STRUCK WITH A SANDBAG.
Bold Robbery Near the Heart of the
Civ

Charley Lane, a well known young
man of this city, was the victim of
bold robbery Monday night about
Z O'Clock. He is employed at the Hub
clothing store and at the time men.
toned he left the store by the back
door and Went through the alley to
the postoilice to mail some letters.
Near the rear steps of the Golden
Eagle saloon he saw a couple of men
standing in the shadow of the build
ing, but as it was quite dark at the
time he could not see them distinctly.
Paying no attention to them he
went to the postoftice and while
passing by the place where they
were standing on his return he was
suddenly struck just behind the left
ear with sandbag and rendered I'M
conscious. He does not know how
long he remained in that state, but
when he came to his pockets had
been rified and his assailants had dis
appeared. Fortunately he did not
have much money with him and the
bold robbers secured less than a dol
lar for their trouble.
Owing to the darkness he did not
secure a good look at his assailants
and it is not probable that they will
ever be captured. Later in the even
ing man was arrested in one of the
concert halls on the suspicion that
he was one of the men. but he was
afterW3rd eyonerated The affa;r
was one of the boldest that has ever
occurred in Kalispell and the men
who carried it through were evident
ly not afraid of taking desperate
chances. The scene of the holdup'
is practically the center of the city.
and the streets at that time of night
are always crowded with pedestrians.
Fortunately Mr.. Lane suffered no ill
effects from his rough experience and
was able to resume his duties at the
store Tuesday morning.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Conlon's Store Threatened by Ser
ious CONFEDERATION.


The department store of James
Conlon had a most narrow oroo,-
from being burned out Monday night
and it is owing to the fact that 'ho
danger was discovered in time that
a serious conflagration was averted.
In the dry goods department in the
center of the room is long table
covered with dress goods. which at
night is covered over with a light
cloth. Just above this table is large
arc lamp and from this the fire start
ed, Some time in the forepart of the
night a spark had fallen from the
lamp and lodged in the combustible
material on the table below. There
being no one in the store to notice
it. the spark smoldered and burned
through the light covering into the
dress goods.
About 1850 c. F. Lighthall, leav-
ing his store next door, passed by
Conlon's and had his attention at
tracted by the smoke and he proceed
ed TO investigate. The front door was
locked. but looking through the glass
he could see where the spark had
fallen and could see the spot being
gradually enlarged. Calling to his
assistance Policeman James Paul. the
latter was hoisted through the tran
som above the door and extinguished
the fire It was a most narrow es-
cape and the danger was discovered
none too soon. as in few moments
more the entire table would have
been ablaze.

WRECK
NEAR BELT0N
Two Heavily Loaded Trains
Crash Together.
NO LIVES ARE LOST
But the Train Crews Had Narrow Es.
capes-Saw Collision Was Inevitable
and Jumped in Time.
NO LIVES ARE LOST

Another bad freight wreck result
ing in the destruction of several ears
and wrecking two engines occurred
near Bolton Monday afternoon at q: sc
o'clock. Fortunately both engine
crews as we'll as the brakemen and
conductors mad time to jump and nc
lives We're lost, but some of the men
received slight scratches and bruises
The trains in the wreck were sec.
ord No. 10, east bound, in charge OF
Conductor Neary and Engineer Chas
Egan, and extra 724, west bound, in
charge of Conductor Brookhouser and
Engineer Suter. The extra west bound
had just come to a stop at the east
end of the Bolton switch to head in,
when the east bound freight, run
ming at rate of about 10 miles an
hour, suddenly hove in sight around
slight curve and crashed into the
engine of the west bound freight AS
stated when the train crews saw that
a collision was inevitable they jump
ed and escaped practically unhurt.
Both trains were heavy ones, Brook
houser's train being composed Of
about 25 cars, while Neary's was
made up OF about 80, and when the
heavily loaded cars came together the
crash was terrific.
The fact that the west bound
freight was practically at a stop multi
n 60 % = ;rso
what and strange as it may seem but
three or four cars were thrown in
the ditch, while about ten others were
badly stove up. the drawheads on
each being broken. The cars that
were in the ditch. however, were
smashed into small pieces and will be
a total loss. The debris from the
wrecked cars was scattered along the
track and traffic for time came to
complete standstill.
The wrecking crews from this city
were soon on their way to the scene
menced Immediately to clear the
tracks. In spite of the hardest kind
of work, however, it was almost /
o'clock Tuesday morning before
trains could pass. Both the east ana
west bound passengers were badly
delayed by the wreck. No. 3, west
bound, not arriving in Kalispell until
about 3 o'clock in the morning. No.
4. the east bound passenger, left Kali
ispell on time but was held for sew
eral hours at the scene of the wreck
Just how the wreck occurred is not
positively known, but it has been
stated that the train crew on second
No. 10 had orders to stop at Bolton
and wait there until extra 724 had
passed, but through some misunder-
standing this was not done and as
result the two trains came together.
While the wreck was a bal one, it
is awful to contemplate what would
have been the result if both trains
had been going at high rate of
speed. In that case the loss of life
would have been great and the dam
age to property would have been
enormous.

of the West that some steps be taken

QUICK TIME FROM HONOLULU.
Speedy Passage of Steamer Sierra
Under Difficulties.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 26.-The quick
time of twenty-one days from Sydney and
five days and thirteen hours from Homo
lulu. was made by the Oceanic Com
pany's steamer Sierra, which reached
port yesterday with many passengers and
English mails from the antfpodes.
First attention was given to getting
the mails ashore, in order to catch the
s o'clock overland train, the passengers
being detained on board until the last of
the 500 bags of mail was put off.
It is not the fault OF the Oceanic Com
pany that this mail viii not reach Lon
don in record time. or less than twenty
nine and one-half days. Il will reach
New York in time to be despatched on
the Cunarder Campania, next Saturday,
but connection could have been made if
the Campania sailed on Friday instead of
Saturday
The Sierra's good tirle was made, for
the most part, in the face of headwinds
and rough seas. The steamer left Homo
lulu at 9:2a, a week ago last night, half
an hour after the steamer DorfC had
sailed for this port, but the Occidental
and Oriental liner was soon distanced- The
Doris did not reach port until o'clock
D. m yesterday, too late to pass quar-
antine, and consequently did not land
passengers or mail until this morning

MAN PARBoILED IN a PIT.
Boafman Receives Fatal Injuries
While Seeking Shelter.

STAMFORD, Conn, Nov. 26.-John F
Hasseneau, a boatnan, met an awful fate
here Sunday evening Hasseneau fell into
a pit OF boiling water His body was prac-
tically parboiled and he died at the STAN
ford Hospital early yesterday morning
Hasseneau had come to the city from a
boat anchored in the harbor- big tide
prevented him reaching the place where
his boat was moored and he sought shell
ter at the Waterside mills. The pit at
the mills IS used for drying purposes.
and there are five large furnaces in it.
Water had entered the pit and was heated
to a boiling point by the furnaces
The clouds of steam rising from the pit
probably hid il from Hasseneau's view
He stumbled in, and before the men about
the place, attracted by his agonized
shrieks, could get him out he was badly
scalded.
Hasseneau leaves a wife and family
