ON WILD CADOOSE
HE SAVES A TRAIN
CONDUCTOR SWINGS ABOARD AND
WARNS oNcoMING FLYER IN
NICK OF TIME.

Denver, Conductor William
Mccoy of the Denver & Rio Grande
road, became the hero Of thrilling
ride over La Veta Pass the other
morning. Boarding a runaway ca
boose as it passed Walsenburg sta
ton, going at the rate of 20 miles an
hour and gaining momentum every
moment, he saved a passenger train
from wreck.
Mccoy was in the depot when he
heard the sound of the approaching
car. Thinking part of the train which
he had come in on, and which he had
left to be switched, had broken loose,

brigade.
While the fire fighters were hard at
work plying their losing battle, sud
denly the cry of sail no" was heard.
The vessel sighted proved to be
tramp steamship. who Immediately
came to the rescue. This ship took
the crew into Messina.
Such was the news brought to New
York by the italian steamship Rocca.
The captain had talked with Capt.
Hudson and his wife who are now
waiting for home passage at Messina
According to this captains story, the
Henry Clausen, Jr., was a trim three
masted schooner, laden with lumber
from Gulfport, Miss, to the Azores
The skipper, Capt. Hudson, was from
Bath, Me. 1t was his honeymoon trip,
his wife being New England girl
She it was who introduced the An
gelus prayer among the sailors of the
craft, which at first caused some
zrumbling.
When the hurricane overlook the
ship it was about 500 miles from st.
Michaels. Early in the fight with the
elements Capt Hudson became dis
abled by far gg spar. The mate
took command, And reported that the
men were in a paroxysm of terror and
refused to obey orders, budding in

he ran out and saw the cabocse COM
ing down the track Quick as thought
he remembered that passenger train
was coming in within a few minutes,
and that the flying caboose was on
the same track.
He took his life in his hands and
swung on the runaway car. He tried
to put on the brakes, but was unable
to. Something had given way, which
accounted for the car breaking loose
At the same instant that he learned of
the brakes failure to work he saw the
distant light of the passenger train
coming up the divide.
In a brief second he had taken the
lantern from the rear of the caboose
and was madly signaling the oncoming
train
Engineer Henthorne of the passen-
ger train saw the signals, stopped his
train, and began to back up with all
possible speed.
The wild caboose gained on the en-
CINE as both neared the junction, but
the train reached safety in time for a
brakeman to jump off and throw the
switch, permitting the caboose to take
the Y toward Trinidad
On the Y track it soon struck the
heavy grade on Tuna hill and stopped.
The passengers on the train did not
know the danger until it was all over.
Then they realized that only the pres
ence of mind of Conductor Mccoy and
the prompt action of Engineer Hen
thorne had prevented what would
probably have been a severe disaster.

Fur-Edqed skirts.

There is a revival of an old fashion
this season to edge skirts with fur
bands.
This viii suit admirably for the
woman who has odd bits of fur that
she does not, know how to use. One
band may be added or two or three.
These should not be put on short
skirts, but on those worn for dress
occasions.

The Width of the Skirt.

The dressmakers have decided that
about the best width for the modern
clinging skirt is two yards or few
inches over. Street skirts cut above
the ankles, made of rough fabrics, are
not always this wide, but the two
yards in unstiffened satin or tulle give
enough fullness at footline.

HARD BLOW FOR
STATE CASE
SOLDIER WITNESS JUST DIS
COVERED YESTE r DAY
SWEARS THERE WAS NO
DEAD BODY ON KNOLL AT
IMPORTANT DATE.

Dramatic incidents marked the
closing hour of yesterdays session
of the Clein trial. After q some
what unsatisfactory examination
for Clein of medical experts called
by the defense, his counsel intro
duced the most startling and effec.
tive testimony yet heard in bis be-
half when Private Wheeler Boyd
of Fort Wright swore thats there
was no dead body on the knoll at
the fort on March 8 or 10.
The states case is predicated on
the theory that Saudawski was
killed on the knoll on the military
reservation on the night of March
! and that his dead body lay there
undiscovered until March 81.
After the delivery of this body
blow to the state, Prosecutor Pugh
in turn sprung little sensation by
asking Boyd how much he had re-
ceived for giving this testimony.
Boyd said he had received nothing.
Pugh then asked if Attorney Wins
ton had given Sergeant Young OF
Boyd's company $40 to secure tes-
timony in the case, to which Boyd
said he did not know, Pugh further
asked if the witness knew whether
or not Winston had donated $40 to
the company fund of Boyd's COM
pany, to which the witness said he
did not know.
Attorney Winston, after these
questions had been asked, re-
quested of the court the right to
call Sergeant Young, who was I'M
der subpoena as witness for the
state Court granted the request.
The inference gained from
Pugh's final questions 10 Boyd was
that there existed some sort of con-
spiracy among the soldiers at Fort
Wright to Job" the state in order
to free Clein.
Boyd was subjected to a most
rigid cross examination by Prose
cutor Pugh, but he chung well to
the vital points of his original
story. Boyd seemed little con-
fused as to the point at which he
entered the reservation and his
general movements in going over
the ground, but could not be
shaken as to his positiveness that
there was no body on the knoll on
the day of his visit.
Boyd said that he had not been
subpoenaed as a witness until yes
terday and could not explain why
he had not sooner come to the
front with the important informa-
ton possessed by him. Boyd left
the stand with perspiration pouring
down his face in streams.

ANOTHER MURDER
MYSTERY UNSOLVED

In all probability the murder OF
Anton Mortenson, the ranchhand
found dead in the wild country
near the Little Spokane river, will
be numbered among the numerous
unsolved murder mysteries record
ed in the criminal annals of Spo-
kane county. Deputy Sheriffs
Doak and Mills, who have been at
work on the case since Sunday,
announced at the conclusion of
their work last night that they
were without even a clue, and
that the death of young Mortenson
was enshrouded in as much mys-
terry as if he had been killed in
a foreign land.

Special Correspondence to The Presf
NEW YORK, May 27.-Will
young Henry Rogers ii rule over
the domains of Rogers, or will a
regent be appointed until he reach
es his financial majority? This is
one of the first questions Wall
street asked when it learned of
the death of H. H. Rogers, the
elder.
The general belief is that the
new king will take the scepter
himself.
Henry II. Rogers, jr, is the first
of the circle of second generation
oil-copper-steel milliCnaires to be
tested The Rockefellers. Morgan,
Stillman, Perkins are still in the
harness. The eder Rogers death
is the first break in the old crowd
which has made itself dominant in
finance within the last 30 years.
But it can't be very many years
before they are all gone. What
after? Will the second oil-cOpper
generation follow the example of
the Astors and go in for foreign
titles. leaving business to man
ayers and clerks-and new million
aires rising from below? Or is
there another Cornelius Wander
bilt in Standard Oil to follow a
commodore?
Henry H. Rogers, ir. has been
best known to the world through
his ambitions TO be a military man
via the national guard route. He
figured in the court-martial of
Colonel Dyer while he was a cap
tain in the Twelfth regiment of the
New York militia.
The court-martial released Dyer,
and Rogers, finding the regimental
mess unpleasant, jumped to the
Twenty-second engineers. From
there he went to the famous Sixty
ninth regiment, where he made a
fight for the lieutenant colonelcy,
which is reputed to have cost him
100000. He was not elected.
