Save the Train Behind! :!

In the editorial column of the even- ing edition of the New York World of September 2 is an article headed "CowARDs SCARCE, HEROES COMMON. |" The article starts with the assertion that "Brave deeds are common in these days. Evsry days accidents bring be- ross to the front" The article proceeds to cite two instances of heroism from tho record of the week. One instance ii reported as fellows:
 In last Wednesday smash-up on the Eric Railroad, near Arlington, the first victim dragged out of the wreck was baggageman named Riker. His leg was broken and he was seriously wound ed besides But as the rescuers lifted hin his first words were: First of all hang out your red flag. Save the train behindl" Not of his own life, but of the lives of others, this plain, everyday baggageman was thinking. That is heroisml
 The editor. of the NEWS feels con- strained to say that this instance of he- roism has it's counterpart in the temper ance movement. Not of their own lives, but of the lives of others, are tenn perance workers thinking. Their first thought is to warn others of danger They are trying to ''save the train be- hind"-trying to warn and to save the rising generation. 'An ounce of pre- vention is worth pound of cure, " and that is why it is more important to pre- vent young people from becoming drunkards that it is to try to reform confirmed inebriases. The army of drunkards would soon vanish were it's ranks not constantly recruited from the young people of the land. Without de- sire or intention to discourage any ef- forts being made to reform the drunk ards we would suggest that temperance workers adopt for their motto or watch word Save the Train Behind!' And what grand text or subject those four words are for temperance sermons
 In the journey of life, all in "the train behind" are young people. Who can comprehend or correctly estimate the possibilities for good or evil that are vouchsaied to every young person Who can fully comprehend the impor tance of warning young people of th' dangers of intemperance? Who car correctly foresee or fully appreciate th' results of young person taking thu right or the wrong course when starting on tho journey of life? Who can tel how much depends on the life of young person? Occasionally we get
 glimpse of the responsibility placed up on young people. and how heroicall. they bear that responsibility. Hymal Feltman is good illustration or exem plification of youthful heroism. Hi case is reported as follows:
 On Thursday . fourteen .year-old boy Hyman Feltman, left Bellevue Hospita in New York He was carried ther two months ago trolley -mangled, an, the doctors said he could not survive He heard it and said: Doctor, I mus not die, for who will take care of mothe if I do?" The doctors, moved by tn little fellows brave and earnest spirit made extraordinary efforts to save hi life, and pulled him through. Inquir showed that his mother, an invali father and four small children. were Q
 dependent on this maimed boys carr
 ings ss . messenger boy That ws
 why he said, II must not die." An there also spoke true hero.

will Probably BE Decided Upon by the
Capitol Commission.
The state capitol commission visited
Columbus, in this county, yesterday,
for the purpose of making more COM
plete investigation of the sandstone at
that place with view to using the
same in the new state capitol building.
There remains no doubt but what Bill
ings is out of the race. The Columbus
sandstone has proven of better quality
than that of Billings, after samples
from the two quarries had been ex-
amined by experts. The Billings stone
has about 80 per cent silesia and con-
tains soily substance, while that of
Columbus has "a per cent silesia and
stood better test.
The commission has not let the con-
tract for the stone. but it seems to be
the opinion of those interested in the
matter that the Columbus quarry will
get it. Mr.. Hager. one of the owners
of the quarry, has been at work for
month past with a force of men opening
the quarry up.

Judge Loud Sentenced Him to BE
Hanged May 10.
After considering the case twenty.
four hours the jury in the case of the
state VS.. Joseph @. Hurst, charged with
the murder of Dominick Cavanaugh,
sheriff of Dawson county. December 2S
last, agreed upon verdict of murder
in the first degree. The jury reported
to the court at Glendive at O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon that it had agreed
upon verdict. Unless a new trial
can be secured Hurst will have to pay
the extreme penalty upon the gallows.
His attorneys are very certain that they
will obtain another trial for him, and
have made the usual motion to that
effect. This has been one of the most
bitterly contested murder trials in the
eatern part Of the state since the IA
nous Geddes trial.
1t is said that very few persons ex-
pected verdict of this kind, as the
opinion was held that no person could
be convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree in Dawson county. The verdict
was, therefore, a surprise, but from the
evidence produced the jury could not do
otherwise.
q The case was closely followed by
crowded court rooms every session and
the attorneys for the defense, Messrs.
G. X. Middleton, H. j. Haskell and
George Myers, left no stone unturned
to clear Hurst, while the states attor-
neys, Thomas G. Holmes and Streyell

