A head-on collision between
two freight trains on the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad oc-
CURED five miles south of Leban-
on last Wednesday morn ng.
Two members of the crew of
train No, so were killed and an
other was badly injured. The
engineer of No. 80, south-bound,
fell asleep at the throttle, and
the train, instead Of stopping at
Penick's according to orders to
meet the north bound train, pass
ed by the station at full speed
and crashed into the north-bound
train about a mile beyond. This
incident is another reminder that
when a person steps aboard a
train he places his life in the
hands of the engineer, hence the
utmost precaut!on shoulp be used
in selecting men for this position.
About Christmas time there are
more wrecks and collisions than
at any other time of the year,
and the best reason given for
them is, the engineer was drunk.

ded that no report whatever

there was such a division of opin-
ion that no tangible agreement

friends say a majority of the COM

nominated and his name should
have gone on the ballot, but, as
the election was not a general
one they did not feel at liberty
to throw out Hunters vote. DR..

WED. MAR. s, 1905.

Sneers and jabs may be pitched
at the magistrates of Adair coun.
ty, who are responsible for the
good, substantial bridges over oul
streams, the same may be hurled
at the News for it's advocacy and
support of such action, but such
efforts will not throttle the move
ment or prevent an unanimous
endorsement, by the people of
this county, after this great and
important work has been finished.
The Fiscal Court has been wrest-
ling with this progressive move
ment for several years and has
accomplished much already, but
the work is not finished. The
money spent for bridges has been
we'll placed, and it would be hard
to find a man who is not proud of
the fact that Adair county has
built and paid for four iron
bridges within the last six years.
There are other important cross
ings that should be bridged and
the sooner done the better. Our
article in last weeks issue touch
ing roads was based on
conditions, as we see them, and
not from a prejudicial view of the
present road making. If the Fis-
cal Court of this county builds
bridges it leaves the money spent
in substantial improvements, and
the people will approve it's ac-
ton. If it builds good, substan-
tial roads; roads that will stand
the test of winters and the strain
of heavy loaded wagons, the peo-
pie will likewise endorse it,
but If the Court spends the mon
ey in making grades that disap-
pear under the test of rain and
freezes in the winter, then that
is another proposition. We do
not believe that the money spent
in the use of the grader has ac-
complished any permanent good.
We do not believe that it is wise
to spend money for grades unless
stone is applied. In our opinion
the grader has cost the county
too much for the good accom-
plished, and if stone can not be
applied to the grades then relieve
the county of the burden of its
operation.

FLOOD IN new YORK SUBWAY
PASSENGERS ON STALLED CARS
HAVE a TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCE.

New York, June 13.-Train service
In the subway was suspended through
out the night as a result of the burst
ing of forty-eight-inch water main.
The flow of water continued uninter-
rupted four and one-half hours, while
|subalterns of the city water depart
ment wandered about in the vicinity
of Park avenue and Forty-first street
turning off one gate after another in a
futile search for the proper shutoff to
stop the destructive flood. Officials Of
the subway frantically telephoned in
all directions, but say they failed to
find any one in authority with the
requisite knowledge Of the mains. The
information furnished by private
citizen employed by contracting
firm. 1t is estimated that the loss to
the subway alone will be 100000.
Persons who were caught in the
trains near the flood when the power
failed had a terrifying experience. All
the lights were suddenly eXtinguished,
following series of loud explosions.
Men, women and children who filed
the cars were thrown into panic of
dread, as the tunnel suddenly became
intensely dark There was a rush for
the doors when the water began to
spray through the open windows, but
the guards held their ground and
closed the windows
The temperature quickly became
sitting and finally the guards were
unceremoniously pushed aside while
the passengers plunged into the water
stations, cropping along the walls in
order to avoid the third rail current.

in Deadly Conflict.
Blackfoot, Ida, June ia bloody
battle has taken place near the edge

cattle rustlers rounded up about ninety
head of fine steers and started toward
the most favorable railroad point, the

the outlaws. There was a running
fight for sixty miles. Two of the rus
tiers were killed, also one OF the set
tiers, and numerous wounds were sus-
tanned.
Later reports from the Jacksons
Hole country indicate that the battle
between ranchers and outlaws was
more sanguinary than was indicated
by the earlier reports. 1t is now
stated that six persons were killed,
four outlaws and two ranchers Sew

fight, five being shot down in one spot
