A NARROW ESCAPE.
A very serious railroad accident
was narrowly averted last Thursday
The up train had orders to cross the
down freight at Austin juno. 1t is the
orders for the conductors when pass
ing this Junction to register. In the
hurry of changing engines Conductor
Frank Merrill registered but failed to
see If the freight conductor had sign
ed and run up to Bingham station as
he would have done If he had arrived
first, so Mr.. Merrill gave orders to
go ahead.
They went ahead up the grade
about a third of a mile when the en-
gineer Arthur Upper, saw the down
freight coming. The engineer of the
freight had also seen the passenger
train and by lively work on the part
of both the trains were stopped with
only a few feet between.
Nearly all the employees of both
trains have since been discharged or
suspended or have passed in their
designations.
FOREST FIRE THREATENED.
A forest fire which was started by
sparks from Horace Spears Mill at
Hale Siding was prevented by the
rain from proving very disastrous to
the forest section of the country.
Sparks from the smoke stack of the
mill were blown by the strong south
wind into the brush and old tops near
the mill and raging fire was soon
under way.
A call for help was sent along the
telephone lines. 1t was responded to
by Frank Haines and his crew of
drivers who were working at Dead
Water.
Chief Fire Warden Frank Sterling
of Caratunk and Forrest Colby of
Bingham, were making ready to take
COW of men to the scene when the
rain came and by 8 p. m. word came
that the fire was under control
The space burned over was a mile
in length and about forty rods in
width mostly on burned ground and
III cid cuttings, consequently damage
was much less than it would have
been had it got into the standing
timber. The mill will have to cease
running until some safeguard can be
provided.
ALPHEUS BEMIS.
Alpheus Bemis, about 81 years OF
age, died on the 10th inst. at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Walter Taylor
] where he has been tenderly cared for
during a long period of failing health
The remains, accompanied by the
family, were taken to Stratton for
