BALD HEAD SAVES His LIFE
Reelection from Headlight on Drunken
Mans Shining Poll Gives En-
gdneer Signal.

Northport, Wash.-The vigilance Of 4
locomotive engineer, Charles F. Hoofer.
saved the life of man the other even
ing. AS his train swept round the
curve onto the long bridge crossing the
Columbia river, the headlight of the en-
gine fell upon something glittering be-
tween the guard rails across the bridge.
Hoover reversed his engine in time to
stop within ten feet of the PROSTATE body
of q bald-headed drunken man. Shak-
ing the fellow, the engineer and train
crew sought his name, but could get no
Ineligible answer. When he saw the
engine and was Informed of his narrow
escape from death. the man was par
TALLY sobered.
It was the reflection of the engines
headlight from the mans bald head that
gave the signal. Had his hat been on
his head, or had he laid down with his
feet toward the approaching engine, his
death would have been certain, as the
night was Intensely dark and the pros
trate mans body mingled with the other
shadows on the bridge. The train crew.
put the fellow on the pilot and brought
him to Northport, where he disappeared

The storm period central on the

The storm period, 4th to 9th, will
be ushered in as early as the 4th
with decided and rapid change to
warmer in all parts westward. The
barometer will show marked atmo-
spherio depreslons in the same
regions, and as these conditions in
crease and move eastward over the
country, series Of decided rain,
hail, wind and thunder storms will
begin, repeating themselve in many
localities for several successive days
leading up to the 9th. No sane
unbiased person will consider it
sensational to say that danger will
probably attend some OF these
storms, and those who camliy and
wisely weigh these probabilities will
suffer the least anxiety and most
surely escape bodily harm and ma
