Butte, Mont, Feb. IA thrilling
and disastrous runaway of freight
train on the Northern Pacific railway
occurred yesterday morning on a
branch running to the mines on the
hill above Butte. An engine and
train crew consisting OF Engineer
John NJ. Harden, Fireman Smith and
Brakemen William Fielder and Pat
rick Cahill were pulling four cars
loaded with lumber and mining tim
bers to the Alice mine in Walkerville,
about mile above the city. To reach
the mine the road climbs and winds
along the hill for distance Of about
three miles. When near the top of
the elevation the engine began to slip.
The air-brakes were applied, but
failed to work, and before the hand
brakes could be reached the train
had acquired such momentum in its
backward fight down the mountain
that nothing could check it. The
train went SO fast that all the lumber
and timbers were scattered as by
cyclone along the track. Brakeman
Fielder was thrown off by flying
timber and his head crushed to a
mass. Cahill was also knocked off,
but escaped with slight injury. The
engineer remained at the throttle un-
til the engine jumped the track. The
engine turned over and Harden was
caught under it and seriously, if not
fatally injured. The freight cars re-
NAMED on the track for a distance
of three miles, over which they flew
across streets and through the resi-
dence portion of the town like light
ming, and finally jumped the track
and piled up on mining dump.

The Boxing Contest Very Uncertain.


Cincinnati, Feb. 14.--There is every
indication that the proposed boxing
contest will not be pulled off at Saen-
gerfest hall tomorrow night. There
is now as much doubt about time and
place, and especially the time as
there is about the decision of Judge
Hollister that is to be rendered to-
day, 1t is conceded that If Judge
Hollister grants the application for a
permanent injunction the postpone
ment will be for some weeks, so as to
give time to carry the case through
the supreme court for final settle
ment. If Judge IIollister shall refuse
an injunction on any grounds the
postponement is not likely to be for
more than one week and it may be
only to the first of next week.

National candidates had best not be
threshed out too far ahead of time
lest they may not suit the ideas, but
it is imperative, it is important, it is
paramount that we should keep the
atmosphere around our own political
hearthstone pure and at least demo
cratic. Let US see to it that no insid-
ious republican poison is injected into
the body polite in the name of de-
mocracy.
We want no scatter shots in that
fight; no meteor-like flashlights to
lead US into the space of political OBJ
livion, but the old time principles
with true sons behind them, and then
the rank and file as the real progress
i've democracy will march forward,
along with the other democratic
States Of the Union to national victory
in 1904.
The grand old ship of State is not
wrecked: she only rocks and rolls in
the trough of dangerous sea, wait
ing for her true sons to steer her safe

"Fear not each sudden sound or
shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
Tis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale.
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore, 2
Sail on old Ship, nor fear to breast
the sea,
Our hearts, our hopes are all with

Our Faith triumphant DER our fears,SS
Are all with thee, are all with thee -
