THEY HAD A PREStNTiMEAT
Engineer Webber and Fireman
Becker Anticipated Wreck

X. NJ Becker, fireman Of the regular
crew on the westbound freight No. 215.
who was in the wreck near Woolsey
last Saturday morning. related his ex-
perience to a Silver State reporter
this morning. How Mr.. Becker, and
for that matter great many others,
escaped with their lives is a seven
days wonder. His escape seems lit
tie short of a miracle. He said:
I'VE were running along at a slow
rate-about ten miles an hour-when
we first saw the headlight of the pas
senger, which was coming at a speed
of about twenty miles an hour. We
were in the neighborhood of a quar-
ter of a mile apart when the trains
before the crash came had slowed
down until 215 was making about five
and the passenger about ten miles
an hour. All of both crews jumped
except myself. 1 stayed with the en-
gine. but how I ever got out alive is
this little cut upon the scalp.
|. when the engines met the main
mix-up seemed to be behind our en-
gine. Next to our tank was an empty
box car and several others, of steel and
wood. You should have seen that box
car; it simply enveloped our tender.
It's bottom shot in underneath, clear
up to the engine. Its two sides slid
right along past the tank, and its roof
was over the top. And when the roof
of the box car came down over the
tank, it found me there. Then was
when I got cut.
"The jar could not have been great
to the passenger train, for the porter
told me that a great many of the
passengers were not even awakened.
How does 1t feel to suddenly rea-
liZe that you are boing to be In d
wreck, and can't do anything to pre-
vent it? Well, l don't know-one
dc esn't have time to anafyze his feel
ings. But peculiar thing about this
wreck was that both the engineer. Mr..
Webber, and myself, entertained a
feeling or a sort of presentiment all
night that something was going to
happen. We spoke of it to each other
and try as we might, we couldn't shake
it off. 1t wasn't a surprise to us on
that account; but it was an expert
ence that neither of us care 10 have
to go through again. This Is the third
time for me. and have escaped luck

IN THE DEPARTMENT
OF MUSIC
Progress Being Made in Pub
lie Schools This Year Is
Highly Gratifying

Since the Introduction Of music az
a part of the regular course of study
in the Winnemucca public school, the
sentiment Of many of the students
and of still greater number Of par
ents has undergone a change COM
pietely, and instead Of a manifest op-
POSITION to 1t, there is hearty COM
mendation and thorough appreciation.
Music. of all the arts. is the most
lefning, the best loved, and gives the
greatest pleasure to humanity in gen.
eral. AS the beginners are taught,
music is the harmonious sound pro-
duced by the human voice. and by
number Of instruments. The sounds
Of harmony produced appeal to the
sympathies and sentiments and in.
srire beautiful thoughts and mental
pictures. When linked with words.
music loses its vagueness and be-
comes beautiful Illustration of Ian
guages.
As an art, perpetuated and adored,
music has existed in all countries and
a. all times as far back as either
plofane or sacred history goes. Con-
sidered as a study for the young.
while it is comparatively new in the
schools of this country. the idea is
considered 1t one of their sciences
and studied 1t as much. even setting
their poetry to melody.
The work in the musical department
of the Winnemucca public school, un-
der the able instruction of Mrs. A.
L. Lothrop, is progressing in a man
ner that is entirely satisfactory. In
who have never tried to sing befo e
the beginning of the present term are
developing good voices, while others
who could not in the beginning sing a
correct tone after the patient but per-
sistent instruction are learning to sing
tie scale and the class songs. Th.
interest is even greater as the chill
dren grow older. They grasp the rud
iments quickly and are proud of be-
ing able to read an exercise at sight.

ticeable that they are able to detect
ar error in pitch very readily.
In the high school. many of the
boys. never having sung in childhood,
imagine they cannot sing; they are
required, however, TO learn the correct
principles of rythm and harmony, and
tc read music by syllable and pitch.
They are all fond of the class songs.
end try to Sing them. In the tenth and
eleventh grades, the two-part and
three-part music is very interesting,
and all of the pupils of these grades
are working earnestly and enthusi-
astically. Most of them have good
voices which blend well, making
beautiful harmony
Suprred on by a newly awakened
ambition to become musical. and
guided in the study of music by a
teacher who is both a skilled musi-
clan and an able instructor in the
science. the pupils are making more
rapid progress this year than they
ever have before. and the time de-
voted to music is more enjoyable to
many than any other.

AFTER AN ALLEGED
FORGER
Sheriff Lamb Left Yesterday
to Try to Apprehend One
ChaS. Wallace

Says the Reno Gazette of yesterday:
Charles Wallace, the bunco man who
worked several leading citizens of this
been located at Winnemucca and
Sheriff Hayes or one Of his deputies
will leave for that town tonight to
accompany him back to Reno.
A. L. Mason. who was fieeced out
OF about one hundred and fifty dol
lars by this smooth character, today
had the district attorney make out a
warrant charging Wallace with gain
ing money under false pretenses, and
Wallace will soon be In the clutches
of the law.
Wallace has been apprehended in
Winnemucca by the officers and is
being held awaiting the arrival of an
back to face the charges against him.
Wallace has been about Winnemuc-
ca for few days, and on Sunday sue
ceeded in working off a check drawn
in the sum of $25 on Jesus Pueblo, at
The Club saloon. When d. j. Big
gins went to deposit the check Mon
day morning, the bank declined to ac-
cept it. on the grounds that the sig
nature, Chas. Wallace. was that of a
stranger who might or might not
have the money on deposit in the Wal
Iowa bank, in Oregon, on which the
check was drawn.
In the meantime Sheriff Lamb had
learned that Wallace was wanted in
Reno. and he began searching for him.
1t was learned that he had left on the
stage for the north yesterday morn
ing. stating that he was going to De-
nio. Procuring team and buggy the
sheriff left early yesterday afternoon,
hoping to overtake his man last night
at Cane Springs. AS he had not re-
turned at the time the Silver State
went to press. IT isrprobable that ne
had to go farther, than had been an
ticipated before overtaking Wallace.
This forenoon D. j. Biggins appear
ed before Justice Robins and swore
out a complaint against Wallace,
charging him with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
