Wreck on Canyon Railroad
Work Train Derailed BY a Band of Sheep-One Man Killed

A backing train, a cut on a curve
 with a heavy down grade, a large
 band of sheep and an excited herder resulted in a wrecked train, the loss of one life and a number of men being badly injured on the Canyon railroad, about four miles north oi Williams. last Saturday afternoon.
 Shortly after noon the work train on the Canyon road, which was going out about twenty-four miles to pick up stringers, was side tracked here by No. B. Sometime later they got under way and were making up for lost time when the point where the accident occurred was reached. The train was in charge of Conductor J. O. Dodge, with Brakeman E. $. Mcclure. En- gineer Lumsden and Fireman Price ~Fhe work crew consisted of Fore man John Powell and eleven men, the train being made up of engine. two coal cars and a caboose, and was backing out
 Just before the point where the wreck occurred is reached there is a deep cut Here the road curves sharply and runs out on a fill. Here. also, was large band of sheep belonging to Frank Everett, in charge of a Mexican sheep herder. The man was driving the band across the track and about half were over when the train crashed into them
 Following is the testimony of Brakeman Mcclure, which was given at the coroner's inquest:
 "we were backing up the train and when l first saw the sheep we were about 300 yards from them and the herder was trying to drive them across the track. As soon as I saw them I turned around and applied the air in the caboose. When we hit the sheep about ,0OO m the nock nad gotten Dyi prooa- bly the first part of the flock was fifty feet from the track, and we went right through the center with the caboose and train. The con- ductor and myself were sitting in the cupola of the caboose. This man (indicating Swan) was right in the door; the presumption is that he tried to jump and failed When we hit the sheep we were running about twenty miles an hour, down grade. There was no chance in the world to see the sheep and prevent into them. I saw them just as soon as they could have been seen, and applied the air my
Williams news., 1902-09-27

 "Mr. Dodge, the conductor, was up in the cupola with MT. Mcclure, the brakeman. I heard Burt Woods say, Look outl we are going to get into it, and Mcclure put on the brakes, while MT. Dodge signalled to the engineer"
 It appears that when the caboose struck the sheep it jumped the track, running about 100 feet on the ties. and then toppled over down the embankment. The coal cars and engine went through, but one of the former was ditched a little further on- As soon as possible the engine was cut loose and sent to town for help. Upon its arrival here Dr. Tyroler was summoned, and after attaching a car, in charge of Agent Hudson, again left for the wreck.
 Here a pitiful sight met the gaze. Men were standing around here and there with blOod-besmeared coun- tenances, doing all in their power for their less fortunate comrades.
 The physician immediately at tended the wants of the injured men, after which the crew set to work to remove the shattered caboose from of the body of the unfortunate Swan.
 The body of the dead man and his crippled comrades were loaded on the train and brought to town, where Dr. Tyroler could better at tend their injuries.
 Following is the list of the dead and injured:
 P. H. Swan, St. Louis, killed.
 John Powell, foreman, compound fracture oi right leg, scalp wound and other injuries; taken to Los Angeles. c. k. Brown, back and side hurt. | Harvey Zinzer, face cut and | bruised, ankle sprained.
 D. J. O'Rourke, face cut, right side bruised, injured internally.
 George Wagner, bad scalp wound, cut behind left ear, legs bruised.
 Jas Dolan, left hip wrenched.

IN HALL OF FAME.

The jury appointed to select the
names of great Americans for place in
the Hall Of Fame, at the University of
the City of New York, is expected to
make its second report shortly. People
are beginning to comment on the fact
that of the names chosen for honor not
one is that of woman, though it was
to woman's generosity that the foun-
dation Of the Hall is due. However,
four women are now in nomination
Mary Lyon, Charlotte Cushman, Doro-
thea Dix and Lucretta Mott We think
it would puzzle not a few reasonably
well-informed Americans to tell the
exact claim to fame of each of these la
dies. No person is to be considered
for this rather formal award of immor-
tality unless dead for more than ten
years, and it is this qualification which
bars some of Americas most famous
women, notably Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe. Fifty years from now there
will be many women, now happily alive
and working for the advancement of
whose names will be eligible
to the highest places in any pantheon
that America may maintain, but fifty
years ago woman's sphere was circum-
scribed, and her activities, though of
inestimable service to man, were not of
the public sort that wins formal recog-
milton Nothing could more strikingly
the changed relations of
women to the world than this forlorn
search for a famous American woman
of the early part of the nineteenth
century why not adopt the theory
that the mothers of great men are
themselves great, and award tablets to
Mary Washington and Nancy Hanks,
v, hose sons were our greatest men?

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Georgia legislature has been in
session but a short time and already it
is flooded with bills. Bills of every
imaginable character have been usher
ed to the clerks, desk, and the authors
will be yelling for their passage. Such
ought not to be the case. The Times
Recorder is of the opinion it is not the
member who introduces the largest
number of bills that is most useful in a
congress or legislature. We should
never select such member as a useful
one, and would always prefer a bill
killer" to the bill promoter. 1t is
hoped that our immediate representa-
tives in the legislature will take the
same view ofthings and will remember
that they can best serve the people by
preventing unnecessary legislation
and not by the introduction of bills.

GIRLS STRANGE DEATH.

New York, Nov. S.-Nellie Corcoran

al, died early today Her case wal
an extremely pulling one to medical
practitioners throughout the city. Tha
girl fell into a state Of Unc0nsciousnes3
Oct. IS, at the house where she was:
employed as servant. At the hos
pital, where she was taken, heroic er
forts to determine the cause of het
condition met with little success. Hun.
dreds of physicians examined her and
every known method was tried II
awaken her, but with little success
Two or three times she was aroused
and spoke a few words, saying she was
sleepy and again became uncon
sciOus.
Electricity was applied and in harl
doses, but ineffectiyely. Neurologists
and pathOlogists tried to diagnose the
girls condition, but could not Spe
cialists of nearly every medical field
were called in, but they arrived at ad
conclusions as to the cause of the co
ma or its proper diagnosis. 1t was
even suggested that some one had
hypnotized her and efforts to throw
off such spell were made, but to M
purpose. Her temperature increased
rapidly, she became emaciated AMI
finally stopped breathing, after having

TO PROHIBIT LOAFlNG.

A bishop Of the African Methodist
church, in an address before one of his
conferences in Arkansas, demanded
that the state legislature pass laws
which would force loafng and idle ne
groes to "move on" and go to work for
an honest, upright living. His sug-
gestion is a good one Georgia, and
every town in the state should have
just such a law, and its operations
should not apply to negroes only. Be
side those in the negro ranks there are
hundreds Of white loafers in Georgia,
and Americas and Sumter county have
their full share Of white and black
loafers
The legislature, now in session,
should amend and widen the scope Of
the vagrant laws Of the state, and then
that law should be enforced on whites
and blacks alike,
