Blockaded 1875 Days.

LEADvILLE, Col, May 27.-After a
blockade lasting for four months the South
Park railroad has been opened and train
reached here from Denver yesterday.
The blockade has been in force since
January 81 and has been by far the long
est in the history of railroading in Colo
RADIO. The towns along the line have suf-
fered severely. At several times starva-
ton was seriously threatened and was once
averted through the energy of the people
in breaking roads through the snow to the
nearest points open to railroad communi-
cation
For 125 days the mines along the road
have been unable to ship ore, and, with
the exception of development, all work has
been suspended,

How to Cure a Horse of Shaking
His Head.


In speaking of the peculiarities of the
colt Limerick, Ben Kenner told me that
he cured him of the annoying habit of
throwing his nose out and shaking his
head by simply trimming all the long hairs
out of his nostrils, says a writer in the
Horse Review. The wind blew the hairs
back in his nose and tickled him so that
he couldn't keep his head still. Kenney
said that he believed long hairs in the nose
were Just what caused SO many horses to
shake their heads when trotting against
the wind. 1t is new one on me, but 1t
looks sensible and is worth remembering.

WRECKED BY A wAsHoUT,
9 Persons Killed and % Wounded.

WATERLOO, Iowa, May 2S.-The
through .rain from Chicago to Minneapolis
over the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern Railways, was wreck
ed at LIS Sunday morning at the crossing
of Sink Greek, about four miles southeast
of this place The train consisted of six
coaches, including mail and baggage car,
smoking car, two passenger coaches and
sleeper Eight persons were killed and
twenty three injured,
CAUSED BY a wAsHOUT.
A cloudburst had washed the sand and
gravel roadbed, leaving the track unsup-
ported for stretch of twenty feet. The
rails and ties held together, and there was
nothing to indicate the insecurity of the
road The engine struck the washout and
was derailed in the ditch beside the track,
and behind it the cars were piled in con-
fused heap. The mail car tipped over and
was telescoped by the baggage car behind,
while the rear end of the baggage car in
turn telescoped the smoker The roof of
the sleeper ploughed its way through the
day coach, while the lower half Of the latter
crashed through the sleeper.
The engineer and fireman jumped from
the train and escaped with slight injuries.
DEATH INSTEAD OF \ WEDDING.
Mr.. Schwette, of Alton, H. was brought
to this city alive, but died at eight o clock.
He was badly cut about the head and it
was evident from the beginning that his
injuries were fatal. He was on his way to
Minneapolis, where he was to be married
today He asked his physician to tele-
graph his father and his sweetheart.
Tell her, he gasped, THAT | have
been detained by a wreck and cannot keep
the appointment on time. Don't say any

REMARKABLE NERVE.
i striking example of cool nerve and
fortitude was shown by VIII Scholliam, a
drummer for St Louis tobacco house,
who made his headquarters at Waterloo
He was found under passenger coach, his
arm crushed between the front end OF the
sleeper and the side Of the coach. He did
not lose consciousness, but begged that hIs
arm be sawed off so as to release him. II
was found that there was no possibility Of
releasing the unfortunate man in any other
way. 50 this was done. Scholliam gri;ted
his teeth and looked on while his arm was
amputated with common handsaw, not a
moan coming from the poor fellow a the
crude instrument tore its way through bone
and sinew. After he was released Scholllam
walked almost unassisted to a nearby farm
house. He was terribly weakened by lo~s

KID MCCOY KNOCKED OUT.
Mccormick Puts Him 10 Sleep I'm
One Round.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-,Iack Mccormick
of Philadelphia knocked out Kid Nc
Coy in two minutes and forty-Scven
seconds last night. The bout was TO
have been for six rounds, and IL was
generally thought that Mccormick
stood no show at all. He himself said
before entering the ring that he was
going to do his best and let it go Mt
that. The fight was so short and so
quickly over that there was almost
nothing TO it but the punch that put
Mccoy TO sleep. The fight was under
strict Queensberry rules, hitting with
one arm free permitted. When the
gong sounded Mccormick started in to
rush things, relying on his greater
weight and superior strength to offset.
McCoy's science. He received IA
straight left on the mouth the first
time he tried il and a second later
savage left hook on the side OF the
head halted him second time. He
then rushed twice more. carrying Me-
Coy TO the ropes DO II times. The first
time he hit Mccoy over the kidneys
with his right The second time, as
they came from the ropes still clinchcd,
Mccoy freed himself and sent hook
to McCOrmick's cheek. dropping him TO
the floor. The knock down did not
injure him in the slightest. The men
squared off once more and then came
the end like lightning from clear
sky. Mccoy was moving cautiously
around Mccormick. both hands low
down, neither being as high as the
belt Mccormick suddenly let fly his
right and 1t landed full on the jaw.
Mccoy went down like dead man,
fiat on his back, legs and arms out
stretched. his face pointing squarely to
the ceiling. 1t was evident the instant
he struck the floor that his fighting
was over for that night at least.
Pandemonium broke loose in the hall,
end there were wild yells for McCor-
mick, shrieks OF &c ct up Kid" Get
up" The instant Hogan shouted the
word that gave the fight to McCor-
mick the yelling in the hall increased
until it was deafening. The general
opinion seemed to be that Mccoy lost
the fight through an excess OF conf
dence. His easy knock down Of Nc
Cormick in the opening Of the fight
had given him an idea that he would
have it all his own way TO the finish,
and he was not as careful as he might
have been.
