On tributary of Orc Elmo creek

A RUNAWAY WAGON.

Geo. Herboth had a narrow es-
cape w ednesday. Weber and Kat
terhagan moved to the rimrock in
the afternoon with their threshlng
outfit, says the Umontown Gazette
Geo. Herboth, who hauls the water
tank, drove in the rear and just be-
hind the cook wagon which was
being drawn by the engine. When
at the foot Of the steep pitch on the
hill between Klein and Skeels, he
stopped to let the engine 90 up first;
when about half way up the cook
wagon became detached from the
engine, the clevis used in making
the connection having broken, d
ran down the hill headed for Mr.
Herboth's four-horse team which
was standing about sixty feet from
where the wagon broke loose.
George not knowing which way the
cooking outfit was going to turn,
kept the road until it came upon
him then turned out, Just then
the cook wagon also turned to the
same side Mr.. Herboth did. The
horses broke the tongue of the
wagon and after running some dis
lance were stopped by one of the
crew. One of the horses, the best
in the team, fell in the mix up and
broke its hip. The front wheels OF
the water tank wagon were broken
into splinters by the runaway
wagon. Mr.. Herboth jumped from
the wagon and escaped. injury.

A MINING "BOOM. "

A departure from the old process

miners of the Clearwater basin.
The booming plan for operating
the placer grounds is now recog
nized in the old camp of ORR Elmo,
which has been sleeping for some
years. Booming" is not new to
the mining world. 1t has been
practiced in old camps in Colorado
and to the extent of an experiment

practicable wherever there is flow
of water in the bed of a creek that
carries gold in its bars. The creek
is damned An automatic gate is
fixed in the dam. The gate is
swung upon swivel placed nearer
the bottom of the gate than the top
When the water rises in the reser-
volr to the top of the dam the
preponderance of weight on the up
per part of the gate tips it and let's
the water out with a rush. The
Hood comes at intervals with a
force that drives logs, stones and
all sand down the creek. A flood
like the normal annual rush OF
spring is created as often as the
dam fills by the natural flow. This
Hood comes, is released and does

PUR >UED BY MISFORTUNE.

An old, deaf, rheumatic and
crippled poor house inmaie named
William Jones was beforeihe coun-
ty commissioners the otEer morn
log with "a doIeful plea e be fur
nished with transportation to Den
YER. He hoped that change of
climate might be good thing for
his old bones. Jones told the com
missionerS a wonderful tale Of woe
about himself to show that he is a
man of curious misfortune and en-.
titled to more than ordinary con
sideration He said that years ago
he was a man Of some importance
in Nevada, where he conducted a
large hotel The house burned
down one night and verybodv in
it was burned to death except him
self He alone escaped unframed,
but he lost everything.
The next misfortune that befell
him was several years later, when
he was one of a party of miners
who started to cross one of the big
mountains in Nevada. They were
caught in a snowslide and II of
them were killed, but Jones lived
to tell the tale. At another time
he was in boat on a river. The
boat upset and all but he were
drowned. After that he was re-
garded as a Jonah, and nobody
would have anything to do with
him. He could get no employ
ment in the mines because 1t was
feared his influence would cause an
explosion or some other disastrous
accident. He could get no job on
a farm because the farmers feared
drouth, cyclones or earthquakes on
his account. He attempted to get
work on the railroads, but his rep
utation had preceded him and not
for the world would he be permit
ted to get on train. 1t got so that
people avoided him, and children
ran frightened from him when they
met him on the streets, and the
more he was talked about the
greater grew the stories ofhis Jonah
ism. 1t finally became necessary
for him to leave Nevada, because
he could not live there.

variation and he had to beat his

baggage and the train was wrecked
