shut the door. The men on the outside
only listened to catch o word that would
give them some idea as to how the tight
was going, but there was no talk. Al
times one would fancy that foot ball
team was performing inside. Now thert
came heaves and grunts as II two mer
were trying to put up a heavy stove, ant
then you might guess that a dray had
backed up to the opposite door and they
were throwing in few sacks of potatoes
presently. there was a rush., and they
threw in the dray, horse and all. This was
followed by perfect quiet. save for the
heavy breathing of the horse. A few mo-
ments later the door was opened and the
TWO men came out bleeding through their
smiles, and still the result of the fight was
secret, and 1t has, SO far as all know, re-
mained SO to this day.
Whipped the Hill Crew.
Jones fights became so notorious that the
travelling engineer waited upon him to say
that the master mechanic had ordered that
the belligerent engineer be discharged a
the conclusion Of his next fight. Jones
promised to reform. About month later
the travelling engineer climbed into the cab
OF the engine, which Jones was running
helping trains from Colorado Springs up
over the divide. The young driver showed
much feeling upon meeting the T. E., and
at once assured the official that he appre-
ciated the leniency of the management
now he hoped that he might leave the ser
vice with the good wishes of the officials.
w ny. you are hot going to quit, are you,
John? The old man has complimented you
repeatedly upon the, excellent work you
have been doing here on the hiN.''
Then l take it that the old man isn't
on said Jones. That's like you, Frank
to try to save my neck, but it's no USE
Suddenly 1t dawned upon the mind of the
travelling superintendent of motive power
that Jones had been fighting. If he want
ed to be sure, all he had to do was to ask
jones and ne would get the whole truth
SO he asked him whom he had fought
with.
The hill crew." was the brief reply.
"All of them?"
'Yep-began on the head brakeman and
cieaned out the cabeose, including the cap
tain said Jones, with no show of pride
The official jumped off the engine and
swung into The caboose Of an -east-bounL
freight train, and that was the last Jones
heard of the order to discharge him. for
the conductor was too proud to report the
fact that a little Tan weighing less than
one hundred and forty pounds had cleaned
out the crew with his naked hands.
The last time l saw Jones he told me
that he had quit railroading. He had
bought. with the money he had saved IN.
the old farm in Kentucky, where he was
born, had married the little girl who had
been his playmate in childhood and I pre-
sumo she and 1 were about the only close
friends he had whom he had never
thrashed.

girl with the brown cape.

You see, wol Id have been there, but"
well, you ought to be precious glad that
you weren't"
why, what was the matter? 1 always
thought everybody had a good time. when
they went to the Joneses', for believe
1T was the dullest thing l ever saw. You
knew 1t was to be sort of talk party"
Yes, everybody was to get in groups
and talk about things. Now, for my part,

But it wasn't. We just sat and looked
at each other all the evening, and every
body went home feeling uncomfortable"
You don't say 50? Why, what was the
matter? Did anything happen?"
Il IN not sure whether to say yes or no.
You see, it was this way: The pianist
didn't come, and there wasn't anybody
there who could play the piano, SO, of
course, We couldn't talk. and we all sat
there, feeling bored until it was time to

estate. Much Of the property consisted of
books and household. goods left by Mr.
Terry, besides a few articles belonging to
the estate Of Mr.. Tcrry's grandfather, ELI
Terry, the first clockmaker of America.
The greatest interest centered in the sale
of the original "grandfather's clock" Eli
Terry's first production, and, therefore, the
first tall clock made by an American It is
a remarkably handsome timepiece, the ulti-
mate ownership of which has been the
cause of considerable controversy. The bid
ding was confined to James Terry of New
Haven and E. Clinton Terry Of Hartford,
the late Mr.. Terry's only sons, and the old
clock was finally bought by E. c. Terry for
$1,000. An oil portrait of Eli Terry and Ell

CHRIST NOW COMING
Rev. DR.. Brown Believes the Mile
mum Is Near.
SIGNS ARE RIPENlNG FAST
An Immense Audience at the Au-
ditorium Hears the Sermon of
Christmas Night Repeated
Other Points Brought out.

