ROLLED OVER EMBANKMENT.
Road Machine Weighing Ten Tons
Turns Over and is Badly Smashed.

Late Saturday afternoon, just when
the road builders were ready to put
the last finishing touch on the first
half-mile OF Model Road on the West
Side, the big steam road-roller got
stubborn, refused to back-up or be
reversed and finally ended in rolling
over an embankment OF or feet,
and alighting on its back, or top, in a
swamp, where it now rests, with
wheels and boilers, sticking skyward.
The accident was absolutely unavoid-
able. The amount of damage done
is hard to estimate and what lit will
costto get it out, can not be accurately
guessed at.
The machine was in charge of
Engineer Chapman, VINO has been
running it all of the time. He had
started off the macadamized road on
to the road to Fairmont, to do a
little work, before finishing the model
road.
The roller was steered near the edge
of the embankment. The engine
refused to reverse, aud slipped over
the edge, Mr.. Chapman stayed with
it until the last minute, and then
jumped.
The roller weighs ten tons, and it is
hard to tell the amount of damage it
has sustained The smoke stack,
canopy and governor were broken off and
some of the steam-flttings are smash
ed Part of these are buried in the
mud, and the amount of the damage
can not be seen.
An effort will be made to get the
heavy machine out of the hole, and to
have it repaired.

How Nc Discovered That p White
Man Was n Coward.
The Indian has n queer way OF de-
termining whether or not man Is

hud some years ago." said man who
once nude an educational tour Of the
west, "and the same little experience
convinced me that the Indians system
OF reasoning along this line Is by no
mems Il bnd one.
"Storics had been told which brought
about q clash between the Indian and
white man. The two men originally
had nothing against each other. Tho
Indian Ind II bad reputation-thut Is,
lie had the reputation of being bad
man, u desperate, dangerous fellow,
who would fight n buzzsaw ut the drop
OF Init. The white mnn who blew
into the section had In some way
gained similar reputation. He was
said to be dangerous character and q
nun who had never bccn whipped. We
concluded that we would have some
fun We met the 1ndian aud told him
long story about Ills new rival and
reminded him that his lnurcls were in
danger md succeeded in getting his
pride stirred, md his Indian blood was
soon up to the fighting point. Soon
after this we met the white man, and
we filled him up with the same kind
OF talk. IIe said he would take care Of
the Indian oil right in due time, aud,
In short, would make him take TO the
woods. Shortly we met the Indian
again and told him the desperate white
man wns after his scalp. He smiled
and shook his head.
"a few days Inter we were talking
to the white man when the Indian
came up to Join the group. he had
spotted the stranger and knew him by
sight. Without saying word to him
he walked up within arms reach and
struck the white man In the face with
rough. heavy glove. lie paused for q
few seconds and hit him again. sUghr
he exclaimed as he wheeled around
and walked away. The white man
looked Mt the Indian In ninazement, but
nude no show of resentment. Later In
the day when we asked the Indian
why 1t was that he did not follow up
the insult with blows he told us the
white man was coward. In explain
