TRAIN CONDUCTOR. j.

Circumstances surrounding the
mysterious and terrible death of c,
l.. Lamphere, a private In Co. l.,
Fort George Wright, will be probed
by post oKcers. Lamphere fell rs
feet from the Great Northern tres
tie across the river, just below the
Natatorium park, Saturday after
noon.
It is charged by G. c. Terry, a
soldier Of the same company, that
AL Moore, conductor of a work
train, pushed Lamphere of the
train and to his death, because he
tried to ride across the trestle.
This statement Is denied by mem
bers of the train crew. who declare
that Lamphere was intoxicated and
fell from the cars. Soldiers at the
fort vouch that Lamphere was not
a drinking man and show tenden-
cy to believe the story told by Ter.
ry, who had been in town with the
luckless young soldier. Lamphere
struck on his head at the bottom of
the dep ravine through which the
river runs and was dead before
any one could reach him. He was
80 years old and his home was In
Bay City. Mich, where some of his
relatives live.
Sensational developments may
rise from the investigation, which is
to be started some time this after
noon by the fort officials.

The bill for the Mission avenue

of the council in which the work
was authorized. The resolution al
