EARLY

In the pioneer days of ~railroading it
was sometimes necessary for the
freight conductor to run forward over
the roofs Of the cars to shout orders
to the engineer. Travelling at night
was generally avoided, though one
road adopted the eXpedient of running
ahead of the locomotive a fiat car
loaded with sand, on which a bonfire
was kept burning as a headlight.

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-01-20

The children of the family-one is
apt TO look on them as burdens, bothers
and expenses. When the baby comes,
be it ever so welcome, the mother has
more work to do. AS it grows into
childhood and on to maturity, it is
more and more care, worry and ex-
pense. And SO the little children, the
innocent trespassers, are borne with
as patiently as possible untilthey grow
to asuccessful manhood or womanhood.
Few stop TO think deeply about this. or
it would be plainly seen how erroneous
the impression.
The children of the family, instead
of being burdens, are burden-bearers;
small saviors who are daily means of
grace, and who lead the world-worn
parents once more into the paths Of in
nocence and peace. A baby's tiny
hand had c1asped around his mother S
finger has sti1led heart-throbs of sor-
row and of bitter trouble; a baby's
arms around his fathers neck have
brought to the mans weary brain a
renewal of that love which is all that
makes life livable.-Salt Lake Herald.

Death In a Coffee Pot.

The following dispatch from San Ber-
nardo, dated November 23d, was handed
to Nugget reporter this week. The
victim, James Murray, formerly worked
in this camp and is well known among
the miners here:
Death lurked in coffee pot on the
desert last night, the utensil suddenly
exploding with terrific report, tearing
big hole in the stomach of James Muir
ray, miner. He was placed on the
Santa Fe overland and brought to the
county hospital, dying just before the
train reached this city this morning.
"There is considerable mystery sur
rounding the affair. The unfortunate
miner had started for the Gold Roads
mining district on prospecting trip, ac-
companied by man who had recently
worked with him on the Salt Lake CON
struction force. While cooking supper
over their camp fire coffee pot which
Murray had filed with water and placed
over the flames, blew up.
1t was shocking sight that confront
ed the companion when he rushed to
where Murray was struggling in the
dust. He was almost disemboweled,
and mixed with the mass of blood and
clothing were fragments of metal from
the coffee pot, which had been blown al
most completely through him.
''The only theory is that in some man
ner dynamite got into the coffee pot, and
was unnoticed by Murray. The men
had quantity of the explosive in their
outfit, but whether the dynamite got
into the pot by accident or with design
is matter that has not been cleared
up"

The Seven Ages Up-to Date.

The stork disappears, and we look
into the cradle and behold male
child. Alter running the gauntlet of
measles, mumps and chicken pox he
enters school. AT the age Of ten he is a
red-headed, freckled-faced boy, and
the terror of the neighborhood. At
twelve he is an apprentice in print
ing office AT eighteen he has ac-
quired two cases Of long primer and
an armory press, and is the editor Of
a country newspaper. At twenty he
is married. AT thirty be is bald-head-
ed, stoop-shouldered and the father of
a large family. At thirty-five he is a
corpse in cheap pine coffin, and as
500 delinquent subscribers file past
his bier for the last look they are
heard to say, ''He was a good fellow,
but he couldn't save his money. -

Mrs. M. Morgan visited in Boise few
days this week, returning home
Wednesday.
Thirty-one men are now employed at
Sinker Tunnel, an increase of eleven
since last week.
There has been rumor the last few
DAYS of an important mining deal in
camp, but the news could not be verified
before going to press.
Mrs. John Brunzell entertained the
ladies of the Guild yesterday afternoon
at her home. After the regular business
meeting very fine luncheon was served.
Mr.. Arthur O'Keefe, formerly a we'll
known rancher at South Mountain, and
for many years respected citizen Of
Owyhee, was operated on. Tuesday, at
st. Alphonsus hospital, Boise, for an
affection of the bladder from which he
has been suffering for nearly year. He
is said to have withstood the shock Of
the operation nicely, and it is hoped by
his many friends that he may have
found relief from his trouble.
The Idaho State Press association has
held three days convention in Boise
this week, attended by large number
OF members, who have had royal good
time Of it besides transacting much
business. These meetings Of the news
paper men are not mere junkets, but are
gatherings Of the fraternity where the
members form friendships, discuss mat
ters of mutual interest which better
prepare them for their worthy callings.
The citizens of Boise entertained them
right royalty. We expect next week to
givea fuller account Of the manner in
which they were entertained.
l.. G. Clark of Silver City, who was
appointed a guard at the penitentiary
some months ago. but who has been
laid up in the hospital at Boise for sc
long time past, first with typhoid fever
and then with complication Of diseases

from the hospital to Hot Lake, Oregon,
with the hope that he may get cured.
He is now merely the shadow of the bic
fellow his friends in Owyhee once knew,
He had become very respondent at the
hospital. but the confidence he has in
the effects of the change to Hot Lake, il
is hoped, will restore him.
