FELL UNDER
TRAIN WHILE
CHASING HOBO
Southern Pacific Brakeman
Loses Right Leg At WeIton
While Keeping Hoboes Off
the Train.

YUMA, Dec. 25.-Wednesday as ex-
ira freight No. 1852 was passing Well
ton, one of its brakemen accidentally
fell beneath the wheels and lost his
right leg.
Byron Gray, it is learned that hobUcH'
were pretty thick and troublesome
and the boy that was hurt, l.. n.
Strong, was on the ground trying
TO keep them clear of the train
as it started west The last one he
was after grabbed a bar and swung
under a car and as the train was
gathering considerable Roadway
Strong concluded IL was cheaper for
the company to haul the fellow than
it was to stdu the train, so he passed
on and started TO climb aboard when
he caught his foot in some way and
fell. his right foot going beneath the
wheels.
Byron Gray was watching from the
caboose and saw the fall. He knew
what had happened, so he waved the
engine down, grabbed a blanket and a
stout stick and went to his comrades
assistance. Quickly cutting the pants

twisting the blanket into a rope and
took a turn on the rope above the
knee and at once stopped the flow of
blood and when picked up he held his
hold until the doctors here had the
patient under an opiate and the leg
properly bandaged.
The wounded man was brought to
Yuma about o'clock and was opeT-
ated on in the Wilson House hospital.
The leg was mangled from the knee al
most to the foot, and the flesh so bad.
ly torn and bruised above the knee
that the leg had to be cut pretty high
up, but the operation was a success,
and the patient came from under the
influence OF the anaesthetic and was
resting easily last night
Strong is we'll liked by the boys
with whom he works and while they
regret the accident because of the
pain and misfortune to him, they
doubly regret it because he has wife
and three little ones dependent on
him for sustenence.

CONSERVATION OF

Activity In This Respect Is Re

Middle West.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.--Since the re-
turn of the governors and delegates
to the conservation conference at
Washington early this month, renew
ed activity has been shown in the
movement, especially in the Middle
West The next important step, which
is now awaited with keenest interest,
is the transmission OF the report 10
congress by President Roosevelt with
whatever recommendations he may
see fit TO. make. The entire report
will then be made public. At the time
of the conference only the general
conclusions we're announced and 1t Is
understood that some of the papers
which accompany the full renert, con
tain new and sensational information
regarding the waste of the country's
natural resources. At the conference
resolutions were passed by the gov
errors and representatives of big ma

illusions of the commission. particular

}. C. Martin of Ohio Comes
Back With Trenchant Reply
To Roosevelt's Dissertation
On Religion.

DAYTON, o., Dec. i25.-Once more
bringing up tine question of the ~
ngipn of President-elect William II.
TAN, which occasioned much discus
sion previous to the election, and al
mding particularly to the assertion oil
President Roosevelt that Mr.. Taft's
religious creed was purely his own
private concern. j. c. Martin of this
city has written another letter TO the
president, taking sharp issue with
him and declaring:
This republic may or may not ex.
list for centuries, but so long as il
does exist it should be a God-fearing,
q IGodleving nation, with a president
in the chair who is an humble Chris,
tan and not ashamed of Jesus" He
follows it, up with this:
If William H. Taft had the faith
in his religion Pope Leo XIII. mad in
his church, neither ne nor yourself
would have withheld it until after the
election, but would have said. If il
will not stand the searchlights being
turned on, William H. Taft is not en-
titled to your votes"
Mr.. Martin says that the inference
plainly to be drawn from President
Rooseyelt's correspondence is that Ito
be a good, trustworthy American Cit
zen, it is only necessary to know that
the candidate for whom you vote be-
lieves in the principles OF the party to
which you are allied and pledges their
enforcement; but to take into consid
GRAFTON his religion, or even inquire
about it is narrow bigotry and foul

men viii join me-" continues MIR. Mar
tim in expressing to you my sincere
regret that in your letter to me OF
November 6, 1908, you. the president
of the United States. took the stand
which justifies the inference that duty
to party and its principles stand para.
s1nount to allegiance to God and His
teachings" .
b The most interesting supposition IS
put forth by Mr.. Martin that President
Smith, of the Mormon Church, with his
numerous wives and forty-two chill
dren, should give up the presidency of
the church and become candidate for
the presidency of the United States.
Why not?" he asks. What have the
ignorant or intelligent masses to do
with his religious belief? 1t would

were also passed urging a revision of

AMUSEM ENTS.

