CARRY FOOD TO A
DEAD MAN
FURTHER FUNERAL
FORMALITIES FOR
DEPARTED CHINAMAN
Celestials Replenish Food on the
Grave Of the Departed
Brother

The Chinese are a class of people
who do not by contact with a higher
race cast aside their ancient rites and
pre- ctices. No matter how far they
may be from the land where their re
ligion and beliefs emanate, no matter
how far isolated from fellow members
of their race, they yet hold to those
beliefs, as rule they never cast aside
ther religion.
Their practices of old beliefs was
evidenced here today when the food
left on the grave of the Chinaman
who was buried last Tuesday was re-
plenished with fresh supply. A guard
of honor carried the food to the GEM
etery across the river. They took
chicken and roast pig and wine and
gin, approached the grave with bows
and mutterings, and depositing it
quickly, departed.
This performance will be repeated
seven days, after burial, when it is be-
lieved the soul of the departed will
have reached the land Of the blessed
and will have no need Of further pro-
vision.

GRAVE QUESTION OVER THE
WRECK AT BROWNS

have caused him to send hundreds Of
human beings to apparently certain
deathf
1t is due entirely to the coolness and
courage of Engineer Hampton that
the terrible scheme did not succeed.
There are two sidings at Browns and
string of cars on the nearer siding
shut out the view Of the
switch from the engineer of the pass
enger until it was too late to stop the
train. Instead of deserting his post
when he found his train taking the
siding and realizing the imminent per
il. Engineer Hampton reversed his
engine and applied the emergency
brakes. Cool and courageous he per-
formed his duty, smiling in the face
of danger, martyr to his trust.
without flinching he yielded up his
life that others might not perish.
The escape of Fireman Mcdonald is
little short of miraculous. He had
barely time to start back over the
tender when the collision occurred.
He was thrown forward and his legs
pinioned beneath the debris, but by
desperate efforts he managed to ey-
tricate himself before being scalded
by escaping steam. The fireman was
brown in almost the same position as
the engineer. separated from him only
by some boards and coal.
When the train crew arrived at the
engine steam was escaping in such
volume that it was impossible to make
thorough search for the engineer.
After the mist had cleared, however,
he was extricated from the debris. He
was lying alongside the boiler head
and had been severely scalded after
he ll'sion. 1t is thought that he
was killed instantly.
AS soon as possible after the wreck
Conductor Knowles went through the
ran 10 ascertain whether or not any
of the passengers had suffered serious
injury and was much relieved to find
no injuries reported other than few
bruises and fright. When the physi-
ans arrived everything possible was
done for the passengers until the
track was cleared, when they were
sent on to Ogden.
Fireman Mcdonald is now in this
city receiving the congratulations of
his many friends on hismiracnlous
escape. He is severely scratched and
rui eel about the head and face, but
is able to be around and will soon be
in condition to report for duty.
The remains of Engineer Hampton
were taken to Reno about 10 o'clock
Monday night by special train, and
the funeral will take place in that
city from the Masonic temple this
afternoon under the auspices of his
brother Masons.

From the Sparks Forum.
1t 10 now thought by many that the

Monday morning in which Engineer
Hampton was killed and several pass

That the switch was closed behind the

by the following facts:
II is customary when an engin

There were several workmen EN-.
