LOCAL YARDS

3, MEETS INSTANT DEATH.
STUCK HIS HEAD THROUGH
THE CAR WINDOW.

j. t. Walters, newsbey on South
bound passenger train No. 8, was in
stantly killed as the train was pass
ing through Columbia Monday
morning. The boy stuck his head out
of one of the car windows and was
caught by projecting freight door and
jerked from the car His head was
crushed like an egg shell and death
must have been instantaneous. There
are several versions of why the door to
the freight car extended out so far.
One is that it was drawn out by the
suction of the passing train, and an
other that some men had been unload
ing lumber from the car and had push
ed the door out and left it in dan
gerous position.
The boy. who is about seventeen
years of age, lives at 142 North Cherry
street, Nashville, and his remains were
prepared for shipment and sent tt

WITH WOMAN
AS CHIEF.
BURGLARS DO DARING BIT OF
WORK IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 20.-With wo-
man as their chief, gang of burglars
daringly entered a wholesale cloth
ing store few doors from Broadway
on Twentieth street late Wednesday
night and carried out truck-load OF
valuable apparel while the occupants
of the Continental Hotel, opposite,

The woman directed the men of the

each bundle of clothing out to the

They believed the store was moving
and that the woman was saleswo-
man or floor-walker in charge OF the
work.
The Mace was that of I. A. Harris

street. The bright lights OF Broad
way illuminated the entrance 10 the
building and it would not have been
possible for the burglars to make the
raid without being observed, for at
e all hours Of the day and night persons
in the hotel across the street are
awake. 1t is evident that the burglars
g had taken this into consideration and

ALL CAN SWIM


Special to The Sentinel.
Paris, Sept. 15.-The French in
ventor who devised the motor boats
has now conceived an adaptation of
the petrol motor for supplying the
human body with mechanical power
for propulsion in the water. Every
man may thus become his own motor
boat.
In order to use the device a per-
son need not be a Swimmer, for in ad-
dition to its propulsive powers the
apparatus is devised to keep the body
afoat. A water-tight box containing
little petrol engine and a fuel sup
ply strapped to the users back.
Other parts of the apparatus com
prise a saddle-like arrangement, on
which the user sits; air bags to give
the necessary buoyancy and propell-
err which is operated by the engine.
Two rods give control of the speed,
while the steering is accomplished by
altering the position of the handle.
The inventor thinks that the chief
use of the apparatus will be in life
saving. For in an emergency the
operator has only to thart the motor
by turning a little crank. sling the
box on his back and get into the sad
die and launch himself in the water

FAMOUS BEAUTY

last evening Addie Lamont was found
dead in her cabin at Silver Dale. She
was more than 10 years old, and had
probably the most remarkable car
Ger of any of the early settlers of the
state.
In the early sixties she was a
reigning belle among the sporting
class in Denver and was at the time
remarkable for her beauy. In 1868
she and her paramour were arrest
ed for stealing a box of cigars from
a house standing on the bank of Cher
ry creek where the Larimer street
bridge now crosses.
She came to Geortetown about SO
years ago. since which she had lived
a secluded life. being the greater part
of the time charge of the county.
Her death was no doubt due to
heart failure.

ers' association was up against 1t last

car load shipment of fruit was sent

Fortunately the deliveries from
the growers was not as heavy as

have been sent out had the rail
road furnished the rolling stock. A
large amount of fruit had to lay over
