4 NARROW ESCAPE.
WILLIAM Upton HAS THE EX-
RlENCE OF HIS LIFE.
HAS A VERY EXCITING RIDE
He is Thrown From a Sleigh Upon the
Pilot of an Engine and Escapes
With Slight Bruises-A Very
Exciting Runaway.

One Of the most exciting events that
ever occurred in this city was run
away on Friday night, in which Will
liam Upton had a very narrow escape
from being crushed under the wheels Of
a railroad engine on the North West
ern road near the Market street cross
ing. Mr.. Upton had a large, heavy
bay horse hitched to a cutter and was
driving about the city. On Market
street the horse became frightened and
Mr.. Upton was unable to manage him.
He dashed down West Market street,
reaching the railroad at the same time
that freight train was passing along.
The horse ran across the track and the
sleigh just touched the engine, but the
contact was sufficient to overturn the
sleigh and throw the driver upon the
pilot of the engine. Men who saw the
event turned away in horror, thinking
that Mr.. Upton would be hurled under
the wheels and crushed, but he, with
great presence of mind, caught hold Of
the pilot and at the same time shouted
that the crowd tell the engineer to
stop. The engine was stopped and
Mr.. Upton was taken from his perilous
condition. He was not seriously in
jured and had received only a few bad
bruises about the head. His escape
from what seemed almost certain in
jury was most miraculous. The horse,
freed from the burden of the driver, ran
on down Market street, throwing the
vehicle from one side to another ard
creating a panic among pedestrians
who attempted to stop him. When in
front Of the jail the sleigh broke in two
parts and this again frightened the
horse and he started out anew. At
the corner of Main street George Nj.
Melville was attempting to cross the
street and the horse came very near
running over him. The animal ran on
down To the lake and turned and went
north past the Wire Mattress factory,
and was finally caught. He was badly
cut about the side and legs by being
struck by the broken thills OF the
sleigh.

FOUR IN A BUNCH.
Police Succeed in Landing a Party of
Sneak Thieves.

After nearly two months of liberty
the police succeeded in rounding up
four men last night who were accused
of robbing a man named A. Goldberg,
who keeps a general store on West
Main street, some time in the early
part of last December. The men ar
rested were Charles Hill, Chit Smitt,
William Jensen and Dowdy Hill. The
offence was first reported at the police
office yesterday. morning, and as it was
feared. that the men would attempt to
leave the city no report was made of it
last night.
About 5 o'clock the officers succeeded
in getting all four of the men, and
they were at once brought before JUS
tice Slater and accused of taking the
goods from Goldberg. Hill got a
dozen neckties, three pairs of gloves, a
pair of pants and pair of shoes.
Smitt was not so fortunate, as he only
obtained a pair of gloves. The other
two boys were found not guilty, as it
was discovered that they did not take
anything and were only associates OF
the boys who had done the work. The
Job was committed in the day time.
Two of the boys managed to engage
the Hebrew dealer in conversation
while the others proceeded to fill their
pockets with such parts of wearing
apparel as could be found about the
store. Goldberg missed the goods at
once, but did not say anything about
the loss but kept strict watch for
any clue which might lead to the dis
covery of the thieves. The chance
finally arrived, when he saw Hill wear
ing part of the stolen goods. This
lead to the arrest Of the four boys.
Hill and SmitT plead guilty and were
fined. Hill got $l5 and costs, or sixty
days in jail. Not being able to pay he
took the latter course and will reside
with the sheriff for two months. Smitt
was fined So and costs, and like Hill
will spend twenty days in Jail. The
other two boys were discharged, as
there was no evidence against them.

FOOLED THE DRUMMER.
Sample Case Proves to Have Been Tam.
pered With.

Paul Mayer, one of the best known
of the travelling men who visit the city,
had a rather trying experience this
morning. The young man has many
friends in the city and in his travels he
left his sample case in store of one
of these same friends. The boys in
the store quickly emptied the case and
filed it up with whatever they could
find about the store. When the young
man returned he took his grip and
went to call upon one of his best Gus
toners. He gave him the usual yarns
and began to talk business, and
opened the case to show the merchant
his samples. His CONSERVATION was
beyond description when he found the
case filled to the top with Onions,
beans, bolognas and everything else
that could be found about a grocery
store. Mr.. Mayer at once recognized
the joke and made everything right by
buying cigars for the crowd.

