that fiattened them at a distance OF
ten feet. The bell plunged into the
mud and then righted itself, filled
with slime. The sheet-iron covering to
the steam cupola became unloosened,
the coal fell out in pile into the
water, and the general dilapidation en-
sued.
Workmen went to the scene immedi-
ately and placed long, heavy planks
under the wheels preparatory to the
coming of the wrecking outfit. 1t was
the intention to begin the work of
the engine by strapping rail
to the bottom of the wheels so that
when the engine was back on the track
it might be kept in position. The engine
fell squarely on the side and the net
work of iron bars and pipes under
meath was exposed to view.

BIG LOCOMOTIVE
FALLS INTO SLOUGH
ENGINE OF GRAVEL TRAIN HAS
PECULIAR ACCIDENT IN rIADI-
SON MARSH.
madison JOurn al. J

One of tht big engines OF the North
western line-11O tons of iron, steel
and brass-fell over into the water,
mud and cattails of the marsh Friday
morning, and lies partly submerged, q
dead mass for the wreckers to handle.
With it went the tender and a t1atcar.
In the afternoon the wrecking outfit
and crew, which came from Baraboo,
were set to work to lift the ponderous
weight out of the bog.
The engineer, Edward Kelley, 1211
Spaight street, and fireman, Adolph s.
Merz, 726 Atwood avenue, felt the
engine careening towards the marsh
and jumped through the gangwaY, to
the ground, escaping unhurt.
The accident happened at 7:3O
O'Clock at point short distance west
of the roundhouse. a vast amount of
filing has been done in reclaiming the
marsh land and new tracks have been
laid on the filled portion. The engine
which came to grief has been pulling
the gravel train. 1t is ponderous
locomotive of the Glass r. type, +hav-
ing three drivers on each side. In un-
loading the cars it is necessary to
move the track as near as possible to
the low portion to be filled. lnsuffi-
cient filling hadIbeen placed under this
temporary track and the ground
heaved and sagged under the slightest
weight.
The big engine and fiatcar were run
ming very slowly over this ground when
all at once the crew felt the engine tip
ping over. They had just time enough
to jump out of the gangway before the
engine left the track bodily and tunl-
bled into the water and mud of the
quagmire. The tender went, too, and
! the impact against the water sent a
sudden wave against the thick cattails

A fellow running stand at the
Ringling show grounds in Milwaukee
last Monday took after kid who sWip-
ed bottle of pop and led him back to
the stand to replace it. The fellow was
intent on humiliating the youngster.
The crowd sympathized with the thief.
Some one kicked the man who had the
stand in the mouth and he whined
around concerning "poor police pro-
tection." A circus man who witnessed
it all observed: "That fellow running
the stand is no Snowman. A Snowman
must take the worst of it and smile.
He was not satisfied to let a kid get a
bottle of pop and as result his teeth

was turned over, the doctor falling out
when the buggy went over. His side
was somewhat bruised and he received
