SWITCHMAN'S FOOT
MASHED
HEAVY LOAD OF LUMBER SLIPS
CATCHES UNFORTUNATE MAN
James Callahan Suffers Very Painful
Injury While Switching at the
Depot Last Evening

An accident, displaying rare nerve,
and one attended with most painful
circumstances, occurred at the South
ern Pacific depot in Winnemucca last
evening, when James Callahan, a
switchman, while engage | in switch
ing train Of cars, had his feet caught
and mashed between a heavy load of
lumber and the end of an iron freight
car. For two hours after the jam
came half hundred railroad boys and
townspeople gathered at the scene of
the accident and endcavored to release
Callahan from his sad predlcament.
After two hours of saving and unpil-
ing lumber, dEring which he suffered
untold agony, Callahan g foot was re-
leased, and as the injured member, 70
mashed that it could hardly be recog-
nized as human foot, was pulled out,
the wounded man tainted dead away
and was carried to receive medical at
tendance by throng of sympathizers.
About $50 last evening Callahan
mounted a freight car to set the
brakes AS he climbed up on one of
the cars, heavy steel car with full
capacity of Oregon pine timbers, re
threw one leg inside the car between
the end of the car and the ends of
the timbers. just at this time the
train bumped into freight car stand
ing on the track, and the whole load
of timbers slid forward, pirning his
foot against the end Of the car. His
cries for help were heard all over up
per town, and large throng assem-
bled. Axes and saws and crowbars
were brought, but the excruciating
pain which followed every move to
release the man made the rescue work
slow, and it was not until over two
hours had elapsed that he was taken
out.
DR.. Samuels Immediately attended
Callahan, and gave him temporary re-
lief. Two bones were pronounced
smashed, and the injured man went to
the railroad hospital at Ogden.
The nerve of railroad men has often
been commented upon by many writ
ers, and the nerve displayed By Gala
han last evening, who murmured OF
while suffering the tortures of the
damned, should earn him a gold medal
as far as stoicism goes.

SHELTERS CANNOT HANDLE
ALL OF EVADA'S ORES

DENVER, Nov. 24.-Inability of
the American Smelling & Refining
company to handle all the ores offered
has forced the company to take dras-
tie action to shut off sopDe heavy
shipments of ores from NeV63a and
Canada.
Twelve thousand tons of ore, worth
over $4,000000, is now on the way to
Denve, Salt Lake and Omaha from Ne
vada alone.
The company announces that this
action will not apply to the mines of
Colorado, as it will be able to take
care of that business through the
usual channels. In an effort to force
operators to curtail shipments it has
increased the cost of treating Nevada
ores 10 per cent, which makes the Sec
ond increase within few days, and
has deferred payments for the same
from 45 to 60 days.

1t is time to stop talking about free
silver. Bryan has thrown it down. In
New York recently, he said:
''The coinage of silver has no bear
ing upon the monetary conditions
which exist today. The restoration of
bimetallism would have given more
money than we have at present but
the unprecedented discovery of gold
has given us such an increase in the
volume of money that prices have
risen.
''The present stringency is not due
to the scarcity, but to the scare that
has spread among depositors.

IMPORTANT WITNESS MISSING IN NEGRO MURDER CASE

his natural breathing oriiices had been
clogged with blood so that breathing

and he breathed by means of the
opening into one of his lungs made by
the bullet. During his sane moments
he did not believe he was going to die.

ner concerning the shooting do not

A large amount of money has been
raised by Western Pacific employees all
along the line in Nevada to defend
Davis, and the case promises to be
fought out to the bitter end by both
sides.
Davis Southerner.
Davis is southerner, native of
Texas, and has natural aversion for
damental cause of the shooting. To
his mind, the shooting of negro is
not serious matter, which accounts
for his nonchalant air with reference
to the crime.

MINERS REFUSE PAY CHECKS.

Several miners, among the number
w. We'll and Bill Davis. came in from
the Last Chance mine in the vicinity
of Humboldt. which they report is
closed down on account of the financial
situation at the present time. It ap-
pears that the usual system of pay
checks were used in the payment of
help at this property and when the
employees learned that cash could not
be secured for the same they imme-
diately refused to continue in the ser
vices of the company. This is only
one of the many occurrences of the
same character being brought to our
notice, and we heartily sympathize with
all involved in these matters.

The coroner's jury returned their
verdict at IL o'clock this morning.
The testimony brought out at the
inquest was of somewhat contradic-
tory nature. j. J. Lewis testified that
Colwell had threatened Davis and had
remarked to him that if he did not
keep out of the kitchen he would brain
him with cleaver, and that Mrs.
higgins interfered and stopped the
quarrel, pulling Colwel away and
shutting the door in the face of Da-
Wis. Mrs. Biggns did not remember
having interfered. nor did she hear
any threats uttered.

