paa.eng.r Train with Freight.

A rear-end collision between pas.
senger train No. 6 and an eastbound
freight Train occurred at Jackson sid.
ing, near Lucin. on the Southern Pa.
cific early Sunday morning. The

said was running about thirty miles
an hour.
An Eastern horse buyer named
Likely. who was asleep in the caboose,
was instantly killed. The caboose
cacsht lire and burned up. The mans
body was recovered though with great
difficulty. The car ahead of the ca.
boose was loaded with horses and all
were killed. The conductor and rear
brakeman were not in the caboose
when the collision occurred, or both
would doubtless have been killed.
The engineer of the passenger train
escaped injury. but the fireman had
shoulder broken.
A board of inquiry is making an In
vestigation to fix the responsibility
for the collision. The engineer, 1t is
said, claims he did not see the freight
train or signals on account of the
heavy fog.

to her parents and they invited him TO
call again. He went several times in
the next two weeks. He led the family
to believe. the police say. that he was
the son Of wealthy parents. Marie be-
came infatuated with him.
Money began to be missed from the

Her story is that on December Is.

in her neighborhood. Neapolitana drew
her into a doorway. He told her they
were going together, and placed re-
volver al her heart to show he was
not joking. First, however. he told
her she must go home and get all the
money and jewelry she could. If she
failed to return he would kill her on
sight.
When she returned to Neopolitano,
Miss Klein said, he took her aboard a
car. keeping the revolver in his pocket
pressed against her side. He finally
placed her in house in Williams

A Hard Creditor

Many a Southern darky's mind is
stored with bits of philosophy that
are frequently as true as they are
quaint. Here is an instance:
"One wintry day." says a Wash
ington man, II met a n old darby In
rags plodding along. The COO wind
beat through the many holes in his
tattered garments. Yet despite his
evident poverty he was carrying a
whole side of bacon on his shoulder.
"'Uncle.' ] asked, why didn't you
spend your money on a warm coat
instead of on all that bacon.?'
WELL, subj said the old man,
gravely, when l asks my back for
credit | gets it, Then, patting his
stomach. he added:
"'But dis heah, sub, dis heah al
ways calls for cash."
