JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES
MOTORMAN WARNED PASSEN-
GERS CAR WAS RUNNING AWAY.
Two Jump and Are injured, While
Those Who Remained on the Car
Escaped Without Scratch.

Through the parting of a brake
chain on a Montavilla electric car,
says a Portland, Ore, dispatch, the
motorman lost control of the car at a
gravel switch with a dead end. He
opened the car door and warned all
the passengers to jump for their lives.
Only two followed his advice. one a
woman, who rolled down an embank-
ment and was severely bruised; the
other a man, who fell on the track
behind the car and received severe
outs about the head. The passengers
who remained in the car were un-
hurt, the car coming to an abrupt stop
from striking the ties, at the end OF
the track. This is the same line on
which one man was killed and thirty
injured last week.

WooIIey Bounced From Office.

A special from Washington says the
president has ordered the dismissal
of w. S. Woolley, assayer in charge Of
the government assay Office at Boise,
Idaho. The peremptory removal of H.
Smith Woolley from the position Of
assayer in charge at the government
assay Office in Boise is the second
forced change there in little over
year. A year ago last fall s. J. w.
Cunningham was removed after hav-
ing refused to resign. This removal
was purely political, however, no
charges or complaints having been
made against him. In fact, he had
been frequently commended for the
manner in which he had conducted
the Office, which the director of the
mint had held up as an example for
other similar institutions.

The fire broke out in some unoccu-

belongings and not few Of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take

caught fire and the youngsters were
burned about the face and hands.
