Mr.. HALFHILL'S ESCAPE.
Loses Grips and OvercOat in Wreck in
Arizona.

J. M. Halfhill, better known as
deacon" Halfhill, the popular
travelling salesman, had narrow
escape few days ago on the Atlantis
& Pacific railroad between Holbrook
and Winslow, in Arizona. A binding
snow storm set in. and Mr.. Halfhill
and others were in the caboose of a
freight train. They heard a whistle
blow behind them, and just had time
to get out, so Mr.. Halfhill writes to
County Commissioner Paddock. In
the wreck that followed, Mr.. Halfhill
lost his grips and oyercoat, 1t was a
close call for all in the caboose, for it
seems that in the storm the engineer
of the train that was following did
not see the train ahead in time, and
the engine plowed into the rear car.

lady has most promising future.
Mrs. Snyder sang beautifully as she
always does, but last night she SEEM
ed to be in especially good voice and
delighted all with her selections.

complete salts faction of the enter
tainment. At the conclusion Of the
concert, the dining hall was cleared
OF chairs and dancing was INDUCED in
for couple of hours.

the smooth and charming manner in
which everything went off,
