throttle was the verdict of the in
vestigating committee that delved
into the cause of the wreck at Shell
don when the business car of Sup
erintendent d. w. Kelly was knock
ed from the rails by an Omaha
freight several days ago.
The investigation disclosed that
the engineer of the Omaha train had
been i'll for some time and had In
sisted on going back to work,
against the doctors orders, in order
TO earn some money for Christmas.
Medicine prescribed by his ply
sician was shown to contain purpose
ly drug to induce sleep. The en-
gineer had taken liberal doses, and
unable to overcome his drowsiness,
had gone fast asleep and had dis
regarded the stop signal at the eros
sing. A green fireman not accus-
toned to the road did not know of
the approach to the crossing and
failed TO notice the condition of the
engineer.

THE COVERED WAGON

Ernest Terrence, who plays Bill Jackson, the scout, in "The Covered wagon" does not believe that educa tion is greatly desired by, or of any particular use to the American In dian. In support of his belief he cites an incident that occurred while this picture was being made on the Meek ranch in southern Utah.
 MT. Terrence was standing behind a young Indian whose blanket had slipped down around his hips, dis closing book
 Torrence found it to be Balzae novel, in French. Amazed, he said to the smiling Indian:
 ''You read French?'
 "Oh, yes," was the polite reply. T always prefer Balzac and some of the other French writers in the original. One loses so much in a translation, don't you think?f
 But Terrence. utterly unable to think, staggered back to that section of the camp occupied by the Hitter ated white men. An inquiry directed to one of the interpreters disclosed the fact that more than 100 of the Indians in Camp Cruze were Carlisle graduates who had quit culture and returned to their tribes.
 The production comes to the Jef- ferson theatre next Monday night for a weeks engagement with daily matinees beginning Tuesday.
