An Appalling Accident Narrowly Aver
ted The Work Either of Fiends
or Ml.chicf MRkers.

Either fiends or some mischief makers
who did not realize the enormity OF
they were doing. are supposed To have
been responsible FOR an accident on the
new street car line to CenterVille last
night. which. but for the thorough char
aCter Of the construction of the road,
might have had appalling results. The
10 O'Clock car down the hill jumped the
track on the big iron bridge. just below
CenterNille. but no damage was done,
as the heavy timbeTs laid outside the
rails as guards against just such acCi-
dents prevented the car from running
OF the bridge. The car was loaded with
people and but for the guard the conse-
queuces must hay been terrible. The
people behaved well and all kept their
seats as though nothing had happened.
Cars were run as far as the bridge the
remainder OF the evening. and by |
o'clock this morning the car was back
on the track. No damage was done and
no one was injured. a most fortunate
elimination of an accident I'm which the
possibilities Of disaster were so great.
Manager Wharton feels confident the aC-
cident was caused by something being
placed on the rails. as the track Is
straight and smooth at this particular
point. and 1t Is difficult to see how the
car could have left the rails otherwise.
Whether IL was lone by some one with
evil intentions or by boys who did not
realize what they were doing Mr.. Whar-
ton a no idea.

count Of the grade Of East Broadway

road over private property and no per
manent street or grade had been estab-
lished. In 1926 an ordinance was passed

Killing Sparrows.

In five minutes from the time that the
men started on their way the guns
Logan to bang. All up and down the
valley during the entire afternoon the
reports filed the air until the inhab-
itants might have been excused for be-.
Loving that q war skirmish was going
on in the neighborhood. The spar
rows never had been thicker. In fact
they had been SO thick during the sum.
mcr months that they threatened to
cat the farmers out of house and home.
One peculiar fact about shooting spar
rows is that the noise of the guns seems
70 frighten them only temporarily.
TAcy rapidly become accustomed to
the report, as they do to everything
else. They are the most complacent
upstairs that ever immigrated into
the country. On Fourth OF July the
same characteristic is noticeable. In
early morning, when the first few fire.
crackers OF miniature torpedoes are dis
charged, the sparrows will fly away
to the topmost branches of the trees
or to the caves of the barns and houses,
where they build nests, but before
nightfall they are back again on the
streets as clipper as ever, and only
mind ilrccracker long enough to fly
few feet away and sputter like the
mischief when it bursts. So it is
when hunting. The, first discharge OF
weapons early in the morning sent
the sparrows away to their safest re-
treats, but by noon, between hunger
and the fact that they no longer
dreaded the noise, they were out on
the roads, in the fields, about barnyards
and stealing the grain away from the
chickens, as though they never had
heard shotgun.

why Farmer Slack Failed.

Farmer Slack will set no more fruit
trees, because he always has such bad
luck with them" Among the causes of
his bad luck were cattle which trimmed
the trees, careless workmen who
parked them with plows and moving
machines, and suckers which came up
around the roots. OF course the trees
were not matured and mulched, while
such pew-fangled notions as spraying
or removing caterpillar nests are never
so much as thought of. Slack doesn't
believe in "fussing" with tree

He wasn't baptized and he went to

Now it is not our purpose to affirm
that the thief was baptised, our argu-
ment is simply that taking the clipture
alone, the weight OF testimony is in
favor OF that proposition" 1t will be
