THREE CARS PASSED OVER HIM But
NE ESCAPED WITHOUT A SCRATCH
THE MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF PETER HAGEN BRAKEMAN, WHO
FELL UNDER A TRAIN YESTERDAY

Hagen scramble to his feet from the
center of the track and walk away. 4
Hagen's experience under the cars
was exciting while it lasted He was
tumbled about by the brake rods and
beams, in momentary danger of being
dragged under the wheels The brake
rod Of the last car that passed. over him
caught in his clothing and dragged him
about thirty feet before the cloth gave
way. One wheel of the passenger coach
ran over a portion of his coat and cut
a large hole out of it. Hagens clothing
was torn to shreds. but he escaped
without a scratch. He had just time
to get a change of clothing and take
his regular run.
The accident is considered one of the
most remarkable that has ever occurred
in Butte: The space between the ground
and the brake beams and rods is only
about eight inches. and the trainmen
are at loss to account for the escape
of the brakeman after having three
cars pass over him. If the train had
been going the other way the hrebox
of the 0hgine would have crushed the
life out Of him in short order.

was sustained by Judge Clancy today.
and the plaintiff given until Monday
morning to file an amended complaint
The action is one in which the plaintiff
desires to be considered half owner in
the Metz quartz claim, located In the
hill not far from the old Colorado con-
centrator on the allegation that Metz
and himself had an understanding to
that effect several months ago. While
developing the property a very rich
streak of collaborating ore was struck,
and Metz is alleged to have made a
shipment and counted the other fellow
out. Then the latter brought suit TO
determine his standing in the property,
and had an order issued restraining
Metz from performing further work
pending the trial of the case. After
passing on the demurrer the judge or
dered the restraining order to remain in
force pending the filing of the amended
complaint. and required the plaintiff to
give a bond of $500.

the Chesapeake and vicinity, for there
has been a considerable advance in
oyster growing on the Pacific coast
Between 1887 and 1900 more than
eleven thousand tons of Eastern year
ling seed oysters were shipped to the
Bay of San Francisco for growth
1he time required for seed oysters to
become marketable is from two to four
years. The beds of tranpslanted ovs-
ters are enclosed by fences of closely
set stakes, which lessen the action of
the waves in these shadows, and the
success of the experiment has led to a
like effort at oyster transplanting in
Oregon. One New Haven firm is to
ship on April 10, 1000 bushels of two
lyear-old seed oysters to be planted in
lthe harbor waters of the Pacific on the
Oregon coast. The oysters are packed
in barrels and shipped in refrigerator
cars at a cost of 81 a bushel. The
freight charges will be the same. and

WANT RIVER IMPROVEMENT

The sale Of Petty's Island to a Mr..
Ross, of New York, was completed yes
terday. This large tract of land in the
Delaware river, just off Cramps ship
yard, is considered an ideal place fer
Ia shipbuilding establishment, but there
is nothing tangible yet on which to
base the rumor that it will be used for
that purpose. The purchase price was
about 5000 900 fer the 600 acres Of land.
The price paid and the proximity Of
the island to Cramps shipyard doubt
less started the rumor. Mr.. Ross seems
TO be unknown so far, and is Doubt

property at a reasonable Price. The
