SHOW COUNC|LMEN
FENDER WORKINGS
PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
Is GIVEN
Low-Huns Guards Are Dangerous to
Passengers on cars-suburban
Lines Need cowcatchers,
Company Says

Six councilmen yesterday took a
ride to Artesia on the Pacific Electric
system to get visual experience con-
cerning the workings of tenders.
Attorney Dunn and several mechan-
les and engineers of the system went
along to explain the workings of the
city and suburban tenders.
In order to comply strictly with the
charter provisions the company
showed the councilmen what would
happen to a fender hung three inches
from the rails. The framework so
placed scraped and Jared so often
that it threatened to buckle under.
At five and half and six inches
height there was no trouble and the
mechanics say none will occur, except
in unusually rainy weather when soft
earth is thrown up high by passing
heavy wagons.
The run to Artesia was at times
made at a seventy -mile-an- hour
clip. 1t was demonstrated that no
light fender would be of service on
suburban cars. What is needed is
a strong cowcatcher which will throw
aside and crush any obstacle that
comes in the way. If this were not
powerful the lives of all passengers
on the train would be endangered.
A light fender on these cars would
buckle up and throw the car off the
track in case of contact with anything
from a rock to a COW.
The committee of the whole will on
Saturday consider amendments to the
fender ordinance.

Ell Sol and the local weather man
have at last made connections, and
Los Angeles. weather is reaching the
summer stage. Eighty degrees on the
official thermometer yesterday noon,
and the sun still shining was the well
come prospect that greeted local lovers
of the sun bath road to health.
According to Mr.. Wollaber, today's
weather will not be such as to require
extra garments. In fact, both local
and state seers declare that it will be
hotter today than it was yesterday.
At all events, there will be no need for
Angel city dwellers to bring forth from

in the country of the great silence, the
great white north"
Deaconess Carter described a trip of
700 miles in a scow and of the inland
camp of Fairbanks, where a hospital
was opened:
1--WE found that we had little food
and no money, for we were already in
debt. The food had to be carried hun
dreds of miles. You will not be sur
prised that we used over $4,000 worth of
food beside the supply that was thought
would be sufficient when sugar was so

and three little cans Of evaporated
cream 81. Kerosene was 50 gallon,
and gallon doesn't go very far in a
hospital in the long nights of the win

our little hospital during the winter.
"But If you could have stood at the
hospital doors and seen the frozen or
burned, the injured and the sick men
that came to us you would not ask IL it
pays to spend thousands of dollars a
year to carry on the little hospital. If
you could have stood there with me, I
say, you would not ask whether sit

the big theater will probably have to
be engaged.

A CHANGE FOR KEYTESvILLE
To Secure a $4,000 Factory--A
Pump Mandatory Wants to
Locate I'm Missouri.

EuuP N0uu10CtOry wants 10
Locate In Missouri.
The Myers Pump & Mfg. Co.,
temporarily located at Kansas
City, Mo-, has written to this
paper seeking information in re.
gard to the facilities our city has,
and the inducements we are
willing to offer to secure it's
factory, the product of which
would be largely in demand in
this section of the country.
This company will have, to
start on, paid.up capital stock
of $50, 900, and proposes to man
ufacture, among other things in
the water supply and fire pro.
lection line, an automatic pump.
ing machine, which is a great
innovation in this class of ina.
chinery. The machine which
it claims it has on exhibition at
it's Kansas City Office may be
wound up and then it will auto.
matically furnish fresh water
whenever float in trough or
tank indicates that it is needed.
1t is so designed that it can,
through back gearing, be easily
wound up in Is minutes. andit will
then ordinarily, depending on
conditions, run continuously for
= ours, hat inasmuch as the
average farmer, as a rule, only
requires about one.hour's con.
slant pumping to supply his
, needs for day, one winding
will, therefore, in most icases,
, answer for IL days, and the
machine is not affected by wind
or the lack Of wind or weather
conditions Of any kind. The
machine is 80 constructed that it
may be attached to any pump,
just as it is in any well; the only
change being necessary is the
piping to the trough or tank,
connected to which is the float
and automatic regulation device.
A cut sent to US from the COM
pany shows the machine in
operation.
In order to introduce the in.
vention as quickly as possible
the company says it has adopted
the plan of appointing local
agents in each county in the
state, giving exclusive rights to
those who will devote their en-.
tire time to the sale of the ma
chimes. In this way it hopes to
realize quicker returns for the
stock holders as we'll as to give
profitable employment to ener.
getic men throughout the state.
So confident is the company of
success that it proposes to place
the machine out on 80. days
free trial to reliable parties be-
fore any payment is made. No
bonus whatever is asked from
US to locate the factory here,
out it will give our citizens an
opportunsty to subscribe for
some of the company's stock, if,
after a thorough investigation,
they are satisfied it will be a
paying investment.
Those feeling interested in
this proposition should take the
matter up with the company at

HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Walter Price of Denver Meets
Death Between Baggage
and Mail Cars at
Brunswick.
HE WAS BEATING HIS WAY.

as an apprentice in q boiler
factory at Denver, Colo, and
who, in company with six other
Denver young men, was beat.
ing his way to st. Louis, was
crushed to death between the
baggage and mail cars of east.
bound Wabash passenger train
No. 4 at the coal chute in
Brunswick Sunday night.
DR.. Isaiah Knott, coroner, was
apprised of the fatal accident
and went to Brunswick Monday
morning and held an inquest
and post. mortem examin alton
on Prices dead body, at which
lit was learned from the
testimony that Price and six
companions, Ed McAndrews,
Melvin Taylor, VIM. Peterson,
JAS. G.. McKeown, Ray Poison
and A. w. Chaffee, all of Dem
YER, were on their way to st.
Louis and were avoiding the
payment of even as much as a
2-cent fare by riding the 'blind
baggage" They had all gotten
off the train when it pulled in at
the depot in Brunswick, but got
aboard again when the train
started. A halt was made at
the coal chute in the east end of
the Wabash yards in order to
coal the engine. Conductor
Wiggins, who was in charge of
the train, had struck some of
these seven opposers of the pay.
mont of railroad fare at a point
between Csrrollton and Kansas
City and drove them from their
perches, but they climbed on
again when the train pulled out.
Price was endeavoring to make
his escape from the reach of the
same irate conductor at Bruns-
wick, when the engine gave a
lurch or two at the coal chute
and Price was caught between
the baggage and mail cars and
instantly killed. DR.. M. B.
Austin. the local Wabash
eurgeon at Brunswick, who as
sisted in the post. mortem ex-
amin alton, testifying that the
victims skull was crushed like
an egg shell, and that there
were no other marks of violence
except slight abrasions.
The engineer and fireman
were notified that some one had
been hurt or killed and they
went back and found a man
dead. They assisted in placing
his remains in the baggage car
and then backed up the train
to the depot. Prices body was
taken into the baggage-room,
but the inquest and post-mortem
were held Monday morning at
Heisel's undertaking establish
ment.
The coroner's jury. composed
of ]. w. Simpson, foreman; j.
R. Harrison, A. G.. Kennedy,
John A. Mortimeyer, w. J. Dye
and G.. H. Sublett, returned the
following verdict:
THE VERDICT.
"We, the jury, find that de.
ceased came TO his death by be.
ling crushed to death between
the bage age car and mail car of
Wabash train No. 4 while beat
ing his way to st. Louis, Mo.
We attach no blame to any of
the train crew."
Price and the six young men
who were with him were all we'll.
dressed and made a good ap.
pearance, in no way resembling
genuine hobos and the profess
sional bumper.riders of trains.
