situated far owurd b frigid north

A description OF nustrond rs 1t APP

as follows:
"In nastrond there is n vast and
direful structure with doors that face
the north. This building Is formed
entirely OF the backs and scales of ser
peuts, wattled together like wicker
work. But the heads of the serpents
themselves are turned toward the in
side OF the hall. and they continually
vomit forth floods of venom, in which
must wade throughout eternity all
those who commit murder or swear to

lance Down the Stream.

When the combination freight and
passenger train No. ( pulled into the
yards Monday night ii was found that
]. b. Hawley, the head brakeman,
was missing. A hurried search was
made but nothing could be found OF
him. Sheriff l.. p. Slater was tele-
phoncd for and he accompanied the
train crew with an engine out as far
as G~lengary, all OF the way being
thoroughly searched for some trace
OF the missing trainman. The search
was continued until 3 o'clock yester-
day morning. when it was abandoned
until daylight. Nothing have been
heard of him the train went out in the
morning without him.
About $3.50 o'clock Tom Kern, fore
man of the construction crew, found
the body of the missing man in Spring
creek, lodged against a gravel pile
about $50 yards below where the
track crosses the stream. Acting Cor
oner Mcfarland and County Attorney
Belden were notified and a coroner's
iury was summoned at once. On the
Jury were ]. c. Mattoon. Joe Briggs,
Fred Shaw, John Rowley, William
Woods and Donald Fowler. They went
out and viewed the body as it lay in
a., .,anls aNtn. ,rhf,b II 40 faEDn
from the water and placed in the I'M
dertaking room OF George Creel. Here
a thorough examination was made by

were found. Superintendent +. II.
Hoar was notified of the finding of
the body and Is making an effort TO
get into communication with the I'M
fortunate mans mother, who is said
to be a widow m living In Brain

The coroner's jury met in the office
of Justice Mcfarland last night about
Q o'clock and held the inquest. En-
gineer Butler, Conductor Hay!.and
and Fireman Davenport. the other
members of the train crew on No. 4,
and Foreman Tom Kern were eXamin-
cd. The train men testified to having
seen Hawlcy on the third car back
at the crossing OF Main street. How
he came to fall into the creek none
of them could tell. the theory was
advanced that as there was come
m on the top of the car and lIaw-
ley did not have on any ~Ovorshoes,
he slipped and fell from the car. Eth.
or that or he got off of the car and
fell as he started across the tressle.
The latter theory seems the more
probable. as one of his gloves was
found on the bank of the creek ncar
The railroad crossing. His lantern
was found IN the creek about fifty
feet below the crossing. After hear
ing all OF tho facts. SO far as the rail
road men knew them, the jury retired
and within a few moments brought in
a verdict as follows:

ley came to his death from accidental
drowning"
Hawley was n powerfully bull
