A terrible tragedy occurred in
Newton Saturday night. The 19-
year-old daughter of Conductor
Frank Beers was killed by a young
man of Newton, who afterwards
killed himself. The story heard here
of the killing was that the young
lady came by livery barn where the
young man worked and took him in
the carriage SO that he could take the
horse back to the barn. The girl
did not return home and finally a
searching party was sent out. About
four o'clock Sunday morning the
mutllated body of the girl was found
in grove near Conductor Beers
home.
She had been shot several times
and also had her throat cut. Near
her body was found the young man
He had evidently killed the girl,
afterward taking his own life It is
said that the young man had said
that afternoon that it was his last day
on earth The explanation of the
affair as heard here Is that he was in
love with the girl and finding that
she did not care for him and refused
to accept his attentions he had de
termined that both should die.

USING THE RAILROAD RAILS
FOR A CYCLING TRACK
A Travel of 1000 Miles

John and Willard Ward left Saturday
for Pennsy lvania. They will make the
journey TO that State and back to their
home in Mich igan. on bicycles, over the
railroad rails. by using what is known
s.raflroati attachments This device
is modern invention and its use is be-
coming general. 1t is a very simple ar
r1ngenlent. attached to the bicycle and
placed on the railroad rails 1t has been
iii Use about year The distance the
Wards will travel is about 1000 miles.
and they expect To make the run in two
weeks An average speed of 20 miles
ali hour is made, but sometimes high
as 40 miles is reached The travel will
be hindered some hat by reason of the
facs that they have TO get ont Of the way
of the railway trains. The danger of
accident is reduced TO the minimum
owing to the fact that the cycler can
quickly leave the rails. The wheel tire
rests one rail and the attachment ad-
justed to the opposite rail with a small
wheel with tiange Oh each side affords
n security in the running gear. Each
stroke of the pedal moves the rider
about fifteen feet, and the two strokes
sends the cycler forward in aud whirl of
the body distance of so feet.
1t is clear see with what rapidity the
rider can move, and an average of 200
miles day will be an easy task for the
cycler.
The Ward brothers came from Michi-
gan, John arriving here the winter
last. They will probably return here
next year. The tciity with which they
can travel, and al so little expense, leaves
out of question all considerations of the
difficulty of obtaining transportation.
Should this method of travelling become
comm on it is pI obable that railroad COM
panies will put bar to the of their
tracks for such purposes.
This mode of conveyance beats tramp
ing all hollow. The poseessor of wheel
has the advantage over the box tour
list, the blind baggage fiend, or the
more desperate cross bar preambulator
Tie genteel tramp the bicycle will
hardly evoltte from the griny and
greasy nomad. but he VIII be the impe-
canious young man who has more DARN 9
than cash, and employs The railroad at
tacilment to carry him safely and quickly
from state to state, and thus reducing dis
tance and time in the hope of keeping in
steady employment
What great strides have been made in
locomotion. within so years past?
1t is claimed that the railroad compa-
nies can not recover damages for the use
OF lnlS naCn1no Oh tDe1f Iallroad s.
unless actual damages can can be proven.
The rubber tires of the bicycle might
roll upon the steel rails for "a century
without injury to the rails.
Travellers, tourists, spnrtsmen, section
men, track walkers, line men and tele-
graph operators are using these attach =
ments 1t is easier running and more
simple than a railroad velocipede. The
rider can travel at night as easily in
the daytime. From so to 100 pounds of
baggage may be carried.
