Up, When II Passed.

The fact that the Lackawanna Rail-
road intended to take out the rail which
caused the derailment,, of the Million

point brought out at the inquiry before

Sleighter, section foreman. who said:
LAS soon as the train passed we in
tended to take the rail out and put fn
a new one."
A passenger who volunteered to give
his version of the accident failed to put
in an appearance and at one juncture
Assistant Attorney General Nelson b.
Gaskin, who conducted the examination,
with Commissioners Congdon, Whitney
and Secretary Barber, said: II believe
the only one who could throw any light
on this matter is the passenger who is
not present"
Engineer William H. Dalrymple,
who was in charge of the train,
said that when he passed the
rail blamed for the wreck he was go
ing twenty-five miles an hour. although
at other times his speed averaged from
thirty-hve to forty-flve miles. lie
said he was going slow because he was
on time and furthermore he knew that
section men were at work. He said
that they were repairing the rails at
that point for three weeks

has sure been heap stirred dur
ing the last few days. Excitement
attending the arrival in town of Bat
Ting Nelson and certainty entertained
that the fight would come off has
paled into insignificance alongside
the present eommotion. Burns-John-
son talk is clear in the rear. A dozen
hold-ups. railroad wreck, few abb
sconders, four or five murders and
half dozen elopements thrown IN
for good measure would hardly on
set the hue and cry that is now in
full swing on the strength of some
body's excelsior brand of hot air
and nothing more.

somewhere that the control of Ne

much revamped, fossiliferous prod
uet, guaranteed not to rip nor tear
in any copper mining camp in the
