In speaking of the testimony which

HEAD LET GO.
Engineer Schrieber's Narrow Es=
cape Friday Morning.
Piston Rod on the Big Mill Engine
Breaks and the Cyclinder Head
Blows Off.

Second Engineer Geo. SchTieber, of
the big mill, considers himself lucky
that he is alive. At $3.50 O'clock
Friday morning he was attending the
ponderous mill engine, when the head
of the piston rod broke without warn
ing and the cycliEder head and piston
head blew out with terrific force and
great crash. A thousand pounds Of
steel was shot against the opposite
wall by the hundred pounds Of steam
then registered, and steam filled the
room in no time, at scalding tenn
perature. Mr. Schrieber was at the
moment Of the accident walking
toward the cylinder head and was not
six feet from it. In two seconds more
he would have been in front OF il, ana
if he had been there he would never
have known what struck him.
The accident WAS one Of those un-
accountable ones that none can fore
see. The flying steel struck heavy
lathe, valued at $3.50, and demolished
il. Had not the stone wall been so
thick, il would have been penetrated.
Mr. Schrieber was forced by the escdp-
ing steam to 20 through the electric
light plant room, and crawl over the
boilers IN order to shut off the steam
The greatest loss Will be in the fact
that the mill will have to be shut
down four or five days. The loss TO
machinery will not exceed few huu-
dred dollars. The mill has been run
ming 10 It's full capacity, turning out
1000 barrels day, and hardly able to
keep up with the orders, which re-
turning prosperity is causing to pour
in from all directions. MIR. Palmer
was notified half an hour after the &C
cident occurred, and both foundries
were engaged to assist in repairing
the damage TO the machinery.
The electric light works has two
engines, which it is using, and unless
these should be DISABLED in some way
there will be no interruption in the
electric current.

Miller Goes to Saltwater.

Sheriff Bowen left Saturday for
Saltwater, having Cyrus B. Miller in
his custody. He will keep a close
watch upon Miller, whose slippery
ness has been demonstrated on several
occasions, notably when he made a
break for liberty soon after being ar
rested at Fdlrmont. This trip closes
the sensational case of the former
Nebraska school teacher and as tn e
Jaeger school house so far this
county is concerned.
Miller was feeling in a very vim
dictive spirit when he entered the
court room Friday afternoon to re-
.ceive his sentence, and muttered to
his attorney about it's being a dog
trick and one thing and another.
He seemed to think that there was
general plot against him, in which the
people, the officials aud the news
papers were banded together to do
him up He thought that the return
ing of an indictment charging him
with grand larceny in the first degree
was scheme to get him into prison
for five years. After Judge Severance
had spoken about the chance of par
don or parole, Miller frightened up
a good deal.
John DacK was allowed an extern
sion of time until Monday at 300 n
no. to plead.

INCENDIARY AT WORK.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Burn Pay &
Sons Livery Barn.

An attempt was made some time
Friday evening or in the night TO burn
small stable in the rear
of the livery stable of b. d.
Pay & Son. Saturday morning on
entering the stable it was fouud that
a fire had been set in one of the stalls
on the ground under the maDger, and
to one side of the stall, and quite
handful of hay had burned up
Luckily there was no hay in
the manger directly above where
the fire was started, and when
what had been gathered together had
burned up, the fire went out. There
was horse in the stall where the fire
was started, and one or two cows were
also kept in the stable. The barn at
tendant states that he was last in the
stable at $50 Friday and every
thing was all right then. The door

WILL MAKE 1T FORTY FEET.
The South Broad Street Driveway VIII
Ba Widened.

The attention which the FREE
PRESS called to the South Broad
street work Thursday stirred up
considerable interest and an improve
ment is likely to be made in the
width of the driveway by adding
four feet to it, making forty feet in
stead of thirty-siX as originally H.
tended. We understand that the
street committee Of the council met
on the ground Friday and fav-
ored such a move, and petition to
that fleet was be pre- sented TO the
council Saturday evening, and that
BODY give it favorable con-
sideration. Four feet Will be
quite an improvement, but Will SILL
leave the street between the curbs
much too narrow, especially when We
take into consideration matter that
has not yet been preached, and that
is safety in bicycle riding. he
wheel is a modern vehicle that has
come to stay and demands recognI-
tion. In fixing the streets at least
three feet upon side should be taken
inro consideration for the accommo-
dation of the wheel. A forty foot
street is only about wide enough for
teams, and when the bicycle is taken
into account at least forty-siX feet is
needed, and fifty feet would be much
better, especially in a street used as
much as Broad street is. The coun-
Gil ought o take this into cOnsidera-
tion when acting upon the matter.