A packed house greeted the Calvin
company at the Orpheum last night to
witness the Two Jolly Companions,
every seat being sold for two hours
previous to the performance. Like all
musical comedies, there is no plot to
the bill, but what little plot there was,
was laughable. 1t is doubtful if ever
a more funny performance since the
Ham Tree" was ever seen here, and
from the. rise, to the fall of the curtain
the house was in IN upoar. The spec
ialties were above the average, and
the airship in the first act brilliant
spectacle, and was distinct hit, with
its tiny passengers.
The same play is announced for the
matinee today and tonight.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Charles III. Bradbury Victim o
Heart Failure.

Charles H. Bradbury, brother of
William Bradbury, the we'll known
live stock breeder was found dead in
his room at the Hotel Purviance, PIT
West Fifth street this morning by the
landlady when she went to his room
to call him for his work. For a num-
Der of days Mr.. Bradbury had COM
planned of being Ill and lad not re-
ported for work at the cornice works
of Louis Van Dorp, where he has been
employed for some time.
He was seen late Wednesday by
Mrs. Purviance and the presumption
is that he died some time during the
earlier part of last night of heart fail
ure from which he suffered for a num-
Der of years. Mr.. Bradbury lived with
his sister near the corner of Twenty
fourth street and Topeka avenue I'M
til few weeks ago when he en-
gagged a room at the Hotel Purviance
SO that he could be near his work.
He had small income from the es-
tate of his father, though he has
worked at various occupations about
the city for a number of years.
Coroner Keith was called and after
making a thorough examination Of all
of the conditions surrounding the
death decided that an inquest would
not be necessary.

what it is-the Republican party"
1t Was a Stubs Crowd.

The sentiment of the crowd which
attended the banquet last night was
very evidently in favor Of W. R. Stubbs.
Several times during the evening the
names of LELAND, Bailey and Stubs
were mentioned together in connection
with the nomination for governor. Lee
lands name, when mentioned, caused
some handclapping; Bailey's name
started what is commonly called
burst of applause while the mention
of Stubs was always the signal for
that good old fashioned thing called an
ovation.
One of the best speeches of the even
ing was that of the president, John
Dawson. Dawson, made the crowd lis
ten, and had some mighty strong
climaxes. -
The speech of Russell Butler of Kan
sas university was we'll written pro-
duction, delivered with clearness and
dignity Mr. Butler was the native
Kansan of the program.
w B. Ham of Stockton read his
speech on tRadicalism VS.. Conserva-
tism." 1t was a splendidly written
argument in favor of the radical in So
ciety. and abounded with historical
references and well-turned figures OF
speech.

Education" His speech was long. and
as Mr.. Nichols voice was not very
strong. it was hard for him to hold his
audience.
J N. Tincher of Medicine Lodge
spoke on the subject, "Our Platforms,
but didn't say much about platforms
He told the best funny story OF the
evening, and said that Medicine Lodge
was red hot in favor of the primary
election.
Fred s. Jackson's speech on The
serpent. the octopus and the elephant"
was jocularly referred to as "Jackson's
Menagerie." Jackson told of the rela-
lions of the prohibitory and antitrust
fights in Kansas to the Republican
but too long. Jackson was very popu-
lar with the crowd. When he arose to
speak he was given so much applause
that it put him right up in the class
with Governor Sheldon and Governor
Hoch.
When Governor Sheldon got up to
talk. the whole audience led by j. l..
Bristow, got up and cheered.
The menu of the banquet was better
than usual, and the serving was very
much better than is ordinarily the case.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DIR. Decatur D.
Dennis. the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
DR.. Dennis. in his own office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
tically a sure specific for Eczema.
psoriasis. BARRIERS itch, salt rheum.
and other itching skin diseases But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thynol compounded with the win
tergreen to produce the real eczema
cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch
at once-the instant it is applied to
the skin. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs so long
used IN an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema is first and all
the time a skin disease.

JUDGE WEST IN THE RACE
Assistant United States Attorney After
Place on Supreme Bench.

Judge ]. S. West. assistant United
States district attorney, came out to-
day as a candidate for one of the six
year terms on the state supreme court
bench. There are three terms which
expire this year and Judge West will
strive to secure the Republican nom
ination for one of them. 1t has been
twelve years since the First district has
had representative on the supreme
court bench and a great many years
longer than that since Shawnee county
has had a nominee for such an office,
consequently Judge West is receiving
some strong support for his candidacy.
He has of course the support of Re-
publican party leaders of Shawnee.
