which had been working hard in the
heat. and apparel hewildered when

The mule scampered OF and jumped
into a well. Some Of the farm hands

plunge, with head above water and ap-
parenuy standing on its hind LEGS, but
It was many feet below the surface
and the wisest heads could not deviss

Heavy ropes We're secured and a
beam was fixed across tie wells top.
Horses were put to pull out their fell

thing happened which caused the mule
to drop back into semi oblivion.
Finally a rigger came, for nearly all
the neighbors knew Of the accident and
were present with suggestions. The
derrick was unloaded and stationed,
and horses were tried again without
avail.
Every man here get hold Of this
rope" was the command Of Hopkins,

FRElGHTOUTLOOK IMPROVES
Railroad Men More Hopeful Now Than
Few Weeks Ago.

More hope was expressed yesterday
on the part of railroad traffic officials
concerning the tonnage outlook than
for many weeks, but they are stin re-
iuctant about making any extravagant
predictions concerning increased busi-
ness or earnings. Improvement was
reported in general merchandise and
other commodities especially in fruits
and vegetables, and railroad men feel
encouraged now where a few weeks
ago they seemed rather gloomy.
Many lines are putting their equip
ment into shape to move the crops.
and it is pointed out that a good de-
mand for manufactured products Is
looked for as soon as the grain begins
to move in volume.
West-bound merchandise shows
some gain, and this will of course, help
the Western lines, as they have been
getting comparatively little business
from their Eastern connections. Bull
,letins Of the Committee on Car Ef-
lciency Of the American Railway AS
ISOLATION show a marked dozease in
idle cars in the United States and
Canada. Since April is the number
has decreased from 375,770 to about
100000. Only about 20 per cent. Af
this decrease is accounted for by the
Increase in shop cars or cars laid up
for repairs, the balance being a legiti-
mate decrease in idle cars. This i'm
provement in the freight situation Is
said to be general throughout the coun-
try.
