WOULD BE POPULAR EVENT.

One of the most interesting
events to watch on n program
of athletic sports is hose cart
race. No matter how good or
classy program may be. il is
apt to become mOnotonous ii
it does not furnish considerable
contrast.
Grand Junction has a number of
speedy runners who are willing to
train for such an event if it were
put on the program for fair week.
Aside from the events at the fair
grounds. very little is doing, that is,
of a morning or after the races in
the evening. The hose races could
take place at a time when there are
a great many people on the street
and nothing to do.
The hose races two years ago were
very successful, and much interest
always oenters around an event of
this kind. Grand junction holds the
records in both the hub and hub and
the wet test.

CUT OFF HIS LEG.
A Preacher Rescues q Fellow Passen-
ger From Railroad Wreckage.

st. Louis, April al. A. Mckittrick,
a stockman of Brookfeld, was pinioned
under the wreck on the Burlington
near here today by his left leg which
was nearly crushed off at the knee.
Scalding steam from the passenger
locomotive was enveloping him and to
save McKittrick's life, Rev. r. C. AL
len of Grove City. Pa, cut off the leg
with a pocket knife. With the scald-
ing steam pouring upon him, McKit-
trick pulled out his knife and handing
trying to extricate the man from the
wreckage, commanded them to cut off
the crushed leg and save him from
being scalded.
Mrs. Emma Renner, a trained nurse
from Cincinnati, passenger, pressed
a bottle of whisky to McKittrick's lips
and told him to drink. The steam in
creased.
"Cut off that leg. 1 can't stay here
and de- shouted McKittrick.
Rev. Allen began cutting at the
tendons with the knife. 1t was dull
and McKittrick suffered intense agony.
Throw it away and get an axe he
finally cried out. But Rev. Allen con-
tinued and finally had severed the
tendons. McKittrick was carried into
car where Mrs. Renner made a
tourniquet of her veil and staunched
the flow of blood and then gave him
opiates. Later he was brought to a
st. Louis hospital.
Rev. Alien, who performed the am
putation is a convenanter minister, 60
years old. Mrs. Renner, who was
bruised in the wreck. was en- route to
her home in Cincinnati from the state

SMALLPOX AT SCHOOL.
Son OF Bank Commissioner Royce the
Victim.

Three new cases of smallpox were
carded today by the city health re-
partment.
At $50 jackson street, R. H. Johnson:
1885 Clay street; C. M. Chitwood 629
Hancock street, were the latest cases
where quarantine measures were es-
tablished. Yesterday afternoon W. G.
Kendall, an employe of the Capital City
brick yards west of the city was ia
ken i'll and his sickness was designated
to be smallpox. Kendall was confined
at BOT Kansas avenue.
With the Is enumerated yesterday
there are now % smallpox patients in
quarantine.
Two rooms at Euclid school house
were fumigated this morning and the
students dismissed and one room at
the Quincy school will be fumigated
this evening.
In both instances it was feared that
the school children had been exposed
and fumigation was resorted to as
precautionary measure "A funny thing
about this is that the men who are
down with the smallpox are all over
20 years OF age; there is not a boy in
the lot,' said j. D. Pattison, sanitary
sergeant.
]. c. Smithmier who walked about
the streets broken out with smallpox
was taken in charge by the sanitary
police and removed to the detention
hospital
One student at the high school, La
Rua Royce, son of John @. Royce, was
reported sick Tuesday with varioloid
which is a light form Of smallpox. This
case was not reported to the city health
authorities or if reported does not ap-
pear on the records at the city phys1-
clans Office. The city health officers
were asked about the case "Wednesday
morning by a reporter but they stared
that no such case had been reported.
Wednesday afternoon the report which
the State journal had was confirmed.
Though this student innocently expos
ed hundreds of students, whether IN
lection occurred will not be known Tor
couple of weeks as it is generally held
process of incubation has advanced far
enough along to be clearly determin-
ed,
1t seems somewhat remarkable that
the school children have escaped I'M
scathed thus far.
Through a mistake on the part OF
one of the sanitary policeman wrong
house was carded in North Topeka.
Victor Stansf1eld, the patient who was
sick with smallpox, rooms at the cor
ner of jackson and Gordon streets with
a family by the name of Ogee, while
a family by the same name lives at
913 North jackson. The card was
placed on the last named house but
the mistake was corrected.
The city health authorities seem to
have the situation well in hand, how
ever, and the necessary authority was
extended by the mayor for the en-
ployment today of extra sanitary po-
iicemen to cope with the situation
successfully.
