Index Boards Would
 Help a Great Deal

Sam Appelbaum, travelling with Harry Agotf, left McGrath last Mon day cmoroing for Big River, and at the end of the days run he reached-Mc- : Grath, this circuit of Apple mountain being due to the fact that on reaching the forks of the government trail he took the trail-to the left instead of the one to the right. Was Sam mad? We'll, we'll say yes.
 All this may sound funny, but it is no joke. Here is man making hur ried trip to the Outside, one who will have much to do when he reaches the Outside, and who wishes to return over the late winter trail. The loss of day going outemay mean the loss of several other days in making steam boat con nection when reaching the coast.
 The loss of this one day. with it's pos sible consequent eventualiries, could been avoided had some one taken the precaution to put I'D sign board indexlng routes to different points. True, this might have taken several minutes time of some employe of the Road Commission, but it is equally true that sign posts at various points might save trail travellers world of troubles
 It's easy, almost natural, for some men to pick out the right trail, while others have no sense of direction. All in all, where is the man who,-iu mo- ment of indecision, has not taken the s~rong trail?

COMPENSATION IS
STOPPED BY COURTS

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. Is. = Be-
cause of the jugglery by court the
widow and three children of James ].
Houlehan, former Pullman conductor,
will not receive compensation for his
death, which was caused by being
crushed between two street cars
while on his way to work.
The state workmen's compensation
board ruled that he met death in the
course Of his employment, and the
widow was entitled to compensation.
The Pullman company appealed to
the courts, which reversed the ruling
upon the following circumstances:
Houlehan had gone to a room at
North Fifteenth street to put on his
uniform, intending to proceed from
there to Broad street station. The
dressing room had been provided by
the company as convenience, espe.
cially for out-of-town conductors. The
company contended that the use of
the room was voluntary on the part of
Houlehan and the company did not
require him to go there to change his
clothes. If Houlehan put on his uni-
form at his home the company could
not raise that point
