her county having elected a woman,
judgment should he pronounced in her

Train just Saved from Running Into q
Washout by Quick Action.

Eau Claire. Wis, June ia travel
ing man who arrived here yesterday
morning told of narrow escape which
a Duluth limited train had near Elroy,
in which the lives of many passengers
were at stake. The train which leaves
this city at 10 o'clock, going south, at
night. was brought to a sudden stand
still by Engineer Sullivan-so sudden
in fact. that it threw all of the passen-
gers out of their seats
1t was found that there had been a
washout on the track and that the en-
giueer had discovered ii in time to put
on the emergency brakes and stop the
train just about eight feet on the safe
side of the washout, or the train would
have been wrecked. 1t was going at the
rate of fifty miles an hour when the
danger was discovered and required
presence of mind and quick action on
the part of the engineer. The passen-
gers made up a purse of $50 for the en-
gineer and he has received word from
the railroad company's offices that he
will get a reward Of 5000 and a vacation
of sixteen days with pay.

In capturing gulls the sea lion dis
plays no little skill and cunning. When
in pursuit of gull. it dives deeply un-
der water and swims some distance
from where it disappeared; then. rising
cautiously. it exposes the tip of its nose
along the surface. at the same time
giving it a rotary motion. The unwary
bird ON the wing. seeing the object
near by, alights to catch it. while the
sea lion at the same moment settles be-
meath the waves. and at one bound
with extended jaws seizes its screaming
prey and instantly devours it.-Scien-
