Butte, Mon, May 20.-Mrs. George
Whitcomb, wife of a South Butte cleo
trician, made a thrilling leap for life
about 10 o'clock this morning. With
an 1S-months'- old child in her arms
she was walking over a long trestle on
the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railroad,
and when about half way across she
saw a passenger train.
The train backed down on to the
trestle at a rapid speed, and left her
no time to reach the other end of the
trestle.
In a few seconds the train would have
been upon her, and she made a leap
over the side of the trestle and with
her babe struck the rocks about % feet
below, just as the train Numbered
past.
Several persons witnessed the leap
and rushed to the spot, expecting to
see the woman and child dashed to
death, but were surprised to find both
alive and practically uninjured. But
the mother was so nervous from the
shock over her narrow escape that she
had to be carried TO her home.

The senate resolution can be brought

Hotel Fire.

Meridian, Miss. May 20.-The South
ern hotel, one of the finest blocks in the
south, was damaged to the extent of
$3.50, 900 by a fire this morning. The
fire broke out in the kitchen on the
top floor. The stores and offices on the
ground floor suffered damage from the
fire and water. The Southern hotel car
ried only SIS. 900 insurance on the build
in and $4,000 on the fixtures. The fire