Charley Seaman. Formerly of This County,
Killed by HIS Own Hand.
Word was received here yesterday to
the effect that Charles J. Seaman,
formerly of this county, committed
suicide in Collins. this state, Tuesday,
by shooting himself with pistol whose
muzzle he had placed in his mouth.
Seaman is we'll known here, having
worked for David Fratt until year
ago, when he went into Teton county,
where he bought ranch and about
5000 head Of sheep. He was a man
Of about 40 years of age.
No adequate cause for the suicide is
given. although it is said that he bad
been worrying great deal Of late
about survey for county road which,
would divide his ranch badly; also
about the loss Of some sheep and the
continued cold weather.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Geo. Treischman Cuts Her Throat

with a Butcher Knife.
Tuesday evening at about 6 o'clock,
Mrs Geo. Trieschman, living on North
Twenty sixth street, north Of the Bur
lington tracks, was found lying in her
barn with horrible knife wound in
her throat. She was discovered by her
son. boy about II years of age, who
had gone to the barn to take the milk
bucket to his mother. The little fell
low at once ran to II. s. Hammond's
and told the gentleman that his man.
ma had been hurt. A few minutes
later W. E. Hassler, who is also
neighbor, was at the scene and assisted
Mr.. Hammond III carrying Mrs.
Treischman into the house, placing her
on the bed. DR.. Rinehart arrived al
most simultaneously, having been sum-
moned meanwhile. He at once pro-
ceeded to examine the wound, finding
that although the jugular vein had not
been severed, two small arteries had.
These were tied up and the wound,
about five inches in length, was then
sewed.
While doing the surgical work, DR..
Rinehart, who was of the opinion that
the woman was in precarious condi-
tion, talked to her asking if she had at
tempted her life or if some other person
had done SO. Although in senli-un-
conscious state from the loss of much
blood, Mrs. Trieschman said that she
bad been dragged into the barn by q
man and her throat cut. An examina-
tion of the barn showed no evidence of
there having been struggle Of any
kind and the fact that the young son
had found the bloody butcher knife on
the floor near where his mother had
laid, was enough to convince one that
Mrs. Trieschman, while mentally un-
balanced, had attempted to end her
life. This developed later. for
Wednesday forenoon, when DR.. Rine-
hart called to dress the wound, Mrs.
Treischman acknowledged having COM
mitted the deed, saying that she was
angry with herself. She has success
fully passed the crisis and is now on
the road to recovery
Mr.. Treischman, who is master
mechanic at Fort Yellowstone. in the
Yellowstone National park, was
notified and arrived here today.

Low scores are marking the closing
games of the New Jersey Bowling AS
ISOLATION tournament at Schocks Alleys
Hoboken. Last night a schedule series
was bowled, but there were very few peo-
pie on hand to witness the sport and the
interest is dying. There is good cause
of lack of interest when such scores as
were made last night are seen in a tourn-
amen for championship honors. Tne
Recreations now have the honor or nav
ing made the lowest score of the tourna-
ment. This feat was accomplished last
night when the five men on the team
made a total of 522 pins, probably the
worst game that has been seen TINS sea-
son anywhere in a league.
The first game brought the Recreatlons
and Hobokens together and it was a close
race throughout. From the opening every
inch was desperately fought for ana al

The two winners were then arrayeu

far as scores were to be considered, out
the two were about evenly matched ana
It was a hard struggle with both sioes
unable to take a lead that would give
them hope. At the opening OF the tenth

were worth just twenty-five pins more
than the Merry and they won by nat
margin. Meissner was high with liz Ihe

The Neptune Wheelmen and the Ger

teams last night in the Intercity Bowling
League tournament at Edinger's alleys,
and they drew a fair sized crowd The
games were very good so far as hot con-
tests go. The bowlers were all in good
form and they hit we'll.
The first game was the best OF the
three. 1t was a close run all through 10
the seventh frame, when the Neptune
Wheelmen got their second wind and went
in for a strong finish. They were too
much for their opponents and closed up
the game with a lead of 36 pins. Cox was
high with 1874.
The second game was quite a surprise,
as the Neptune team fell off badly, while
the Germanias put up an excellent game.
The latter made a runaway race of 1t
from the start and the finish saw them
143 ahead. Pagelow's 200 was high.
The Neptunes then pulled themselves
together and opened with such excellent
work that the Germanias were rather
ratified and could do nothing. The wheel
