and Coroner Farrar was notified to
come and hold an inquest. An inves-
tigation disclosed that the dead mans
skull was crushed and he was badly
bruised other places on the head and
and shoulders. From papers found
on the body it is supposed that his
name was A. a. Bratton and that he
had lived at Ponca City, Oklahoma.
He was probably % pears of age,
clean shaver, and comfortably atttir-
ed--had no appearance of the pro-
fefsional tramp. The other man was
evidently year or two older. He was
yet alive but unconscious. Nothing
was found on his person to indicate
who he was or whence he came. In
the examination it developed that
both men ha d been put off of train
No. 9 at Vulcan the night before. The
general opinion seem to be that they
then walked down the track some dis
lance and laid down to sleep, when
they were struck by a passing train.
Some people, however, think the men
were the victims Of foul play. Their
injuries were much the same. The
jury returned a verdict that Bratton
came to his death from injuries to
his head, inflicted by persons unknown
to the jury. The other man did not
die until the following day, but the
Coroner did not deem another in
quest necessary. The authorities have
been unable to learn any particulars
about the unfortunate men. And
probably never will.

BUILDING A LIGHTHOUSE.
Rearing the Bell Rock Tower Was a
Perjlous Piece Of Work..

PeriIous Piece of Work.
Right down to the time of John
Smeaton, who invented the stone tow
er, lighthouses were built of wood. 1t
was Smeaton's success in placing a
stone edifce on the dreaded Eddystone
rocks in the eighteenth century which
really gave a impetus to lighthouse
building, and since then the sea builder
has achieved many notable conquests
in all parts Of the globe.
The next erected was that built by
R. Stevenson on the Bell rock, on the
famous Inch cape reef. Off the coast Of
Scotland. The construction Of this
lighthouse was one long, terrible battle
with the angry sea. The securing Of
the foundations. naturally the most
hazardous part of the whole undertak.
ing, proved exceedingly difficult.
It is recorded that the men worked
with desperation. Only two could re-
main on the rock at a time, but they
stuck there with the tenacity Of leech-
es. the cold waters of the North sen
bearing down every few minutes and
sweeping entirely ove them. When
the first stone was at last swung into
position the men, ragged. chilled and
worn with the awful struggle, chung to
the iron rods which they had erected
upon the reef and cheered madly. like
soldiers just v the ramparts Of an
enemy's fort.
Again and again they were absolute
Iy driven from the rock. When the
tower began to appear well above the
sea terrible storms arose and swamped
the works. On several occasions
blocks weighing as much as two tons
were ruthlessly torn out of their places
and swept into the sea despite dove
tailed joints and portland cement. In
the end the sea builder proved victOri.
GUS. as he always does, but 1t cost four
years. labor and the expenditure of
100000 before the lighthouse stood