A very important witness in the
case is missing, F. Gillispie, the only

believe he has left the city. 7. H.

There are muddied hordes that are

For the gold which they hope may

And the wandering birds are bereft

ginal first Assumption church was
built during his pastorate in 1877 on
a corner lot donated by the railroad
company for church purposes. This
church was later enlarged and a
building attached to the rear served as
a parish house. Subse quently the par
ish acquired five adjoining lots on
which stand the present new church
and residence.
The first church was built under ad-
verse circumstances. The early set
tiers were few and mostly poor and
great credit is due them for what
they accomplished in those early days.

respected citizen of Morris, deserves

fell as heavy blow upon the congre-
cation. The people, however, did not
lose courage and accepted their mis-
fortune in true. christian spirit.
A meeting was held and it was de-
cided to build a new and larger church
on the site Of the original first church.
Clarence Johnson of ST. Paul, was re-
tanned as architect and bids were call
ed for the basement. The bids being
too high, were all rejected and it was
decided to lay up the walls to grade,
by day work, which was accordingly
done.
On February 16, 1906, bids were
submitted by seven contractors for
the superstructure of the church. Ac-
cording to plans and specifications
prepared by Clarence Johnson, the
architect, the bid of Carl Kropp &
Co., was the lowest and the contract
was accordingly awarded to him.
On May Goth, 1906. Rt. Rev. James
Trobec, bishop of st. Cloud, assisted
by twelve priests, and in the pres
ence of four thousand people, solemn
ly laid the corner stone of the new
church; Rev. ]. NJ Cleary of Minnea-
polls, preaching an eloquent and
scholarly sermon on the occasion.
On September 29th, 1906, the church
being almost completed, the bishop
Of st. Cloud, blessed the bell, donated
by William Wunsch. The late Rev
Geo. F. Arenth, rector of the cathe-
dral of st. Cloud, preached an able
and instructive sermon on the mean
ing of the ceremony.
On Thanksgiving day, November 90
1906, grand civic opening of the
| church was held. In the morning there
were solemn thanksgiving services
and in the evening a musical pro-
gram arranged by Miss Mabel Cair'
ney was given and Rev. J. M. ClearJ
| delivered a most instructive and en-
tertaining lecture on cart and Reli
| gion-the Church and Architecture.
The new church cost approximate
$40, 900 as it now stands. It has {
seating capacity of seven hundre'
fifty in the main auditorium, besides
"a large choir gallery There is ais
a full basement under the church
which will be used as hall TO

Father Walsh also built a house in
Morris, which served also as chapel.

Rev. A. V. Pellison succeeded Rev.
Wensieski in August, 1879 and he was
succeeded by Rev. F. Ell. Watry in
November, 1880. Rev. Watry built the
old parish house at a cost of $3, 900
in 1882 and also established a school
doing excellent work in building up
the parish. In August, 1885, he was
succeeded by Rev. William Lange, who
was instrumental in planting the
beautiful trees that adorn the church
property now. He was succeeded by
Rev. Frank Reilly in June, 1886, and
Rev. Watry was again pastor in Au-
gust of the same year. In October,
1886, the late Rev. Geo. Gaske1l took
charge Of the parish. Father Gaskell
was pastor for fourteen years and
died in November, 1900, beloved by
all who knew him. He was eminently
successful and governed the parish
firmly but wisely and well and to this
day, his name is held in benediction
by the people of Morris. In 1892 a
fine large brick veneered church was
built under his direction at cost of
$4,000, and tho it was built during
the depression of the hard times in
the panic years, when Father Cas-
kell died, there was but 81 900 debt
on the church property. This church
was solemnly dedicated by the late
Archbishop Zardette, then bishop of
st. Cloud, August 6, 1898.
After the death of Father Gaskell
in November, 1900, Rev. G.. J. Goebel
was appointed pastor and he was sue.

History of the Church.

The history of the Assumption
church at Morris, Minnesota, is large
ly the history CT development of
this section of the state of Minnesota.
The first time mass was celebrated
in Morris, was in the year 1870. Div
inc services were held in a railroad
section house by Fathers Hurley and
McDermott, who occasionally visited
Morris as an outlaying mission, from
st. Paul. The few scattered Catholic
families of Morris and surrounding
country were thus ministered to un-
til 1875 when certain Father Walsh
came to reside in Morris as the first
resident priest. His parish embraced
