fact that will be borne out by the chief
fire inspector of insurance companies
that the fire department of Hatties-
brug stands first In the state-none
excels it. This is record of which
the citizens of the city should be
proud, as well as the fire ladies them
selves.
Chief Potter has the idea about con-
Quoting fire departments. 1t is his
idea, and none will disagree, that it
is far better to prevent fires than to
have them. To this end he inspects
the flues in different buildings and
has them fixed right where possible.
More than-half the fires that any
city has originate from defective 1ues
and if the danger from them is re-
moved, the number of fires will be re-
duced to half. Chief Potter should
be required by the city council not
only to inspect the building flues, but
all the flues Of the city and they
should be fixed according to his direc-
lions, under penalty of a fine for a
failure to do so. The prevention Of
fires, the same as the prevention Of
sickness, is an important matter and
Chief Potter should have cordial CO.
operation along this line.

The Faust Legend.

For 1,4O0 years the Faust legend
 the sale of human soul to a deVi! has existed. The first recorded hint
 of it's vitality is given in the sixth cen
 tury story of 'Theophilus. That
 story suited the early Christians iG their efforts to stamp out the necro- mancing devices of evilly disposed per sons prone to seek power by unholy means The association of the name of Faust, however. with the legend is not more than 400 yards old. The likeliest prototype of the modern Faust is the man of the same name who in Cracow boldly proclaimed him. self a professor of magic. In the six teenth century stories Helen of Troy was bestowed by Mephistopbeles upon Faust. and not until the middle of the eighteenth century does there appear a shadowy Margaret. in he form of beautiful but poor girl" wbo after ward develops into he Margaret Of Goethe.

TRAIN PLUNGES
THROUGH BRIDGE
Engineer and Mail Clerk Are
Seriously Injured, but the
Coaches Remain on Track.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 21.-Seriously
injuring Engineer Gillette and a mail
clerk, the engine and baggage car Of
the southbound Spokane Falls & North
ern passenger train plunged today
through a burning trestle two miles
south Of Darts siding. The rest Of
the train remained on the track.
The accident occurred while the train
was rounding a curve. Smoke from
brush fires prevented the engineer see
ing the bridge was on fire until it was
too late to stop the train. The engine
ran clear across before the bridge
broke, letting the baggage and mail cars
deep into the ravine.
The weight Of the cars dragged the
engine back and down, but fortunately
the coupling connecting the car with
the rest of the train broke, leaving the
two passenger cars standing on the
brink
All the passengers escaped safely, but
the blazing wreck communicated to the
cars still on the track and all the
coaches were burned.
Latest reports state that Engineer
Gillette is not dead, but sustained in
juries about the head. Mark Hanna
was the conductor Of the train, but
escaped injury.

FARMERS SUSTAIN
IMMENSE Loss
Ephraim, Nephi and Fountain
Green Flooded by the
Rushing Waters.
Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.

Especial to The Herald-RepublCan.
Ephraim, Aug. PA cloudbmst, fol-
lowed by a food uneQuaIled in volume
and disastrous in extent, came sudden
ly upon the people of EphTaim, Nephi
and Fountain Green about noon today.
The terrific rain on the mountains and
in the canyons swelled the mountain
streams to torrents, and they rushed
down the hillsides and into the towns,
carrying everything before them. Huge
boulders and logs We're brought down
by the swift waters JneStimable DAM
age was done to reservoirs, irrigation
bitches and highways.
In Ephraim the clOuahurst was her
aided by a terrific electrical storm. A
barn was burned and several trees were
struck by lightning. No one was in
jured, however. The rain fell in tor
rents for a short time, but shortly aft
er noon the clouds cleared away.
About an hour later, without warning,
a great rush Of water came down the
mountain side. The water took the
same course and the same channel
taken by the flood of Wednesday, but
the water was much swifter and of
much greater volume. All Of the streets
were flooded and are still impossible.
Cellars were filed and gardens and
orchards washed out. The ffOodgates
and channels Of private reservoirs and
irrigation bitches were destroyed, and
the loss to farmers and orchardists is
incalcuIable.
All communication with Nephi and
the Sanpete valley is cut off. Telephone
lines are down and the roads are all
blocked by the floods. It is believed
that Nephi suffered fully as much as
Ephraim from the foods.

day coach and chair cars remained on
the track. The Pullman went off the
rails and after being dragged several
hundred feet, broke loose from the
diner and turned over. No one was
fatally injured. The injured were at
tended by physicians from Piedmont,
after other passengers rescued them
from the overturned car.

DETAIN INDIAN GIRLS
WHO LEAVE INSTITUTION
Report of Attempts to Get Them
Away Will Be Investigated
by Authorities.

Lawrence Kas., Aug. 21.-Four In
dian girls, students at Haskell institute.
yesterday attempted to make their es-
cape from the institution and were
ready to board a train for Kansas City
when taken into custody by a police
officer. The girls had been promised
work in Kansas City if they would
come there, and their expenses were
being paid by some person unknown to
the authorities at Haskell.
When the girls were taken back to
the school it was learned that similar
attempts of girls in the institute to es-
cape have been frequent and that
number have gone to Kansas City,
where all efforts to locate them have
proved futile.
J. o. Miligan, disciplinarian at Has
kell, said today that it was the belief
at Haskell that a regular traffic had
existed for some time.
Mr. Milligan has discovered that In
dian girls were being taken to Kan
sas City from reservations, as well as
from the school here. Superintendent
H. A. PEARS has asked the department
of the interior to send secret service Of
ficials to Lawrence to investigate the
matter.
