MEETS INSTANT DEATH
ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC
j. w. Mcdonald, a Bridge.
Builder, Is Killed by
a Train.
Special TO The Tribune,


OGDEN, Aug. 2O.-J. W. Mcdonald,
member of the bridge and building
force of the Southern Pacific, was in
stantly killed at o'clock this morn
ing, about two miles west Of Elko, New,
by train No. 2. His head was split wide
open, and one arm and one leg was
broken and the body otherwise mutt
lated
Mr.. Mcdonald was on a railroad We
locipede at the time and is said to have
been riding toward the train. Engineer
Fitzgerald of the Overland whistled to
notify him, but Mcdonald seemed to
pay no attention to the signal and re-
mained sitting on his machine, appar-
entity asleep. The train was stopped
and the body picked up and brought to
Elko, where it was left with the Coro-
ner. 1t is stated that when picked up
two liquor bottles were found on him,
one about empty and the other full,
and this gave rise to the surmise that
Mcdonald was intoxicated.
Among the railroad men who knew
him, however, this theory is not accept
ed. as they all claim that he was a
strictly sober man. He has brother
IN the same gang who will look after
the body, and while complete reports
have not yet been obtained by the Off
cials at Ogden, owing to trouble with
the wires, it has been said that the
dead man, who was about IS years of
age, has a family at American Fork,
Utah. Additional information will
probably be received later

FIRE IN TRANSFORMER HOUSE
Fire in Building at Saltair Caused By
Water

Rain yesterday caused a fire to break
out in the -.g electric transformer in
the pump house about n quarter of a
mile north of the Saltair beach pavilion,
and before the con1agration could be
extinguishcd the building in which the
big transformer is located was almost
completely destroyed, The rain, in
dripping THROUGH the roof of the shed,
got In the instrument and caused a
short circuit and fred the building.
There was no one at the house at the
time the blaze broke out, but employees
Mt the Saltair pavilion hurried over with
buckets to fight the flames. The cur
rent remained on, 1t being impossible
to get telephone connection with the
Salt Works, at which place the switch TO
the instrument is located
The fire fighters found that the house
was charged with electricity, and it was
almost impossible to get water on the
flames. One man, r. st. GEORGE by
name, tried TO 90 up to the top of tho
house and received a shock which threw
him heavily to the ground. Mr.. Harris,
the foreman at Saltair, picked up a
large board and attempted TO break
a hole through the door. The current
ran down the wet board and Mr. Har-
ris received severe shock. \ man was
sent over TO the Salt Works, distance
of about a mile and a half, and had
the current shut of. After this the
blaze was soon cxtinguished,
The wires in the transformer were,
many Of them, stripped of their insula-
ton by the FIRE. Financial loss is small

estate of his brother, the late T. j.
kurtz. has received notification from
Gov, Pennypacker of Pennsylvania to
the effect that he has been appointed
the delegate from the State Of Penn
sylvanla to the fourteenth annual Irri-
CATION congress at Boise, which con
venes on September 3, and will run
to September 8. Mr.. Kurtz will ac-
cept and, together with Mrs Kurtz,
will go to Boise in time for the Con-
gress.
This is not the first time that Mr..
Kurtz has been similarly honored. He
was the delegate to the eleventh con-
gress, which was held at Ogden, and
was the only delegate from his State.
The result was that he held q caucus
with himself and elected himself the
chairman of every committee that his
State was entitled to.
MIR. Kurtz was also the delegate to
the twelfth congress at El Paso, and
the thirteenth at Portland, and is now
honored by the selection to the four
teenth congress at Boise
While Mr. kurtz comes from q mod
erately moist region he has always
been an ardent student of the needs
and possibilities of irrigation for the
arid regions. and has been n useful
member at the last four congresses. He
will go to Boise with the same enthu-
siasm that he has always felt in the
subject, but it strikes the people, his
friends and acquaintance, as odd. that
one who has come to be regarded as a
resident of Ogden should be selected to
represent the great State of Pennsyl-
vania.

GREAT PIECE OF WORK.
Contour of Ogden, in Clay, Exhibited
By Luke Crashaw.
Special 10 The Tribune.

special 10 The Tribune
OGDEN, Aug. 20.-Luke Crashaw of
Ogden, who is establishing reputation
as modeler in clay of mountain and
the Lewis and Clark exposition in Port
land last year contour model Of great
size of the Bear River irrigation sys-
tenn, for which he received a gold medal
has just completed another model which
is on exhibition in the harness shop of
Read Bros. on Twenty-fourth street
This latest model is a contour and
bird 's-eye view of the city of Ogden,
looking eastward from the line Just
west of the Ogden Union depot, and
taking in the details of the city, show
ing every block in the section included,
with buildings and trees and parks real
istically depicted, though. of course, the
minor details are out of proportion to
the scale of the general and extensive
region included.
The mountains to the east of Ogden
and the region in the northeast corner
of this valley are laid out in the clay
with wonderful likeness to the actual
conditions, both as TO outline, contour
and colorlng. The model is six and one
half feet in width and nine feet in
length, and in the depletion of a model
of the approach to the mountains and
the high peaks themselves, and the view
of Ogden canyon and North Ogden can
yon is wonderfully realistic.
1t is a remarkable example of the
work that patience, combined with the
artistic instinct that is SO highly de-
veloPed in Mr.. Crashaw, may accom-
plish. Just what disposition will be
made of this latest product at the hands
of Mr., Crashaw is not yet known. He
has expended his time and effort for
the purpose Of producing work Of art,
whicn this is, so far as the approach
to the bench and the mountains to the
east Of Ogden are concerned, and the
view of the city and that portion of
the valley at North Ogden are on a
much larger scale than are the noun
tains and canyon. The whole makes
most pleasing view. The magnifcencc
OF the mountains and canyons to the
east and northeast of Ogden, especial
ly, are portrayed with wonderful accu-
racy and with true details. not only in
outline and contour and elevation, but
in coloring. And it is all made in fat
clay
