ing the peace Friday afternoon. Some
difficulty over a sewer ditch resulted

out the victor. All three men are in

having heated discussion in a rear
room of the plumbing shop when w.
Williams and his son turned loose on
Griffith who, however, proved too much
for them. The elder Williams picked
up a heavy lead pipe with which he
struck Griffith. A second blow was
prevented by the timely arrival of w.

Nineteen Stitches in His Face.

hands of a physician late last night
when the doctor found it was neces-

two large gashes which Johnson had
received at the hands of Gustave Dun

rived from Omaha, and with whom
Johnson engaged in a quarrel in the

head over his nose, opening one of
his nostrils and his lips. Another slash
of the knife opened cash in his arm,

Leap Of Railroad Employe From Pro.

Pittsburg, May 14.-National atten-
ton is today drawn to the meteoric
career of former brakeman on the
Pennsylvania lines, by the unqualified
success of a great chain of parks.
which he "fathered."
This spring and summer this mans
work will be truly appreciated, for he
has converted into beauty spots a
great series of what were once eve
sores to the traveler-and the few
minutes stop at stations along the
railway today has become a refresh
ing visit to a beautiful garden.
To day he is superintendent of hun
dreds of parks. constituting the largest
park system in the world, and located
at the stations along the Pennsylvania
lines.
This man is r. w Hutchinson, and
his leap from a prosaic job as brake
man to the poetic task of making
beauty spots from eX-dumping grounds
had its origin at the old Jacks Run
station, Pa.
Promoted to the office of agent at
Jacks Run and having full charge OF
the little tract of land surrounding the
tiny station house, he grasped the OPP
portunity for Identification. The at
tention of managing officials was at
tracted to his then remarkable
achievement with the result that he
was given full leeway to develop his
idea at every station, where the lay
of the land made it possible along the
Pennsylvania lines.
Millions of plants are grown each
season under his direction at the pro-
pagating houses at Sewickley, Pa.
From his volunteered small begin
ming at Jacks Run he has had the
pleasure of seeing his efforts develop
into what is now considered a very
important adjunct to the maintenance
of way department. Every station is
considered worthy of recognition, and
the railroad is one long avenue OF
nicely-kept lawns, ornamental shrub
berry, trees and beautiful floral deco
rations. A corps of employees are con-
tinually at work keeping the grass in
condition and nicely cropped trim

tive plants and flowers in the numer.
