SALTWATER

The east approach to the pontoon bridge
across the st. Croix at this point fell
yesterday forenoon, and a valuable team
Of horses belonging to John G: Nelson
was lost. The team was in charge Of
Otto Binker, who was taking heavy
load Of lumber from this city to the east
shore of the lake for the East Side Lum-
Der company. On the approach his team
met a four horse team belonging to H. c.
Farmer, and the approach fell into the
water. Mr.. Farmers horses were extri-
Gated without much trouble, but the Mel
son team fell into the water. One horse
was drowned and the other had it's leg
broken and was killed to end it's suffer-
ing. Binker fell between his horses, and
escaped uninjured. The approach is about
fifty feet in length, and although it ap-
pears to be in a sadly dilapidated CON
ditiOn, Street Commissioner McGhee hopes
to have 1t In place so that teams can
pass over 1T again this afternoon or to-
morrow. The accident was caused by
the breaking of a screw used in raising
and lowering the approach on the rise
and fall Of the water in the lake.

HARTMAN IS BEHIND
CLARK'S ENTERPRISE
Union Pacific Maqnate Sanctioned the
San Pedro Route.

Authoritative denial is made of the re-
port that the Rock Island is backing the
construction Of the San Pedro, Los An
geles & Salt Lake railroad. E. H. Har-
riman is believed to be behind the w. A.
Clark enterprise. It has been current
gossip that the sale Of a part Of the Ore
gon Short Line to Senator Clark by the
Union Pacific is merely a blind to con-
ceal the fact that Mr.. Hartman was
building another, line from Salt Lake to
the Pacific coast.
The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake is in no way parallel to the Central
Pacific 1t is the third side of a triangle,
the base of which extends from San
Pedro to San Francisco, 500 miles. AT
the western it will compete with the
Santa Fe for the fruit carrying trade OF
the California valleys, routed east.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
in Western railroad circles that all speci-
ficatiOns for rails, equipment and rolling
stock for the San Pedro road have been
approved by General Manager Bancroft
of the Union Pacific. The road is being
built to Hartman specifications and ultl-
mately will be made part of the Harri-
man system

ESCAPES FROM COUNTY JAIL.

Harry Smith, 10 Years Old, WrlggIes Out
of Hennepin's RastiIe.
Hennepin county jail officials are felic-
itating themselves over the failure of
Harry Smith, jail-bird and professional
crook, to effect a wholesale Jail delivery
yesterday morning.
Smith, who is a little fellow and only
eighteen years old, got out of the county's
strong box very cleVerly. To accomplish
his purpose he made a clothes rope
and tied 1t to his bed, then passed it
through the broken wire netting separat-
ing his cell from a passageway three feet
in width which runs between the cells
and the windows of the fifth floor. Next
he twisted himself through the pail box
having previously done some tall saw
ing with files furnished him by friends on
the outside, and found himself in the main
corridor. On his way he had to pick the
lock of door.
He swung down to the fourth story
window, about twenty-six feet, where he
must have had a confederate to pull him
in. Once on the fourth floor 1t was no
trick for him to walk out Of the building
unmoleSted. I.---.
A change in the sheriff's plans alone
prevented a wholesale delivery, as Smith
was going to take several criminals with
him who had a few days before been
taken to Saltwater and st. Cloud.

entitled under the sliding scale fixed by
