BOY ENDS WORLD TOUR.
How he Travelled from Place to Place
Until Journey Was Complete.

On a capital of Is cents and an ir-
repressible wanderlust, James Frs
kline, eighteen years old, has just
completed tour one and one-half
times around the globe. He arrived
in New York recently as full of tales
of strange adventure as Marco Po-
10, and with more money and better
clothes than he possessed at the in
ception of his romantic journey.
This is the way the adventurous
youth sums it up.
When he left Galveston five years
ago he was barefoot boy of thir-
teen. He crossed the great State of
Texas on a freight train, but changed
to the top of a passenger coach at
Ell Paso, and journeyed through to
Los Angeles on the Southern Paciic's
fastest train. By working at odd
jobs and boarding the blind baggage,
the bumpers, or the trucks, he made
San Francisco just as the United
States transport Thomas was about
to sail for the Philippines.
Late one night he united a row.
boat hidden under one of the docks,
and rowed himself out to where the
big vessel was moored. He climbed
up the hawser chain into the ship,
and concealed himself within a can
vas covered lifeboat. Here he found
hardtack provided in advance for the
shipwrecked, and he subsisted on it
until discovered a thousand miles
from the shore.
He was permitted to 60 ashore on
the Island of Guam, but failed to get
back on the boat, and was left, one
among a few hundred white people,
in midocean. A government supply
boat picked him up and he worked
for the mess until he got to Manila.
He attached himself to the commits
sary of military company, and tour
ed the islands.
The transport which took him from
San Francisco brought him back, but
he hid himself as a stowaway on the
Sherman, and crossed the Pacific
again to Nagasiki. Despite the Wig
lance of the crew he slipped off the
ship, and bribed a Chinaman to row
him ashore. He saw Kobe and Yok-
ohama, and crossed the Japan Sea to
Shanghai, thence up the Yellow Sea.
The youth tells of meeting with a
Chinaman who owned a sailing poul-
try craft, which he raised ducks,
and sold them in convenient ports:
The Mongolian gave him job, and
landed him in Hongkong where he
caught a packet from Calcutta.
Working at everything from clean
ing potatoes to mending rigging he
journeyed from India to Lisbon, Glb-
raltar, and Alexandria. A party OF
tourists picked him up there, and he
was carried on camel back to Cairo
Ito see the pyramids and graves"
Crossing to Constantinople, he
boarded a sailing vessel for Cape
town, and spent several weeks in
South Africa, washing dishes in a
Kimberly restaurant for 81 week.
| A fishing schooner transported him
to Sydney and Melbourne. AS part
of cargo of wood he made the long
Journey back to San Francisco. His
itinerary from the coast here includ-
ed the cities of Salt Lake, st. Paul,
Kansas City, Galveston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Norfolk and Washington

The engine, however, left the rails
and plowed up several hundred
yards Of track before it stopped.
Both engineer an fireman stuck to
their post and neither were Sc
riously injured.
The Iran was composed of two
coaches, one "a combination bag
gage, passenger and smoker, the
other a day coach. The car turned
completely over and fell telescoped
into the track ditch. The engine
tender was beneath the ears and
had not the engineer broken the
locomotive from the train, it would
undoubtedly have been tangled in
the wreck and "a fire would have
been unavoidable.
There was wild scramble for
safety when the cash came and
several were cut by broken glass
in their efforts TO escape through
the windows. A number of Kenton
boarded a hand ear and
hurried to the wreck. The injured
were carried to farm house near
by and relief trains were summoned
from Lima and Marion. The re-
port Went out that there were 80
killed and the widest excitement
reigned in Kenton and this city.
W. II. Mcdowell, aged 4S OF
this city, was probably the most
seriously injured. He was sitting in
the baggage booth directly at the
rear OF the locomotive tender, when
the first crash came. He was
thrown forward on his face and
then rolled to the extreme end ot
the car. When the second crash
came he was pinned beneath sew
eral hundred pounds of baggage
consisting of trunks and Other
heavy objects. The relief party
dug him from the debris a hall
hour later and it was thought
then that he was fatally injured
He Was brought to his home here
about 3 O'Clock this morning. DR..
SAWYER was called and upon ex
animation it was found that ne
had sustained several broken ano
fractured ribs on the left side.
Internal injuries are feared. 1t /:

cover.

Immediately summoned to the wreck
and in several hours placed the
tracks in condition so that traffic
could be resumed.

REPLACING JAIL BARS
Bars were Removed by Prisoners
in Effort to Escape.

