Tho Railroad club met Tuesday even
ing III the usual place, and after short
business session tho boys drifted into
'shop" conversation. The fast run os
tho general managers special from Hope
to Mlssonla was commented on, and
the talk on fast runs became general.
Several stories of remarkable time made
Oh different occasions were related, and
when the blond brakeman got the floor
he saw he was expected to break the rec
ord. And he did.
Speaking of fast runs" said he,
why, that little Montana Union limo
lays over anything ever saw. No Dutch
clocks or anything else to hold man
down there. I worked for that road
when Bob Smith was dispatcher, and
when he told the boys to wheel 'em'
we all knew what it meant. One day wo
wero going north and were delayed in
various ways until we reached Stewart.
Bob wired the con. at that point that he
wanted our train to get to Garrison just
as quick as God would let us. We had
clear track when we started, and it

burst of speed was reserved for the
home stretch-from Deer Lodge to Gar

Lodge. but as we approached that place
the engineer sounded tho whistle as
usual, and you may take my head for a
football if the slow sign in tho CARR
son yards wasn't passed by our train be-
fore that whistle had ceased to sound"
This made tho boys look weary, but
the "braky' hadn't finished yet. He
continued:
well, we put our train away and
were resting ourselves when we glanced
up the track and saw dark streak ap-
preaching at lightning gait. We were
astounded for an instant, but as it slow
ed up we readily recognized it as tho
shadow of the train we had just brought

A farmer in the Kansas cyclone dis

putting it there TO stay, building it
feet across the base and feet high. A
stranger camo riding by, and seeing the
care the farmer was taking said to him,
You seem to be mighty careful about

May EXPLAIN A MYSTERY
Serious Charges Made Against an
Oyster Sloop Captain.
One of His Crew on the Way to Bal
timOre to Report to the Au-
thorities.

Anthoni John a little German, as queer
as his name and bearing many marks OF
ill-usage, called at Sanitary Officer Franks
room at police headquarters today and told
a narrowing story, which viii be inyesu-
gated by the Maryland and Virginia au-
thoritics.
John was an oyster dredger on the lower
Potomac until Thursday, when he was
put ashore, penniiess and haif-ciad, by the
captain of the schooner he was employed
on. If the German's story is true. md IL is
partly borne out by documents in his pos
session from Virginia officials, two mys-
terious deaths on the lower river will bs
account ed for.
John is forty-three years old. and halls
from Lebanon county, Pa. Several weeks
ago he shipped at Baltimore on the oyster
dredging schooner Stevenson, Capt Jack
son Hall, of Chesterfield He claims that
while on the vessel he was treated with
great brutality, and on one occasion the
captain, at the point of a revolver, made
him sign a receips in full for the wages
due him. On another occasion, he says.
Capt Hall fired the pistol at him, the bni'et
grazing his flesh.
Several days ago two strange men were
received on the schooner and one night
they rnysteriously disappeared after the
captain had threatened them. The next
DAY the body OF dro owned man, said to be
one OF the missing two, was washed ashore
at Upper MachodOc creek, and was buried
by the Virginia authorities.
John Shove ed Mr.. Frank letters from
Capt. Turner oyster inspector or the Jhir-
teenth Virginia district, and Sheriff Price
OF King George county, Va. Capt. Turner
tells OF the dead body of d man coming
ashore, and says Anthoni John is seek
ing pa assage to Baltimore TO lay the mat
ter before the Maryland authorities to
seek Justice He also adds that he be
lieyes Capt Hall is an Illegal dredgcr,
and had heard that the captain threat
ened to kill u new sailor one night ant
on the following. day the ''floater' was
found in the river.
John stated that he was rowed ashore
by Capt. Hall and his cousin Thursha ynigtt
aud he believes they intended to do away
with him, because he knew too much y
The captain, he says, still owes him nearly
$50 for wages, and Ia c arrivedh he re penniless
John also charged that the Steve nson Is
something OF a piratical craft, and has on
board turkeys and chickens stolen from
persons on shore
Las Sunday kill Won beeg rooster, cat
pie oy him. Den de cap'n says de relis-
vas sthoIe,'' he said, "und make a POI:
ious grace over dat stholen chicken"
Sanitary Officer Frank gave the German
"A ticket TO Baltimore, where he promises
To place charges against the captain OF lht
schooner Stevenson.
