Senior del Vale. mayor Of San Juan,

chase supplies for their camp, when they
were set upon by Mexican highwaymen
one OF the MeXicans clapped a pistol TO
PoWelFS head, but the American graSped
his assallant and the two fell from their
horses. The second Mexican who was
armed with a naked machete, was in the
act Of plunging it into PowelTs back
when Hudson brought him to the ground
with Well-directed shot The first Mex
lean was rapidly overpowering Powell
when the latter called for help. Hudson
went to his assistance, when the high
Wayman aimed his pistol at the advanc-
ing man. Hudson was too quick, how
ever. and shot the man through his
breast. The two Americans then con-
cealed themselves in the mountains until
they finally decided to surrender to the
Mexican authorities. Hudson was thrown
into jail at Tenancingo, but finally got a

Macomb, Mo-, Nov. 2O,-The largest
and most destructive confagration that
has ever swept the Ozark mountains
since 1884, is now circumscribing this
town for miles and miles, north of and
parallel with the Memphis railroad.
The autumn heavy foliage has rapidly
fallen since frost and is supposed to
have been fired by sparks of freight
engines this afternoon. A scope of
country thirteen miles long is in flames,
miles of fences, orchards, plantations,
farms. and dry pasture fields, stocked
with cattle and other animals and
many old settlers homes lie in the line
Of the fire, while neighborhoods are
advancing to the scene, but find them
selves totally unable to check the
flames. and their only remedy is to
hurriedly turn out stock ahead of the
flames and desert the premises.
The altitude being 1,760 feet above
the sea, and a terrible southwest wind
prevailing, great destruction is i'm
minent. The town of Macomb will

perhaps fatally wounded William H.
Hayes, his next-door neighbor, a car

James had encroached on his lot
Hayes went about rectifying the mat

he claimed marked the limits of his
property, but which James asserted
ran into his lot. James ordered Hayes
to desist and when the latter failed to
comply fred at him with a shotgun,
the charge striking Hayes in the groin.
Hayes was taken to the hospital,
where his wound is pronounced fatal.

TO. RUN A SWITCH ENGINE.
What It. Costs, and Where the Earn
ings Come In
(Kansas City Star.


The 1913 had pulled into the round
house. She had put in an exceptionally
busy day even for a switch engine and
the engineer had gone to file with the
round-houSe foreman the report of re-
pairs needed. The foreman of the
switching crew was in the yardmas-
ter's office writing out report of the
days earnings. This report came I'M
der the eye of the general superinten-
dent, who was making one of his I'M
expected tours of inspection through
the yards, and a smile of satisfaction
overspread his face The 333 had that
day earned $26 and the superintendent
thought that if the other switch en-
gines did as well the department of
yard work at least was yielding the
company profit and doing it's share
to help pay the interest on the bonds.
He communicated his thoughts to the
yardmaster, who came in just then.
Yes" said the latter somewhat
thoughtfully, but
The master mechanic entered. He had
copy of the report made to the round
house foreman and also some data COW
ering the incidental expenses of work
ing the 1913 during the past ten hours.
Holding up the engineers report he
interrupted the yardmaster and, as if
finishing the sentence for him, said
rather gruffiy:
IF all the engines come in with a
report like this they'll have to earn a
blame sight more than they're earning
now.
WHAT ONE ENGINE NEEDED.
Here's the 1913 not six months out of
the shop and she's got to go back for a
week at least. Her boiler fl Ses have
given out and she'll have to be fixed
cot eI,o do
another days work. The brake shoes
have worn down as thin as tissue pa
per. The throttle and the cylinder need
packing again and Smith says she has
bucked and been tricky as a govern
ment mule all day. The hostler is al
most afraid to run her over the fire pit
for there is danger of her coming out
on the other side of the round house
with a tank full of brick. That comes, -
looking significantly at the foreman of
the switching crew, from pulling a
string of heavies a half mile long
aroung rattlesnake curves"
This was his way of saying that the
unfortunate 1893 was broken down and
hysterical from overwork. He contin-
ued:
And look at her expense report:
Three tons and a half of coal used UP
and nearly four tanks of water, which
is one ton of coal and a tank and half
of water too much for one days con-
sumption
The superintendent looked troubled
His feeling of satisfaction had changed
to one of disappointment. A discussion

of one of the most important railroads
entering Kansas City and when it End-
ed the superintendent was in possession
of several interesting facts about the
cost of operating a switch engine
