LOCOMOTIVE DERAILfD
Passenger Engine Jumps the Track
Pilot Badly Smashed.

ocomative No. 50, drawing the pass
enger train from Bennett, was derailed
while passing over frog in the wards at
the north end OF town last evening. The
train was running eight to ten miles an
hour. The engine plunged forward on the
ties some fiftv feet, and suddenly turning
to the lett thrust the pilot under the rails
of parallel track.
The parallel track was struck with such
impact that the pilot buried deep in the
ground. AT the same time the pilot was
smashed to splinters, and the track that
was struck was lifted from its place and
ties and all thrown out of alignment sew
eral feet.
Engineer John Olson, who was at the
throttle, remained at his station, and
stopped the engine before further damage
could be done. The engine stood upright,
and on the whole was little damaged.
Fireman Joseph Marsh jumped from the
engine, and fell to the ground razed, but
recovered after minute. His foot caught
on the apron of the tender. and the engine,
swinging about, pinched Marsh slightly
against the tender as he was passing
through the gangWay.
None of the coaches left the track, and
the few passengers aboard walked into
town. A crew of Workmen were immedi-
ateIv put IN work to replace the engine on
the track.

with my partners on claim when we

and, looking up, discovered a man ly-

while his assailant was trying to es-

ability. Without stopping to pick up
the injured man we gave hot chase to
the one trying to escape, whom we

W zen you open up your newspaper,
1t may cause you to feel some wonder
if you know that in all probability
yours are the first hands that have
ever touched its inside pages. The
reason for this is that the paper is
made from wood pulp. The woodman
cuts down II spruce tree. 1t is hauled
to the mill. There machinery strips off
the bark. reduces the wood to pulp and
makes it into paper.
At every turn cranes. derricks,
chains, cogs. rollers, steel teeth and
other mechanical contrivances keep the
material out of human hands. The
immense rolls are wound by machines,
loaded into car and wagon by ma
chinery, put into pressroom and on
presses by other machinery and finally
printed and folded without having been
directly touched by any human hand.
This is mechanical marvel of TO-
day which is no doubt duplicated in
other branches of industry. 1t is very
striking in the newspaper industry,
which stands in the very front rank of
mechanical perfection.-St Louis Post

He Obeyed the Judge.

over a score Of years ago Judge Fitz-
gerald was appointed to the bench Of
the district that includes Pima and
Cochise counties, in Arizona. He found
on coming to Tucson that formality
was almost unknown in the courtroom.
If the days were warm, the attorneys
and attendants dispensed with coats.
This to him appeared particularly dis
respectful. He announced that smok-
ing in the courtroom would not be toll
Grated and that coats must be worn
under pain of the courts displeasure.
The grand jury was called. Among
the jurors summoned was a brawny
miner, who appeared in his usual CO.'S
tune, dark blue shirt and overalls.
What do you mean," Numbered the
magistrate, "by appearing in this court
room in your shirt sleeves? Where is
your coatY
"At home, judge" mildly returned
the juror.
'"Then go and get it! No, not a word,
sir!' glaring down upon the man as
he attempted to speak. go home and
get your coat, sir, or I'll commit you
for contempt"
The miner went silently out. He
didn't return that day nor the next,
and the judge, after issuing bench
warrant for him, swore in another
juror. About two weeks thereafter the
original miner, dressed as the court de-
manded, again stepped within Judge
Fitzgerald's range Of vision. To the

CITIZENS TO SHOOT.
Talk of Organizing a Rifle Team
In Skagway.

Several of Skagwav's lovers of the rifle
are talking of organizing shooting club.
The success in the shooting match the
Fourth of july has revived longing for
an organizations Those who are foremost
in the agitation Of the matter feel that
should they organize perhaps more than
one team should be formed, probably one
from among the soldiers. and that regular
matches could be held.
In considering the matter of range it
is thought the best place would be on the
beach at the mouth of the river A 100
yard range could be easily arranged there.
