sons for Abdill's
Departure.
Was offered a Position Below
u Alan saws the Trunk Was NOT
Struggled ont Of HIS house-A
Railroad Accident.

Mr. Oates called at the News once tn's
morning and explained that on SATURDAY
NIGHT Mr.. Abdill informed him be had
been offered position below, which ne
should accept and in order to do so IL
would be necessary to leave the following
morning and asked Mr.. Oates TO sell MN
a ticket TO his destination. 1t may not
he generally known, it certainly was not
IN the NEWS. that Mr.. Oates sells rail-
road tickets from hers to the chiei cities
N Tho limited States, but as his agency
commences at Champion, he has TO pur-
chase tickets for his p 4trons from here 10
that place and he did, as is his CUSTOM
buy Mr.. Abdill ticket from here 10
Champion, as he would have had TO 90
for anyone who had purchased through
ticket from him as Mr,Abdill did.
After Mr.. Abdill on Saturday night
said be would have to go away the foi-
lowing morning MIR. Oates asked II had
settled all up with the opera folks lie
said all matters we're not settieu' ou'
there was money enough left behind TO
square up everything. Mr.. Oates says
he knows that on the Saturday Mr.. Alb
dill had squared up two or three little
matters that he owed for, and, as he had
paid his board, he presumed that Mr.
Abdill was acting towards other people
as honorably as he had done with him.
Mr.. Oates says there was no reason to
smuggle the trunk out OF his house,
neither was it done. The drayman
fetched it in sight OF all and took it to
the station as publicly as he would have
done for anyone else who was leaving the
hotel.
There is an old saying, 1.-The dell is
not as black as he is painted" audit may

railroad, having taken the track from
the road which leads TO the Tamarack

the Schoolcrait on it's last trip for the
day. When near the Calumet dam the
engineer OF the train noticed man on
the side of the track near the bridge, but
thought he was out of the way OF the
train. When the train got about five
feet from the man he jumped right IN the
middle OF the track. Before the engineer
could stop the snow pillow had struck the
man and knocked him senseess. The
train was pulled up and the man taken

II. & C. yardmaster, who lives in the
old depot. A physician was called II

It did not prove serious and the injury il
only slight scalp wound from which
O'Nei will soon recover. The engin
