ENGINE BLOWS

PECULIAR ACCIDENT ON ROCK
ISLAND ROAD PROVES
FATAL.
ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE
ENGINE WAS CLIMBING GRADE,
WHEN TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
FOLLOWED.

Ramah, Colo.-With a roar that
could be heard for miles, the engine
pulling Rock Island passenger train
No. exploded five miles west OF
Ramah at O'Clock Tuesday morning
Engineer Hartman was killed outright
and Fireman Crmberg so badly in
lured that he cannot recover. The
cause of the explosion is not known
The powerful locomotive was lifted
from the track as if piece of paper in
a gale and hurled off the right of way
entirely. Particles of the engine were
picked up hundreds of feet from the
scene of the accident 1t was COM
pletely demolished
Engineer Hartman was blown sew
enty feet by the force of the steam.
When picked up it was found that his
neck had been broken. The flesh on
his body was also badly cooked Fire
man Chimberg was found nearly fifty
feet from the track in an opposite d.
rection. He is horribly scalded and it
S believed he sustained several broken
bones as well as internal injuries from
the force of the fall.
The train was west bound and ac-
cording to the other members of the
crew, was barely moving Whether
the slowness was due to any difficulty
in the operating of the locomotive or
on account of the grade, which is quite
steep, has not been determined.
When the explosion occurred the
train was thrown back several yards
and the passengers hurled from their
seats. None was injured. however.
A physician on the train, aided by
DR.. Sullivan of Ramah, administered
what temporary aid they could to Fire
man Crimberg and he was placed on
special train and rushed to Colorado
Springs. One brakeman on the train
is said to have been slightly injured
Engineer Hartman was forty years
of age. His home was at Colorado
Springs, where wife and several chill
dfen reside. His body was taken
there. Crimberg is also said to have
a family at Colorado Springs.

good enough-in his own opinion-for
any woman. Every train brought to
the capital some suitor with CON
sonated, hyphenated name and a pedi-
gree as long as a bore's idea of
funny story. But tho princess did not
care for pedigrees that were squint-
eyed or bow-legged. One and all of
them she cast aside as unworthy her
consideration. Then, like the ancient
worm, the duke turned. She should
marry Doppelkinn. who, having no
wife to do the honors in his castle
was wholly agreeable
The Prince of Doppelkinn reigned
over the neighboring principality. If
you stood in the middle of it and were
baseball player. you could throw 8
stone across the frontier in any direc
ton. But the vineyards were among
the finest in Europe. The prince was
widower, and among his own people
was affectionately styled der Rot

to find him.s And besides, he might
just as well sleep in his cellars as in
his carriage, for he never rode a horse
If he could get out of doing so. He
was really good-natured and easy-go-
/ ing, so long as no one crossed him Sc
verely; and tou could tell him a joke
once and depend upon his understand
ing it Immediately. which is more than
l can say for the duke.
Years and years ago the prince had
had son; but at the tender age of
three the boy had run away from the
castle confines, and no one ever heard
of him again. The enemies of the
| prince whispered among themselves
that the boy had run away to escape
compulsory military service. but the
boys age precluded this accusation.

New Packing House a Certainty.

Denver.-G. F. Sulzberger, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing
Company, will come to Denver soon
with view to closing up the deal, be
gun in the summer, for a site on
which to erect a modern packing plant
to compete with the beef trust
A telegram to this effect was re,
ceived by w. T. Anthony, local man
ager for the company, and sets at rest
the rumors, said to have been started
by representatives of the trust and
other enemies of the independent con,
cern, that the announcement made
some time ago by the Schwarzschild
& Sulzberger company about starting
plant here was done merely for ad.
vertising purposes, and that it would
never materialiZe.
1t is these rumors that have caused
Mr.. Sulzberger to come to Denver. He
was not prepared to take the matter
up just yet, but. as shown in his tele-
gram to Mr.. Anthony, he is anxious to
refute the statements that have been
circulated by the enemies of his firm,
and will now hurry things through to
completion, to demonstrate the sim
certify of his company.
Mr.. Anthony said that the delay in
carrying out the plans was caused by
labor troubles, partly among the com.
pany's own workmen at Kansas City,
bu more especially by the strike of the
telegraph operators

lnsures Life Instead of Souls.

Pittsburg. that there Is
more money in insuring lives than in
saving souls-ministers of Pittsbure
are forsaking the pulpit to engage in
the life insurance business. Within a
short period more than a score of min
listers of Pttsburg have gone into life
insurance and all of them are making
more money, they say, than had they
remained with the churches.
The latest Pittsburg preacher to lay
aside the cloth is the Rev. j. c. Car

do not quit from choice, but from ne.
cessity 1t is not altogether a ques
tion of money, but of the high cost OF
living. No charge has been offered me
with salary which would justify my
accepting. If ever the opportunity of
fers, l shall re-enter the ministry
but at present there is not living in
it. The shortage of ministers today is
occasoned solely by the insufficient
pay. Although | am entering the in
surance business, still | hope to con
tinue to preach occasionally"
Among other Pittsburg ministers
who have recently resigned their po
stions to enter the life insurance bust
ness are the Rev. J. T. Gibson, former
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Sharpsburg, and the Rev. r
H. Hood, pastor of the Mount Wash

are doing well as insurance agents.

Uncle Sam Must Answer Labor.

Washington.-Signs have rapid.
multiplied during the last two or three
days that the next few months will
witness a bitter controversy between
the labor organizations on one side
and the federal administration and
Congress on the other.
That there is to be fight to fin.
ish between the National Association
Of Manufacturers and the American
Federation of Labor has been shown
by the suit brought by the manufac.
turers against the unions to test the
right to boycott, and by the reply OF
the manufacturers TO the charge of the
federation that 100000 fund was
raised for the purpose of crushing out
labor.
Mr.. Gompers today on his return
from New York raised the direct IT,
sue between his organization and the
secretary of commerce and labor re-.
garding the exclusion Of the Japanese,
which is likely to lead to protracte1
debate between the unions and the
administration.

Harry was sent down to the commits
shry at the power company's plant to
get a loaf of bread. Shortly after he
left, the horse which he was riding
came running back to camp.
tAbout $50 of the workmen started to
sfarch for him, but thus far in vain.
The only clew found was several
jDlotches of blood on the rocks at the
rivers edge 1t is supposed that the
horse threw the child, who fell into the
river after striking the rocks where
the blood stains were found.
Mrs. Currier has been pursued by
grief since coming to her present loca-

left Montrose with her children to get
away from drunken husband A few
weeks ago her husband came over from
Montrose and began making threats
against her, at one time saying that he
would kill her and the family. He ap-
peared at their camp in the canon one
evening a few days after and was shot
and killed by the son Frank, who was
eXonerated from the charge by the cor
