.PACKEY AND NELSON
UNABLE TO AGREE
Have Final Conference and
Fail to Come to Terms
Over Pictures.

The old saying that there is nobody
as stubborn as pugilist when it comes
to making terms for a match again is
proved in the case of Packey McFar-
land and Battling Nelson. The fight
ers held final conference last night
at the theater where Mcfarland is ap-
pearing this week and simply could not
agree. Manager Harry Gilmore Jr did
the talking for Mcfarland and the
Dane made his own conversation
The little thing they have been bag
Cling over for two days still keeps them
apart. The Dane does not want McFar-
land to cut in on the picture privilege
Gilmore insists that Mcfarland secure
his bit. Gilmore made one concession.
He offered TO split the fighters share
of the receipts of the pictures on a
winner and loser basis and friends Of
Nelson thought he would agree to this.
But the Dane said no" more firmly
than ever.

Small Dog Burned in Fire

A small house opposite the railroad
station was burned Wednesday after
noon. The building was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs Clary who had moved in
only few days before and were car
rying on laundry business. 1t is not
known how the fire started as the fam
ily was not at home. A small dog
was burned to death. The door was
broken in and few things carried out,
but nearly every thing was destroyed.
A line of freshly washed clothes were
not injured. Several other houses in
the neighborhood were in danger but
good work saved them. Owing to the
impossible condition of the viaduct
the fire apparatus was not taken out.
Besides, when the fire was discovered
it was burning too fercely to be ex-
tinguished.
Mrs. Martin has had charge of the
house for ten years. 1t was owned by
Mrs. E. Tabor of St. Paul, MINI. In
surance on the building covers the loss.

WADUCT WRECKED
Stock Car Reduced to TOothpicks-Switch
Tracks Distracted

An unusual if not unprece dented
wreck occurred in the Leavenworth
switch yards last Sunday afternoon. A
stock car was reduced to splinters and
two bents of the viaduct demolished.
The switch engine was setting
string of cars into the switch when a
stock car jumped the track just be-
low the viaduct and struck one of the
bridge supports made Of four 9x9 inch
timbers. The push of the train be-
hind the stock car forced it against
car OF coal which crumpled it up like
paper, lifted it in the air and and flung
it on top of the coal car. This made it
too high to go under the viaduct, which
was broken in the middle of one of the
spans and the length collapsed, falling
on the cars of the train. The stock
car was reduced to toothpicks.
The viaduct will be impossible for
several days until it can be rebuilt.
All the switch tracks were full of
freight cars. 1t was fortunate the
main track was not INSTRUCTED. Trains
were not delayed. Switching and
making up freight trains were done
under difficulties for day or two,
until the wreckage was cleared. A
car marked Explosives" was next to
the stock car. The force of the i'm
pact broke the drawbar on this car.
If the contents had been exploded
there would have been a different story
to tell.
The viaduct has been in use about
two years. For some time previous
the town had tried to induce the
Great Northern to construct viaduct
over the tracks to accommodate travel,
but could get no satisfaction. At
last L. ]. Nelson suggested to the
council that the town condemn a street
on the grade near where the bridge is
now. The company wanted no grade
crossing at that point. Immediately
after proceedings in condemnation had
been started the company sat up, took
notice, and sent a lawyer man here
hot foot.
The lawyer offered to build via
duct at once if the proceedings could
be stopped. AS the viad uct was the
one thing the town wanted, the propo-
sition was accepted. The bridge is
the result. The town agreed to keep
it in repair. The work Of repair, how
ever, does not include breakage by cars
being hurled through it.
