ALMOST A COLLISION
Between y Burlington Passenger and
Freight Train-Conductor Zol-
lin9er n HArn.

On Saturday last the Burlington
station agent ut Rockford neglected t6
give the north-bound passenger trein
orders to "head in at Nahant" and
wait for the south-bound freight. Con-
sequently Engineer Sarver and Con-
ductor Zollinger, of the passenger,
continued their run for JDeadwood.
The Pioneer-Times, in referring to En-
gineer Sarver regarding their narrow
escape, said: "After fhe had climbed
we'll up the grade, pc saw the freight
train tearing doT'6 the grade towards
him, not GOO fee& away, evidently try
ing to make Nahant ahead of the pas
$ senger. HeIapplied the air and threw
his reverse eflever clear over, and told
MS firemS.n to jump, at the same time
giving THE alarm with the whistle. The
freight train was by crossing at the
time 9snd raising a fearful cloud of
dust, }so that the cab of the engine was
ALMOST obscured.
Nhere was no answer from the
frie ght engine and MIR. Sarver stepped
down on the gang way to be ready to
Jump in case he saw that the trains
had to come together He had ON "a
greasy glove and when he motioned to
the postal clerk to jump his hand
Slipped and he fell headlong to the
ground. Both trains were finally stop
ped. Those who saw 1T say it was
marvellous stop for both engines.
",r here is no blame attached to any
one save the station agent at Rockford,
who forgot to deliver the orders to the
passenger train when it pulled in."
We understand that when the trains
came to standstill the engines were
just 30 feet apart. Engineer Sarver
having fallen off his engine could not
get back on again before the train be-
gan to run rapidly back down hill, the
throttle having been reversed to bring
1t to stop as quickly as possible.
Conductor Zollinger at once realized
the situation and saw that the whole
passenger train was backing down the
track at a terrific speed, and to distruc-
oiou ~ soule oHe ulu uot seI dC tue
throttle in the engine. He therefore
clined over the mail car and tender,
grabbed the throttle and brought the
train to stop in hurry. 1t was a
most praiseworthy act for which the
passengers of that train must indeed
feel profoundly grateful to Mr.. collin
ger-and indeed his friends here are
proud of his nervy act.

Court still Grinding.

Judge MCGEE has not yet decided
the cases as to the legality of the taxes
of 1891 and other years.
The case of Black Hills Development
Co. VS.. j. L. Baker occupied Saturday
and Monday. It is very complicated
case in which there are several inter-
ested parties. The trial is over the
rent due on the stucco plant, Mr..
Baker claiming an offset considerably
greater than the amount of the rent
for improvements he made as permit
ted by the lease. The court has this
case under advisement.
The horse case of Brady VS.. Shirley
was on trial Tuesday and Wednesday,
in which thirty-tiv witnesses we're en-
amined. After being out three or four
hours the jury returned verdict in
favor of Shirley this being his second
jury verdict.
The state cases brought against VIM.
and August kohrdt were dismissed,
there not being sufficient evidence ob-
tainable to got trial. Four or five hun
dred dollars gone for naught
A new criminal case has been dock
eted, the State VS.. Fred Pulver, for the
alleged larcency of saddle. Pulver
has made complaint against John Ham,
ilton (colored), better known as Skip"
of Edgemont, claiming that he (pulver)
bought the saddle of Hamilton.

Beat the Rising Moon

The STAR has received from General
Passenger Agent Francis a copy of
SLOW the Greyhounds of the Burling.
ton Beat the Rising Moon," a story
written for the Burlington Route by
Mr.. Will b. Hunter, railroad editor of
the Chicago Times Herald to commem-
crate the part taken by this company
in the inauguration o. the now fast
mail service across the continent the
first of the year. The suthor was on
the initial run of the Bullington's fast
mail train, riding in the engine cab
most of the way, and in a highly en-
tertaining fashion he tells of what he
saw and heard during that ride.
The transcontinentalm mail, both east
ward and westward, is carried by the
Burlington Route between Chicago
and Council Bluffs, and has been since
March IL, 1854. In all it's journeys
across the continent the mail is carried
in the fastest time by the trains of the
Burlington. The average time for the
new mail service between New York
and San Francisco is 81 miles an hour,
but the scheduled time of the Burling-
ton fast mail is 48. miles an hour, or IL
miles an hour faster than the average
time from ocean to ocean. OF course,
this time is inclusive of all stops. FIRE.
quently the Burlington fast mail has
run from 80 to 80 miles an hour to
make up for lost time through delayed
connecting trains. On the night of
February II it covered the 500 miles in
8 hours and II minutes full time, and
in 8 hours and "A minutes actual rum
ming time. This is the fastest time
ever made by any railroad between
Chicago and the Missouri river.
Since the government asked the Bur-
lington to shorten it's running time,
the new fast mail train, known to rail-
readers as No. Is, has failed only three
times to make It's scheduled time, while
several times it has made up more
than an hour lost by connecting lines.
The second daily fast mail of the Bur-
lington, carded as No. Z, has been late
only once since January 1. Such q
record for the first IS days of the year,
embracing period unequalled in
stress and storm, when the difficulties
of the most faithful train-men were in.
creased hundred fold, illustrates the
achievements possible in these end of
the century days, on railroad
equipped with the best road bed, roll.

A Close Call.

Jas. Dinan, section foreman of the
Elkhorn road at Wayside, near the Ne
braska line, was caught by the north

while in the act of taking his hand car

and knocked him off to one side of the
track in badly demoralized condition.

cessfully carried and dropped messages
between two moving warships yester-
day. The naval test at sea proved that
within radius of 81 miles messages

proved that hills, high buildings and