The Auditorium was completely filled
last night by congregation to hear
Evangelist Brown preach on the Second
Coming OF Christ" This subject was the
one upon which the evangelist spoke on
Christmas night, but he took up a differ
ent phase of the subject by special re-
quest last night. The meeting was the
most interesting of any of the series, &C
cording TO many regular attendants.
Mr.. Brown spoke with his accustomed
vigor and power He spoke of the signs
which he thinks point to the early COM
ing of Christ. One of the signs is that
the time of the Gentiles is nearly fulfilled
which is spoken of in the scriptures.
This Is now the period of weakness In
governments. anarchy IL rampant in ev-
cry country under the sun. There are ru-
mors of war filling the earth. According
to the best scholars in astronomy the
time Is nearly up. 1t Is proven by solar
time, by lunar time and Sabatic time. and
by the mouth of three Witnesses shall
the truth be established"
The scriptures refer to the time of The
Gentiles as being a time Of gong to and
fro in the earth and knowledge shall tie
increased. He referred to the grea. iri-
provements of the age. These improve
ments have been made in the last 50
years. from the stage coach to the train
that moves at 20 miles an hour; from the
pillow made of a crooked stick to divers

Christian man.
He made an earnest appeal for those
not Christians who wanted to be ready
when Christ came to rise, and fully 100
persons responded to the invitation.
The meetings will be at the Auditorium
all the rest of the week and Sunday.

DEATH WAS CLOSE.
Two Girls Were "a Bridge when "a
Train Came Along.

Paterson, N. j., Jan. 1.-The prompt
action of an unknown man saved two
little girls from death on the Green
wood Lake railroad trestle, just across
the river from this city. The road
crosses the river on a bridge which
terminates in trestle 600 feet long.
The trestle is Is feet high.
Emma and Lizzie Theurer of No. so
Van Houten street started to visit
their uncle. Abraham Brewer. who
lives across the river, close to the ter
mination of the trestle. The girls, are
IA and IL years old. Before starting
they were warned to cross the river by
trolley car. They disregarded this,
because it was much shorter to cross
by the railroad bridge. The railroad
has but one track.
They crossed the bridge in safety and
were midway along the trestle when
they heard a train coming behind
them. 1t was the fast express, and
they became frightened and stood on
the track. The engineer was on the
bridge when he saw the children. He
blew the whistle and tried to stop his
engine. but his efforts would not have
availed. as the train would have passed
the spot where the children were before
1t could be stopped. ~
The danger the girls ran had been
detected before either they or the en-
gineer realized It. A man who had
crossed by the wagon bridge and was
on the highway saw the girls on the
bridge and heard the train when IL
was a long distance off. He started
across the swamp which the trestle
bridges. and reached the girls just in
time. He stood beneath them and
called to them to jump. The elder one
recovered herself sufficiently to make
the leap. She was caught successfully.
The younger girl was too frightened
to move. but when the train was with
in a few yards of her she stepped back
involuntarily. Her foot slipped and she
fell. Her skirts caught on the ties and
she hung while the train passed her
The skirts finally gave way and the
stranger caught her. Both girls then
went into mysteries. The stranger went
about his business.

ON NEW YEARS DAY
Sleigh Riding Was the Chief Amuse-
ment in This City.

Afternoon Spent I'm Rest and
= Merry Making-Lots
of Snow.

New Years morn a light funny fall
of snow TO about half foot In deptn
covered up the eccentricities OF the
storm which had left so many bare
spots in the roads and made the sleigh
ing superb. Holiday makers TOOK
prompt advantage of the opportunity.
and everybody and his best girl went
out for a ride who had the price of the
hire for a cutter and team. The for
tunate owners of turnouts were early
abroad, and the jingling of the bells
was heard all day long. The posses
sors of speedy nags got many a brush
ialong the quieter streets. 1t was an
ideal day for such amusement, the
temperature was mild and the air was
full of feathery flakes.
The ladies who were at home, were
visited by many callers. and the cour-
tesies of the season were lavishly ex-
tended.
The business district was abandoned
after IL o'clock, when all the business
men and clerks Joined in the days fes-
tivities.
The saloons were well patronized, but
not TO the extent which brings on
trouble. and there were no arrests ex-
cept a few fellows who were taken In
and given safe keeping rather than Tor
disturbance or disorder.
1t was a very happy beginning OF a
year that is expected to be very hap
by one for residents of Anaconda.
