Matchbox at Foot of Lom
bard Street Scene Of a
Strange Gathering

,Tis no unusual thing to see men
,,orsine about the &reets minus leg
or AN arm as the result of some acci-
dent but to see five men, more or less
crippled. gather in a watch box along
the railroad and discuss topics OF the
day is not often Witnessed.
such was the case, however, yes
terdav when Joseph Schuyler Miit
Harris. Edward nj. Smith, Joseph A.
Dance and Edward Collins gathered IN
the little box at the foot Of Lombard
street and engaged In general de-
bate.
schuyler. who lives at No. 200 East
second street lost both OF his legs, one
above and one below the knee, q year
aeo last July by being run over in the
west yard. He now uses false limbs
and is able to walk about on many oc-
casions without the aid Ole -eratohes.
Milt Harris, employed as a switch
man in the yards OF the p, b. & w.
Company, on June 3. 1908, lost leg
and an arm on the south bound. hump
of the railroad A peculiar incident
connected with his accident Is the fact
that the man he succeeded and the
man who followed him at the hump
were both badly mangled.
Edward M. Smith, also employed as
switchman lost his right arm at
the searchmont Automobile Works on
the same day and hour that Harris
was injured.
Joseph A. Dance Of No, sos East
Seventh street. Is minus "A leg, Il hav-
ing been cut of at Fourth and Church
streets February 81. 1902 He Is also
employed as switchman.
Edward Collins, sWitchman, has his
arm paralyzed and his legs injured by
coming in contact with a train In the
same year IN which Dance was injured
Meeting interrupted.
This gathering Of cripples TO the or
binary observer, would seem strange
but these men. although marred for
life. take as much interest in the events
OF life as their more fortunate brethren.
During the meeting this morning a
wild steer that had escaped from a
drove at Fourth and Railroad came
dashlng down the tracks, Smith ran
after IL with the result that the animal
turned on its pursuer who sought
shelter In the watch box. This Incl
dent however brought this strange con-
ference TO an end FOR the day.

The Weiser semi-weekly signal. (Weiser, Washington Co., Idaho) 1904-1911, 1904-08-13

Before May %, 1882, no smoking was
allowed in the streets or parks of Ber-
lin, and offenders were punished by a
fine for the first infraction of the rule
and by Imprisonment afterward. The
king of Prussia in those days detested
smoking and the police and the mill
tary men were under strict orders to
arrest any one who dared to smoke In
public. 1t is recorded that when Ma
poleon occupied Berlin hundred years
ago the Berliners eagerly took advan-
tage OF the opportunity to smoke, and
took special delight in putting smoke
in the faces of the police, who had then
no power to arrest them. In 1882, how
ever, the restriction was withdra wn.
and since then the people have cele-
brated the anniversary with great Joy

covering over two acres, where they lie

that particular spot was the center of
