More Fast Trains

The Oregon Short Line railroad is to
put on an extra TRAN each way, every
day, clear through from Chicago to the
coast, about the first of May, according
to information given out by a we'll
posted official of that system. This is
to be the fastest train crossing the
continent. It will be probably not to
exceed seven cars, unless the through
business is heavy enough to make it
necessary to increase its length While
nothing definite is as yet put out con-
corning its equipment, it will probably
be one through mail Car, one baggage
car, diner, and the rest will be Pull
mans, with an observation car on the
rear. The train will be electrically
lighted, there being dynamo in the
front end of the mail car, to be run
from the exhaust steam from the en-.
CINE. 1t will be the finest and fastest
train on the road, and will take prece-
dence of everything else. This will be
the regular Nos. and 2, the new
local trains being II and 10. All three
trains each way daily will be through
trains. Nos. and 2'will stop only at
junction and other important points,
and no passes will be recognized, not
even for important railroad officials, it
being solely for the travel.
The present $500 class of Atlantic
type engines will probably be used on
the fast trains. They are used almost
exclusively on the passenger trains now
but with the heavy trains of 10 and Is
cars, have been put to cart horse duty
instead of the greyhound running they
were built to do. With the heavy
trains they have been able to maintain
a remarkably efficient schedule, con-
sidering the long runs and the very
heavy roads they have to cover; but
with trains of only 6 to 8 cars they
should fairly burn up the distance and
make an almost invariable schedule.
To apportion the present business
among the three trains instead of two q
day, will mean to shorten all the trains
and allow of better time and closer
running. The 5000 class of six-driver
engines, number of which are owned
by the Short Line, are being overhauled
and put in order for the regular pass
enger runs. They are not nearly SO
heavy as the magnificent "sOO's" but
with light trains would make the best
of time.-Ogden Journal.

He's Not q Bad Fellow

Harry Coogan, chief clerk of the
Assembly, felt rather put out yesterday
over a published clipping taken from
the Elkor Independent rejecting upon
his integrity. Harry" has a number
.ef friends in the legislature. Though
he has been criticised a few times dur.
ing the session his integrity or honesty
has never yet been questioned. With
'Sn his faults he is not a bad sort of
'ehap.-Carson News.
= The INDEPENDENT criticism of Mr..
,.C6ogan was based upon reports found
IN the Carson papers and what promi-
nent member of the assembly told us in
regard to Mr.. Coogan's conduct with the
anti-gambling bill He was reprimand-
ed by Speaker Citizen for that and shortly
afterward was reprimanded again by
The speaker for his conduct with an
othep@Blib .u.
! Our criticism was based entirely on
these reports. If they were true, Mr..
Coogan's honesty and integrity were
certainly questioned. He may not be
"a bad sort of chap" as the News says,
but he is not the right sort of man
for the responsible position he fills. A
man in that position should be above
criticism in the performance of his
duties.

A Mos, Brutal Murder

Mrs. G.: c. Petty was brutally muir
dered at Sparks by her husband Tues
day night. The couple had been mar
lried about nine years and about eight
months ago Mrs. Petty secured q
divorce in Reno on the ground of ex-
treme cruelty. She worked a while
afterward at Sparks and earned money
to take herself and two children back to
her fathers at Key West, Florida.
Petty followed her and at Ogden com.
PEELED her to renarry him under threats
chat he would Kill her and the children.
They returned to Sparks after the
Ogden marriage and Petty went to
work in the shops. Tuesday night Petty
quarrelled with his wife and brutally
beat her. She ran. from the house and
he followed her. He caught her near
the Methodist church and on her refusal
to go back to the house with him.. he
choked her and then shot her. AS Mrs.
Petty slipped to the sidewalk, he shot
again and did not stop until he had FIR
ed three more bullets in her body.
Petty then ran away. Two men who
had witnessed the shooting from q dis
tance hurried to where the woman lay
and taking her in their arms carried
her to the Methodist church. She died
just inside of the church door
The officers were notified at once and
on their going to Petty's house found
him. He seemed unconcerned and
pretended to know nothing about the
murder of his wife He was locked up
in the Sparks Jail over night and the
next day was taken to the comfy Jail
at Reno
Two children, aged and years, saw
the quarrel in the house before the
murder and saw their father return
after the killing. The older one has
told the officers about the quarrel and
about her fathers return to the house.
The children are being cared for by
kind hearted people in Sparks.
Petty's case seems to be one that de-
mands speedy punishment. There
should be no delay in his trial, convic-
tion and punishment. He deserves no
more mercy than he showed the help

