LAYING Of TRACkRESUmED
Northwestern Takes Up Its Work
A0ain at Sloan

The Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company has resumed
the laying of heavy steel upon
the old Sioux City & Pacific track,
where the work was left off last

that time had beea laid to Sloan
from the Northwestern yards in
Sioux City, It now will be laid
from Sloan to Mondamin, and then
a little later on, from Mondamin
to Missouri Valley, which will
give a track of heavy steel all the
way from Sioux City to Chicago
and to Omaha. The old steel
weighs sixty pounds to the yard,
the new steel seventy-fve. Fifty
men are at work laying the track,
which is being done under the
supervision of the roadmaster cf

"Most matters of that kind had
better be left to good sense and
wisdom of the individual; but
law that only compels the atten-
dance of child between Z and IA
years of age at school for fourteen
weeks per year, and provides for
letting the parents choose private
school, cannot become very
harmful proposition.

Clure and Mrs. Fournier were assist
ed in reaching terra frma, but little
the worse for their experience. In
falling into the ditch the buggy had
turned upside down and the horse, by
some strange occurrence, had reversed
his position in the shafts.
As Mrs. Furnald could not be found
by those who were the first upon the
scene of the tragedy it was feared
that she was pinned down by the
weight of the buggy, and later de-
velopments proved that this theory
was the correct one. The lunging of
the horse to get out removed the
buggy from the place where it had
first dropped into the ditch and Mrs.
Furnald's cape fioated upon the sur
face of the water, affording the
searches clue to her position.
She as lifted out upon the bank in
an unconscious condition and after
slight gasp was dead, having died be-
fore the arrival of the physician who
was summoned as soon as possible
after the accident took place.
The unfortunate woman, as we'll
As those who had been her compan-
ions on the fatal drive, were taken
to their homes where the living were
made as comfortable as circumstances
would permit, both of whom had sus-
tanned severe shock by reason of the
untimely end of Mrs. Furnald.
Mr. Mcclure was confined to his
bed the following day in consequence
of some slight bruises he had sustain
ed, but was in no wise the worse for
his exposure, which was of an ex-
tremely disagreeable character.
So far as we have been able to as
certain there was nobody to blame in
the matter, the occurrence resulting
from one Of those unavoidable scci-
dents for which no one seems to be
responsible. There was no apparent
negligence or culpability on the part
of Mr.. Pauls, as all witnesses agree
that ne drew his automobile up on
one side of the road with the intention
of leaving the street clear for other
vehicles to pass.

THE VOTE WARMING UP IN
LODGE SECRETARY CONTEST

is over we expect the contest to boom.
Quite bunch of votes are in, many
having come in during the past few
days. A whole lot of votes are being
cot out OF The Record and saved by
friends of candidates.
1t is wise to help push your ia
vorite mp early in the game. II is an
advantage to be among the leaders
In politics the successful politician
always claims everything and shows
mp as much to prove his claims as
much as possible.
Votes are had by clipping the
coupons from The Record--5 votes on
each coupon; by paying on subscrip-
tiou. 300 votes for each year paid ;
aud by getting your friends, who are
not taking The Record TO subscribe
500 votes to each new subscriber, who
pays for one year.
While it's the subscription payment
and new subscriber that get the big
vote certificates, vet no one should
despise or overlook the little coupon
In the paper Each coupon counts
only five votes, bat each week we
print about 1900 copies of The Rec
ord. making 1900 votes. Ii will pay
to save all the coupons you can fnd.
This is proving TO be an interesting
little contest. Hardly over dozen
men ARE eligible, yet nine or ten
stand absolutely an equal show. The
race will not be between two or three.
but between nine or ten popular
fellows.
We expect the order of the contest
ants TO change number of times in
the next few weeks and the first may
be last and the last first in several
succeeding issues.

