ton of going to that place. Reaching
the station late he caught the rear
car and found the door locked, thus be-
ing forced to ride many miles in rag
ing blizzard. Numbed with cold and
unable longer to retain his hold he fell
from the car as the train neared Lin
coin. Though almost frozen he was
able to walk into the town to hos
pital, where he died Tuesday. The
body was brought home for burial
reaching Cherryville Friday evening
accompanied by Mr.. Sydney Beam, a
brother Of the deceased, and Mrs. Dan
Mauney, a sister. The funeral took
place at st. Marks Episcopal church
Saturday afternoon, the services being
conducted by Rev. c. I. Morgan and
Rev. r. H. Cline. The body was laid
to rest with Masonic honors. The de-
ceased was thirty-one years old and
unmarried. He went to Illinois about
four years ago; he returned home last
summer to attend the funeral of his
mother. His father and several broth
ers and sisters survive.

REAL HERO.
Was This Miner, Who Gave His Arm
to Save His Friends.

Was This Miner, Who Gave His Arm
to Save His Friends.
William S. Cronch, who registers
from Tacoma, Wash, Is staying at the
Grand Hotel. The subject of heroic
action in the presence of disaster be-
ing under discussion in the hotel lob
by a few days ago, Mr.. Cronch con-
tributed the details of an incident that
came under his observation. 1T was
about three years ago." said he, that
three men were engaged in sinking
shaft on a mining claim in a district
north of Spokane. Two men were at
the bottom Of the shaft, while the
third was at a windlass used to moist
the ore. The windlass man had turn
ed the crank until the bucket, weigh
ing, with contents, $50 pounds, had
come above the opening, and while ne
was about to swing it out to the sur
face the windlass crank handle broke
and in an instant the bucket was start
ed downward with seeming promise of
certain death to his two trustful 'pard-
ners' at the bottom of the shaft. But
the man at the windlass threw the
brake, a crude device intended to ar
rest the progress of the whirling shaft
and unwinding rope. 1t snapped and
broke-it had failed, and at the cru
cial instant when the men at the bot
tom of the shaft must have felt the
specter of approaching death near
enough to whisper their mortal SEN
tence, the man at the windlass thrust
his fist into the whirring cogs, that
minced it into pulp and continued their
revolutions. He was willing to give his
arm If the sacrifice would save his
comrades, and he fed 1t into the heart
less teeth inch by inch, until he had
thrust his shoulder against the biting
iron and stopped the windlass. The
mining boss saw the closing scene Oh
the heroic drama, and in tones of ear
nest sympathy he said, as he pointed to
the bleeding wreckage Of an arm and q
shortened shoulder blade: Jack. that's
too bad And then, suiting his words
TO the elf-forgetfulness of his heroism
in action, the miner answered: "Oh,
that is all right if only have saved
the boys He had saved them, and
such is sample Of some Of the men
to be met now and then in the humble
walks Of western life. Some have
achieved less whose praises have been
sounded long and loud."-New York

FATAL PREcAUTIoN.-A farmer in
Cumberland county was driving across
a railroad track when a train killed
both his horses and knocked him about
ten rods off his course. In the result
ing suit for damages the plaintiff was
on the witness stand, making out
good case. when the defendants law
yer asked him:
Did you take any precaution before
driving upon the track?'
The witness seemed reluctant to an
swer, but, being pressed to do so, final
ly stammered out:
wall, squire, took little-just
couple of swallers, that's all"
This started a new line Of defense.
and it turned out that the couple OF
swallows were the last in a pint flask
that had consoled the honest old farm
er along the road. This put new face
on the Standardization Journal.

A Feat of Strength.

4 L was a most peculiar case, so the
Insurance men said, with wsgs of the
.shead that meant much more that they
almight easily be induced to say with
,;iittle more provocation.
\ The building had been destroyed by
fire, and it's occupant, one Theodore
! Titewad, testified that he had held the
ofic$ safe suspended from a window
until the firemen had come to his re-
lief.
The attorney for the insurance COM
! epanies who were contesting the claim
on the building looked scornfully at
Theodore and the following cross-ex-
animation took place:
"Mr. Titewad, will you kindly tell
the jury what your approximate weight
is?"
About 10 pounds"
"Have you ever been known as an
athlete?"

"Have you ever before performed
--any noteworthy feats of strength"

"Now, what Is the weight Of the safe
you claim to have held suspended from
the second story window for five min
utes, with one hand and unassisted?'
"One ton
THAT will do. The witness may step
aside. and Fireman O'Rourke will take
the stand. All, Mr.. O'Rourke, will you
tell the jury whether Mr.. Titewad per-
formed this feat of strength he has
just sworn to-"
"Sure, sor, it weren't in his fate, but
in his hands that the shtringth were.

He SPOKE JAPANESE.-They told this
on a Pittsburger who is dead now and
therefore shall be nameless, but the
story is still told about Washington
when a crowd Of newspaper men fore
gather and talk over old times and
happenings. It was during the Harri-
son administration, and the Pittsburg-
er was hot on the trail OF a consul
ship. Several were suggested and re-
jected by the applicant, who didnt
want a government sit at Dahomey or
some other out Of the world place,
but a first-class charge.
Finally he picked on Yokohama as
the place where he would like to .ep-
resent Uncle Sam and secured an au-
dience with President Harrison.
"But do you understand the ilnpor-
tance of this position?" asked the pres
ident. Can you speak Japanese?
Oh, yes, the applicant understood
the importance of the position; also ne
could speak the language.
"Well," said the president, "let me
hear you speak it."
"All right! Ask me something IN
Japanese"
There was a laugh all round, but the
Pittsburg man did not get the position.

