The Burlington train from the east
was II hours late yesterday on &C
count of the partial derailment Of the
engine pulling the train, which oc-
Cured near Clearmont, Wyo., the
night before. The train was running
along at a high rate OF speed when

wheels and front driver were thrown
OF the rail and ran along on the ties
quite q distance before the train
could be stopped. The engine was
/ too badly damaged to pull the train

ing representative of the hobo trib}
was making a tour Of the residence
portion Of the north side begging. He
| called at several houses and at almost
each one received something. With
his pockets bullying with food he final

for a "handout." The proffered sus
tenance did not seem to suit him and
he became abusive. 1t happened neal
the home Of Policeman Mowre, VIII
was called and placed the insulting
beggar under arrest. Later he was
tried in police court and sentenced t.
do five days work on the streets
He also found fault with the fare o

vate an appetite for it before his re
lease.
