Attempt to Wreck.

Woodburn Independent; An attempt
was made to wreck the branch train
arriving here at $3.50, last Thursday
afternoon. At point 100 yards east
Of the stage road crossing some one
had fastened a large iron burr, 1A
inches square and an inch thick, to the
rail with wira VIM. Byrd, of Mckee,
who was walking to Woodburn, dis
covered the obstruction, and removed
it just before the arrival Of the train,
which would possibly have been thrown
from the track if it had struck the
burr. The wire was loosely wound, and
is supposed to have been the work of
boys.

BOYS BREAK
SWITCH LOCK
Two Boys Tried for Breaking
Switch Lock at Fry
Station

Albany Democrat: On Monday even.
ing, May 18th, II was discovered that
the lock Of the switch at Fry station,
on tho Lebanon road, had been broken.
Three trains had passed over it, but,
fortunately, not moving the swith. The
Southern Pacific placed the matter in
the hands Of J. J. Fitzgerald, a special
detective, of Portland, who worked up
the case, resulting in the arrest last
evening Of Earl Kiger by Sheriff White
and this morning Victor Wickizer, by
Chief of Police McClain. The investi.
cation showed that on Sunday, May
14th, several Of the boys, after play
ing baseball, stopped at the switch
whom the lock was broken by young
Kiger, assisted by young Wickizer, the
other boys asserted by Kiger alone,
while Kiger claimed the Wickizer boy
also used a stone on the lock. The
boys realized that they had done wrong
and made the lock as safe as possible,
but kept still about the matter. The
ofense was really penitentiary one,
but owing TO the previous good reputa-
tion of the boys and the fact that the
act was not malicious, they were per
mitted TO plead guilty to simply injur-
ing railroad property, and each was
fined $50 by Justice Risley, The boys
both belong to excellent families, and
the leniency under the circumstances
was the proper thing. The oifense,
though, is serious one, and the les.
son should be one to last the boys for
life, and be warning to others.

"Raised'' the Bill.

Grants Pass Observer; A novel
piece Of counterfeiting was detected
at the First National Bank in this city
last Saturday. 1t was in the form of
a counterfeit silver certificate, and was
brought in with some other paper mon
ey' by a travelling man, who wanted to
exchange it for gold. The bill had
originally been one-dollar silver GER
tifcate, but wherever the mark Of de-
nomination appeared it had been erased
aud "twenty" stamped in its stead,
making bill which very much resem'
bled the real article, and might easily
have been passed on unsuspecting per
sons, although the design Of a One-dOl-
lar and a twenty-dollar bill differs
considerably.

Evidently the family took the hint,
for in September they were back in
Chicago, when Jennie attempted to
make the West Chicago Street Railway
pay another paralysis comedy, but
without success. That was on Septem-
Der 10TH The very next day her moth
er had her arm wrenehed by a car of
the Chicago City Railway, and re-
eeiyed 800 for it, And then came the
final play which put an end to the per
sonal INJURY ambitions Of this inter
esting family.
A Claim on Christmas Eve.
The claim agent Of the Rock Island
Railway was sitting in his Office on the
Christmas Eve following the events
narrated above when the large woman
of dark complexion" described by DIR.
Hubbard, walked into his Office and in
formed him that her daughter Fannie
Freeman had been injured while riding
on one of the trains Of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The
woman averred that she and her two
daughters, Jennie and Fannie, had
boarded the Peru accommodation train
which left Chicago station at 4;5O p.
M. on December 18th, and that Q sud
den start Of the train had caused Fan
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1905-06-30

mic to fail, striking her back against
a seat. As result the girl had become
paralyzed, and ruined for life.
Now tho claim agent had never
heard Of the Freeman family; but in
tho course Of his investigations he
found several incongruities in the
mothers statement which made him
suspicious. For instance, no three sin.
gle trip tickets to Eneewood had been
punched by Conductor II. II. Fenimore,
who was in charge Of the 1850 train.
Engineer Eli Holder and the entire
train crew were positive that no sudden
start had been made or was possible
at the scene of the "aeeident. Again
the claimant stated that she and her
uninjured daughter had saved them
selves from falling by catching hold
Of the straps changing in the car, "
whereas the Rock Island ears were not
equipped with straps. And for this
apparent ruination Of young girls
life, for this prospect Of a long future
Of invalidism, they asked only $1,000.

stuck Pins in the Girls Feet.

On April 20, 1894, Jennie Freeman,
of IS Dover street, Boston, Massachu-
setts, claimed to have been injured by
slipping on a banana peel on West
End Street Railway Companys ear in
Boston. DIR. r. p Hubbard, of "A
Boylston street, examined her for the
company and found her in an appar-
emily paralyzed condition.
As result Of the Doctors report
the West End Railway Company paid
her 1895.
On the 18th Of May, 1894, Jennie
Freeman made a claim on the Boston
& Maine Railroad Company for al
legged injuries received while getting
out of one Of the company's cars. She
said she had stepped upon banana
peel, which she produced in evidence.
She accepted sl25 in settlement Of this
case.
On June 2s, 1894, Jennie Freeman
claimed to have been injured while
boarding a train Of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company by stepping
upon banana peel, which threw her
backward against seat. She alleged
total insensibility Of the lower part Of
her body, practically amounting to
paralysis. DIR. s. f. Owens, for the
company, made every possible test,
even sticking pins into her legs, but she
appeared totally insensible to pain. So
the company settled with her for 5000.
Same Girl Under Another Name.
On June 8, 1894, one Elsie Belden,
of 75 Dover street, Boston, claimed to
have been injured on a train of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road by stepping upon a banana peel
just after the train arrived in Boston.

ers' Protective Association inspires in

One Jennie freeman, then eighteen
years Of age and describing herself as
tailoress, on January 8, 1898, made
claim upon the Chicago City Railway
Company upon the ground that she had
been badly injured in collision be-
tween two of its cable cars. She
claimed TO be paralyzed from the
thighs downward. Her physician was
a eolored man practicing in Chicago.
The company sent it's examining sur
geon to call upon her. He believed the
girl was shamming, although the symp-
toms were so eleverly simulated that
it was apparently case Of real par
alysis. Believing that it would be
cheaper to settle than TO go to law the
company paid the girl $500.
On October 5, 1898, Jennie Freeman,
again describing herself as a tailoress,
made a claim upon the Manhattan Ele-
waited Railroad in New York TO the
effect that she had been injured by
falling against a car door Of Second
Avenue train as it swung around the
curve at Twenty-third street She
said that she had been accompanied
by her sister, Fannie Freeman, at the
time of the accident, and she accepted
