There was a tearing and wrenching at
the police station IN Burlington when
three of the prohibited penny-in-the- slot
machines were destroyed by order of
fudge Z. S. Palmer of the city court.
The machines were the property of Sam
and Dan George and George Poulas,
who operate small stores in different
parts of the city. They were seized a
few days ago following warning, issued
from the grand jurors Office that no
such gambling devices would be per-
mitted to run The case was brought
agaiG the machines and as the men
did not appear, they were not fined
The order to destroy the pieces of apar-
atus comprised the punishment. All
three are of the poker hand type. A
curious hing alb )ut those taken is that the
arr angement of the cards made large
uumber of the most profitable hands i'm =
possible to get For instance royal
flush could not be obtained in any suit
but spades and it was almost impossible
to get four of kind. The value of the
machine was placed by the owners as
$3.50 in one case and $25 in the other
two;

The accident was caused by mis-
take in the running orders but the re-
sponsibility has not been placed as an
investigation is now in progress.
Ex- 752, consisting of an engine and
caboose, il charge of Conductor Gillian
ders and Engineer Emery, had helped
Train SO up the grade and had cut loose
at Summit and were speeding along at
a 40 mile gait when they struck Train
"a, in charge of Conductor Turgeon
and Engineer Bonneau, going in the
opposite direction at 25 miles an hour.
| That more serious accident was averted
is due to it having been a straight
stretch of track and the vigilance of
Engineer Eccles of Train 93, who heard
the crash ,,and saw the caboose of the
extra rear up in the air. He supposed
the ,engine of the extra had blown up
and applying the air he brought his own
train to a stop but few lengths away
from the wreck. Conductor Fletcher,
of Train SO Immediately haste ned to
Summit and notified Island Pond, where
a special car, carrying Drs. Sargent and
Ellie, was rushed to the rescue.
After 40 minutes of desperate dig.
ging, the body of Fireman Simmons of
the extra, was brought forth, but life
was extinct, and had been burnt to
death before rescued. Engineer Emery
was caught between the boiler and the
cab but was quickly released. Brake.
man Bellefuille, who succumbed from
his injuries Monday, was riding in the
monitor of the caboose of the extra with
immigration Officer Allen and both
were hurled to the floor of the caboose
among coupling-pins and misceIleanou
litter of iron and heavy objects, the
stove had also been wrenched loose.
Striking against one of these is what
probably caused Bellefuille's fatal in
juries.
Engineer Bonneau, Fireman Smith
and Brakeman Castonguay of Train "a
all jumped and escaped injury.
The engines we've badly damaged and
it was several hours before the track
was cleared up sufficient to resume traffic.
Iraihs 3 and 2 had to trans-ship at the
wreck.

WILL OPEN THE GRAND.
"Officer &c.," Now Playing the
Broadway Theatre, Denver, Here
Next Thursday.

SAe AhuA Saoy.
That splendid melodramatic farce.
Officer o6o,' play that has abb
sorbed the attention and attracted
crowded houses to Cohan & Harris
theatres both in New York and
Chicago for the past year, will be
presented for the first time in this
city at the Grand opera house next
Tuesday night, September 10.
The story of "Ofhcer GOO" is all
about gentlemanly burglar who is
a student of art as well. His par
ticular hobby is old paintings. When
the play opens he. is found to be
negotiating one of his famous coups
and has chosen as his base of oper-
ations the home of Travors Glad
win, rich New Yorker absent on a
tour OF the world. Returning unex-
pectedly. the young millionaire dis
covers that the picture expert" has
been masquerading as the owner of
his home in upper Fifth avenue, and
he is about to make his getaway"
with a particularly valuable lot of
art objects as part of his impedi-
ments. 1t is around those incidents
that Augustin Mac Hugh has woven
his play. which is said to be. filled
with dramatic surprises and clean
fun that is partic ularly appealing to
Americans OF the present day
"Offcer 600" is an original play.
and its success is all the more graft
flying because of the fact that it is
purely American from start TO finish.
