KNOCKED FROM TRAIN
BY BRUTAL BRAKEMAN

YAKIMA, May 21.-A story of bru-
tality not often duplicated is reportej
from Green River hot springs.
A young man named Burgess lies in
DR.. Kloeber's hospital there with his
right leg cut off at the knee and the
left foot partly gone.
His body is covered with bruises.
Burgess has been employed for sew
eral weeks past at the Milwaukee camp
this side of the summit. He went
down to Easton on business one day
last week and when he started back,
boarded a train Of fiat cars '1hich was
going his way. He said he was not in
the habit of stealing a ride on trains,
but that it had grown to be sort of
custom among the Milwaukee employees
going up and down the Northern Paci-
fic tracks to climb onto the passing
freights and no attention was paid to
them.
Burgess got on this train and seated
himself on the edge of fiat car, let
ting his feet hang over the side. He
says he had been riding for Is or 20
minutes when a trainman came along
going down grade at a high rate of
speed at the time. He told the man
he would get off, but suggested that the
train was moving too swiftly just then,
and it would be dangerous to jump.
The man rushed at him and either
kicked or showed him off without Civ
ing him warning or a chance TO protect
himself.
He fell into the ditch, rolled for a
short distance, and finally got both feet
under the wheels.
When the train passed he crawled
up on higher ground by the side of
the track and laid there, most of the
time unconscious. until light engine
came after him and took him down to
the Hot Springs to be cared for by DR..
KIoeber, who is the company surgeon.
Burgess is a young man about 80
years old and a native of New York.
He has been in Washington about six
weeks.
He has employed Vestal Snyder. OF
| this city, to bring an action against the
Northern Pacific for damages for his
| injuries. Mr.. Snyder states that he
will sue for $4,000.

CHAIRMAN KNAPP AND COMMITS
StCNER NELL MEET PARTIES
TO RAILROAD DISPUTE.
BOTH SIDES FIRM IN STAND TAKEN
DECLARE THEY CAN MAKE NO
FURTHER CONCESSIONS IN
INTEREST OF PEACE.

Chicago, April l-Nothing tangi-
BILE resulted from the first meeting of
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Neil with the parties to the railroad
dispute. Further meetings will be
held, but 1t is not believed that any
agreement or settlement viii be had
for several days. Messrs Knapp and
Neill were first In conference with
the members of the board of general
managers. who outlined their case and
explained the situation as It appeared
from their viewpoint They were With
the managers less than an hour and
the representatives Of the trainmen
and of the conductors were then
called in.
The meeting did not begin under
highly favorable auspices. The rep
resentatives of the men, Grand Chief
Morrissey of the trainmen and CHIEF
Conductor Garretson of the conduc-
tors. were positive in their assertions
before the meeting commenced thai
the men would not abate anything OF
their demands. They declared that II
was not In their power to accept less
than the men had asked, for the rea
son that the membership Of both or
ganizations had voted on the proposi
tions to be considered In the meeting
and the vote was overwhelmingly II
favor of a strike unless the demands
of the men were granted.
C. P. Brown, chairman OF the boarc
of managers of the railroads, was
equally explicit in his assertions thai
the railroads could not so further thar
they have already gone and that I
was not possible for them to maze
greater concessions than had already
been offered.

CANNOT DESTROY PROSPERITY
Secretary Wilson'S Opinion of Wall
Street FiUrries.

Washington, April 1.-The pros
perity of the United States cannot be
destroyed by Wall street flurries in
the judgment of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
1t has been asserted by ffnancfers
who have come to Washington and
consulted with the president that only
good crops during the coming season
would save the country from serious
business and financial depression.
There will be such crops. according to
Mr. Wilson.
mo longer can there be anything
like universal crop failure" said the
secretary There Is no reason to an
ticipate anything unusual one way or
the other this year. Our people now
understand more about the growing
of crops. how to prepare the soil, how
to SOW seed and how to cultivate
plants and harvest grain.
THE flurries that ARE occurring In
Wall street are not affecting the farm
population at all. Many of the farm.
ers do no4 know anything about them
and If they do they think there is SIM
ply manipulation of stocks with
which they are not concerned. You
cannot get the farmer to touch any
thing of that kind now because he
does not know what the consequences
may be. A sad reflection On our rail-
road stocks at this time as the fact
that Northwestern far mers. who have
made and still are making money,
know so little about railroad securl
ties and have SO little confidence In
them that they won't touch them. In
stead they are sending hundreds oi
millions Of dollars across the border
into Canada to buy land. which they
know won't run away
The secretary deprecated the failure
OF railroads to furnish transportation
| for crops, pointing out that many bins
were full of grain 30 result of lack
| OF transportation. In consequence
money that would have been paid fol
| these crops is not In circulation.

GRAIN RATES ADVANCED.
Roads File Notice With Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Washington, April LIN accord
ance with their intention expressed
some time ago the railroads constitut-
ing the Western trunk lines, the Cen
trail Traffic association and the East
ern trunk lines have filed with the
interstate commerce commission tar
ifs increasing their rates on eastbound
grain and grain products to become
effective at once. This action of the
carriers was taken, 1t is understood
because of the enactment by legisla-
lures of some of the Western states OF
laws regarded as inimical to their In
terests. The particular law to which
the railroads took exception was the
2-cent fare act of the legislature OF
Nebraska. Soon after the passage OF
that act officials of the railroads In
terested held a meeting In Chicago at
which 1t was decided not only that
they should test the constitutionaiity
of the measure but that 1t would be
necessary for them to increase their
freight rates on eastbound grain.

BONES HALF GONE,
LIVES 10 MONTHS
Right Half of Mans Skele-
ton Removed in Oper-
alton.

DETROIT Mich, July H.-George ].
Schwartz. aged thirty-one. died after
living ten months without any bones on
the right side Of his body and lying fiat
on his back during the entire time, his
fight against death for nearly a year
providing a new wonder for the world
OF medicine.
Mr.. Schwartz was afflicted with a
tumor three years ago. He underwent
an operation This was unsuccessful
and three other operations followed
within the two years following. Last
summer his condition became so serious
that his physicians decided another
operation was all that could prolOng his
life.
A Ike attempt had never been per
formed. Physicians found that all the
bones on the right side Of the trunk
were diseased and must be removed
to insure q continuance OF life. The
operation was held October 5 last AT
the Detroit sanitarium. and was wit
messed by physicians from all over
Michigan, medical students, and mem
bers OF the medical profession from
adjoining States. All the ribs on the
right side, the collar bone. the breast
bone, part Of the hip and shoulder blade
were removed and the patient was left
without any frame for his right side.
Mr.. Schwartz recovered, but was
never able 10 lie in any other position
than on his back. His fortitude was
declared marvellous by all physicians
under whose notice the patient came.
No one who Witnessed the operation
thought he would survive. For some
time past mis- death was momentarily
expected. but he constantly rallied until
the battle against the final end had
exhausted all strength.
Mr.. Schwartz was one OF the nrst
members OF the a. o. U. W. and lie
died the stme day that the order le-
gally died in court. He was also n
prominent member Of several other Sc
cret organizations and Of the Light
Guard.
