West Superior, Wis. May 27.-[Spe-
cial. ]-Conductor Ring and a brakeman
named Shoopman were instantly killed at
Hawthorne, a station on the Omaha road
thirteen miles from this city, early this
morning. The train was making a flying
switch and after the front trucks had

ing the car against the water tank and
crushing both men to death.
At $50 a. M. the southbound special
freight pulled into the Hawthorne yards
with a small train and proceeded to
switch a number of cars. Conductor
Ring was to uncouple the train when
Brakeman Shoopman threw the switch.
ShoOpman, after the cars had been cut
apart, did not wait for both trucks to
pass onto the sidetrack, but threw the
switch too soon, thus causing the car to
follow both the sidetracks and oyerturn-
ing il. The cars caught the conductor
and brakeman. They were both instant
~ killed. Shoopman was badly crushed.
Conductor Ring was 36 years of age and
was at one time passenger conductor
on the Omaha and of late had been run
ming passenger train occasionally. He
leaves a wife in St Paul. Shoopman

DROPPED FROM A BALLOON.
An AerOnaut'S Assistant Caught in

Feet.

St Louis Mo-, May PA singularly
appalling tragedy sent thrills of horror
through the hearts of thousands yester-
day afternoon at Arsenal island, a pleas
IRE resort opposite the southern part Of
the city. In full view of the multitude
gathered to spend Sunday afternoon away

down to the ground. His body was
crushed to a mere shapeless mass
Heat1e and a number of other young

leased their hold but Haefe. He chung to
the bar or was caught in the rigging and
was carried up a distance of from 400
to 600 feet, when he dropped. Prof. O..
Barson, the aeronaut, said that when
about 800 or 900 feet from the ground
he saw Haafe still hanging to the balloon
He called upon Heafe to hold on, but he
let go and was killed. Heafe was 25
years old and d teamster by occupation,
residing in this city. People who knew
Heafle say he was not right in his mind.

SWINEFORD'S NEW JOB.
Ex-Governor of Alaska Detailed to
Watch Salmon Canning Syn
dictates.

Washington, D. c., May u. The rapid
inroads which fishing and packing COM
panies have made upon the supply of sal
mon in the Alaskan rivers has given great
concern to the government several years
past, since it became evident that the fish
were destined to the same fate of exter,
minatiOn which has overtaken the buffalo
and is being insisted upon the fur-bearing
seals of the Northern waters. All at.
tempts to secure effective restraining leg,
islation from Congress have proven prac-
tically without result but a new phase Of
the canning syndicates' operations is now
engaging the attention of the land Office,
which may result in measures that will
have the effect of restricting the enter,
prise of some of the companies engaged
in the business
1t has recently been brought to the at,
tentiOn of Commissioner LamOreux of the
general land office that the salmon com,
panies are acquiring much land at the
mouths of the rivers where they are en-,
gagged and are pre-empting strategical
points OF future commerce. Consequently
the commissioner has detailed A. p.
Swineford, ex-governor of Alaska, now
an inspector in the interior department,
to make an investigation of the matter
and keep the department posted that it
may know all the requirements of the law
are complied with.

wetter, a messenger in the employ of the
Stifel Brewing company, while on the

escape. The young man started from the
brewery just before noon for the North
western bank a few blocks away. The
assault was made by the two men while
he was passing a corner, a block and
half from the brewery. One seized the
satchel containing the money while the
other beat him. The bag was wrenched
from his grasp and the robbers made off
in an instant BOzewetter screamed for
help and although the neighborhood in
which the robbery occurred is thickly pop
ulated, no one came to his rescue until
the highwaymen had disappeared.
