Record Of Railway Accidents.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission bulletin on acci
dents on railroads OF the United States
during the year ended last June shows
total casualties OF S1.2S6. or 5000 per,
sons killed and 76.2S6 injured. This
shows an increase of 1882 casualties
or 7I5 In the killed and 9,777 in the
injured as compared with the previous
year.
The bulletin says:
There have been heavy increases In
all Of the items, except accidents In car
coupling and from striking against
over head distractions. The number
OF passengers killed and injured in col.
lisions and derailments has increased
to an alarming degree. In this item
the very large total reported in 1905 is
now exceeded by seventeen por cent.
The comparative smallness of the in.
crease In casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars and In accidents to
men on the tops OF freight cars is un.
doubtedly due In large measures to i'm
provcments In the maintenance and
care OF automatic couplers and to the
increased use OF airbrakes on freight
trains. The disastrous record Of cas-
ualties to passengers In train accidents

VETERINARY SURGEON At MONT
ROSE NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH BY EXPLOSION.
BUGGY IS BLOWN Up
SUPPOSED TO BE ACT OF SOME
ENEMY MADE BY HIS WORK
AS HUMANE OFFICER.


Montrose Sunday night says:
What appears to have been das-
tardly attempt to dynamite James A
Beatty. local humane agent and vetsr'
mary surgeon, was made last night at
10:45 O'Clock.
After Mr.. Beatty had retired n ter
rife explosion was heard In the alley
just back of his house, behind the
barn. and upon going out where tho
explosion occurred he found that his
buggy was blown to atoms and pair
OF overalls which he had left In the
buggy were on fire.
The explosion was so great that II
shook all the buildings in that part OF
the city.
A large crowd of people were ON
the scene in a few minutes, but no
trace OF the dynamitard could be
found. The buggy was complete
wreck and 1t Is supposed that the ex-
plosive was placed on or under the
seat.
Mr.. Beatty had a telephone call to
go out to the country but a few min
utes before the explosion, and II is
believed that the intention was TO
have the explosive discharged after
Mr. Beatty had entered the buggy.
Sheriff Taylor and all the police Of
flcers are working upon the case and
have succeeded in finding portions OF
the box in whicn the explosive was
placed.
The attempt to dynamite Mr.. Beatty
is supposed to have been made by
some one who has been compelled by
him to cease cruelty to animals In this
section. MIR. Beatty has been the hui
name officer for this county for many
,.,l hng xtt,y.,rn,,Slv anfNrrad tho
humane laws, especially those per
tanning to children, and has been
threatened a number OF times before.
/ but paid no attention to the threats.
as he thought they amounted to moth
ing.
The buggy that was blown up con-
tained-all the veterinary tools, instru-
ments and medicines which he used
In his veterinary work. The box OF
the buggy was blown entirely OH aud
landed nearly 100 feet away. The top
of the buggy was carried half that dis
tance and heavy iron rods OF the
buggy were snapped In two. There
is no question that dynamite was
used, us the powder marks are OF
! grayish color MIR. Beatty's horses
were In the barn and escaped unfn-
\ jured The sheriff's Office is doing
everything in It's power to locate or
get n clue in regard to the party or
parties who fired The dynamite, ana
within the next twenty-four hours
some startling developments are prom
ised.
Mr.. Beatty is about fifty years OF
age and has a wife and three children
As the local representative OF the
State Humane society he Is consid-
cred one of Its most fearless repro
sentatives and more than one person
during his years of service have been
hailed into court and compelled to pay
q fine.
In his practice as a veterinary sur
geon he is considered one Of the most
successful in the state. DR.. Lamb.
state veterinarian, has made num-
ber OF trips to Montrose to consult
with Mr.. Beatty. as also have other
prominent veterinary surgeons Of the
state.
Had the explosion been delayed a
few minutes there is little doubt that
Mr.. Beatty would have been victim
for he was Just starting to his barn

SOME INTERESTING HISTORY.
Pioneer Tells OF First Strike in the
Famous Comstock DAYS.

A well known miner employed In the
Consolidated Virginia for thirty years,
while In a reminiscent mood. related yes
terday. story of the ore strike in that
mine in October. 1856, which produced
thirty millions in bullion and paid month
II dividends for two years.
He said the strike was made in a
northwest drif, started from a west drift
connecting with the G. &c c. and ConsolI-
dated Virginia shafts on the 1900 level.
The northwest drift was started at a
west OF the c. g. shaft. After ad-
vancing the northwest drift scmc dis
tance round of holes was fired and the
late w. II. Patton. who was superin-
tendent At that time, told the men to
run the rock ont for waste as il was
worthless, but instructed the station len
der to put ore tags In the cars. THIS
was done to mislead the men working I'm
the DRIFT, but did not have this result.
as they knew the nature OF the rock
and two OF them placed orders for the
stock as soon as their SHIFT was up.
Reference TO the Chronicle files show
that Consolidated California and Virginia
share prices were lowering between So
and $3.50 at tho date or the ore strike.
