grabbed his lantern and rushed out onto the
platform. AS ne emerged the train flashed by.
Davis was leaning far out OF the cab window,
looking straight ahead and apparently attend

reached the platform. and he rushed back TO
his key TO westfeld, but before ne could
do so the train had covered the two miles and
was past westfeld and plunging into the other

Vice President w @. Besler Of the Philadel-

who is also general manager of the roads, said
yesterday that he and other officials of the road
were conducting thorough investigation Of the

how this thing happened We are not doing
anything secretly and We welcome any informa-
tion from persons who are not employed by
to how this occurred
The thing can't be explained yet. Davis was
seen in the hospital by a man whom sent, and
he told that he did not remember seeing any
Ihing-he didn't any signal at all. He is
quoted as saying that he did the lights and
ran past them, thinking everything was all
right, but he didn't say any such thing to US.
Our electric signal system was working all
right then. and has never stopped working right
so far we know. Our road is equipped with
The best known modern inventions; but you
can't eliminate the factor of human fallibilitv
That factor is the only excuse for this accident
Davis says that he didn't see the signals, but
they must have been UP. They work auto
matically. They were up when we got there
and are up yet, TIL the road is cleared.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Cough Remedy.

Cough Remedy.
"When | had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second one)
| actually cured myself with one
bottle of Chumberlaln's Cough
Remedy" says Frank W. Perry,
Editor OF the Enterprise. Shorts
VILE, New York. This is the
honest truth. at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by tax
ing a teaspoonfu! of tins remedy,
and when the coughing spell
would come on at night | would
take dose and it seemed that in
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off ard / would 90 to
sleep perfectly free from cough
and lis accompanying pains. To
say that the remedy acted as n
most agreeable surprise is putting
it very mildly. I had no idea
that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because had new
er tried it for such a purpose, but
it did, and II seemed with the sec
ond attack Of coughing the RENE
dy caused it TO not only be OF less
duration, but the pains were far
less severe. and | had not used the
contents of one bottle before Mr.
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

Grant johnson, of Arksill had rather
thrilling experience in bear hunting on
Saturday morning. Having heard that
Il bear had crossed the ridge the night
before, above his camp he loaded his
Winchester and started after him. After
travelling till he was pretty tired he found
the bear had swung around and gone
back the way he had come. So he turn
back and after travelling about two
hundred yards, saw place where the
steam was coming up through the snow,
at some little distance. On investiga-
ting he found the bear had "hoId up"
Getting down on his hands and knees he
could see the bears eyes, and, put bullet
in between them. After waiting some
time for him to die, he got dry chest
nut pole and punched him with it, which
proved him to be much alive yet. Calling
some men who were working on the side
hill in hearing distance they made a
torch aud Grant took the torch in one
hand and his gun in the other, and
crawled into the den, after crawling in
short distance he planted another bullet
in the bears head. BY this time the bear
had reached the back end of the cavern,
and was still quite lively, Grant gave him
the third shot in the head which stopped
him." The cavern at this place was quite
roomy and he got hold of the bear and
dragged him out to the entrance, where
he cut stick that had hook on it, and
"skidded" him down to camp. He was
evidently two year old, and weighed
about two hundred pounds.
B. B. Loeue, one of the old settlers on
this stream, died last Friday night of