The sheriff has several men at work
in the Jail, today, replacing the iron
bars which were taken from the steps
leading to the upper corridors recent
ly. Four of the bars were removed
by prisoners but only one was recoV-
cred. A thorough search has failed
to reveal the remainder.
Othel Davis and Harry Hill who
are being held on 2 charge of rob-
berry, endeavored to escape several
days ago by using two of the irons,
but their nerve failed them at the last
moment. In the hands of more des-
perate men, the weapons would have
enabled them to effect an escape.

HUNT FOR
MURDERER
Prosecutor and Coroner Go
to Caledonia.
AUTHORITIES PUZZLED
Motive for Scott RichardsOn's g
Murder Unknown.
is Reported He Had Gambled and
Won Big Stakes on Night Of
Murder Rumors Many.

There are rumors of all sorts
concerning the mysterious death of
Scott Richardson which occurred
at Caledonia, Saturday night.
There are few people who doubt
that the man was murdered and
the more thoroughly the coroner
investigates the more he is con-
WINGED that Richardson was II vic
tim Of foul play.
There are Caledonia people who
claim THAT the man was seen in u
poker room early Saturday night
and that he was winning contin-
ually. 1t is thought that he had
Won considerable money and then
started to walk to the home Of his
sister, two miles in the country,
when he was assailed. When found
he had two cents III his pockets
and his watch was missing. The
tlampled weeds and shrubbery at
the end of the bridge, under which
the body was found, indicated that
a struggle had taken place.
Richardson was a We'll built,
muscular man and was known to
be exceptionally brave and danger
ous in fight. From the condition
of the weeds it is thought that the
tusse must have lasted some time q.
This is regarded as evidence that
there was only one asSailant, aS
had there been two, Richardson
could have been overpowered with
cut difficulty.
Prosecuting Attorney John Clark
and Coroner Brady of this city
were in Caledonia this morning
searching for evidence. Up until
noon their efforts had been practi-
cally fruitless but it is said facts
have been learned that may lead to
mere important deyelopmnts.
Caledonia officers and citizens
are ,straining every effort to hunt
down the perpetrator of the crime,
and it is thought probable that
there will he some startling devel-
opments within the next few days.

Engineer Cowen of Huntington was
at the throttle and it Was prob
ably his great presence of mind
that prevented more dangerous
wreck.
The train was running over a
long stretch of straight and level
track when the front trucks of the
engine tender suddenly left the
rails. Instead of immediately shut
ting off steam and applying the
brakes, ii is said that Engineer
Cowen opened the throttle and the
locomotive gave leap, breaking
the tender couplings and bounding
clear Of the passenger coaches,
which piled in heap ON the rails.

SAYS MAY
CUT RATES
Hooking Valley Gets Decis-
ion in Franklin Co.
rs FIGHTING FRACTIONS
Lowers Fares to Get the
Business.
Decision Concerns the c. d. Il M.
and Sustaius Twin Ticket Plan
Railroad News.

Press reports from Columbus state
that the common pleas court of Frank
lin county has ruled that the Hooking
Valley Railway company has the right
to lower its passenger rates in order
to compete with interurban roads.
A test case was brought in regard
to cut rates which the company made
to compete with the Scioto Valley
Traction company. The company is
also cutting its rates between Co
lumbus and Marion to compete with
the G. ID. G. M, so that the decision
Igiven Monday is of interest here.
Following is what the Columbus
Citizen says regarding the ruling;
"That the Hooking Valley Railway
company has not been using undue dis
termination when IL cut its passenger
rate between Lancaster and Column
bus and between Logan and Columbus
to compete with the Scioto Valley
Traction company was the decision of
Judge Bigger in Common Pleas court
Monday. when he set aside the order
of the state railway commission.
The railway commission, upon
complaint of Aaron e. Price, of
Athens, held that the Hooking VAL
ley company had no right to cut the
rate of fare between Logan and Co
lumbus below the rate between Ian
caster and Columbus, a shorter dis
tance by 1S miles This was done
because passengers from Logan would
ride to Lancaster on the steam road
and then to Columbus on the traction
line.
Judge Bigger held that the steam
road was only endeavoring to pre-
serve its passenger trade. The tes-
timony showed that the Hooking
Valley company had been getting only
25 per cent. OF the business since
the electric line started. Citizens
of Athens wanted reduction of rate
in proportion and made complaint to
the railway commission. The case
will be appealed"
Considerable disadvantage is being

The cause Of the fire is attributed TO
