Engineer Wright Baldwin, for
mer Prairie du Sac boy and a neph-
ew of Chas Stoddard of this city, who
on June Is, 1887, pulled the first
train from Los Angeles, Calf into
San Bernardino, Calf, had the honor
recently to pull the first train out OF
the new 100000 depot in that city.
San Bernardino's original depot was
a box car, which served when the
first train arrived September IL, 1888.
A big frame depot was constructed
in 1887.
Prairie du Sac's chautauqua came
to a close on Tuesday evening. AL
though as a whole the programs were
very good, it was not success fl
nancially, so far as local conditions
are concerned. 1t had been hoped
that the season ticket sale would be
sufficiently large to save the sinking
Of $3.50 for the Red Cross. However
not enough interest was taken, and
to the sorrow of the local committee,
of whom number worked hard, the
money laid up in former years went
to the chautauqua system. The sink
ing fund nearly paid the deficit.

While G. A. Huebner was working
at his Oakland car at J. T. Babing-
TOMS farm near Cassell he formed a
short circuit with a tin pail he was
using and two poorly insulated wires.
The gasoline took fire, also the car
and the wall of the Darlington
granary. Mr.. Huebner succeeded in
smothering the fire without help but
his fingers were badly burned, the
car blistered and the granary black
ened. Had the fire gained control
probably all of the Darlington build
ings would have burned.