ONE DEATH RESULTS FROM
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

One of the saddest accidents that
has occurred in this city for some
time took place near the river, on
South First street about O'Clock last
Monday afternoon, in consequence of
which Mrs. Kate G. Furnald of 7o1
Rudd avenue lost her life. The
story OF the unfortunate affair as re-
lated to the Record by an eye-wit-
ness is substantially as follows:
''w. Fl. Mcclure, president of the
Canon City Savings bank, in company
with Mrs. Furnald and Mrs. Emily
Fournier, of 515 College avenue,
started to drive over to South Canon
to look after some residence property,
which the former had for rent on the
south side of the river.
Just before reaching the railroad
track at the foot of the hill, on First
street, an automobile driven by
Charles Pauls was seen by Mr.. Nc
Clure coming down the road. seventy
five or a hundred yards ahead, and,
when within about fifty or sixty feet
of the buggy driven by Mr.. Mcclure
pulled out to one side of the road in
order 10 give him the right-of-wsy.
There was a delivery wagon be-
tween Mr.. McClure and the automo-
bile until the latter stopped, and his
horse does not appear to have seen
the machine until the deliveryman
whipped his horse up and got out of
the way. Mr. Mcclure had just
crossed the bridge over the city water
ditch when his horse spied the auto
mobile a short distance in front of
him and Immediately begal backing.
All efforts of Mr.. Mcclure to urge
the animal forward Were unavailing
and almost before the occupants of the
buggy we've aware of their danger
they were precipated into the ditch,
horse. vehicle and all going into the
water, which was nearly four feet
deep and very chilly.
As soon as the spectators compre-
hended what had happened they ran
to the rescue of those who were
struggling in the water. and Mr. Nc

ASSAULTED
BY PRISONERS

When Shreiif Simon entered the
Jail at noon last Friday to take the
prisoners their dinner, he was vicious
ly assaulted by two of them, and it
was only by the exercise of great
presence of mind on his part that the
affair did not result in a Tragedy.
The prisoners referred to, James
Armstrong and Harry Russell, weie
known by Mr. Simon to be desperate
men aud he never entered the cell
house where thoy were incarcerated
without seeing TO it that they were
given no opportunity to take him
unawares, or strike him while his
back was turned.
On the occasion mentioned Mr..
Simon hsd just entered the apartment
where the prisoners were confined
when Armstrong, with an oath.
spraDg at him from dark corner of
l1AAAahS ~
his head commanded him to throw
up his hands Mr. Simon stepped
back and slammed the heavy iron
door with bang and showed the bolt
into y ace as quickly as possible. tell
ing Armstrong to shoot If ne wanted
to.
Russell ran up At this juncture Of
affairs and took part in the attack ON
the sheriff. but was unable to do very
much as the door interviewed between
him aud the officer Russell had .
very dangerous weapon, which he had
made out of sheet lead. torn up from
the floor of his cell, aud to which
he had attached exible wire handle
about two feet in length. Had he
succeeded in striking Mr.. Simon .
heavy blow upon the top of the head
with il his skull would have been
crashed. While M-. Simon Was 'cas-
desvoring to fasten the door Russell
was savAgely striking at him between
tn, bars, but H. We're for the most
part Intellectual; only one of them
reaching the mark intended, but il
was a glancing lick and Mr.. Simon was
not much hurt in consequence, al.
though knocked down by the force of
the blow. As soon as he could re-
gain his feet Mr.. Simon ran to the
main door. which he unlocked and
passed out into the hallway opposite
his office. leaving his assailants se-
curely fastened behind him.
1t was q determined attack, and no
doubt WAS the result of carefully
matured plans on the part of the
two men we have attempted to de.
scribe.
Deputy Sheriff Hawkins was in his
office at the time of the occurrence
and hastened to the door of the Jail
on hearing the disturbance. which had
n pacifying effect ON the prisoners,
who appear TO haze been under the
impression that Mr.. Simon was alone
in the building at the time the attack
was made.
