THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Wild Cat Holds Up Southern Pa
cific Train

Engineer Ed White and Fireman Larry
which, had it occurred to men of less
staid habits. might be attributed to an
excess of Christmas cheer.
They left here yesterday afternoon, and
while going through Palisade Canyon
they were startled by something landing
with howl and a scramble on the ten
der of their engine When enough coal
dust had blown away for them to identify
their visitor they beheld an enormous
wild cat, which crouched, snarling, upon
the coal and seemed ready to take pos
session of the cab. Neither the fireman
nor the engineer being accustomed to
such a passenger, both at once vacated
via the front window and rode the run
board until Mr.. Cat arrived at the point
at which he desired to disembark before
they returned to the employ of the South
ern Pacific.
1t is claimed by some railroad men that
Messrs. White and Ahern beat their own
train into Carlin and others are wonder
ing what would have happened if they
had been tagged before the wild cat quit
running the engine. Never having flag
ged a wild cat none of them can say, but
1t is thought that Larry will apply for a
shovel on the Sligo and Cork railroad,
where there are neither wild cats nor
snakes

IN FROM WILLOW POINT
Visit of H. Darrah Starts the
Wheels of Memory

Hugh Darrah came In from Willow
who left on No. for a visit in Lovelock,
where she will be the guest of her cousin,
Mrs. s. D. E. Pinnegar for several days.
Mr.. Darrah paid a visit to the Silver
State office. He says business has been
fairly good with him the past year, and
barring the illness of Mrs. Darrah, who
is and has been for several months
great sufferer with rheumatism, he is
contented and happy. He reports the
prospects good for big crops and another
good business year to come. Mr.. Darrah
was asked If he never longed to be
railroad man again. He replied: "Oh,
no; l have been a rancher and cowboy
so long that / am getting too old to
punch tickets now"
The writer remembered of riding on
Mr.. Darrah's train one time, way back
in the '70s, and was coming home to
flag station ten miles east of Truckee.
Hugh had a heavy train and wanted to
carry us by. to the next station and send
us back on the passenger. giving as
reason that he was behind time and had
but so many minutes to reach the next
station, where he would meet the west
bound passenger. "All right" we said
to Mr.. Darrah. 1t was showing like cot

THE FATAL WEDDING
Will be Presented Here Friday
Evening

Probably no play produced in the last
decade has achieved the success as has
"rhe Fatal Wedding" written by Theo-
dore Kremer and produced by Sullivan,
Harris a. Woods, which will be the at
traction at the Opera House, Friday
night, December 30th. So instant and
emphatic was the verdict of the great
New York critics and public when the
play was first produced in the metropo-
lis that the good repute Of "The Fatal
Wedding quickly spread over the coun-
try, and its management had. perforce.
to decline much of the very fine time
offered them by the leading theaters of
the country. At this time this successful
play is being produced and has been
translated into the language OF both
France and Germany. And Its success
has not as yet reached high-water mark
One of the most striking, and probably
the most interesting, character in the
play is that OF an eight-year-old child,
Mother" So difficult is this part to In
terpret and so exhausting are its require
ments. that Sullivan, Harris & Woods
have been obliged to secure the services
of two children phenomenons to interpret
1t. For the part they have engaged the
Misses Gussie Shires and Baby Keefe.
Each OF these charming and delightful
very young ladies will appear at alter
nate performances. and their coming has
aroused almost every child in the schools
of the city to a high pitch of excitement.
As a scenic production "The Fatal We'd
ding Is wonder The production In
PRODUCES many beautiful scenes, includ-
ing the famous Grace Church in New
York City. showing an evening wedding
in progress. and the Palisades of the
Hudson during a terrible snowstorm. The
wind and snow effects in this scene are
masterpieces of stage ingenuity.
