we will go into the depot
and stay until the freights are gone,
then fix the ties.
Just as soon as I heard the last re-
mark knew If did not tell the train
dispatcher at once would have no
| chance. So, without waiting to dress,
hurriedly took my revolver, a 80 cali
bre, and went into the office, "cut in,"
and began to call the dispatcher at Du-
luth and started to tell him there were
some men going to wreck No. is. But
| as soon as the plotters heard the instru-
ment they rushed to the office door, and
grasped the doorknob, trying to get in.
instantly picked UP my revolver and
| fired four shots through the door, and
had the satisfaction Of hearing them
run away.
I was SO badly frightened it was some
! time before 1 could tell the dispatcher.
AS soon as I made him understand he
told me to go for the section men, which
did. We have not seen nor heard any
thing more Of them.
My nerves are badly shaken from the
fright, but nothing more serious re-
suited from the plot. The division

Any one who has ever had an
attack OF infiammatory rheumat-
ism will rejoice with Mr.. j. A.
Stumm, 900 Boyle Heights, Los
Angeles, over his fortunate escape
from a siege Of that distressing all
ment. Mr.. Stumm is foreman Of
Merrism's confectionery establish
ment. Some months ago, on leav-
ing the heated work room to run
across the street on an errand, he
was caught out in the rain. The
result was that when ready to 60
home that night he was unable to
walk, owing to inflammatory rheu-
matism. He was taken home, and
on arrival was placed in front Of a
good fire and thoroughly rubbed
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
During the evening and night he
was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was re-
lieved of all rheumatic pains. He
now takes especial pleasure in
praising Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and always keeps bottle Of it in

Rev. DR.. Bailey's Death.

It developed later that the death
OF Rev. DR.. J. A. Bailey, at No. 4l9
.Zsvsla street yesterday morning,
as mentioned in the LIGHT, was
caused by morphine poisoning.
Deceased was about 60 years ofage
and suffered from spinal troubles
the past few weeks. He COM
planned of pains in his back yes
terday morning, and asked Rev.
McWilliams, his cousin, who at
tended him during his illness, to
give him some morphine, as that
has always eased his sufferings.
The request was granted and In a
few moments DR.. Bailey was I'M
conscious. A physician was i'm
mediately summoned, but it was
too late. DR.. Bailey had departed
this world. Deceased came here
from Bay City, Mich, nearly twen-
ty years ago, and up to about five
years ago lived at LoGkhart, where
he owned a beautiful ranch. He
lived in San Antonio with Rev.
McWilliams about two years. He
was born in New York city. His
remains were shipped to Lockhart
last night for burial. Deceased was

Cruelty to Animals.

Sitting q horses nostrils is still
practiced in some parts Of the
world, as in Persia, Mongolia, and
even northern Africa; and ponies
with slit nostrils are often seen in
the Himalayas and in Afghanis-
tan, says writer in the Nine
teenth Century. This mutilation
Is resorted to in the erroneous be-
lief that the horse can inhale more
air when going at a fast pace, and
also that 1t prevents neighing-a
disqualification Of much import
ance during war, or when it is de-
sirable to travel as silently as pos
slble. 1t was practiced in Hungary
not long ago, If we are to accept as
evidence the copy of a finished
sketch Of a horses head by the
celebrated Zoffani, given in Colo
mel Hamilton's work on horses. 1t
is rather surprising that the
fashion was not renewed in Eng.
land, for two or three centuries
ago, to prevent a horse neighing.
1t was recommended to tie a
wollen band around the tongue.
Markham says:
"If either when you are in
service in the wars and would not
be discovered, or when upon any
other occasion you would not have
your horse to neigh or make a
noise, you shall take lyste (band)
Of wollen cloth, an tye it fast in
many folds about the middle of
your horses tongue, and believe it,
so long as the tongue is so tyed,
so long the horse can by no
means neigh or make any extra
ordinary noise with his voice, as
hath often been tried and APP
proved Of"
A very barbarous and useless
operation for the prevention OF
stumbling in horses was fashion
able toward the end OF the seven
tenth century; this was the ex-
posture Of the tendon Of a muscle
that assists in dilating the nostrills,
and twisting it around two or three
times, when it was divided. "In
doing this you shall see the horse
bring his hinder legs to his fore
legs almost, when you have thus
pulled and turned the sinew two
or three times" Such a statement
will give some idea Of the pain the
animal experienced during the
senseless operation.
