Cheyenne, Wyo. Especial. 1.-TWO
percheron stations, imported from Eng

fast stock train on the Union Pacific.
One was killed, the car was smashed
into splinters, and Edgar Boise, the
owner of the animals, lost $500, the
value of his horses.
The two keepers of the animals had
to climb outside to escape the hoofs and
teeth of the Infatuated animals. When
they succeeded in apprising the train
men of the battle, a side track was
reached and every effort was made to
separate the animals, but finally one sew
cred the jugular of its rival, which bled
to death.

I diately before my eyes. Suddenly I
saw the machine rise in the air; it
seemed to me to be about as high az
the telegraph poles in the city. Then
came a cloud of dense black smoke and
dust, which hid the engine from view,
and almost simultaneously heard
the roar of the explosion.
Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed and the locomotive was fit
for nothing much but the scrap heap
when it fell to the ground. The crown
sheet over the fire box had blown out.
The strange thing about the explosion
was that no white steam was seen.
You know that perfectly dry steam Is
invisible, being like the air, and before

official report he made to his govern

he fired his guns until there were no
gunners left to fire them, passed, when
his ship was shot from under him, to
another; watched his little squadron go
to the bottom around him, and in the
end, when the fight was done, he re-
treated indeed, but as lion does, his
face to the foe. The account is infinitely

Roosevelt Is Left Out.

The President has approved, with
one notable exception, all the recon-

Board, of which General Macarthur
was president, for the bestowal of brevet
rank on all the officers of the army who
rendered especially meritorious services
during the war with Spain and in the
subsequent campaigns in the Philippines
and China.
The exception noted is the case Of
Theodore Roosevelt, who was awarded
the brevets of colonel and brigadier-
general for distinguished services at San
Juan, Santiago. Under the law these
brevets require the confirmation of the
Senate, and the nominations have been
made out for transmission to that body,
but, as already stated, the list will not
contain the name of the President.
