Train Kills John Nef.

John Neff, a section hand on the
O-W. R, & N. Co. railroad at Castle
Rock, was killed this morning by
train No 10 and was brought here
until an inquest can be held.
Our information is that Neff was on
a speeder travelling ahead of the train
and 1t is supposed that he did not
hear the train, which could not be
placed under control in time to save
him. When the collision came the
speeder with Neff was thrown clear

Without doubt the most singular duel that ever took place in the United States occurred at santa Fe. N. M., many years ago. It occurred several years previous to the first Pacific rail- road and while yet every pound or goods going to the far west had to be hauled across the great plains by freight wagons or sent around Cape Horn by sea.
 Two men in d Rogers X Blair outfit fell in love with the same girl in santa Fc. One was an American named Jack Hines. and the other was full blood ed Mexican. who WIS simply known as Don The girl was half breed. and none Of us outside rhe two rivals thought her worth lighting over.

CURIOUS FIGURING.
It's a Way the Russian Peasant
 Has, and It's an Enigma.
A UNIQUE WAY TO MULTIPLY.

It Is Simplicity Itself and Absolutely
 Accurate. but the Why and Where
 fore of the Method and Its Results Are a Puzzle to Mathematic,ans. This is not a meaningless. freaS twIStrr of a puzzle. But it is puzzle, { IL k the method by which Russian peasants multiply. and as yet the i boa<tpd mental superiority of America
 cannot solve the simple riddle of the Slav.
 Suppose you want to multiply two numbers together. Divide one of the
 nutnbprs by ?. ignoring the frac, rions. Continue the process until the divided column reaches one. Then dou. ble the other number and continue the process until it equals in lines the first column. Then whenever number Is | even in the first column strike 1t out, together with it's corresponding num- Der in the second column. Add the sec uud column. and. 10, the answer. Now. why does 1t do 1t? There seems to be DO reason for it. but what is il! Can you work 1t out:
 II iS iufalIibe. It has never been known to fail. But what principle or mathematics is behind il all: Perhaps if k some queer freak of numbers. some one says. but such things are nOi 10 be turned aside with such generaN- ties. Mathematics is not built upon so .ax a system There iS some rule be- hind it all.
 Take the simple multiple l2 by 10. Obviously the answer is l2O Try It the Russian way Place l2 in the first column and 10 in the second. Divide l2 hy ? and multiply 10 by , and place
 inc respective answers beneath the sums from which they were derived. If will stand 6 and 20. Dividing by 7
 equals s. and multiplying 20 oy equals 40 Continuing, 3 divided by and throwing away all fractions Will be I, while 40 multiplied by ? will be | so Now strike out all the numbers in the first column which are even and with it their parallels in the second column-l2 and 6 will go out, leaving the last two parallel results. Ignoring inc first column and adding the num- l bers in the second, the answer will be the result of 10 and so, or 12O.
 The questions are: Who ever worked it out! How did he start?
 Now try working the problem by put tipc 10 in the first column and SUD iectiug it to the dividing and F to the multiplying. It will result like this: Ten and l2 will become and "A, which will in turn be changed to 7 ano 4S and finally into l and 96. Then, striking ont the numbers 10 and with their corresponding numbers F ana 4S. leaving the second column figures 2l and 9G to be added--this becomes l2O
 There is no escaping it No matter how large the score. 1t comes out right with distressing surety. Take the odn upmhnrS Perhaps there iS some twist in th. scheme that applies to eVeu

 then and 24O: l2 and go out, taking
 with them 20 md 60. Add 15, l2O and l 24u. Answer, 375. Multiply 25 by 10 ac- I cnrding to our methods. Correct-3Io.
