LOOKED LIKE A HOLD-UP
st. Paul Passenger Stopped by Obstruc-
tion Across the Rail.

The northbound C. NJ. & st. 2, train
evidently came near a "hold up"
Thursday near this city, for the train
was stopped in an unusual manner,
with no other ascribed reason. Were
there any bandits, however, they were
evidently frightened away, for there
was no attempt made to go through
the train or come near the engine
cab.
Slightly on this side of Brokaw, the
train rounded a curve at an ordinary
speed, when the engineer was forced
10 throw on the air in order to keep
from colliding with an obstruction
which had been placed across the
tracks. The barrier was made of five
or six loose ties, arranged like an in
surmountable wall across the rail.
The pilot struck the ties, but did little
damage to the locomotive.
Instantly the crew were on the alert
and all made ready to fight off the
marauders- no maurauders came.
After freeing the track, the passenger
made its way into this city slowly,
the crew expecting to find another
obstruction in the course.
1t is evident that robbery was the
motive for the stopping of the train,
and that the intended bandits got
''cold feet" when the crucial moment
came. 1t is probable that they were
hiding in the immediate vicinity of
the ties, which were across the track,
but were afraid TO make move. On
the other hand, the obstruction might
have been placed there by some fiend
in human form who wished to wreck
the train, without regard to the in
jured or dead, which he might occa-
sion. Merrill Herald.

Scratch Terriers
 for Another Game

There was some baseball on the Ju- neau athletic park grounds yesterday afternoon. The Alaska.Gastineau Ter riers and the c. w. Young Tigers fought out one of the most sensation al games that has ever been witnessed score, Tigers r, Terriers 16. Right off the reel the Tigers commenced to scratch-three runs the first and an other in the second, while the Terriers did not get man across in the same period. the huskies came through with four bingles in the third. Reedy lost his voice making clamorous noise. He didn't need the voice long for Carter's Tigers came back with four in their half. Reedy's men got three in the foutrh while Carter's annexed five more. Both teams werfe blanked in the fifth. The Terriers got four in the sixth; the Tigers nothing, making the score II to 13. The fatal seventh gave the miners five more while the merchants again failed to get man across the plate-score Terriers 16, Iii gers 1S.
 Everybody thought that the Terriers had cinch but they failed to score in their half of the eighth while the Iii gers annexed two runs-score 1915. Again the Terriers failed in their half of the ninth. Carter's Tigers went to bat needing one to tie and two to win. Albertson sent the ball out toward the five dollar prize his boss put up and Hurlbutt dropped it. Fireman hit a slow one and was safe, while Albert son went to third Loucks was also safe on a scratch hit Cordiner hit to Bayless and was safe on the error while Albertson came home tieing the score. All the bases were full when Zott stepped up to the pan-the ball was found over near the lighting plant after it came down, but it was too late then. the winning run was in and all the others had turned back and the crowd was going home.
 The score follows:

LEWIS BREAKS WITH
 HEARST, JOINS WILSON

WASHINGTON - Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, has brok- on his political alliance with William Randolph Hearst and cast his for tunes irretriyably with the administra' tion of President Wilson, according to information obtained here. It is eX' pected that the Hearst organs soon will withdraw their support of the new Senator.
 Mir. Lewis will demonstrate his inde pendence of Hearst by voting for the Democratic tariff bill in the Senate. Hearst is strongly opposed to the measure and has embarked on a cam paign of abuse of President Wilson for having sanctioned the scheme or tariff reduction proposed.
 Senator Lewis says he will endeaV- or to have some provisions of the bill changed, but in any event will vote for it's passage. He denies that he has broken with Hearst.
 The attitude of Senator Lewis to- ward the tariff bill and the New York editor was disclosed through the ef' forts of the Democratic opposition to ascertain the exact amount of their strength in the Senate.
 Representatives of sugar and wool interests assumed that Lewis, because of his affiliations with Hearst, could be counted on to line up with Senators from sugar and wood States against the bill. The Senator was sounded but refused to join the opposition.

Coaching Dr. Wilkes

Not for many years has Barney Oregon, the expert lasso over knee bender of the Sierras, con- descended to instruct a novice in the fine art of throwing a rope, but by persuasion was prevail ed upon to coach our most re- spected "Veteninary"D Dr. Wilkes.
 Being fully coached the doctor rode forth, alert and confident of the outcome. A strong lariet on his saddle horn, him astride a well trained animal, he soon found his 'meat". The bunch was far from being wild and vicious and took a human coming among them as a matter of course, but the doctor was impatient, they became startled, what then oc- cured would not happen again in a thousand years. The doctor remembered his coaching, swung his lasso, over the animals head it went, the beast plunged for ward through the moose, the doc tors trained horse swerved back ward. the rope caught on the an imal's hind leg. slipped to the hoof, the velocity of the animal was so great it's hoof was separG- ted from it's body, then the doc tors mount started, the hoof on the end of the rope flew through the air and landed on the doc tors head, that is why a cap 4 sizes too large is a close fit.
 Now he denies it.

INJURIES TO TRESS-
 PASSERS ON RAILROAD

A condition of vital interest tc parents is keeping their children away from railroad tracts,
 Trespassing on railroad prop erty is shown by reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission to be a decidedly dangerous pas time. Over 50 per cent of all the people killed on the railroads of this country, last year, were trespassers, men, women and children who had no business or right on railroad property.
 Every day last year fourteen trespassers were killed-over 5, 900 during the year an apallinq truth. Contrary to a common suspicion, only 10 per cent. of this number were tramps or ho- boes; 70 per cent were reputable people who used railroad proper ty as a thoroughfare. and in spite of warnings given them not to do so, and 20 per cent. WERE CHILDREN UNDER IA YEARS OLD.
 Commenting on this Mr N. L. Howard. superintendent of the C. B. 6 0. railroad at Bur- lington, Iowa, recently published an open letter to parents. in which he said:
 Today, somewhere in this country, two or three little child ren have been killed while play ing around tracks and cars, So it will be tomorrow, and so it averages, day in and day out. through all the year.
 The railroads and their em- ployees are not callous to the sor- row caused in this way; on the contrary, they are doing all they can to avoid these, the saddest of all accidents.
 There is not a trainman or switchmen on our yards who has not time and again admonished children against the danger of Tipping" cars, not one who does not dread the ever present possi biIity of having to lift some bro ken body from under the car wheels. All that we railroad men can do about it, however, is very little; children continue to come every day to our yards to play on the tracks, to hop on the cars, too often to meet with dis aster, because 1t is impossible for us to keep an eye on every one of them or keep them all away. It is bad enough to run over grown-up trespassers, but can not something be done to stop killing children?
 It seems to me something can be done, I feel that the parents of this country should be frankly told about the situation and their interest appealed to in the mat ter of keeping children away from railroad grounds, except when they are legitimately called there.
 I regret that now and then some people get an erroneous understanding that children are driven away from the tracks be- cause they might pick up a few chunks of scattered coal or a few bits of kindling, but 1 do not think that idea is general. We want to save our coal, but much more do we want to save the boys and girls from mutilation and death and to save the par ents from sorrow. For this pur- pose I hope he may obtain the cooperation of parents every where. Unless we get this, and especially unless parents do their duty in this important mat ter, other boys and girls will pay the price of their parents neglect.
