1t Was Bad Work.

Nephi Republic: What seems very
plainly to be an act of criminal careless
ness occurred on Tuesday morning near
c. II. Sperry's place on the railroad track
between here and Mona.
Mr.. John Sudweek had been sent on his
l.ttle handcar in the direction of Mona
to icog up bad places on the track that
needed repairing. According to eye-wit-
nesses. q gang of bridge builders. who
also were riding Il large handcar. came
up behind Sudweck and out of pure Gus
sedness or reckiessness told the gentle
man to get move on him. OF course he
tried his best to get out of the way. but
TIE more he tried the faster the bridge
repairers pumped on their car until the
RAPID rate began TO tell upon the old
man. At a certain point on the road his
velocipede jumped the track and Sudweek
saved himself by stepping off the car
but unfortunately for him he jumped in
the way of the approaching repair car
The men yelled TO him to get out of the
way but he was paralyzed. and the men,
seeing to what extent their recklessness
had led them. jumped their car. being
usssble to stop il. and the consequence
was that the poor man was knocked down
and run over, il passing over his right
ankle cutting the main artery of the leg
Mr.. Sedweek in his statement said that
they were crowding him to see how fast
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-04-26

they could make him go. and when his
velocioede jumped the track he jumped
from u. but somehow or other his foot
cot caught in the ties. and he found il
impossible to get out of the way OF the
swiftly approaching car of the bridge
builders. To save himself. he grasped Il
plank on their car seeing that this was
the only way of saving his life, but with
the consequences as previously state He
states very emDhatically that if he had
not grasped the plank he would have
been a dead man.
The statement that they were travelling
81 the rate of only five miles an hour is
certainly erroneous and misleading. Cor
his car was smashed all to pieces. the
bolts twisted in every conceivable FORM
This could not be done at a rate of only
five miles an hour.
Eye-witnesseS claim that they were run
ming at the rate of % or % miles an hour.
and this will be brought out at the trial.
The accident was a case of pure cusSed-
ness and criminal carelessness. and the
railroad company, though not directly re-
sDonsible. should see that the guilty
parties are punished and Sudweek should
be paid a goodly damage fee for the loss
OF foot.
1t is very plain that the gentleman will
not only be a cripple for life. but has no
means of support for his family.

Prof. Augsburg will be missed very much
when he leaves. for his work has made
him a general favorite. The primary

pleasing feature. They responded to an
encore with another pretty song.
Among the resolutions adopted by the
teachers was the following:

CAsSIA COUNTY MINES.
Some of the Producers of Conner
Creek District

The Boise Statesman, in speaking of
the mines OF Cassia county. Ida, in
which many Salt Lakers are inter-
ested, says:
1t is now more than probable that
Cassia county will soon be added to
the list of great mining counties of
Idaho. There have been some rumors
of mineral discoveries in that section.
but little or nothing has been known
of them and the public has not real
lied that developments are going on
there that are likely to bring Cassia
county TO the front very soon as one
OF the heavy producers of the state.
It has been the good fortune of a
representative of the Statesman TO be
able to make q, close investigation of
the mining resources of the county,
and particularly OF the Conner creek
district. and the result of that inves-
LEGATION are such as to warrant the
prediction that the mines of Cassia
will soon attract wide attention. No
attempt will be made TO go over all
the districts in detail. but a sketch OF

A Notable Instance of Courage.

In passing along on, foot among the
troops at the extreme front that even
ing while transmitting some of the
final orders, l observed an incident
which afforded n practical illustration
of the deliberate and desperate courage
of the men. AS l came near one of the
regiments which was making prepara-
tions for the next mornings assault 1
noticed that many of the soldiers had
taken off their coats, and seemed to be
sewing up rents in them. This exhibit
tion of tailoring seemed rather peculiar
atsuch a moment, but upon closer exam
ination it was found that the men were
calmly writing their names and home
addresses on slips of paper and pinning
them on the backs of their coats, so that
their dead bodies might be recognized
upon the field apdtheir fate made known
to their families at home. They were
veterans who knew we'll from terrible
experience the danger which awaited
them, but their minds were occupied
not with thoughts of shirking their
duty, but with preparation for the des-
perate work of the coming morning.
Such courage is more than heroic-it is
sublime.-Gen. Horace Porter, in Gem
f1tr~v
