A MOST sORROwFUL ACCIDENT

A deplorable accident took place
Wednesday afternoon at the Mark
Byouk, Sr., home, when Mrs. Byouk
fell while in the cellar of her home
and smothered herself to death in
eight inches of water.
1t seems as though Mrs. Byouk had
gone down cellar for vegetables for
supper and because of the water in
the cellar, had stepped on box and
in so doing had slipped and knocked
herself unconscious, falling in the
water face downward. This took
place some time Wednesday after
noon and when the boys came home
from work. finding the cellar door
ajar, they went down and found their
mother, presumably unconscious, but
when the doctor came he said she
had been dead for some time.
Mrs. Byouk leaves husband. five
sons and two daughters to mourn
the passing of loving wife and
mother. One son was killed in the
mine four years ago this month.
The Pilot extends heartfelt sympa-
thy to the bereaved ons in this most
sudden and sad accident

Where Realization

One of the most delightful expert
ences that | know comes TO me when
ever l leave the city and plunge for
a time into the Wilderness 1t does
not matter how prosaic the transition i;
l may stumble, laden with baggage,
to hot and crowded train, in which
stodgy men are forever bowed over
the sporting page and tired women are
scolding peevish children and scat
tered fragments of their too generous
lunches cover the floor; the train may
snort and fume its tedious way
through leagues of suburban ugliness.
All that does not matter. l can shut
my eyes with the sense of blessed
release, for know that at the end of
the journey there is tranquility, writes
William Chase Greene in the North
American Review. Long before I have
actually reached the hills l can feel
the breath Of the pine forest, 1 can
feel the coolness Of that first dip In
the lake closing about me; already
am standing at the edge of cliff,
watching the cloud shadows on the
distant range.
The peculiar delight of the adven
ture, however, Is that realization al
ways surpasses anticipation. That dip
In the lake is always more deliciously
cool than I had imagined; the still
ness of the mountain side, the broken
chorus of bird notes. the hushed voice
of a hidden waterfall. the whiteness
of the forest flowers. always overcome
me with new surprise. The very
sense of remoteness, though eagerly
expected, seems unexpected.

Jack Welsh, Veteran Railroad Man.
Is Pensioued


Thirty-seven years of continuous
service for the 500 Line railway.
during which time he passed through
number of railroad wrecks with
out receiving a scratch, is the UNIQUE
record of Jack Welsh, of Hurley, who
worked his last shift Friday, April
4, and has been retired on a pension
for the rest of his life. Nothing to
do now but play blackjack" said
Mr.. Welsh, who was engaged in the
game with a neighbor when the
reporter visited him. He declares
however, that rummy is his favorite
game.
Coming TO Ashland from Chicago.
Mr.. Welsh worked there a short time
on the old Lake Shore railroad. His
thirty-seven years of service with
the 500 Line railroad began when he
worked at laying the tracks from
Mellen to Bessemer. He worked at
car repairing for six years and for
twenty-six years held the position of
car repairing foreman. The last
Tour years he has been employed at
watching engines in the round house
at Ironwood.
Mr.. Welsh ranks among the oldest
settlers in Hurley The Windsor
mine was the only one in operation
when he came to this part of the
country, and Hurley was the most
thriving village on the range in
those days.
Mr.. Welsh lives with his wife at
the corner of Copper street and
Fourth avenue, where they moved
after leaving the City hotel, which
they conducted for many years. Mr..
Welsh is now &c years of age.
