Limited train when the wreck took

is the same iron horse which was in
the disastrous wreck at Dover Lake
last year. when Engineer Schultzs
and Fireman Rasmussen met their
death.
This engine now has a record of
three men killed within it's cab, and
it engineers are superstitious, as thew
undoubtedly are to greater or less
extent, they will not go over the
road with this engine in the future
with the same ease and confidence
which ordinarily characterizes them.
Engine 22s may properly be called
Tom Rockers engine as he is on the
No. l run and always takes this

day was Mr.. Rockers day to 20 out
on the North Coast Limited run, but

board and so Mr.. Mason went out
to his death. The coincidence by
which MIR. Hooker escaped Monday q
run which proved so disastrous for the
man at the throttle, has revived the

STAR ROUTE MAIL DEL1yERY "a,

STAR ROUTE MAIL DELIVERY.
Royalton Banner: Rural free de-
livery mail went in effect over all
star routes on July !. All star route
carriers are how under contract to
deliver mail along their routes to all
who wish the service and who will
provide suitable boxes or satchels for
the convenience of the carriers, who are
not required to leave their vehicles in
depositing the mail. In order to be
entitled to this service, as we under
stand it, each person must provide
himself with suitable box or satchel
in which mail can be deposited. Tbs
government does not prescribe any
particular design of box or satchel to
be used, but the person providing
either should see that it is of such
character as to afford ample protection
to his mail. he must also file with
the postmaster at whose Office he
wishes his mail made up, a notice in
writing requesting him to deliver his
mail to the proper carrier for deposit
at designated point, such Office be-
ing the ne at which he usually re-
ceives his mail. A carrier is not
allo we'd to carry such mail by post
Office. The Royalton postmaster has
received a number of requests from
Upsala to make up mail for people
living along the star route near that
place. This he is not allowed to do.
They must receive their mail from
Elmdale. He can make up mail for
those who live on this side of Elm
dale, the FIRST Office on the route.
This new service will prove a great
convenience to the people in the rural
communities and should be taken ad-
vantage of by them. Provide a
satchel or a box and have the mail
deposited at your door.

ing Anthony McHugh, a freight con-
ductOr on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
and James Kearney were found on
Main street bleeding from gun-shot
wounds. Both men We're on their way
to work when the tragedy happened.
MCHugh was shot through the lungs

being discovered. kearney was taken
to the city hospital. where il was found
that he was shot near the heart and
his recovery is doubtful. The police
are unable 10 solve the mystery or ind
any trace OF the murderers. There are
two theories, however. which the au-
thori,ies have TO work upon. One IS
that there had been party OF drunken
men in a saloon engaged in war OF
words and on coming TO the street
they engaged in fight; that during
the melee guns were used. and that
McHugh and kearney were each hit by
the stray bullets.
Another theory Is that 3 crowd OF
Italians had been in a struggle flour
ishing guns and stilletoes and McHugh
attempted TO quiet them when he and
kearney were shot
