thrown out of the side of the c. +
into the bushes.
The dining car conductor cor
slders that he had a lucky es-
cape. He had just been petting
the dog an instant before the
crash ceme but had stepped a
few feet forward.
The baggage car was thrown
fifty feet from the track. The
track is quite soft at the place,
and the fact that the coaches
struck the soft sand is probably
the reason that no one was killed.
One woman tainted away from
fright but was not badly injured.
One man had his back badly
sprained when two men fell for
ward upon him.
Ferguson, the engineer, is
noted for his lucky wrecks. He
is a cool-headed fellow.
The wreck did some queer
things, all in a few seconds. The
rails were twisted in wonderful
shapes. One was bent just like
the letter S.
The Independent has Just
learned that an employee Of the
500, 81 years old, who was riding
in the day coach, was thrown
from one end of the coach to the
other and his head and shoulders
wedged under one Of the seats.
His head was not injured, but
his side, just below the ribs, was
cut so badly that Minot sur
geon took eight stitches in the
wound. The company offered to
settle with the man for 5000 but
this amount was refused.
The train came to a stop in a
wonderfully short time, not 60
ing more than half the train
length until every car had stop
ped. If the cars had not been
made OF the best kind of mate
rial they would have been mashed
into match wood.

L. A. Fisher received a letter
from the 500 LineaC Co. this week
saying that the construction of
the Carpio extension thru the
Powers Lake country was not de-

something of q disappointment
to the farmers north of here, as
early maps issued by the CON-
pany announced the construction
this year, and that ten towns
would be located. However, it
is believed that the road will be
built sooner or later.

The new 500 limited No. 101,
known as the Spokane Flyer,
Jumped the track about noon
Wednesday justas it had crossed
the bridge over the coulee on the
Peter Ehr farm four miles east OF
the city. The tender left the
track first, carrying with it the
combination baggage and mail car
and the smoker. The other cars
left the track but remained up.
right on the grade, doing little
damage except to tear up the
track badly, No one was badly
injured. The baggageman, Nc.
Phee. was jolted up considerably
and one woman in the coach was
bruised.
It was necessary to build a
track around the wreck while the
wrecking crew was straightenin
things up. A large crowd from
the city drove down to see the
effects of the wreck. Those who
visited the scene cannot see how
such terrible wreck could have
occurred without killing some
one.
For four hundred feet the
track is completely torn up and
the ties ground into match wood.
The front wheels of the engine
remain on the track and the hind
wheels of the last car. All the
other wheels are off and some
badly torn up. Tie tender was
badly wrecked; the tank was
torn completely off and thrown
some distance from the track.
The fireman was on the tender
at the time of the wreck and how
he escaped he does not know:
The frame of the tender is still
attached to the engine.
The baggage car was badly
smashed, and the three men who
were in the car wonder that they
came out alive. One side of the
car was completely torn out and
a dog that was in the car was

audience as large as Mantell attracted
to the theater to see his Brutus in

Ing that he has gained the respect and

ing public. All the seats were filled,
and the crowd overlooked into the foy-
ers.
There probably was as little real in
spiration in his Interpretation Of Bru-
tus as In most Of the other Shake
spearean characters he has assumed.
But his ideal of the Roman statesman
who conspired to murder Caesar was
carefully considered and correct. He
played the part with melodramatic
vigor that showed little regard for the
subtleties Of careful analysis and de-
livered with fervid emotion the long
speeches that are so attractive to
schoolboy orators. There was force If
not psychology at all times in his work.
The production of the tragedy fur
nished by William A. Brady was spec
tacular, solid and substantial, and he
gave free rein to his prediction for
mobs. The Roman populace was on it's
mettle, and the senators, both those
within and without the conspiracy,
were as Woodworking a set Of stage
statesmen as ever deliberated in leg
ielative forum.
It is unfortunate that the company
was not as interesting as the scenery.

covers all the sins of bad elocution, the
