WHAT THE PASSENGERS WITNESSED
Freight Engine on the Frisco Goes Through
Bridge Taking Down the Men.

PaSSegerS on yesterday morning
Frisco train We're compelled to witness
a scene of fortidute and self-resignation
not often Shown by men. The passen-
ger train as it came west came upon the
wreck of a freight train and was COM
PEELED to wait until the track was clear
ed, and the passengers rendered valua-
bic aid in rescuing the men.
1t seems that the freight had come to
Spring creek, in the east part OF the
state, and found the creek flowing bank
full. The engine went on the bridge
when the structure gave way and the
engine and tender went down, while the
cars telescoped. The engineer felt the
bridge give and at once applied the air
brake, but both he and the fireman
were carried below in the raging tor
rent
When the passenger train came up
the passengers found the remainder of
the crew trying TO extricate their COM
rades, but both the fireman and en-
gineer were held perfectly fast.
They all worked faithfully, but four
and one-half hours were spent before
the engineer was extricated. The fire.
man was still held fast and the cold
water came to within an inch of his
mouth. When he told the men who were
trying TO get him out that II was no use,
that he could not live and
for them 10 try and re-
lieve others. At last after being held
in the cold water for five hours and
half he was gotten loose, but was so
benumbed that he had TO be wrapped
in blankets. Robert Stephens, who was
a passenger on the train, said: 81 have
seen brave men, but when 1 heard that
poor fellow telling the men to look after
his comrades and let MIN go, ii moved
me. a man with such heart as that
cannot be far from devine. Selhshness
is perfectly natural, but this man SEEM
ed far more interested in others than
he did in himself. 1t is needless to say
that the man was given the best of
care and when we left him at Neodesha
he was in the best of hands and nothing
TO interfere with his recovery unless
fever should set in. 1 will never forget
how he looked standing there with the
cold water about his neck, and how glad
he was when we told him the engineer
had been rescued"
This will explain the reason for the
Frisco being so late and the report that
the passenger train had been wrecked.
1t was not the passenger but a freight
and the passenger was thus detained.

Farmers in the country had better

and Wonderful Stories

The Commercial club sent another boy,
stephen Sxartz, of 10 Ida avenue, 70
the Pasteur institute yesterday morn
ing, making eight in all that the club has
sent.
All day yesterday the mad dog scare
was the subject Of discussion on every
hand and the widest stories were afioaI
The police were called 10 the West Side
to kill a horse that was affected with
the disease, belonging 10 a man named
Snyder
About 2 o'clock a telephone came to
police headquarters that a man named
Abbott had been bitten by shepherd
dog, believed to have had the hydro
phobia, on the hand. The bite was not
a severe one, and II could not be learned
last night whether or not the man
would go TO Chicago for treatment
Word received yesterday from Chicago
stated that all the patients were doing
well, but that the treatment had made
Rev. Mr.. Beach very sick, also that the
doctor at the institute stated that all
the patients had germs of hydrophobia
in their blood.
Yesterday was day never to be for
gotten in Wichita by the rush for dog
muZZles and dog tax Up to o'clock
yesterday afternoon 2S6 persons had
called TO pay their dog tax, and every
conceivable kind of dog muzzles were
bought and taken home. There were
probably less dogs to be seen upon the
streets yesterday than ever before.
Dog Catcher Henry Burford is doing
a thriving business and up 10 last night
had sent almost 800 dogs to their happy
hunting grounds, since the mad dog
scare set in, when the Eagle for the
first time published the biting of Rev.
Mr.. Beach and others by the coach dog
on the Sunday previous.
Have you got your dog muzzled %
was the first thing every man you met
on the streets yesterday said. It
is now understood that every poor dog
whose master is too contrary TO buy
him a muzzle will be "shot on the spot"
What are you going 10 do with the
dogs now?" asked reporter for the
Eagle Of the chief of police last night.
"Just as soon as 1 can see the mayor"
said Chief Burt, Eve are going to orga-
nize a shotgun brigade and XIII every
dog found running in the streets with
cut being muzzled.'
The police reported that Burford had
landed over forty dogs in the dog pound
yesterday morning before 8 o'clock.
They claim he never fails when he goes
after them and his manner of catching
the unsuspecting CANNES is something
new and novel.

BIG ROAST PIG DINNER.

sTRoNG's SERVES IT'S PATRONS A
COMPLIMENTARY ROAST PIG.
When man goes TO restaurant
for a meal he likes to know not only
that the house has good reputation,
good cooks and walters, but most Of
all, where does the stuff come from
that he is expected toeat? The truth
is, most caterers cannot answer these
questions themselves, but for this
very reason, patrons are the more
anxious to know. 1t has often come
to the minds of people who eat at
restaurants, that 1t would be great
card II some restauranteur would ar
range to produce these things himself,
and thus be prepared to proclaim his
bill of fare the best iu the land. This
would seem like an oasis In the desert,
but, nevertheless Salem has just such
a place. 1t is, 10y the way, the oldest
restaurant i'm the city, and one OF the
best known in Oregon. Westacott &
Irwin, proprietors Of the famous
Strong's restaurant, have fine ranch
east OF the city, fitted up for the ex-
press purpose Of supplying the needs
of their tables. This place is con-
Quoted by Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin, while
Mr.. Westacott looks after the large
business in the city. On this farm,
which is one of the best of dairy es-
tablishments, is produced the milk,
butter, cream, eggs, chickens, ducks,
turkeys, and considerable OF the
meats needed by the restaurant. to-
days New Years dinner consists OF a
young roast pig from their own stock,
which Is one Of the rare dellcacies OF
the season. The firms wagons make
regular daily trips with supplies OF
vegetables and nearly everything
needed for the table. This insures
the greatest possible freshness, which
is always appreciated by their patrons.
Another very attractive feature Of
Strong's, is the fact that large bak-
cry is run in connection, where they
bake their own bread and pastry, as
well as supply the trade OF the city.
This establishment is always open 60
the inspection Of its patrons, and
challenges any on the coast for cleanli-
ness or good service.
