Conductor Reece, of the Santa Fe,

nea Rivera. has SO far recovered as
to be able to get out on the street,

cal condition, Mr.. Reece has been able

all Of which was a blank to him for a
couple of Gays. He states that he
was standing beside the track as the
train pulled past. AS the caboose
reached him he reached to jump
aboard, but in some manner he lost
his hold and was thrown head fore
most down the embankment in a pile
Of stone. None of the train crew saw
the accident, SO were unable to tell
how it occurred.
Mr.. Recess injuries at first appear,
ed to be very serious, but with re.
turning consciousness came a rapid
recovery, though he was severely
bruised about the head and shoulders.

British After Rock Island.

'~~N S'N
Railroad men have announced that
control of the Rock Island was pass.
ing to British hands and would soon
become a foreign corporation. In sup
port of this the statement is made
that $40, 000, 900 out Of the 100000, 900
of common stock Is now held by par
ties outside the United States, besides
a small proportion Of the preferred
stock. Over $4,000 shares of the com
mon are said to have been purchased
recently by English buyers and the
foreign demand still keeps up. Rock
Island interests admitted it is proba'
BILE that the foreigners will be allowed
to take all Of the common stock they
care to acquire, as it has practically
no say in the control Of the operation
of the property.
Under the articles of incorporation
a two-thirds majority of the preferred
stock has absolute control and can
do very much as it pleases with the
property. 1t is safe to say that under
no circumstances will this proportion
of the preferred be parted with by
the parties now in power, Ownership
of the common as a profitable invest
ment may be a very good thing, but
SO far as controlling the property is
concerned it is of very little account.

d. A. Cords of the Pacific Pine
Needle Co. expresses some annoyances
at the reported disposition by the city
council of a petition presented to that
body at the last meeting. concerning
the storing of oil in quantity near the
plant of his company. A report Of
the proceedings says that the protest
was against the way the Standard
Oil Co. had been leaving their build.
ing open and that after some discus
sion, the city attorney was instructed
to write to the company requesting
that they be more careful as 10 their
storage of oils and keep their place
closed against tramps and others.
Mr. Cords says that either the words
of the petition mad utterly failed to
impress the council with their mean
ing OF else the transfer is laboring
under a apprehension. He says: !:
1.-THE gist of our memorial TO the
board was to call its attention to the
imminent danger from fire to which
our company, together with great
many Others in our neighborhood are
exposed, because Of the close prox-
unity to these highly infiammable
materials, and whose existence within
the city limits no other town or city
would permit. In citing this con
slant and great menance to us, we in
cidentally mentioned the carlessness
OF tramps, often seen sitting and
smoking alongside the oil house, this
danger, however, is Of secondary inn
portance compared with the more
serious ones which confront us at all
times. The main point, and which
we lay particular stress on, is that
the storing Of vast quantities Of oil
and gasoline offers an imminent and
never ceasing risk to the surrounding
property and may even involve the
loss OF lives
1--WE therefore insist upon the re-
moval Of such combustibles or shall
be compelled to hold the town respon-
sible for the consequences. "

day morning and had lively search
for two colored men whom they were
to arrest on telegraphic information
from A. s. Hammond. The men were
evidently expecting trouble at this
place as they were in hiding and the
train was delayed nearly 10 minutes
while the search was in progress
They were finally located and de-
tained in the city bastile.
Attorney and Mrs. Hammond were
returning home from Portland and
had left their section with Mrs Ham
mond's furs and other articles lying
on the seat. The two colored gents,
also passengers in the pullman car,
sat down in the Hammond seat and
when they left, the furs were snugly
tucked under an overcoat. Searol
was made aud tho articles finally
found secreted in the toilet room.
The theft was committed in
Clackamas county and the prosecution
must necessarily be made in that
county. The officials were notified OF
the theft and tho capture but did not
take stops to prosecute, so the men
were liberated on habeas corpus pro-
coedings. They departed for San
Francisco Tuesday night.
