JUMPS FROM
MOVING TRAIN
MARRIED THREE HOURS
BODY FOUND IN
CANYON.

John Brown, a bridegroom of
only three hours on Thursday
morning, while enrouted with
his bride to Winchester jumped
from the Grangeville-Lewiston
train while it was crossing the
Lawyers Canyon bridge, one OF
the highest railroad bridges in
the world.
John Brown and Miss Leta
Lovelace, his bride of only three
hours, were married in Grange
vile on Thursday morning and
while enrouted to Winchester he
committed the deed. The best
information that we have been
able to procure is as follows:
Mr.. Brown, it is reported, after
passing through Cottonwood
gave his wife all his money and
other valuable papers and told
her he was going to the smoker
for a short time on the Grange
vile train there is a small smok-
ing compartment, in the smoker
into which he went and from
the window in this compartment
he is supposed to have leaped to
his death. Mr.. Brown is well
known in Vollmer and the bride
supposed that he was taken off
there by friends as a joke and
she did not receive the sad news
until she reached Craig Junction.
The body was found in the
bottom of the canyon by a farm
er who has coyote traps set in
the canyon and was making his
regular trip of inspection over
the trap line. 1t is also stated
that practically every bone in
the unfortunate mans body was
broken.
Jack Warren, a member of the
train crew, stated this morning
that they were not aware of the
accident until their return trir
from Lewiston. 1t is supposed
bv him that the man jumped
about the middle of the bridge
and that the momentum of hi!
body hurled him some shor
distance from the bottom o
the canyon.
No cause can be given for th'
action taken by the bridegroom
of only three hours.

Cottonwood's business circle is 6
success is our best wish.

PAPER DATED 1885.

II. j. Wasem, who resides six
miles southeast of Cottonwood
while tearing down an old house
on the ranch now owned by him
found between the walls of the
building a copy of the Teledo
Weekly Blade, published at Tel
edo, Ohio March 26, 1885. The
paper was addressed to |. A.
Young, who at one time owned
the farm. The paper is in the
best of preservation and besides
being at one time used as med
ium for news, it has also served
the purpose of keeping the ele-
ments from penetrating in the
home for years and certainly has
done its duty as a newspaper.
Anyone wishing to see the copy
may do so by calling at the
Chronicle office.

HAVE YOU
LIQUOR TO SELL?
IF so YOU WILL BE REQUIR.
ED TO REPORT SAME
UNDER u. s. LAW

Preparatory to a strict en-
forcement of the National Pro-

, forcement will be pursued rigor

upon all persons within the stat

visions of the law and reguls

dead and several more were ex-
pected to die and thirteen head
are in bad condition as a result
of forage poisoning at the A. C.

horses would die but he expect
ed to save at least Is head of
those poisoned.

New Talking Glove.

An ingenious glove by means OF
which the blind may converse has
been invented by a physician of An
sonia, Connecticut, who is himself
rapidly becoming blind and deaf. 1t
is a thin glove, with all the letters
of the alphabet upon it, distributed
over digits palm and back. DR.. Ter
ry himself has learned the precise sit
uation of each letter, so that when a
friend spells out a word by touching
the several spots, he can follow by
the feeling. The beauty of DR.. Terry's
invention is that it enables him to
receive communications from persons
who are unacquainted with his sys-
TEN, Any deaf-blind person could
have such a glove made, and, OF
course, 1t does not matter how the let
tiers are arranged upon it, for he
alone needs to know without looking
where they are situated.

MAN OF BUSINESS INSTINCTS
Luckily for Bankers, All Customers
Are Not as ShreWd as This
Individual.

The other day a stranger entered the
Indiana National bank and asked to
borrow So. He was told that the bank
did not lend such small sums
But" he went on, lending money
is your business, isn't it,"
The banker admitted that it was.

the stranger, land want to borrow

Finally the banker, half from ia
tigue and half from amused curiosity,
agreed 20 make the loan. When the
note was all drawn and the interest
of 35 cents paid, the stranger drew
from his pocket $4,000 worth of gov
eminent bonds and handed them over
as security. Before the banker could
express his establishment, the stranger
said:

1t was the old Beth. He could see

sense of loss the more acute.
Tin mighty sarry, Beth" he said,

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING

The passing of the fire horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
of a high-pressure water system in
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
CINE are further steps In the stage of
progress from the romantic days of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front of a procession, or formed
part of the bodyguard of the gallant
old tub as it paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to a high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits of
particular engines. Today the throbs
of a motor-driven engine are taking
the place of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glided beneath their har-
ness, and raced gloriOuSly through the
drizzly, ight-darkened streets before
the fire-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
dependent upon volunteers, and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting in some sort of organ
lied form is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance were
known, according to our first clear evil
dence. in the second century before
Christ. Heron Of Alexandria, 200
years before the Christian era, in an
old manuscript which has escaped de-
struction, described q hydraulic ma
chine used in Egypt during the time
of the Ptolemies 1t was composed of
two brass cylinders resting on wood
en- base with pistons fitted into them
in its principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledge, this was lost in the dark
ages which followed
The Romans had squads OF men
to carry water In "hamae," or light
vases. to the scene of an outbreak
where it was projected onto the IRE
by those In charge of the "siphones
or hand pumps. The precise nature
of this instrument has not been deter
mined, but from specimens found In
excavations it must have been much
like the old-fashioned syringe used by
gardeners. These large organizations
of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. TraJan,
the Roman emperor, and Pliny, at that
time one of his governors, had long
and serious correspondence over the
ACCESSIBILITY of organizing fire depart
ments in the cities under Pliny's Juris-
diction. leading to the conclusion thar
such groups would attain sufficient
strength to be menace to the gov
eminent.
Mention is made of the medieval
use of forcing pumps on fire engines
at Augsburg in 1913. England and
the countries of the continent were
using hand squirts and syringes at
this time. America took her ideas
from the English.
