LIVED LONG.

Sometimes when we get to thinking the flood, we are led to wonder if they were anything like those of us who are now living. and we are also curious to know if they had the same feelings and tastes that people have at present Then we are also guilty of wondering how they managed to fill in the eight or nine centuries of their existence.
 Take old man Methuselah, for ex- apple. He remained a bachelor until he was 1s7 years old, according to the imagine that he had a s1y old time of 1t while he was thus enjoying his freedom. At least that is what one might reasonably expect of a young man of this day who could dodge mat rimony so long. The way he would go out with the boys and the larks he would have. would be somtehing to talk about when he had settled down. As he lived nearly eight centuries after his marriage he had plenty of time to repent IT ne LetL ulSpOSSOs
 Then think of old father Noah, who had been enjoying life for six centur- les before the flood came to give va riety to his existence. For all the strenuous times through which he pass ed, he only lacked half a century of being a thousand years old when he passed over. if our chronology Is on straight. That, as The Portland Ore gonian says, "was something like liv- Ing. It gave a man time to mature his ideas. to get acquainted with the world and to enjoy the fruits of his youthful industry. As for us ephem- eral phantoms, no sooner do we learn how to live than we must get ready to die"
 We think ourselves very smart and well informed in thees latter days, but we are little more than insects if we measure life by the number of the years that we live. Man that is born of a a woman Is of few days, and full of trouble" quoth old Job, who was just then having very uncomfortable time between his bodily afiictions and the "comforters" who were adding to his other miseries. And yet, as we under stand the Biblical account. he lived 14O years after his grevious troubles were over and he again became a pros porous citizen. That would be consid- cred long life now. In fact al though the span of human life was greatly shortened after the flood. we find that many of them lived to what would now be looked on as extreme old age, and there are professors and spec ialists who tell us that we could dupli- cate those long lives if we would go the right way about it. The Port land Oregonian tells us something. In this wa:

DEATH OF SECTION
FOREMAN is SHRoUDED
IN DEEP MYSTERY

Was the death of Patrick Egan the
result of fright when the wreck oc-
Cured, or was the man concerned in
the wreck in any manner?
Egan, who was numbered among the
Injured who were brought to Los Ange-
les early yesterday morning and con-
veyed to the Sisters hospital, died about
o'clock yesterday afternoon without
regaining consciousness.
His death, however, was not caused
by injuries, as there was not a scratch
on his body, but instead 1T was the re-
suit of an epileptic fit.
Whether Mr.. Egan was a passenger
on the train and the accident caused
the fatal attack of illness is not known,
and no one could be found last night
who could give any information regard
ing the unfortunate man. The only
thing known about him is that he was
an assistant section foreman on the
Southern Pacific and that ne was
brought to Los Angeles on the special
train which conveyed the wreck vic
Tins to Los Angeles, and with them he
was taken to the Sisters hospital. He
was unconscious at the time and he re-
NAMED in this condition until his death.
Attendants at the hospital supposed
that Egan was one of the wreck vic
Tins. but Dr. II. G. Gates, who was
among the force of physicians sent
from Los Angeles to the scene of the
accident and who returned on the train
bringing the injured taid last night
that Egan's death was the result of an
epileptic tlt
The phy ician said he supposed the
man had been picked Ip as a sick man
in the company's employ but said 1t

