THURSDAY, SEPT. 80. 1897.
COME INTO COURT.

This summons is directed to any
and all concerned officially or other
wise with the disgraceful fraud and
swindle that has been introduced to
the notice of the world as the Idaho
Railroad company. We mean to be
very specific, on the present occa-
sion, and want it distinctly under
stood that we refer solely to the al
legged corporation which has depos-
tied mortage for $40, 900 with the
Metropolitan Loan and Trust com
pany, of New York City, secured on
a nonentity, that has no value, and,
for Identification only, is called the
Kleinschmidt wagon road, and, on
this security, are placing bonds on
the market and Offering them to the
public as legitimate investment.
No doubt as an additional induce
ment to invest in this INCONSISTENCY
enterprise certain amount of the
stock of the swindle will be thrown
in. The SIGNAL has occasionally re-
ferred to the Idaho railroad scheme
in its usual mild and conservative
manner, and limited that the scheme
had some slight drawbacks, for in
stance, such as 10 to 20 per cent
grades and curves that four-horse
team and wagon could not get around,

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

at this place, was the scene of an
horrible and unfortunate accident,
Friday, the End inst, at 5 o'clock
in the evening, which resulted in
instant killing Of one of the labor
ers, a colored man named Ernest
Matthew, commonly known here
under the name of Ernest Camou.
This unfortunate and disastrous
accident was caused by two iron
dogs left in the log that was being
sawed when the accident occurred,
by the swampers who fioated it,
or by the boat who did the tow
ing. Such a thing, millmen and
swampers say, occurs very often,
and the reason they are left in
the log is when they break, the
part which is driven in the log re-
mains imbedded and concealed in
the tree.
This tree as we said in the fore
going had in it two dogs about
fifteen inches apart which were
Just about an inch above the bed
of the carrier, the first dog struck
by the big circular saw which was
revolving at a speed of several
hundred times minute, sprung
the saw and when the second came
in contact with the saw, it was be-
tween the saw and the guide of
the saw, which is q heavy piece of
casting securely bolted to the big
iron frame of the mill, the shock
was SO great that it caused large
piece of the saw TO break, which
flew in a direction of about ten de-
grees to the right of the line of
the saw, where three men were
standing, Mr.. Bnrdin, who was at
saw, young man, George Landry,
the first mar in front of the saw
and the man who was killed who
was the last, and abont twenty
feet from the saw. He was struck
by the flying pieces of the saw on
the back of the neck, right below
the scull, almost cutting his neck
in two, severing the arteries, and
breaking his neck. Death was in
stantanous as the man never mCv-
ed from the position he fell, ex-
cept two or three convulsive mo-
tions of the lower jaw. The cut
was terrible wound and was an
ugly thing to look at.
Mr.. Burdin who was at the saw
reversed the motion of the carrier
as soon as he struck the first OBJ
struction, but the carrier which is
a short-gun feed was going at a
fast speed as well as the saw,
could not be stopped quick enough
to avert the accident, and he stood
to his post until the engine was
stopped. The whole mill was pa.
mic stricken, the engineer had to
have assistance to close the steam
valve, and the great shock the saw
frame received put the sawyer's
cutoff out of order, and he could
not stop the mill. Mr.. Burdin re-
manned at the lever and held the
carrier which could not be locked
and at this time half of the biz
saw was turning at high speed
and a large number of the hands
bad rushed to the assistance OF
the dead man not noticing the
great danger in which they had
placed themselves.
Mr.. Shinn the saw filler at once
saw the great danger in which
those men were, took long piece
of wood to guide the piece of the