THE RAILROAD TO BULAwAYo.
Why 1t Seems Bound TO BE "A Succese-
full Enterprise

Why 1t Seems Bound TO BE IA Succese-
full Enterprise.
The fact that the large sums Of
money necessary for the building Of
railways in Rhodesia have been real
lily forthcoming as required is in itself
evidence of the confidence which is felt
by capitalists in the future of the ter
ritory, says the Contemporary Review.
The undertaking has been initiated and
the bulk of the financial responsibility
in connection with it is being borne by
men who, whatever their faults, cannot
be described as wanting in business
acumen. They are not the sort of men
who would be likely to subscribe solid
golden SoVereignS to a project for
building, say, railway to the north
pole or to the moon. They have put
money into these railways because they
believe that they will become profitable
commercial ventures. These railways,
can only give them a return on their
money upon the condition that
Rhodesia proves itself to be a region
possessing payable gold mines and good
agricultural soil. AS regards gold
mining, it may be recalled that during
the peaceful periods when gold pros
pecting was feasible many thousands
of claims were pegged out, many COM
panies formed and much capital sunk
in various parts of the country. 1t is
asking too much to expect us to believe
that these prospectors and miners, COM
prising men who have had experience
of gold mining in all parts of the world,
became so credulous when they crossed
the Limpop as to believe that gold was
to be found where no gold exists, or
were such knaves as to pretend it eX-
listed when they had no bona fide belief
in it's existence. Prospectors, we hear,
are again busy now that the country is
pacifed, and the arrangements are be-
ing made for the Importation of ma
chinery and the starting of practical
mining. It has yet to be seen what
success will be attained. Results will
soon decide between those who disbe-
lieve that the country carries payable
gold and those who tell us that it does.
It is almost incredible that in a country
with traces of gold over such tremen-
dous area and honey-combed with so
many ancient gold-workings, there
should not be found one good egg in the
basket.

COMMITTEE MEETS.
REPUBLICAN MANAGERS HOLD AN
INFORMAL MEETING.
CAUCUS Law DOES NOT APPLY
Such Was the Decision of the County
Republican Managers in their
Meeting Today-Inspect-
ors Not Appointed.

The Republican county committee
held an informal meeting this morning
at the County Clerks Office for the pur-
pose of discussing the posi- ton of Re
nosha county in regard to the Prov
sions of the new caucus laws passed by
the last meeting of the state assembly.
No steps were intended to be taken in
regard to the matter but the leaders
decided that it was best for the party
to be placed on the right side and be
in line for the coming elections. The
presiding officer F. ii. Hall being out
of the city the meeting was presided
oyer by County Clerk Robbins who
stated the purpose of the meeting.
The law was discussed in all its phases
but no steps were taken toward the
appointment of inspectors as it was the
belief of the greater number of the
members that the law did not apply
in any way to this county. Assembly
man Runals was present and gave an
opinion in regard to the law. He said
to this county or any other county in
the state except Milwaukee county
and that the whole pul Pose of the law
was TO break up the iron bound caucus
proceedings that have so long been
INDUCED III by the members OF
both parties in the MetropOlitiOn
CITY of the state. The action of the
committee was almost unanimous and
there was no opinion expressed favor
ing the appointment of inspection.
The members Of the Democratic COun-
ty committee have not as yet consider
ed the point in question and they will
probably allow the action of their OPP
ponents to govern their action in the
matter.
The law in question is very pecu-
liar one and tends to revolutiOnize the
manner of holding all caucuses. The
law provides that in all counties hav-
ing a population of over 200, 900 the
managers o. the two parties shall meet
before the lst of February and ap-
point inspectors to attend to the hold
ing of the party. This caucus at which
delegates are to be chosen to the
county convention.
At these meetings the delegates
shall be elected by vote of the mem
bers of the party, and the manner OF
voting is to be the same as that en-
ployed in any regular election The
nominating of candidates at the gen.
eral convention must be conducted on
the same lines. In order to provide
against the work of repeaters and
other fraudulent voting heavy fine is
placed as a penalty for conviction OF
such fraudulent voting. The law is
aimed straight at the leaders of politi-
cal corruption, and promises to make
warm times for the Milwaukee polite
ians. The best attorneys in the city
support the opionions of Assemblyman
Runnals and the county committee,
and are assured that the law does not
in any way refer to Kenosha county.
Che board also had an informal talk
over the condition of the republican
party in the county, and from all
reports the repub leans of Kenosha
county were never in better condition.
