While running down steep grade the
train broke in three sections.
The locomotives stopped at the know

just as the engineer had decided to back
the engines, the middle section came
along at a high rate Of speed and crashed
into the cars attached to the locomotives.
SevenEcars left the rails and were piled
up in confusion. Three of them were
| smashed to pieces. One of the cars struck
hand car house near the scene, drag
ging it along for several yards. Part of
the wreck brought up against dwelling

BICYCLE STEALING.
Isaac Willett Gets Four Months in Police
Court.

Isaiah Willett, a man about thirty years
of age, who was arrested Thursday after
noon by Officer Fiokett on charge of
stealing two bicycles from Harry Newton
of this city was before Judge Robinson
yesterday morning, and his case occupied
all the forenoon. County Attorney
Libby appeared for the state and Col.
George f. McQuillan for the defence.
On August 4th two boys visited Mr..
Newton's store and presented orders sup
posed to bear.the signatures of reputable
parties, requesting Mr.. Newton to de-
liver bicycles to the boys.
The wheels were not returned and on
investigation it was discovered that the
orders were forged. Mr.. Newton and the
police have been at work on the case ever
since and sufficient evidence has been OBJ
tanned to warrant Willett's arrest.
Yesterday morning it appeared that
Wiilett was In partnership at the time
with Mr.. Colpitts. Mr.. Colpitts took
the stand and testified that Willett pro-
posed to him that they should send out
some boys and get some bicycles, in order
to share the proceeds. Colpitts declined
to have anything to do with the business.
A little later Willett showed Colpitts two
bicycles and told him that they were to
be turned over as part of the partner
ship concern. Mr.. Colpits identified the
wheel in court yesterday morning as one
of the two that WIllett showed him.
Mr.. Haggett testified that Willett
brought wheel ito him which was or
iginally green, but had recently been
painted maroon, SO badly that it attracted
his attention.
Willett testified that he bought the
wheels of man and woman, paying q
small price for them.
Judge Robinson sentenced Willett to
four months in jail. Col. McQuillan gave
notice of an appeal and Judge Robinson
fixed the bail at $500.
Other cases disposed of were these:
James Farriter. Intoxication; fined So
and costs.
Thomas ]. Godfrey. Intoxication; fined
So and costs.
Henry Williams. Intoxioation; fined S.
and costs.
Henry Baker. Assault; fined S. and
