MOTORMAN CONE
AFTER ACCIDENT.
Company Says Creased Rails
Caused 0verturning of
Broadway Car.

Tn overturned car had been
righted and wreckage cleared away
Thursday. but officials OF the street
railway company were unable TO To-
cate I. +. Carter. motorrlan of the
Miami st. car which s.~~ck curve
at Marietta st. and broadway at
high speed Wednesday evening
shortly after s o'clock and over
turned
Othcials of the company and Roy
NJ. Cloutier, conductor Of the over
turned car, stated their belief
Thursday that the tracks had been
creased at the approach Of the curve
which is particularly sharp. causing
the brakes 20 be ineffective.
Joseph Ladd. a special policeman
employed by the railway company,
was the only one on the car besides
the crew. He was injured. but not
seriously The motoiman and con-
ductor escaped uninjured.
r. I. Hardy and L. +. Hollar, Of
fciGls of the company. both made
emphatic denial Of the speeding al
legation Thursday morning.
The crew told me right after the
accident that the air brakes failed
70 work and that the motorman was
applying the hand brakes when the
car hit creased tracks near the turn
and instead OF sleckening speed
gained momentum" said Mr.. Hol-
lar.
Trouble With Tracks.
Eve have had trouble with
creased tracks at that turn for two
nights before the accident" said
Mgr Hardy Thursday morning
Crews have told me that the cars
required extraordinary brake power
before they could be brought under
control at the curve"
Coal oil was used in greasing the
tracks for some distance before the
turn was reached, according 10 the
officials of the company. An exam
inatiOn OF the tracks Thursday morn
ing revealed some evidences of oil
have been applied 10 them.
The wrecked car was righted by n
wrecking crew during the morning
but was not placed back on the rails
1t will have to, be lifted several feet
before il touches the tracks Broad
way cars ran only as far as the turn.
According TO the story of the Off
Gals Of the company the track had
been in good condition when the
crew made a trip over il about an
hour before the accident
Conductors story.
Cloutier's story corroborates that
Of the car company officials.
Il don't know very much about
it" Cloutier told a reporter Thurs
day afternoon. 4 was on the back
end and We had one passenger. l
didn't pay much attention to the
speed but don't think we were going
very fast, as Carter is a careful
motorman and / had TO keep after
him all night 10 keep him on sched-
ule time. He was always behind
time.
Evidently the air brakes didn't
work as / saw Carter spinning the
hand brakes furiously and had TO
laugh. They aid not take hold and
the next thing l knew the car left
the tracks"
do you know where Carter can
be located ."
NO. 1 think he turned in this
morning"

Captures Kalispell Thief

Last Tuesday Sheriff Sawyer cap
tured in Bonners Ferry one, Ray
McNeese, wanted in Kalispell for
the theft of money and papers ia
ken from the safe in the office of
the West hotel. The man was ap-
pretended in a local hotel, taken to
the sheriff's office and searched and
on him were found certain incrimin-
ating papers. He finally admitted
he was the man wanted.
Sheriff Sawyer was notified to
look out for the man by a message
from Sheriff Metcalf of Kalispell,
giving the description of the fellow
and stating that he was supposed
to have left Kalispell on No. 1.
That train had left here before the
sheriff received the wire, but he
made search of the city and soon
located his man. The prisoner was
taken back to Kalispell Tuesday eve
ming by Sheriff Metcalf.

A Pleasing Lecture

Last Thursday evening Mr.. J. C.
Herbsman gave an address before
fair sized audience at the high
school auditorium. His subject was
"Life's Balance Sheet" Those who
heard the lecture were impressed
by the sincerity and winning per
sonality of the speaker who held the
close attention of the audience for
nearly two hours as he touched on
many of the sociological problems of
the day.
The speaker condensed Shakes
peare's seven ages into four and
compared these to the little bird in
the nest.
The first period was the little
bird still in the shell to whom the
world was sound. This he termed
the freshman age. At this stage
he called those freshmen who take
a purpose in life and tried to i'm
press on his hearers the need of
some definite object in order to
accomplish anything worth while.
The second period was the bird
in the nest to whom the world was
sound and made of straw. This was
the age of the gaudy Sophomore.
Under this topic he discussed the
subject Of dress impressing the need
of conservative fashions. He also
brought out the need of more per-
sonal worth and less show.
The next period was the little bird
learning to fly to whom all the
world was green. This was the age
Of the junior. Under this he dis

YOUTH HAS NARROW ESCAPED
School Wagon, Driven by Douglas
Irving. Struck by Freight.

The school wagon, driven by Doug
las Irving, was struck by a Great
Northern freight train last Friday
morning after the load Of children
had been delivered at the school
house and while the wagon was
being taken to the Frank Garris
livery stable. The accident happened
on the crossing opposite the H. l.
Medbury residence. Luckily young
Irving, the only occupant Of the
wagon, escaped with but a few
bruises.
1t is young Irving's custom to
leave his outfit at the livery stable
and return to school. Friday he
failed to see the approaching train,
coming from the east. He was
driving an enclosed rig, from which
it is difficult to see If the windows
are frosted and also hard to hear
due to the noise Of the wagon. The
engine struck in about the middle
of the wagon and tossed the en-
closed top off the right Of way and
partly down the embanlment, leav-
ing it resting on its side. Douglas
extricated himself from the wreck
age with only few bruises, while
the horses broke away and ran
through town to the S. l. track,
where they became entangled in the
timber of the overhead crossing. The
floor of the wagon box was badly
splintered at one end and other
slight damages DONE
The accident undoubtedly would
have resulted much more seriously
|if it had not been that the train
was moving very slowly, merely
Floating" and about to come to a
stop, which it did within a few yards
of the accident. 1t was the freight
known as the supply train.
Had the accident happened whif
the wagon was loaded with children
without question a terrible tragedy
would have been the result. The
wagon is the one that carries the
children living along the Kootena
river

amusement as play grounds for the
young folks.