The Servant Girl.

Logan has at last come to the place
where the servant girl question is a
problem of no little moment. 1t isn't
a question of how to keep them once
they are secured, but how to find them,
where to get them. The mistresses
OF Logan are continuously inquiring
for help, but IL seems that no induce.
ment offered is sufficient to secure the
coveted assistance. There are many
splendid homes in this city where a
girl could find pleasant and profitable
employment, where she would be sur
rounded by culture and refinement
and yet would have every freedom and
liberty within reason. There are many
places here where girls desiring to at
tend school would be employed before
and after hours. The REPUBLICAN
has several inquiries day as to
whether there are any want ads"
running, and we are given to under
stand that good servant girl is now
almost priceless.
1t is another question as to the
cause of this dearth Of girls. Is it due
to the fact that the servant girls prove
so popular with the young men desir-
ing good housewives that they are all
getting married? May we look at this
as an evidence Of the extraordinary
prosperity of the valley? Possibly the
parents possessing large families of
girls are now so prosperous that they
will not let their girls go away from
home to work. 1t may be due to the
presence OF the big schools in our city.
The ambition of the girls has been
aroused and rather than work OUT
for few dollars a week they are taking
advantage of an opportunity to &c
to school. But whatever the cause,
the fact remains that many homes in
this city would like to have a servant
girl, and if pcrchance this should meet
the eye OF any young lady who desires
employment of this kind, places are
waiting for her here in Losaa

Franklin Notes.

Thanksgiving was observed by the
Franklin citizens in a splendid way.
A meeting was held In the meeting
house at 10 o'clock a. IN. The choir
sang a beautiful anthem, after which
Elder G. Monson offered prayer.
Bishop l.. l.. Hatch made u speech of
welcome. Elders Win Kirkup and
Thomas Durant sang my Country
tits of Thee" followed by a select
reading from Miss Elliott, Presbyter-
ian school teacher. The Sunday
school children sang song, after
which Miss Cynthia Hill gave recita-
tion entitled "The Legend Beautiful. "
Bros. Durant and Kirkup sang an
other song and |. n. Nash gave a
stump speech in which he related his
experience in coming from his native
country, Wales, Bro. Nash told how
he courted Mary Jones. Mary didn't
like him at first but he persisted and
was finally rewarded. The speech
was highly Amusing, most of it being
rendered in the Scotch dialect.
Following Bro. Nash there was
more singing and a fine speech by
VIM. Kirkup; a song and short speech
by Elder VIM. Challis, after which a

sang and Elder j. i. Hin pronounced

The Hobson rial

The preliminary hearing of VIM.
Hobson, who killed James Lynch in a
box car on the o. S. L., came off be-
fore Justice Thomas Y. Smith Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock. After hear
ing consider able evidence HobsOn was
sent to jail to await trial.
Sheriff Belnap, of Weber County,
testified that Hobson had confessed to
him that he had killed Lynch, but
said it was in self-defense; that the
two were in a box car on Nov. 2 as 1t
was being hauled over the o. S. l..
Hobson was seated on bench Of a
pile of lumber in the car when Lynch
sat down beside him. HobSon told
him there was not room there and
with that Lynch began to go through
IIobson's clothes as if he were after
his watch. Hobson moved away and
after some bad language on the part
of Lynch he made as though he was 60
ing to pull gun from his pocket At
this Hobson pulled his gun and fired.
Sheriff Rigby of this county, and VIM.
McCarty, yard clerk at Ogden for the
ID. & r. G.. also offered testimony
that was not dan aging in any sense
Alfred Parsons, brakeman on the
freight at the time Lynch was killed,
testified that he saw the men at
Cache junction and talked with Lynch
there. AS he was passing over the
train just before reaching the place
where Hobson said he shot Lynch, he
saw the men in the car and called to
them. One followed back to him
that they were all right. This rather
conflicts with statements made by
Hobson.
j. ii. Barker, Jr. testified that he
sold some cheese to Lynch on the
evening Of the killing, and that at thai
time Lynch said he had but fifteer
cents.
Hobson was not put on the stand
and his attorney, Winters of Pocatello
asked that he be discharged. Con
trary TO the expectation OF some VIII,
heard the evidence, Hobson was sen
back TO jail.

As usual, "the only" attempts to
dodge the issue. In an editorial iela-
tive to the coming school election it
insists that republicans were equally
guilty with the democrats in the de-
feat of Mr.. Brangham, the non-parti-
san nominee several years ago. How
do the people familiar with this trans
action look at the matter? Both
parties agreed to stand by the BIZ
partisan ticket, and the Bipartisan
nominee was Mr. Brangham. On
election day, however, Mr.. John Il.
Caine, q democrat, was sprung by
the democrats, and by slick work
among democrats and republicans was
elected over the Bipartisan nominee.
The democrats broke their faith with
the people and won out. We ask the
republicans of the Fifth ward, did you
have anything to do in nominating
John r. Game az that time? Every
republican up there will say mo-"
The republicans had as much to do
with that affair as they did with the
treachery enacted in 1898 when demo
cratic leaders turned one thlrd of the
democratic votes over to the republi-
can party expecting to pull them back
to the democratic ranks at their
pleasure. But no, the Denis did not
and would not come back and the
democratic leaders are in hole

pertidy which they have been guilty of
