Thrilling Tale of a Broken Throttle on
Erie Road

Thrilling Tale of Broken Throttle ON
Erie Road
Railroad men have been reading or
the new Buck external throttle invented
by W. T. Buck superintendent of mo-
tive power Of -he Santa Fe. Below is
an accident that probably could have
been prevented if the Buck throttle was
in use. When the engineer. says
the report leased up on the throttle
preparatory to stepping at the station,
the engine, with its SIX heavily laden
passenger cars, rushed on with incraas-
ing speed. He closed the throttle, but
there was no response. With his en-
CINE running away with the train
there was but one chance-the ener-
gency brakes He damned on the air
and the train was brought to a stop
instant the engines brakes gripped the
wheels. Then with a roar, the engine
shook and heaved and the wheels re-
volved as though the locomotive was
travelling 80 miles an hour. Showers
of sparks few into the air, but the
steam valves were thrown wide open,
and to prevent the fire from generating
steam faster than 1t could be blown off,
several pals of water were thrown on
it. Soon the engine spent its power,
and the wheels slowed down. Investi-
cation showed that the throttle had
broken inside the boiler. It was fort
innate that the airbrakes held, for the
engine would have Jared the throttle
wide open and the train would never
have made the sharp curves within the
city limits without disaster" As fit
ting accompaniment to this thrilling
drama ono can fairly hear the engineer
shouting: a notch. another notch, my
family pass for a middle notch IN the

WHEN 1T ARRIVES.
MANCHUS LOSE 4ANKOW BATTLE
Capitals Only Hope Is in Minister Of
Wars 10000 Men.-Feared This
Official Will Do No More
Than Issue procIamations.

Pelzin, Oct. 21.-1t is apparent here
that the imperial government knew
the result of the battle at Hankow
between it's forces and the rebels more
than "a hours before it became public,
but the first positive account of the
defeat of the imperial troops was de-
livered to the foreign legations by the
Associated Press. 1t caused a pro-
found impression.
This success Of the revolution has
been considered here to hinge upon
the result of the first encounter, as it's
moral effect would be far reaching.
When the fugitive imperialists report
to the main army, now mobilizing
near Sin-Yang-Show, knowledge of
the repulse, it is believed, utterly will
demoralize the troops, while as the
news travels along the Yang Use river
it probably will cause important adj
hesions to the rebel cause.
The foreign legations here believe
that news from Hankow and Yun-Nan
will mean that the provinces south OF
the Yang Use and also some on the
north side of the river, sooner or latel
will secede.
Foreign students of China think
the northern provinces may rally
around the Manchus. Everything, how
ever, seems to depend on an imme
date and successful advance by Min
lister of War Yin Tchang, who now
commands 10000 men within 100
miles of Hankow; but only the foreign
ministry pretend to enjoy confidence
in his promised attack.

Control of the Judges, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, was but half-although by far
the more important part-of problem
which should be carried out for proper
conservation of manhood, womanhood
and childhood. The first half of the
problem, he said, consisted in placing
upon the statute book of nation and
states, legislation to remedy existing
defects.
Mr. Roosevelt advocated enactment
by congress Of the bill providing for

bureau, to gather, classify and dis
tribute accurate information on all
subjects relative to the welfare Of chill,

Miller & Jordan, of this city, are the
owners Of the land that made this
splendid yield. 1t is thirty-eight miles
north of Glendive. It would be hardly
proper to call this "dry farming in
the ordinary acceptation of the term,
for no "sol mulching," particularly
"deep blowing" or other essentials OF
the Campbell system were utilized In
