Pennington, June 6.-At 7:15 a. m
today C. NJ. Aamodt, Salt Lake man.
who was employed on the Rio Grande
section at Woods Cross, fell beneath
the wheels of a slowly-moving work
train at Pennington depot and was ia
tally injured. Both legs were cut off
There is some mystery surrounding the
accident and those who were with the
train either did not witness it or for
reasons best known to themselves will
not state how it occurred.
This evening a number of the men
who were on the work-train were asked
concerning the matter and from the
best information obtainable it seems
that the accident was a result of not
understanding orders.
The Rio Grande workman loaded
with cinders, left Salt Lake for Og-
den shortly after 6 o'clock AT each
section the gangs of section hands
were picked up in order to assist in
unloading the cars in Ogden. The in
jured man was employed on the Woods
Cross section and was on the train
when it pulled into Pennington. 1t is
customary to wet the cinderS at the
Pennington water tank in order to
make the unloading less dusty, and just
before the tank was reached the train
was stopped and an order was given by
Charles Selby, who was in charge, for
the men to get off the cars while they
passed beneath the stream of water
from the tank. Aamodt was on the
second car from the engine and ap-
parently did not hear or did not COM
prehend the Importance of the order,
for he was on the car when the train
started forward. He seems to have
realized when he saw the stream of
water that he must get off or be
drenched and he jumped from the car,
but in doing so fell and rolled beneath
the wheels. He was horribly mansled.
AS soon as possible he was picked up
and placed on the car and run was
made to kaysville. Dr.. Gleason was
sent for and at the same time the Rio
Grande Western officials at Salt Lake
were notified. Before the Kaysville
doctor arrived at the depot orders came
from Salt Lake to bring him to the
city, and this was Immediately done.
While in Kaysville the injured man ex-
hibited great fortitude, while suffering
what must have been the most eXcru-
ciating agony. He was quite rational
and asked once for water. He seemed
to realize that he must die, but he
said he would not give up till he had
seen his wife.
His fellow workmen who bunk with
Aamodt at Woods Cross, relate a sin
gular story. 1t is to the effect that this
morning when Aamodt awoke he told
them that ne had had dream during
the night, and in it he seemed to have
been run over by a train, and he saw
that both legs were cut off. The dream
seemed not to impress him much.
The unfortunate man has been em-
ployed by the Western only few
weeks.
Aamodt was brought to this city

college song, was the first number, and
was sung by the students in such an
enthusiastic manner that the very

Fred Thompson of the class of '99, was

Walter Wallace sang very acceptably
a bass solo, Lord God of Abraham
In his address, 1.-The Aims of Life, y
William Wetzel of the class of 700 ably
contrasted the value of good common

vanity of wealth and striving for the
popular esteem.
Miss Nellie Boyer next gave a recita-
ton. "Lasla,' which was well rem
dered and received its merited ap-
plause.
The representation, by Hemming

digs at his fellow Students and a clever
forecast of what the future might
bring forth to each of them

State vs. Ike Newton, accused of ma
bitches and dams and thereby interfering
with irrigation at Marysyale. appealed
from Justice Durkee's court. Appeal dis
missed on motion of District Attorney
Chidester, and case sent back to lower
court for re-trial on account of irre-u-
larities having taken place there at the
trial before and in the appeal.
o. s. Holderman VS.. Chrystal Gold &

Judgment by default had been taken, ex-
ecution issued and levy made on certain
special appearance, c. w. Collins of
Richteld, for the company, moved to dis
miss the case without first moving to set
aside the judgment, on the ground that no
copy OF the complaint was either served
with the summons or left with the clerk
of the court for the defendant. The mo-
ton was argued at length and some evil
dence given, and the matter was taken
under advisement by the court.
In this case the defendant, Sheriff
Stocks, and d. ]. Frew, counsel for de-
PENDANT. have been cited to appear in cne
federal court at Salt Lake and show why
they should not be punished for contempt,
it being claimed that the property levied
upon was, at the time of the levy, adver-
of the federal court.
The defendant company in the last nam
ed suit brought suit against Holderman
and the sheriff TO enjoin the sale under
the levy and for 500 damages. but this
suit, after argument, was dismissed 1t
not appearing that the facts alleged.
even taken TO be true entitled plaintiff to
the relief sought.
The will of Archie Baird. deceased. was
admitted to probate and Martin Rein
heimer appointed executor.
The suit now on trial is over portions of
the water of City creek, a small stream
used for irrigation here. Plaintiff is Eliz-
abeth A. Anderson. plural wife of Charles
Harris, who claims one-twelfth of this
stream Defendants are Thomas y. VIII
son, John S. Boiler and John Morrill,, but
the pleadings all admitted their interest
to be nine-twelfths of the stream. so they
are practically now out of the case. so far
as the trial is concerned and evidence
now being offered is as to whether plain
tiff is entitled to one-tweifth of the stream
or that amount less a continuous stream of
40 cubic feet per minute of time. for
orchard and culinary purposes. which de-
PENDANTS, w. II. Mcintosh and wife, claim
in addition to their one-twelfth.
