Additional Particulars From Cheyenne
Tribune-Engineer Davies Story
Saw Train and Reversed Engine
Whistled and Was Caught While
Trying to Jump.

The Cheyenne Tribune contains the
following particulars of the wreck
which occurred near there Sunday:
Engineer Davies, who was in charge
of the first engine of the west bound
freight in telling about the accident,
said: 81 was sitting in my cab at the
time, when, in glancing up at the lu-
%bricator, which is almost in line with
the window, l was dumbfounded to see
the lights of another train coming
around the curve ahead Of me. l in
stantly reversed the lever, blew the
whistle and then sprang for the gang
way with the intention Of jumping to
the ground. But the crash came too
soon and l was caught and pinned be-
tween the cab and the tender. 1 strug-
gled with all my might to escape, but
could not move until the rebound came,
when l was released and fell to the
ground outside"
Engineer Davies was found about
20 minutes after in an unconscious
condition with his hands and feel
slightly frozen from the cold. He was
severely crushed through the hips and
the ligaments of his left arm are
severely strained.
The body of Fireman Stockins was
brought to this city and taken to the

the night, and let them be for signs.
Luke LA.
The above is a slightly modified
s%criptural quotation adapted to pres
ent conditions.
The sign ordinance has caused a gen.
family and fun.
The city marshal, in pursuance of the
provisions of the city ordinances, pass
ed at the last meeting of the council,
served notices on nearly fifty persons
to remove their signs within forty
eight hours. Some did so at once and
put their signs up on the houses ynd
sawed off the posts to the required
length, four and a half feet, allowed by
the ordinance.
One man playfully painted on his
former sign post, This is not a sign
post. it is a hitching post" .
A meeting of the business men was
held this morning at c. E. Carpenters
office and 1t was the general opinion
that the ordinance was unreasonable
and would work a hardship on a ma
jority of those affected by the ordin-
ance, and that action should be sus-
pended pending further investigation.
Mayor Miller consented to suspend
the enforcement Of the ordinance until
the next meeting Of the city council,
when it could be discussed and settled.
The business men in the meantime
will circulate a petition and present this
at the next council meeting asking to
have the ordinance repealed and in the
meantime The signs will stay.
The expense of taking down and put
ting back the signs that have already
been removed will be adjusted in some
way so hat these parties will not suf-
fer by having complied with the law.

A coroner's inquest was held yester-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock and the
following verdict was returned by the
jury:
I'VE, the jury, find from the evidence
given that benjamin Stockins was
killed in a wreck on the Union Pacific
railroad about one and three-fourths
miles west Of Borie, Laramie county,
Wyoming. at about 2 o'clock a. M,

on second Union Pacific" engine No.

collided with an extra eastbound freight

the parents live. The body will be for

What Shall We Do2

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on SO slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to u%rtnate, often with a burning SEN
%sation, the flow OF urine being copious or
scant with strong odor.
II allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen dow down be-
tween the navel and the water passage in
creasing desire to urinate, with ~scalding
sensation in passing, small quantities be-
ing passed with difficulty, sometimes uec-
essary to draw 1t with instruments. II
uric acid or gravel has formed, 1t will
prove dangerous IL neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a remedy famous
for its marvellous cures Of the most dis
tressing cases known as Dr.. Kilmeris
Swsmp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
AS a proof Of the wonderful virtues Of
this great discovery, swamp-R Root, a sam
