MUDDLE IN GREENVuILE.
II. G. Stone Seeks to Prevent Mayor
Mahon Acting as Recorder.

Gieenville, March 25.-R. G..
Stone, a young member of the local
bar, to-day applied to Judge Shipp,
presiding over the court of common
pleas, for a rule requiring G. H. Ma
hon, mayor of the city Of Greenville,
To aaow by what authority he claims
to exercise the office of recorder.
Mr.. Stone was elected recorder by
city council on September 21, 1907,
and held the office for several
months. In his petition he alleges
that zone G. II. Mahon has, without
warrant or authority of law, usurped
the said office of recorder and claims
to exercise the duties thereof" He
further alleges that he has requested
Mayor Mahon to desist from the ex-
ercise of the duties of said office, and
that the latter refused. Judge Shipp
issued rule requiring Mayor Mahon
to show cause before him on March
80 by what authority he holds the
Office. This promises to be another
municipal sensation. Croft e. Croft,
OF Aiken, will represent Mr.. Stone,
and 1t is said that j. A. McCullough
will represent Mr.. Mahon. Before
Mr.. stone was elected recorder the
mayor presided over police court
and since Mr.. Stone was ousted he
has been presiding.

thiss 'Nubbin Ridge!"
One thing that Oakway and
sSoQth Union greatly need--yea, two
fhin gs-namely, railroad from
Westminster through Oakway and to
the regions beyond, and high,
school. Then this section Of the
county would be an .Aden, and it
would blossom as the rose. And
the people there are going to have
both, for there is more in the man
than in the land.
Our stay in this section was linn
tied. On the morning Of the 18th
We bade our kind friends goodbye,
and headed for Richland. In passing
we made short call at the
Oakway School.
Prof. VIM. McGraw is the princi-
pal, with Mrs. Graham and Miss
Hutchins, assistants. Prof. McGraw
met us at the door with a pleasant
smile and indeed a warm welcome.
We noticed with pleasure and profit
the earnest effort that the professor
and his assistants were putting forth
in crder to teach these young arch
ers how to shoot. This is a good
school building with three rooms,
with ABOUT one hundred and seventy
pupils on the roll.
Prof McGraw is bending every
effort Of his soul to educate the
hearts as we'll as the heads Of these
boys and girls, young men and mai
dens. AS a whole this school can
show up with any school in the
county. All the pupils are healthy,
cheerful and fine looking. We were
impressed with this thought, What
will their destiny be? May these
young men and boys be as tender
plants grown up in their youth; and
these fair daughters Of Oakway, may
they be as corner-stones, polished al
ter the sim!litude OF palace.

Oakway and South Union, accord

ing the old engineer and his work the
Cheyenne Leader says;
During his thirty-nine years Of engine
service he has never had an accident. a
record that is rarely. if ever, duplicated
even in service of less duration. and dur
ing that time he has performed continual
service, never having missed a pay day.
Tom Reeds little dinkey engine is one
of the most interesting pieces of machin-
cry in the Union Pacific yards of this
city. It was formerly one of the old style
engines with large open smOkestacks, and
was used some fifteen years ago to pull
mixed trains on the Utah division of the
Union Pacific, on a branch line to Park
City. SoOme nine years ago il was
brought to Cheyenne and torn to pieces.
The old boiler was then refitted with new
material and the engine came out of the
shops as new machine, the greater part
of il having been made here in Cheyenne
The tank was taken off and a new one
put on top of the boiler. Since then il
has been used for shop service in pulling
cars and hauling railroad material be-
tween the different shops"

W. F. Beer In addition to numerous
bruises and cuts about the body and head.
FOley's face and body was badly burned
by escaping ammonia, and it is feared
that he may lose his sight even though
he may recover otherwise. The probable
ity of conclusion of the brain is also
feared by the physicians at the hospital.
Notwithstanding the fact that Foley
was injured before o'clock. the officials
of the company declined to notify the wife

ton is delicate and it was feared the
shock would be more dangerous than the
suspense.
The cause Of the accident had not been
determined up to closing time at the pack
ing plant last evening. but it is believed
that either heat, caused by the friction of
a metal scale from the piston rod or a
crack in the jacket OF the condenser. ad-
hitting oxygen in sufficient quantity to
cause reaction, brought about the mis-
hap.
