Eye.

How'd you like to be the iceman?'
j. W. Sproat, who drives an ice-wagon,
in which the little wiry Chinese officer
came out second best One of his eyes
is in mourning and the other is weeping
constantly. For once in his career as
preserver of the peace little Apana,
herculean strength contained in his
muscles, was knocked out.
He was knocked down by bigger
man than himself, but Apana explains
his defeat by stating that he was TAX
en- unawareS. That must have been the
reason, for Apana is known as hard
hitter. Sproat was once a member OF
the mounted police force. He is pow
erful man, an athlete, and holds a rec
ord for a standing jump. Since he left
the finest" and took to delivering ice
his athletic ability has not decreased
a whit. Yesterday he was on his
rounds. His hardest work consists in
pushing the reins attached to his
steeds, while the youngsters who carry
the small and quickly melting slabs OF
CONCEALED water, do the real work of
running around to the back doors of ice
users.
AS usual thing the boys are Portu-
guese. The kind that have faculty
of swearing on the least provocation,
and who swear when they are not
thinking of anything else. Apana hap
pened along about the time string of
oaths issued from youngsters mouth
and he made dash at the boy, told
him to use choicer language when in
the vicinity of the AGO." and gave n
lecture on the lines of Judge Wilcox's.
The boy, however, took exception to
Apana's authority to lecture and sass
ed him and told him to go to a warm
er place than he would find around
Sproat's ice-wagon.
Apana then grabbed the boy by the
seat of the pants and cuffed his ears
Sproat came to the rescue. Apana
thought, as a former member of the
force, that he was about to congratu-
late him for his course-when suddenly,
biff, biff, biff-and Sproat's right and
left fists played the stars and Stripes"
on Apana's countenance, and Apana
went down in a heap. When he recov-
cred his equilibrium warrant was
sworn out for Sproat's arrest, and later
in the day that worthy was apprehend-
ed and taken to the station house.
Apana will exhibit his many-hued eye
to Judge Wilcox this morning.

the whole community.
At the time of going to press the
full extent of the littla fellows in

The blast tore off the index and

that may possibly prove unnecessary.
There were splashes of powdsr burn
ed into the boys face all oyer, in
dicating that the explosion was very
close to him and that the injuries
were net inflicted by a chance shot
from a gun.
Up to latest accounts the youthful
sufferer has not been able to explain
how the accident occurred, insisting
that he had nothing but a match in his
hand, but the generally accepted theory
is that he had a powerful cartridge
filed with Illuminating powder, or a
giant cap in his hand. and in some
manner exploded it. He is getting

Easttsund passengers waited until
4:5O p. m. yesterday for No. 4, due at
11:45 a. m. The delay was due to a
wreck that occurred early in the morn
ing near Table Rock which is between
Rawlins and Green River.
A helper engine that was backing
down the hill at that point collided
with a moving freight train, with the
usual result. Engineer Brown. and a
fireman. name unknown, are reported
to have been badly hurt. though the
.xact extent Of their injuries was not
known when No. 4 left. Brakeman
Winning was slightly hurt. It is
stated that the damage to property
was not large. but the main line was
blocked to traffic for several hours.
Additional particulars of the wreck
received today show that it was
caused by the misunderstanding of an
order, the responsibility for which
has not been fixed.
The collision occurred at 4:30 a. m.
between a SPECIAL freight coming east
and a helper engine going west. D.
A. Brown, engineer of the freight, was
terribly mangled about the breast and
abdomen and it is said he cannot pos
sibly live.
Peter Hanson, the fireman on the
freight engine, had his head badly
crushed but there are chances for his
recovery. Brakeman Winning was
severely bruised but was able to walk.
The three men all belong on the Sew
enth district. They were brought to
Bitter Creek on M. 4 and there trans
ferred to No. 1 and taken back to the
Rock Springs hospital
The two engines were demolished
A wrecking train vas sent out from
Gre:n River and was six hours clear
ing the track.
A special to the Cheyenne Tribune
from Rawlins says: "An unknown
man, who, for the past few days has
been lettering around the round house
in this city, was crushed to death this
evening. He was in the act Of crawl
ing under a locomotive standing near
the round house when the driving rod
of the engine fell on him and crushed
his breast in. His death was but a
question of a few minutes. No one
knows who the man is or any facts re-