FIFTEEN VICTIMS OF
WRECK CARED FOR AT
SISTERS HOSPITAL

Swathed in bandages to relieve the
pain from serious cuts, bruises and
broken bones, fifteen victims of the
wreck were brought to Los Angeles
early yesterday morning and conveyed
to the Sisters hospital.
Among these fifteen are Engineer
Clarence II. Warrington and Fireman
Victor Clapp, each of whom has re-
ceived high praise for theiF coolheaded-
ness and bravery at a critical moment.
Engineer Warrington, when he saw
that an accident was unavoidable, ap-
piled the air brakes in such a manner
that the train began to stop gradu-
ally. 1t is said that had the brakes
been applied with full force every
coach would have been thrown from
the track
Fireman Clapp remained at his post
long enough to shut off the supply of
oil leading from the tender to the fire
box, and thus prevented an explosion
and fire which would have resulted
in a holocaust
Engineer Warmington's injuries con-
sst OF severe scalds about the face and
hands, broken right shoulder and left
ear almost severed, but the physicians
say there is no doubt he will recover.
Fireman Clapp was painfully cut and
bruised, but his injuries are not seri-
Gus,
With three other exceptions all the
injured at the Sisters hospital are
Italians and DR.. H. G. Gates, who has
these injured in charge, says all will
recover
Clarence e. Warrington, Familiarity
known to thousands of Californians as
Red Hot" has been in the employ
of the Southern Pacific for twenty-five
years, during which time he has oper-
ot nf a anpineG
! He has always had the perfect conf
dence of the railroad officials and haul
ed President McKinley's special train
when he visited this state in his first
administration.
Engine No. 2416 is one OF the four
largest passenger engines in the world,
and Warrington has had her ever since
she was delivered from the Baldwin
locomotive works in Philadelphia a
few weeks ago. This engine was built
for the greatest strength and weighed,
including her tender, 202 tons. The
three seVenty-seven inch drivers hurl
her bulk of 234,00O pounds, with a long
train added at a terrific rate of speed.
For years Red Hot Warrington
has pulled the limited out of Los An
geles to Yuma, AriZ., and he knows
every cactus and joshua bush on the
road.
His wife was granted an interlocutory
decree of divorce last year, after a
most remarkable suit, in which such
prominent men as Samuel Shortridge,
Thomas Harris and others and a costly
diamond garter presented to Mrs.
Warrington by one of the wealthy
men implicated in the case figured.
Mrs. Warrington was denied alimony.
Warrington attended a performance
of the "Manxman" at the Belasco
theater last Monday night and left
on the limited Tuesday noon in the
best of spirits, without a premonition
of the horrible fate which was await
ing him on his return trip from Yuma.

DIES PROTESTING
He IS INNOCENT
LEON SOEDER HANGED AT SAN
QUENTIN
Just Before Drop Falls Condemned
Man Declares He Was Rail-
roaded to the Gallows
by Detectives

By Associated Press.
SAN QUENTIN, March 29.-Leon
Soeder, convicted of the murder of his
brother-in-law, Joseph Blaise, January
II, 1904, was hanged this morning at
1O:4O for the crime.
The hanging was without incident
save for the statement made public by
Soeder just before starting on the
march to the gallows, in which he de-
clared he had been railroaded to the
gallows and that the detectives OF san
Francisco had formed plot against
him
In his statement he incorporated
affidaVits from cellmates at the San
Francisco Jail in which 1t is declared
that John Cooper, the prisoner) who
told the police that Soeder had con-
fessed the crime to him, had been
hired to make that statement by De-
tective Gibson.
To Father Walsh, who attended him
at the last, Soeder protested his ill.,
nocence.
Soul Not Weighed
1T had been planned by Warden
Edgar and the prison physician TO eN-
pertinent on the Weighing of Soeder' )
before the execution and Immediately
after life had fed. But when the last
hour came Soeder was so near collapse
that 1t was deemed inadVisable to
make the test.
He almost fell when he reached the
foot of the stairway leading to the gal
lows and had TO be supported by Hang
man Arbogast. Warden Edgar ordered
that the execution proceed without any
delay, and i'm two minutes Soeder was
dead.
Tne crime of which Soeder was con-
Victed was the killing of his brother
in-law whom he had persuaded TO
come from Germany and whose life he
had insured in his favor for $1,000.
Blaise was found at the base of a
precipice with a knife wound in his
heart, and the charge was made that
Soeder stabbed his relative and threw
him over the brink Of the hill.

COVERED BY SNOW SIX
DAYS, BUT WILL SURVIVE

BY Associated Press.
REDDING, March 29.-J. A. Rich,
who disappeared Saturday morning,
March 23. from Boulders, was found
alive yesterday afternoon in fourteen
feet of snow 5000 feet above the sea
level, between Castella and Boulders.
He became bewildered in severe
storm, his snowshoes broke and he lay
unconscious for six days in the snow.
His feet and hands were badly frozen,
but he will recover. He says he re-
members nothing from the time he left
Boulders.
While he was lying in the mountains
the severest storm in the history of that
part of the country prevailed.
