Evil Portend DIS,

1t makes no difference what the ma
terialists may argue TO prove the non
existence of ghosts, engineers sim cling to
the belief that II portends danger to see
one on the track ahead of their trains.
A will-o'-the-wisp is similarly an unlucky
portent, and in the times Of slower trains. a
cat crossing the track ahead OF the engine
was a sure sign OF disaster. With the ad-
vent Of the mile-a-minute trains il still
means disaster-but to the cat alone. How
ever, few engineers, when the train is
standing still, like to see a black cat cross
the track in front Of the train. It's a
prejudice, maybe. but it makes them re-
miniscently uncomfortable.

quently jumps TO the engine and plays
along the piston rod in fantastic whirIs
and almost sublimal designs. II is a super
stition among many engineers that this
freak OF lightning carries a neurological
message from the somber angel. and they
often see in the odd shapes the flashes take
the year of their death. The story is told
Of an old engineer on the Pennsylvania
who saw his warning number soon after he
had his first engine. Years afterward,
when the stated time arrived, he quit his
job, put his worldly affairs in order. and
waited stoically for the which.
Indeed, came as he had anticipated.
II is considered unlucky among engl-
neers to take an engine out for its first
run on Friday. or on that fateful day to
put the finishing touches TO It in the shop.
There is a traditions passed down among
the men of the Baltimore & Ohio OF a
master mechanic Of the road who waged q
long and losing war with the Friday and
number IS superstitons. Not only did he
send a new locomotive out on Friday for
its first trip, but he numbered II 10. He
had difficulty In getting engineers and fire
men for No, 70. Some of them when or
dered to the engine quit the road rather
than defy fate. But the h~ard-headed mas
ter mechanic had a bulldog temperament
and he would not even allow a good luck

gineer has seen a ghost, knows those who
have had that experience, or has heard of
the spiritual visitation from some appar-
emily authentic source. The proceedings
OF the Society of Psychical Research con-
tain many instances Of this nature recited
in ~undoubted good faith. In one case an
engineer of a western railroad saw the
ghost Of his wife suddenly spring out Of
the darkness into the area OF the headlight
on the track ahead Of his speeding train
as 1t rounded a sharp curve. Clearly. dis
tinctly, above the deafening rumble Of the
train, he heard her say: The bridge Is
washed out An instant more and the air
brakes were gripping the wheels in claws
OF steel amid a shower OF metal sparks.
and the long train came TO a standstiIl
within a few feet Of a br!dgeless chasm.
Al the same time, miles away at the other
end OF the route. the engineers wife awoke
with a scream from a vivid dream OF dan
ger TO her husband. The bridge is washed

who had rushed to her bedside. Was it
telepathy? who knows. They tell the
story in the smoke-grimed roundhouses ON

FISHERMAN ASSAULTED.
Emil Anderson Is Beaten Up in His
Waterfront Shack by Two Men.

Emil Anderson, fisherman living
in shack at the foot of G street
was badly beaten about the head ant
face Monday by Gust. West and Ed
Blockman. who smashed in the door
to get at their victim, who was
asleep when they arrived.
West and Blockman were arrested
Tuesday, and taken before Judge
Lanning to have preliminary or
a charge of burglary, which had been
filed by Prosecuting Attorney Boner
The evidence brought out the fact
that West and Blockman had been
drinking Saturday night in the An
derson shack and had lost some
money. They suspected Anderson OF
stealing it, and concluded to hammer
him up for satisfaction. They were
committed to Jail in default of fine
of S25 and costs each.

ALL ABOUT A WAGON.
A. Wenn Loans a Wagon to One Man
and Has Another Arrested for Its
Return.

Constable Dean went to Copalis
the other day with a warrant for the
arrest of Frank Kendall, on charge
of stealing a wagon. Kendall came
back with the officer justly indignant
over his Arrest, if his side of the story
be true, as it has every appearance.
In January Wenn loaned a farm
wagon to Fred Irwin to go to Copalis,
who failed to return the vehicle. La
ter he wrote to Copalis and learned
that Kendall was using the wagon,
when he swore out the warrant for
his arrest. 1t now appears that
when Kendall learned the owner of
the wagon he shipped it to him, and
it was in the Aberdeen freight depot
and had been for two weeks. The
case has not been set for trial, and
probably will not be.

accused Of charge Of larceny. supple
mented by the fact that Bruclxler is
about TO take unto himself a wife, were

him.
Bruckler was indicted on a charge of
the larceny OF a watch from Harry c.
Hill. When Bruckler appeared in
court yesterday afternoon he was ac-
companied by hls mother ana many
friends. The women were greatly in
terested in the welfare of the young
man, and after Deputy Attorney Ger

young man retired after informing tha
court that there were grave doubts Of
Brucklers guilt. that he had a good
reputation and was about TO be mar
ried, the company left the court room
in a happy mood
rM Hastings said this morning that
the fact that BruclSler was about to be
married did not influence him in re-
tiring the case. Circumstances in tho
case, he said. pointed to the innocence
