The coroner's jury met Monday af-
ternoon at the city hall to decide in
what manner Carl Lorentzen met his
death. The engineer and fireman of
both the fast mail and the freight
trains were present as illnesses. They
testified that they saw Mr.. Lorontzen
walking westward on the south track
about one and quarter miles east Of
Arion. The engineer on the fast mail
testified that Mr.. LorentZen turned
around with his face towards the
north, but in order to escape the train
it was necessary for him to turn to
the south, and the fast train on the
south track struck him. The verdict
of the jury was that the accident was
purely accidental and that the Chi
cago e Northwestern Railroad COM
pany was in no manner to blame for
the catastrophe.

Peck does not lecture; he talks
and so he calls it travel talk. And i;
is travel talk that you can under
stand and remember, too. Every i'm
portant item is illustrated by superb
ly colored pictures thrown upon a
screen by powerful stereopticon.
Peck has made a special study OF
the work of the U. S. Life Saving
Service. This is one of the most he
roic of human activities and inter
esting of human studies. Thrill after
thrill flows from the narrative as one
beholds great waves dashed to pieces
against rocky cliffs; sees wave-washed
vessels with sailors in the rigging;
actual rescues by means of the
breeches buoy; shipwrecked sailors
being dragged through the surf nearly
drowned, and many other similar
things common to the work Of the
Government Life Saving Service.

Two Interesting Shippers

The Pacific Coast Steamship company
has severed it's relations with that fam
liar and peculiar navigator, Captain
Janson Whether this fact has any
thing to do with the loss of the Cottage
City, the public will probably not be
informed
Rumors along the Southeastern Alas
ka coast have had it for some weeks
that Capt. "Hog' Thompson's rela-
tions with the Pacific Coast company
had also been severed, but this is de-
MED. It would be distinct loss if the
company should lose both Of those &C.
centric mariners at the same time.
The loss Of the Cottage City while
under the command of Capt. Janson
was the irony of fate. Janson was
