TOURIST INRUSH
UNPRECEDENTED
RAILROADS EXPECT TO BREAK
ALL RECORDS
More Than 10000 Visitors Have Come
to Los Angeles During the Week
and Today's Arrivals May Bring
the Total to 25,ooo

To accommodate the unprecedented
passenger traffic from eastern points,
the Los Angeles transcontinental lines
are using the system of separate tourist
and baggage trains, and the end is
not yet.
From estimates based on the reports
Of railway officials It Is certain that
not less than 10000 travellers from east
ern points have set foot in Los Angeles
during the week. Saturdays record
will probably swell the figures to $4,000.
A total of fifteen trains of 100 cars
swarmed into the several depots yes
terday and there were lively doings
about those premises In the handling
of passengers and baggage.
The Southern Pacific handled seven
trains of seventy-three cars, the Santa
Fe five trains of sixty cars and the
Salt Lake three trains of fifty cars
during the day and all were loaded to
the guards.
Mountains Of Baggage
To handle the mountains of baggage
almost everything on wheels was
pressed into service and the bagga ge-
men were a tired lot before their tasks
were completed.
At z o'clock this morning the Salt
Lake will start Saturdays proceedings
with an insallment of sixteen carloads
of tourists and the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe expect to complete the
weeks record with a record breaking
day on the last day of the week, when
the time limit upon colonistS' tickets
will have almost expired.

A lad named LANES Ashton Shift

B. & o. last Thursday about 80 p.
m. that proved fatal. He was
riding freight train, and at point
a short distance west Of North Noun.
tain fell off aud was caught under
the W heels of the car. His right leg
was ground off just below the knee,
and the flesh and muscles were ripped
off back to the hip.
In this condition he laid along the
track until Friday morning when he
was found by some railroad men and
brought 10 Martinsburg where he was
taken TO the Kings Daughters hos
pital and Drs. Myers and Henshaw,
the com pany surgeons were notified.
They found him so much weakened
by the loss of blood and suffering that
was impossible to restore the circula-
ton, and the unfortunate youth lin
gered until Friday night at 10 O'Clock
when he died. His remains were tax
en- to the undertaking establishment
of w. H Wilen to be prepared Tor bu-

Efforts are being made to have a
city baseball league. composed OF five
clubs, start a series OF eleven games
Tuesday May 10. We hope the plans
will materalize which will mean the
Awakening of greater enthusiasm in
the game and the developing more
players to represent Martinsbu1g
against the teams of surrounding
cities and towns. Tickets will be sold
good fer the eleven games at 81. rs for
men and 75c for ladies'. This is very
reasonable as the tickets will also
admit holders to the grand stand. 1t
certainly should be an easy matter
for the boys 10 dispose of several
hundred tickets, yet we understand
they are ready to go ahead as soon as
$50 are sold. Let every one lend
helping hand and we will soon have
some interesting contests.
