NAN KILLED IN ELk0 YARDS
BELIEVED TO BE A SUICIDE

Alfred Eastgate, which was the
name established for him by various
papers and articles found on his per-
son, was killed on the detour track
between the Southern and Western
Pacific railways in Elko, says the
Elko Free Press. Eastgate's head
a severed cleanly from the body
According to witnesses, the man had
been about Elko for several days. and
acted in q strange manner. During
the day a witness stated hat East
gate had attempted to board a
freight train. He had gotten under
meath the caboose and was trying to
climb onto the rods. but slipped and
his feet were dragging along be-
meath the "a when a brakeman, see
ing his predicament, stopped the
train and made Eastgate crawl from
under the car. Later Eastgate APP
preached one of the witnesses and
asked him if he had a gun, saying
that he wanted to pop Off" From
all the circumstances surrounding the
affair it would seem that the man was
a suicide. The witnesses who testi-
fed at the hearing were: N. p. Nell
son, George Massie, Ira ID. Spencer,
John Furlong. w. McAuley, A. Lille
and w. A. Hoyt.

o. K. PUT ON HARPERS FERRY
PIKE IMPROVEMENT.

District Engineer j. st. Clair Smith,
of Piedmont, has been on an inspec-
ton trip to the county this week.
The chief object of his visit has been
to look over the work being done by
the county in resurfacing the Harpers
Ferry Pike. Earlier inspection trips
to the county had been made by w. c.
Brewster and B. F.. Gray, highway
engineers of the Federal government,
who are seeing after Federal aid road
work in several states. All of the
inspectors were pleased not only with
the progress of the work in Jefferson
county, but with the way it is being
done as well. Work in other coun-
ties of the state has been delayed ow-
ing to a number of causes, inability
to get material being the principal
one. In some coanties where great
quantities of cement are required, al
most no progress has been made in
road work this season while in others
work has been hindered because it
was impossible to obtain crushed stone
where it had to be shipped by rail to
the projects.
Schaeffer's Cross Roads was reached
the first of the week in road making
on the Harpers Ferry pike. The pike
from that point to Halltown was then
closed to travel and work on that por-
tionof it was begun. The pike is now
closed the entire distance from the
intersection of the Keys Ferry road

ACTS ON SENSITIVE NERVES
Scientific Explanation as to Why Blow
on Jaw Is Calculated to Cause
Knockout"

The knockout blow is scientifically
explained as follows: When the low
er jaw is struck on Its point especial
ly with an uppercut, the bony portion
of the ear inside is driven forcibly up
ward into the glenoid cavity of the
skull, above and behind which is sit
uated the delicate labyrinth of the
inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives shock to
the semi-circular canals that is in
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness. nausea and
momentary paralysis.
This explains why sideways blow
on the jaw is more effective as a
knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point of the jaw. For the
shock Of a sideways blow is received
In one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which it is struck,
while the shock of blow in the center
is divided between the cavities on the
two sides.

Oriuln Of Sea Serpent.

Professor Darcy Thompson, during
the course of a recent lecture at the
London Royal institute. said that he
had no doubt that the cuttle-fish was
the strange beast which the ancients
had named the sea serpent. They
must have seen it during one Of Its
playful gambols, and have mistaken
its wedge-shaped tail for the head OF
the serpent, and the end of one of It's
enormously long arms for the tip Of
the serpent's tail.
No story of ogre. giant, or witch
was more strange and terrifying than
the cuttle-fsh or octopus. Neyerthe-
less, the cuttle-fish's "boner had home
ly associations. 1t was used for pet
canaries to pick at, and for lawyers to
clean up parchment. 1t was also used
to polish the doors Of carriages.
