came very near causing the tesss-
porary separation of bridal couplx
last Thursday evening. After tn
wedding supper served at the Par-
lor Cafe, Mr.. and Mrs. Zehm, t}x
bride and groom, spent the evenimy
until train time at the home of Nix
and Mrs. N. S. Murphy, who E~
in the south part of town.
1t was supposed that if they Let
the house when they heard No {
coming that they would have amrs
time to get to the depot. as it gefs-
orally has to remain there Is
minutes, but this time it was quite
late and did not remain as long n
usual. The bridal party and s
number of their friends hurried ID
the depot and got there just as TIN
train was getting ready to pull osaas
but the conductor seeing ther4
coming held the train and Mna-
Zehm got on while her husband
went to purchase the tickets. The
conductor did not know this anE
gave the high ball and the traiA
started and Mr.. Zehm came out 6

TAKES AN
ICY PLUNGE

Fireman A. P. Owings had =
very narrow escape from drownnx
last Sunday afternoon while Ska
ing on the river.
The cold weather froze the river
over just enough so that it would
carry man and quite few were
ENJOYING the sport. A number tf
the boys were having race dowx
the river in which Owings pasti-
c!pated. While he was going hSs
fastest his skate caught in weed
that was frozen in the ice and trip
ped him up and on account of the
great speed he was going it turned
him over and he landed right one
his head and broke thru into Hhe
icy water head first.
He came up under the ice but h
was thin enough so that he brok3
thru it easily and was able to ax-
tain himself until assistance came
from his companions who secured
rope from one of the boat houses
and pulled him out.
In falling on his face the jagss;s
edges of the ice cut him Y
terribly. His lower lip was split
wide open and his nose had all the
bark pealed off, while ever each eye
was deep cash. The doctor had
to take seven stitches in his face k
close up the wounds.

RIDES RODS
0FFAST MAIL

The wandering fraternity will
take great chances with their lives
to steal a ride over a division,
many Of them resorting to riding
the rods and even on the trucks Of
the passenger coaches, but this
dangerous practice is generally
carried on when the weather is
favorable.
All records for stealing rides were
eclipsed last Thursday by tramp
who came in on the rods of the
fast mail from Cut Bank. This
would not have been so noteworthy
feat if it had been a balmy day
in June, but when it comes to rid
ing the rods of train that makes
go miles per hour thru snow clad
country in mid-winter and makes
only one stop in 12S miles he ought
to be entitled to an annual pass.
When the train stopped here he
could not get off himself and had
to be assisted by Officers Parent
and Downey who Were at the depot
at the time. He was covered from
head to foot with snow and his
outer clothing was frozen stiff like a
human iceberg. The snow flying
up from the ground had sifted in
his clothes and the heat from his
body melted it and as it thawed it
soaked thru his clothing and froze
on the outside. He was scantily
clad too, and must have been of a
very hardy nature to stand such an
ordeal. How he managed to get
here without freezing to death is a
mystery to all who saw him.
He was taken to the Union saloon
where he was thawed out and his
clothes dried and that same evening
he was as good as new and was on
his way again to Spokane.

remains Of the mail clerk, Gibson.
were burned in the mail car.
Express Messenger Gale, who
makes his home here with G. H.
Ratchye, was reported killed, and
there was great deal of anxiety
felt here because nothing definite
!. could be learned about him, but on
Tuesday morning he came in on
No. 43 and didn't even have a
scratch.
He was sitting on his pony safe
working on his bills when the acci-
dent occurred and the force of the
collision shot this from under him
and he was thrown up against the
wall where he managed to grab a
hold OF something and held on
until it was over. The mail car
ahead of him was completely tele-
scoped and when everything came
to a stop the tender of the engine
was sticking thru the end of his
express car.
There was terrible blizzard
raging at the time that made it all
the more difficult to get aid. Sew
eral of the train crew suffered in
tensely from the cold and were bad
I iy frost bitten in their efforts to get
{ help. Gale had both his ears
frozen. In order to keep from
freezing the passengers and the crew
had to cut up the lankets in the
sleepers and wrap them around
their feet and body.

terday when Coroner hewitt finally re-
jected the theory of murder and gave a
certificate stating that Harris came to his

ternal order. The body was accompanied
