TRAIN WRECK At SALT PALACE
MOST UNIQUE RAILWAY SMASH
UP ON RECORD.
Miniature Locomotive Ran Away and
Jumped the Track On a Curve
No One Hurt.

There was a railroad wreck last even
ing at the Salt Palace. The miniatures
railway, which has delighted the chill
dren for several days. had a smash-up
that laid it up for the evening.
| No one was injured, but that was
because no one happened TO be on the
track at the time. The accident was
caused by mischievous small boys who
had placed sticks on the track, and
who imagined that the wreck was one
of the funniest things they had ever
seen. But if the owner of the road
catches them he Will wreak vengeance
The little engine and train of four
cars running on a track with rails
nine inches apart has been doing quite
business. Many times yesterday IL
made the circuit, carrying a load each
time. When it started out last evening
with three ladies and four men on the
coaches the trip was made without in
cident until the east side of the track.
which is straight for 100 feet, was
reached
The engineer opened the throttle
little wider. to show what could be
done Suddenly the engine bumped; 1t
had struck the small boys sticks: it
raised up some inches above the track.
thus pulling out the bolt which was
fastened to the tender. to which the
coaches were coupled The engine, free
of its load, started onward with jerk
and the cars stopped.
The engineer. who regulates the speed
by pushing and pulling long iron rod
fastened to the throttle. occupies seat
on the first coach back of the tender
The forward lunge of the engine jerked
open the throttle and thus the full
speed was on. The little LOCOMOTIVES
rushed onward at a rate of twenty
miles an hour. leaving the train and
engineer behind. When it reached the
first curve il flew the track, rolling over
on one side, with the wheels revolving
with tremendous speed. The engine
plowed up the ground and might have
torn itself TO pieces, but one of the at
tendants rushed over and closed the
throttle. The cab was torn off and the
walking board was split
That ended the performance for the
evening, and the toy was put away for
repairs. The road will be in operation
today again, for the damage was not
great.

FIGHT ADDED TO 1T.
j. M. Wilson the Manager Believed
Fight Was Faxed, Hence Princi-
pals Get No Money.

The proceeds of the Bean-W eday
fiasco will go to the volunteer monu-
ment fund. Mr.. j. NJ. Wilson of Provo
who managed the event, came out with
statement yesterday, in which he
says he is perfectly satisfied with
Referee Stelzner'S decision, and as he
cannot refund the money to the spec
tators very easily, he will turn oven
the net proceeds, amounting to S205.50

states his position as follows:
In assuming the position as manager
OF this contest, l did SO with the usual
implicit confidence in Willard Bean
and Weday that the affair would be
honorable, fair and without a shadow
of shade OF dishonest motives on the
part OF either. BY reason of this con-
hdence l advertised and represented TO
the people what l believed would be an
honorable, exciting contest. After the
conduet of the principals in the ring
and the decision of the referee, l wish
TO sa-' that no one there present was
more surprised or chagrined than L.
l am thankful that the referee, Jack
Stelzner. was a man of sufficient ex-
perlence and honor to render his de-
clslon in the manner he did, as l feel
that the circumstances warranted the

the general public from being imposed

after consultation with some of the
prominent business men of this city,
ana considering that it would be an
linposslolilty for me to return to all
and each person who contributed to
TINS fund his money, and considering
lurther that more than One-half of this
money was contributed by persons
from Salt Lake City, Mercur and Eu-
reka, i have decided TO turn the re-
naming portion of this money over to
the executive committee of the fund
Tor the erection of monument TO the
IalIen volunteer heroes who died in the
service of their country in the Philip

Il do this believing that it will meet

who contributed this fund, but with
the approval of the people of the whole

Thunder storms and lightning are the

use that has SO far proven thoroughly
effective and is very simple. The atmos-
phere is impregnated by electricity of a
static nature or character and during
storms is spread over a large surface and
comes in contact with the wires and
causes the damage. To overcome this
ana arrest its progress we carry across

section. When the electrical atmospheric

ground without disturbing the line. This
device is also successfully employed and
