West Virginia this year is one OF the
doubtful states, the vote indicating
almost an even break between Iaft

than 20 votes better than Taft. There
is little doubt that Bennett, Democrat
for governor, will be elected.

CLERKS RACE CLOSE.

The race for the office of county
clerk will probably not be determined
until every vote in the county is ac-
counted for. Mcdonald (Rep.) and
Oldfield (Dem.) are both claiming
victory and have been running meek

count of the ballot.
Returns as they have been reach

there is practically no knowledge
here of the Taft-Bryan race in the

Great Olympic Stadium.

London.-The last girder for the
steel structure of the great stadium at
Shepherds Bush, London, in which the
Olympic games will be contested this
year, was placed in position last week.
and some idea can now be obtained of
the magnitude Of the British Olympic
Associations undertaking.
This stadium has been designed to
accommodate 10000 spectators, and be-
sides will contain rooms for the COM
petitors. officials and general public
and a lot of floor space for exhibits of
sporting implements. The center is a
turf arena 700 feet in length by 300
feet in width, around which has been
laid a running track having three laps
to the mile and outside this again a
cycling track having two and three
quarter laps to the mile.
The turf and tracks were laid last
fall and are already in splendid condi-
ton and have been declared the best
in England. Alongside the arena is a
swimming pond 100 metres in length.
with u deep space in the middle for
high diving and water polo, events
which the committee believe will be
among the most interesting of the
meeting.
The games to be contested In the sta.
dunn will be divided into two parts.
the main Olympic games. opening on
July 18th, will include athletics. cy.
cling. fencing, gymnastics. archery,
swimming and wrestling. and the win.
ter games, beginning on October 10Th,
and including football. both Rugby and
Association. hockey and lacrosse. For
tho games which can not be played In
the stadium the association has made
arrangements with the clubs in and
around London for the use of their
grounds.

PASSENGERS IN PERIL,
Colorado Midland Train Narrowly Es-
capes Fearful Disaster.

Denver.-One of the most remark
able and narrow escapes from rail-
road catastrophe ever recorded in this
state, which probably would have
eclipscd in horror any in the history
of Colorado railroad wrecks, had 1t
happened, occurred at 9 o'clock in the
evening of February 18th, on the west
bound Colorado Midland road as train
No. 5 was rounding the famous He'll
Gate between Busk and Ivanhoe.
Only the presence of mind Of s. B.
Hopkins, Rock Island tourist man
ager, who was on board, prevented the
train from leaping the track at He'll
Gate and falling into the canon below
with its nine coaches of passengers.
w. r. Armor, a former Denver man,
now of Salt Lake, who was on board,
tells the story. The engineer stepped
out of his cab for moment on the run
ming board of the engine to examine
something. The cab door blew shut
behind him, and the fireman, who had
not seen him go out, thought he had
lost control of the engine and jumped
to save his life. He became frightened
and leaped from the cab himself. The
engine was running down heavy
grade and in few moments had
gained a frightful speed.
Mr.. Hopkins was in one Of the Pull
mans and, noticing the unusual speed,
realized that something was wrong. He
seized the emergency brake and pulled
hard, bringing the train 10 sudden
stop just as it was rounding into He'll
Gate, where the chasm is a 1000 feet
down.
The engineer was found upon the
engine, but the fireman was missing.
The passengers instituted search for
him and after an hours hunting he
was found far back along the track
with both legs broken and otherwise
so injured that he was still uncon-
scious when removed from the train
to a hospital in Glenwood Springs.
The passengers were so gratefui
that they sent letter to the Rock
Island headquarters at Chicago. com
mending the action of Mr.. Hopkins.

The county fair tax proposi-

vote shows that 1896 electors
voted for it and 1891 against.
The county commissioners
will now be permitted to levy a
tax of one-fourth of one mill on
the total assessed valuation of
the county. County Auditor
Iver NJ. Brandjord estimates
that this should yield a reve-
nue. of about So, 600 to the fair.
Now that county aid has been
voted there is no reason why
Bottineau county should not
have one of the very best fairs
in the state. The association
has fine grounds in this city
and no county in North Dako-
