dexterity in catching things on the fly
is really remarkable. Riders have been
known to catch a dill pickle while rid
ing at the rate of sixty-nine miles an
hour They sleep on their wheels as
comfortably as a 2-year-old child in its
little crib. Usually the track is sur
rounded by undertakers and pea and
shell men, who lOOfi after the riders
when they pass away.

HOLD UP ARTIST
 PICKED WRONG MAN

Officer Oscar Felton who patrols the railroad yards nightly had a unique ex- perience late Tuesday night. He was coming down the yards, when a man stepped from behind car and pointed something which resembled a gun at him, ordered him to throw up his hands and give him what he had. As the off, ficer could not do both at the same time, and suspecting that the would-be stickup man had phony gun, Felton said "sure l will'' and bringing up his 4 from the depths of his flask pocket, threw it down on the bold bad highway man. The officer then saw that the supposed weapon was crooked stick and he ordered the would-be robber to go with him. The latter expostulated with the officer saying that he was "only fooling." But Oscar had his lander up and said that he wouldn't t stand for fooling. Then his captive tried to make his getaway by telling Felton that a man had just been run over by the switch engine, but that al so failed to work and the officer brougl t his man up town and locked him in the county bastile.

WIFE BEATERS' DAY
 IN POLICE COURT
From Fridays Daily

Yesterday was poor day for wife beaters in Judge Thomas court. Frank Traversy, who was arrested Wednes- day night for maltreating his wife, who had left him, was the first offender. Luckily for Traversy, only charge of disturbing the peace had been pre- ferred against him, but he was given the limit for that, the fine imposed on him being $200 or two months in jail. He paid the fine.
 Pete Sachan, who was also arrested Wednesday night for like offense, got off easier. His wife appeared in court and wished to have the charge against her worse half withdrawn. She said that both had been drinking and that Pete twas only playing" when he pulled out her hair in large chunks and otherwise abused her. As Sachan had been in court before for a similar of fense, his wife plea had only the effect of mitigating the offense, making it a misdemeanor instead of felony, and the accused was fined $50, which le paid. Sachan is janitor at the Central school.

D''j FILINGS HAYyEE , NARROW ESCAPE Three Residences Escape By Narrow Margin From De-
 structiOn By Fire
From ThursdaN's Daily

The explosion of coal oil stove early this evening caused the destruc- tion of small frame house in the rear of Postmaster Allson's home and threatened with destruction the homes of Mir. Allison, l.. N Marks and H. L. Higdon. Only prompt and efficient work by the fire department saved the adjacent houses.
 The house which was destroyed WIS occupied by Sam Edmundson, colored man, and his wife, who is employed as cook at the Allison home. At the time the stove exploded Mrs. Edmundson was at the Allisons' preparing the evening meal, and her husband sue ceeded in saving their trunks, the re- mainder of their property being de- stroyed.
 The home of Mir. Marks is but twen- ty-five feet from the house which was destroyed and for a time it looked as though it would catch fire. MT. Hig- don's home is short distance in the rear and the Allison home is about for ty feet distant. Had there been the least bit of wind all of the adjacent houses could not have escaped destruc- tion. The fire department was on the scene in short time after the alarm was given. Good assistance was given them by horseman, whose name could not be learned, who helped pull the hose up hill.
 The entire loss is estimated by MT Allison, who owned the building, at $500, fully covered by insurance.

WIFE HEATERS
 ARE ARRESTED Two Globe Men Alleged to Have Abused Spouses Last
 Night Both Jailed
From Thursdays Daily

Two men were arrested last night for alleged i'll treatment of their respective wives. The first arrest was that of Frank Travasy, gambler. His wife appeared at the sheriff's vffice at ot out midnight and begged the officers to ar rest her husband, who had threatened to kill her. Travasy must have been creating considerable disturbance at his home on Oak street, for when Officers Gish and Peterson arrived neighbor was in front of the house with double barrelled shotgun. Travasy was ar rested and locked up in the county jail. His wife stated that her husband had mistreated her and that she had re- fused three days ago to live with him any longer; but last night he came to the house and abused her to such an extent that she was afraid of her life.
 The officers had no sooner disposed of the first case when a man appeared at the jail with the narrowing tale that Pete Checker, the janitor at the Cen tral school, was trying to become a widower. When the deputies arrived at the janitor's home they found Pete in bed with his shoes on and bunch of his wife's hair clutched in one hand. His spouse showed signs of having been the subject of a severe attack of nervousness on the part of her husband, who had undoubtedly tried to damage her personal appearance if not to kill her.
 Both Travasy and Checker will be tried in the justice court some time to- dav

MINING NEWS
 IF DISTRICT New Hoist Going Up at Globe Consolidated Good Ore
 at Inspiration
From Wednesdays Daily


 The camp of the Globe Consolidated Mining company is a busy place this week, as all operations are confined to the surface where the new hoist is being installed over the shaft on the Gem. Work has been discontinued in the shaft until tomorrow evening, when it is expected the hoist will be in place and ready to renew sinking operations.
 The shaft has now acquired depth of 250 feet in formation which makes excellent sinking. It is still quart zite conglomerate and Superintendent Wayne expects to make record for rapid sinking in the next thirty days.
 The recent strike in the Gray shaft of the Old Dominion looks good to the management of the Globe Consolidated, and it is believed that the same vein will be encountered at depth of about 1 100 feet in the Gem.
 Cleaning Mallory Drifts
 At the Mallory shaft of the Globe Consolidated, the former Globe-Boston mine, work of pumping out the shaft has been concluded, all of the water having been pumped up. The drifts on the 450 level are in somewhat dilapi- dated condition, owing 10 the fact that caveins have occurred in a number of places. A large force of men will be put to work at once cleaning out the drifts and retimbering them, so that future work in the mine, which will be carried out on an extensive scale. may b. prosecuted in safety. Veins had been encountered in the three drifts in the Mallory, but none of them had been developed to any great extent. There is also good sulphide showing in the bottom of the shaft.
 Good Ore at Inspiration
 Splendid and fruitful development work is being prosecuted at the Inspi- ration mine. A winze is being sunk from the Woodson tunnel, the main WI oi Iiit Sou pdiiyy dl depth of only 45 feet the winze is in high grade of sulphide, which is getting better with increased depth. The com pany has certainly fine showing of ore.
 Installation of machinery for the mill is still in progress and it is expected that everything will be in readiness for operations in very short time. The initial capacity of the mill will be 75 tons, but it is so arranged that with few additions it can acquire capacity of 400 tons.
 The management is still prospecting for water in Webster gulch with good indications of soon having an ample supply. An increased flow has been struck in the well below the mill.
