TAMPERED WITH SWITCH.
Evidence That Something Is Wrong in
the Yards.

Mcpherson, Kan, July 3-Last night a
little after seven o'clock the Santa Fe
freight train ran off the blind switch near
Jensens waree house. They backed in
on the switch and then were going to
pull out when the engine and tender ran
off the track. The fact that the switch
had been tempered with was plainly
shown as the train backed into the switch
all right.
This makes the second time a train has
been deraied at that place and every
time it has been plainly shown that some
one has tempered with the switch.

Magyar Version OF the ExpuIsioa
From the Garden OF Eden.
Among the folklore Of the peasantry
of RoumanIa and some OF the adjola-
ing Magyar states OF eastern Europe
is found the story OF the expulsion Of
our first parents from the garden OF
Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God sent
Gabriel, the Magyar angel. to turn
them out OF Eden as a punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was re ceived most
courteousIy. food and drink of the
best being set before him. Now. Ga
briel had a kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not nc
cept their hospitality. remembering his
GRAND. So he returned and begged
that some one else be sent to evict the
sinners, as he really could not do 1t
The Raphael, the Roumanian angel,
was sent and was received as Gabrie'
bad been. He. however. was very fond
Of a good dinner. and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over. he told the erring pair his
errand. They at once began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy
Their bitter SORROW so touched his aft
er dinner heart that he, too. returned
and asked that some one else be sent
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital
ity. Then It was that Michael, the
German angel. was sent He was re
celved as the Others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu
ously. BE sat down and enjoyed him
self till the last norsel Of food had
vanished and there wasn't a drop Of
liquor left. Then he arose. and, turn
ing to his host and hostess, said. Now
then, out you go. and be quick about
It" Most pIteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time. even reminding
him that he had partaken OF theil
bread. All in vain Thus It was that
our first parents were driven out Of
Eden.

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
Inence In Murder Trials.

Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
Inence In Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by a fiattened and mis-
shapen bit OF lead or steel. once in the
form OF a bullet. often leads to the de
velopment Of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose apprecIably in weight by
being fired. and the fSrn Of the barrel
may tend TO reduce its size. In rife
some OF the lead Is taken OF by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside OF
the ball, and because of this It changes
its shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about bullet Is
that it will very often make wound OF
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in so brittle substance as glass.
Another strange fact about a bullet is
that it. will often pass through inter
vening clothing. making hole that can
hardly be noticed. and yet carry on its
point circular piece OF cloth. The car
rying Of bits Of clothing, hair or dirt In
to wounds in such manner greatly
enhances the dangers Of peritonitis.
Were it not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly so danger
GUS, as its rapid fight and heating
make It practically sterile.
Blackened edges OF wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet. although the ball with a lead tip
could also produce this result Regard
ing powder stains, smokelcss or other.
wise, nothing OF great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At recent trial doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fired
at distance OF not more than three
feet. which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the Rtsno
by the prisoner himself.
