James MeKibbin of Marion, Kan, SOL

from an over-indulgence Of liquor or the
effects of a very serious accident, it was
hard to distinguish which. He was rid

due here at oclock, and it was said he
was very drunk when the train pulled
into the yards. The section foreman who
saw the man fall, stated that he saw
the fellow knocked from the car and light
on the end Of a tie. Others confirm this
story, saying he was knocked from the
car by a tramp with whom he had been
quarreling. The tramp as he passed Nc
Kibbin nit him a blow which sent him
sprawling from the car at a point near
the oil house on Oak street. G. II. Rowe,
car repairer for the Rock Island, found
the man lying in the mud with his face
downward and apparently unconscious.
His face was literally covered with mud
and he was a bad-Iooking sight. ar.
Rowe said he would have died in a few
minutes more from strangulation. The
pdtIOl wagon was called ana the man
was taken to the city hospital. While
being lifted into the wagon the soldier
had TWO fits and the froth issued from
his mouth. The attendants thought ne
would die before they could get him to
the hospital. When DR. Cave, of the hos
pital force, called to see NcKibbin, he
could find no evidence of injury result
ing from the fall, but said the mans
resernbled delirium tremens,
resulting from a continued drunk and he
ordered McKibbin taken to the city jail
DR.. Cave said that after McKibbin So
bered up 1t might be possible to find out
whether or not he was injured in the spine
at the time of the fall. McKibbin mutter-
ed constantly to an imaginary person
whom he called Tom, and talked IRA
uonally about an election.
AT a late hour last night the man was
not able to give an account of himself, |
and it was thought his condition was more |
serious than at first supposed.
After the policemen had delivered the |
injured man to the hospital they investi- |

the train had pulled out Of the city, and |
no trace of such a person could be found |

JACK HELENA EXPLAINS
Why He Didn't Let the Folks Know
Where He Was

A special to the Eagle from Ell Reno
says Of Jack Helena:
Jake Soohn received a letter yesterday
from mis- brother Roy, who is ar Oakdale.
The letter says that Jack Helena is at
Oakdale having arrived there a few days
ago. He states the reason why he did
not write to his family was that he was
obliged to ride quite a distance out in the
country to look Up a buyer for the crib
of full corn he purchased from Mr.. Msr-
Ger. He further says he did not know Of
the hue and cry that was raised on &C
count Of his disappearance, not having
had any means OF hearing about or writing
to his friends. Helena and Sohn have
erected a business house at Oakdale and
are going to make that section OF coun-
try their home.

The State House Fence.

The committee appointed by Mayor Senter
of Montpelier to act with the state committee
in arranging for the reception to Admiral
Dewey held an important meeting Thursday
evening.
The Legislature of 1898 passed law au-
thorizing Sergeant-at-Arms Phinney to re-
move the State House fence, provided that
enough can be realized from the sale of the
iron and granite to pay for its removal and
for grading the grounds. The desirablity Of
having this fence out of the way before Dew
ey day is apparent to every member OF the
city committee.
The question of railroad transportation was
discussed at length. A fare and one-third
for the round trip is the best rate that has yet
been offered by the Central Vermont. This
would make round-trip ticket from Rutland
81 40, from Bennington $5, with proportion
ately high rates from all distant points in the
state. The matter of transportation is in the
hands of the state committee and the city
committee considered it discourteous to take
any action, but several members of the city
committee expressed themselves in favor of
abandoning the state celebration, if no lower
railroad rates can be secured, and make Ad-
mral Dewey's reception local affair, with a
reception, banquet, etc. In comparison with
excursion rates from all points in Vermont
that have been in force during this month
and which are still advertised, round-trip
rate of a fare and a third to Montpelier tor
Dewey day seems to both state and city COM
mittee to be needlessly high.

Locking Up at Gibraltar.

Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibral
tar is the daily procession at shutdown
for the locking of the town gates. The
keeper of the keys, looking very like
prisoner despite his uniform, marches
through the town in the center of a
military guard preceded by a regi-
mental band which plays inspiring
and familiar tunes. The keys, of enor-
nous size, are borne aloft before him
as an outward and visible emblem of
the vigilance of Britain in guarding
her prime military treasure.
On arriving at the gates the guard
salutes, the martial strains strike up
with redoubled paean Of triumph,
while the great Doors slowly swing to
and are solemnly locked for the night.
Then right about turn, and the pro
cession marches back to the convent to
deposit the keys in the governors keep
ing, conveying by its passage an assur
ance to the people and garrison thai
they may rest in peace.
once the gates are shut it were cas-
Ter for camel to pass through the eye
of needle than for any unauthorized
person to go into Gibraltar. Even a be,
lated officer returning from pig stick
ing beyond the lines would be con
fronted by so many formalities and the
necessity of inconveniencing so many
high personages that he would prob
ably prefer to encounter the discom'
Tort Of Spanish inn without.

Many years have elapsed since so large