HORRIBLE FATE OF
WOMAN WEAVER
Hair Caught in Machinery and
Scalp Torn From the
Skull

Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-Caught by
her hair in the big cog wheels of a
machine which she was cleaning, Mary
Marion. 80 years old, of 1922 South
street, weaver in the Tracey Wool
en- mills, at Twenty-sixth and Pine
streets, was lifted clear from the floor
today, whirled around in the air un-
til all the hair was torn from her
head, and sho was thrown senseless
into corner of the room.
The woman is in tho University
hospital still in an unconscious con-
ditiOn. Physicians there state that
her wounds are among the most hor-
rible which they have ever had to
treat. Her entire scalp was stripped,
necessitating the insertion of twenty
six stitches to keep 1t in place. Her
skull is also badly fractured. 1t Is
feared that She will die.
One Worker Near.
The woman was cleaning the ma
chine preparatory to. leaving at. noon
when the accident happened. She
was under the machine, wiping the
intricate parts of with q nluth, and
zunmindful OF tho proximity .os her
head to the revolving cogwheels
There was but one other worker on
the floor.
AS Miss Marion raised her head to
begin the cleaning process on another
part of the machine. the wheels
snatched q thick braid of her long hair
and pulled her clear off the floor.
In another second all of the girls
plentiful coiffure was wound about
and entangled in the cogs of the
wheels and was being hurled around
in a circle with the rapid movement
Of the machine.
Twice she made this agonizing trip,
and then as the cogs tore all the hair
from her head and there was nothing
left for their grip the woman was
thrown through the air with terri
BILE impetus, her body striking wall
several feet distant.
Summons Foreman to Aid.
Tho other employe in the room,
fear-stricken at first by her COM
panion's plight, regained self posses
sion enough finally to run to the next
floor and inform the foreman of the
fate of Miss Marion.
He ran up the stairs followed by a
score Of girl workers with the inten-
tion Of pulling the betting of the ma
chinery from the wheels. Such q
measure was not necessary, however,
as the girl was no longer in the grasp
of the torturing wheels, but lay in an
inert heap upon the floor.
When her companions saw the mutt
lated form Of the girl on the floor
they became hysterical, and it was
with some difficulty that they were
controlled.
An automobile was summoned, and
tho prostrated woman rushed to the
University hospital at law breaking
speed.
1t is believed that in addition to the
injuries sustained to the skull and
head, Miss Marion has received inter-
nal injuries from her plunge against
the wall.

WOMAN DEAD OF POISON
The Husbands Arrest Follows Kan.
sas Wife's Death.

Emporia. Kas., Aug. 17.-Mrs. w.
H. McMullen, who lived or G farm
near Neosho Rapids, twelve miles
from here, died several days ago after
a short illness. Physicians who at
tended her before her death and made
an examination afterward said she
died of acute morphine ppoisoning.
A warrant Charging the husband
with the murder was sworn out today
by the county attorney, Mr.. Samuels.
McMullen was arrested this afternoon
and is now in jail here.
McMullen has lived many years in
the vicinity. of Neosho Rapids. At
one time he owned a big farm and is
accounted we'll to do. Some years
ago he retired and now lives on a
farm of about Is acres. He is about
80 years old.
McMullen's first wife died several
years ago. About year ago he
married again, and it Is gossiped about
that he met his wife through the med
ium of a matrimonial agency. The
second Mrs. McMullen was 81 years
old at the time of her death.
Early this week Mrs. McMullen be-
came Ill. DR.. A. 8. Fuller of Hart
ford, a nearby town, who attended her,
prescribed morphine in small quanti-
ties to be given at intervals of seven
hours. After giving one dose he
left. When he was again summoned
to the house Mrs. McMullen was suf-
fering from morphine poisoning. Doc
tor Fuller says It was not yet time for
her second dose of medicine and that
she had been given an overdose.
After Doctor Fuller and other doc
tors had made an investigation they
asked that a warrant be issued. There
is no evidence to show that the hus-
band gave an over dose of morphine
or that such dose was administered
by any one with intent to commit mur-
der. McMullen says that the accu-
sation against him is foolish and that
the doctors made q mistake and are
accusing him to protect themselves.
McMullen has two daughters by his
first wife, one of whom lives in SYRIA
cuse, Kas. She was here recently on
visit.
Mrs. McMullen carried $4,000 insur-
ance on her life.
