A PERILOUS TRIP
Luck Saves Near by Farmer and
the Green Bay E Western
Switch Engine.

Tuesday night an accident occurred
on the Green Bay s. Western Ry. Co.'s
tracks, which might have been very
serious. There is no accounting for
the fortunate termination of the
affair, save the element of luck.
On the evening in question, farmer
by the name of Lacey, was coming
to town with a paper roll for the Con-
solidated company, when few miles
north Of the city the team became un-
manageable and ran away. The team did
not keep to the highway or everything
might have been all right, but rather
left the safe and beaten roads for a
perilous trip across the slough, over
the dump" and on to the railroad
bridge. When the third span of the
bridge was reached one of the horses
slipped and fell. 1t must be borne in
mind that the team was dragging a
heavy bOb-sled, and during the time
they started on the trestle across the
slough, until they were stopped by the
fall, they were running on ties with
space openings between them, and
running water below. 1t is quite un-
eXplainable how the frightened
animals could have accomplished the
feat without injury, but the fact re-
mains that neither driver, horses or
sled were damaged.
The extra train men who were
switching about 1880 O'Clock, backed
! their engine down to within thirty
five feet of the team before making the
discovery. In all probability they
would have run into the rig, had it not
been for the fireman noticing the lam
tern of the owner of the team who had
picked himself up after being thrown
out and followed the team to this place.
Planks were secured, and after lifting
the horse to its feet, walked the team
across the bridge. The sled was then
attached TO the engine and pulled up to
the depot. where the horses were har-
messed, and Mr.. Lacey started for
| home.

pRTeIDENT PREPARING A MES.
SAGE TO CONGRESS.
In II >lHe Will Favor the Construc.
tlOn Of a Loo Canal Across the
Pana ma 1stNmus.

Washington, jan. 16.-PresiIent
Roosevelt is preparing to send to con-
gress q message which will favor a lock
canal. He had conferences with sew
eral members of the senate committee
on interoceanic canals, including Sen
ators Kittredge, Knox, Dryden, Hop
kris and Ankeny.
The committee has in its possession
an advance copy Of the report fur
nished by the president. for use in ex.
aiming Chief Engineer Stevens when
he appeared before the committee at
the opening of the investigation made
by the senate. The report contains the
views of the consulting board as en-
pressed before the foreign members left
this country, together with the amend
ments that have been made since, and
to which Gen. Davis is now getting
their Endorsement.
The message of the president will fa-
vCr the construction of a lock canal,
on the ground that it is in the interest
of the present generation and not for
posterity, and that it can be built at
less cost of time and money. 1t is said
that the president incidentally asked
the republican members of the commit
tee to support the nomination of Jo-
seph B. Bishop to be a member Of a
canal commission and to use every ef-
fort to prevent indiscriminate reduc-
lions of the salaries of canal officials,
which he fears may be the result of the
investigation.
