have laughed at any inconsequent

The captain himself welcomed them
as they climbed the swaying ladder.
There were hundred first-class pas

however. still sat at the right and left
OF the captain; but the table was
filed, and they maintained guarded
prattle. Every one at once assumed
that they were n bridal couple. and
watched them with tolerant amuse-
ment. The captain had considerate-

the passengers and the saloon-sitting.

Dead When Found

Lewis Hunter aged 80 years, was
struck by Pennsylvania passenger
train No. 518, due in Mt. Vernon at
1859 o'clock, about one mile west of
Gambler shortly after II o'clock
Thursday morning and was instantly
killed. The body was brought to Mt.
Vernon on the train that struck him
and was taken to the Mccormick es.
tablshment to be prepared for burial.
According to the statements of per-
sons who saw the accident the un-
fortunate man was sitting upon the
end of tie at the side of the track
apparently doing or in deep thought.
The train made only slight noise as
it approached and he did not hear it.
The front of the engine struck him
and hurled him down the embank-
ment at the side of the road-bed. He
was killed instantly. The engine crew
saw him sitting upon the tie but not
until they were very near on account
of curve in the track. An effort was
made to warn him and also to bring
the train to stop but this was i'm
possible and the. accident occurred
while the train was still running at
a rapid rate OF speed.
After the train had been brought to
a stop the crew rushed to Mr.. Hunter
who was lying very still upon the
spot where the engine had hurled him.
A short examination proved that ne
was dead beyond a doubt and that
death had probably occurred instant
ly. He was not cut by the wheels but
several bones in his body were broken
and he was bruised terribly as a re-
suit OF the blow struck him by the en-
gine. After a considerable delay for
the purpose of making sure that he
was not still living and in an effort to
identify him, the unfortunate victim
was placed aboard the tran and
brought to this city
Mr.. Hunter was unmarried and
lived alone with his mother about
half way between Mt. Vernon and
Gambler. The belief is that he had
been to the latter place and, after
starting to walk to his home, sat
down upon the end of the tie TO rest.
He was well known both in Mt. Yer
non and Gambler, and in the section
of the country in which he resided.

PASSENGER
Train Came Near Being
Wrecked On PennSy.
When Hay BaIer Stalled On
Track Near Bangs

Pennsylvania passenger train due
in Mt. Vernon at 1870 pm. had an ex-
ceedingly narrow escape from being
wrecked short distance west of
Bangs on Wednesday afternoon and
had it not been for prompt action on
the part of farmer there might have
been number of lives lost.
The engineer was making good time
with his train west of Bangs, and
just as the train rounded curve, the
engineer saw man frantically wav-
ing his arms. The engineer brought
his train to stop as soon as possible
and there just in front of him, stalled
on the track, was a hay-baler. The
pilot of the engine almost touched the
outfit before the train was stopped.
The machinery was exceedingly
heavy and it was necessary to secure
jacks and raise the wheels from the
track before it could be pushed to one
side so that the tram could proceed.

BILLS
OF The Counterfeit Kind Are
In Circulation

Two counterfeit $40 national bank
notes have made their appearance
and the secret service force of the
government is hot on the trail of the
men who are thus seeking to increase
the volume of paper currency. One
bill is accredited to the First National
Bank of Chicago and the other pur-
ports to have been issued by the Far
mers and Merchants National bank
of Los Angeles CAL The treasury de-
partment, in statement issued to-
day, says:
"The figures in the band and treas
ury numbers are poorly formed and
out of alignment. The lathe work is
very good The back of the bills is
a darker shade of green than the gen.
uine. The paper feels thick and
harsh"
The bills, the secret service offici-
ais say, are formed of two pieces OF
paper, between which silk threads are
distributed. The officials add that "if
better printed these bills would be
very deceptive"
