WRECK AT MOLEEN

Extra westbound No. 1922
plowed 4 hole in the ground that
very nearly buried the engine
when she ran into a section of
track at Moleen. about ten miles
east of Carlin where the tracks had
been removed for the purpose of
repairs.
a gang of men we're at work at
Moleen tearing out the track and
substituting heavier steel and were
at work between the two switches
at that point. They had torn out
both rails of one section of track
and were protecting against all
westbound trains with a fiagman,
When the dinner hour arrived
they had not relaid the steel when
they knocked off work TO eat. The
fiagman, not relishing the idea of
standing out there while his
companions enjoyed a hearty meal,
lie # his post and went to II {
boarding car TO get his share.
While he was enjoying his meal to
the fullest extent, extra we: l.
bound No. 1922 hove in sight
running at the rate Of % miles an
hour, and the crew was not aware
of the danger until they were
with win a few yard of the missing
section of track. AS SOC as they
realized the danger both enginee r
and fireman jumped, the latter
being slightly injured. The engine
plowed into the earth almost
burying the engine to her cab
rails. Considerable damage was
done to the engine.
Owing to the fortunate fact tia;
the wreck occurred betwecen two
switches. traffic was not delayed,
as all trains ran around the wreck.

LIGHT THAT BURNS FIVE YEARS

The adoption by the Government
of acetone gas acetylene dissolved
in acetone for use of Lighthouses
beacons, lightships and light buoys.
will soon revolutionize the whole
system of coast lighting in this
country, and the light house
keeper and buoy tender will bc
forced to find new vocations.
Acetylene in its various forms
is the only commodity yet produced
that will give a light next in power
to that Of the sun. BY its use
inventions have been perfected to
produce lights for a continuous
period of one to five years or more,
according to the amount of fuel
installed. The most wonderful
light in the world and now in use
by the United States Government
is the one invented by Delan, the
Swedish scientist. 1t is produced
by acetone gas and has a human
working" sun intrument containing
a glass tube of several rods of
varying reflective powers which
automatically opens and closes the
valve in accordance with the light
absorbed. In other words the light
burns continuously until affected
by the heat Of the sun, when it
goes out, only to be revived at
dawn. 1t also contains a flashing
apparatus in the lantern. William

MOAB'S ISOLATION COMPLETE

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with a
visit to that restricted part west
of Jordan. The mountainous
regions of Moab as seen by them
from Jerusalem are lost in the
purple haze that constantly
hangs over them and the great
stretches beyond are covered in
mystery. This is true partly
because of 1.-THE fewer historical
incidents connected with tn c
eastern regions, but mainly on &C.
count of the great abyss of the
Jordan Valley that has always
acted as a barrier. Few who
descend into the valley 1900 feet
below sea level undertake to climb
the hills beyond, which rise to Il
height of 5000 feet.
The most striking thing about
Moab has always been it's isolation.
However much connected by race
and vicinity with their western
kinsmen the jewellers in eastern
Palestine have always been distinct,
and their lands have never been
occupied by the nations on the west
except through acts of aggression
and conquest.
Even today this isolation is still
felt. In giving an idea of their
knowledge ,of prcsent-day
geography one of them remarked:
There r only four seas in the
world two Of which arc the Dead
sea and the Sea of Galilee." Both of
these are in sight of their own
hills. -Christian Herald.

JOHN M'COMB WINS

At the recent election, there
Gere three candidates for constable
of Wells township, the principal
fight being between j. Wiseman,
republican, and John McComb
democrat. When the ballots were
counted, McComb had a majority
of two over Wiseman.
Wiseman brought a suit to contest
the election OF McComb on the
statutory ground of misconduct of
the election officers in permitting
certain transferred electors to vote.
The case came up for trial thi s
morning and McComb's attorney
objected to the instroducton of any
evidence attacking the legality of
the transfers. The objection was
argued by the attorneys and Judge
Brown took the matter under
Amusement until 1:30 O'Clock. this
afternoon.
When court reconvened, he
rendered his decision, in which he
held that if an electors name was
on the check list certified by the
registry agent the election officers
were not guilty of misconduct in
receiving and counting his vote.
AS the decision prevented the
introduction of any evidence
touching the legality of the
transfers, Wlseman's case fell to
the ground and McComb was given
judgement.

bank. belonging to one of the
sheriff's children. The bank was
missed by Mrs. Clark Friday night,
but she said nothing about it until
Saturday morning. She then spoke
Of it andth wayward girl declared
the bank was in its usual place
Friday night. This Mrs. Clark
knew to be false and the girl was
questioned about the banks
disappearance. She denied any
knowledge of it and Sheriff Clark
took her to the woman's ward in
the Jail ana locked her up. After
several hours, she confessed to
taking the bank, breaking it open
and spendingimost of the S35 or $40
1t contained. She showed Sheriff
Clark where she had buried a few
dollars and this money was
recovered.
After the child's arrest for open-
ing the banks pc stoffice box, John
Henderson, president of the bank, in
terviwed her and tried to learn from
her the number Of checks she had
taken and what she had done with
them, She would admit taking
four or five and the most of these
she said she had burned. Mr.. Hen
derson knew lat the time that she
had taken a large number of
checks, amounting to $4,000 or
Sc, 900, but she stuck to her story
and strenuously denied taking more
than four or five.
Early in November the matter
was investigated by the postal
authorities and, on account of the
youth of the child, the govern
ment authorities refused to
prosecute her. Since then the
matter has been allowed to rest.
1t is probable that she would have
been given her liberty in a few
weeks had she not committed this
last oifense.
We have studiously avoided
this girls name, for while
she seems to be an incorrigible
thief, there is a chance for her to
become a useful and respected
member of society. Her case is a
sad one.

Spencer. each in charge Of a
train OF freight wagons, were
headed for Missouri river to bring
supplies back to Colorado points.
The Indians were very troublesome
in those days, and these two
outfits always camped together
for protection. One night they
had arranged the camp. with the
wagons forming a circle, and
everybody but the guards was to
be inside. Wainwright preferred
to sleep in a clump of cotton woods
about a quarter of a mile off, and
there he fixed himself with his
negro servant as a bodyguard.
Neither the camp nor Wainwright
was disturbed during the night,
but early the next morning while
Wainwright was sitting on the
ground with his back to a tree
drinking his tin of coffee an arrow
from an unseen foe entered his
neck at the right of the juglar vein
and was driven with such force as
to impale the victim to the tree.
The negro, believing his master
was killed, ran to Spencer's camp
and gave the alarm. Spencer and
some of This men rushed over to
Wainwright. Instead of being
dead Wainwright was not even
injured. Spencer cut the arrow
off close to the point of entrance
and then gently drew Wainwright's
head forward unit he was released.
The victim uttered but little
Inconvenience from the wound, and
by the time the trip was completed
it was entirely healed.-LOs
