whlch will prevent nis uuinn any
rork for some little time. At the time
of the accident, Mr. Grecian was wnrk
Itkg home from work and passed over

fcras walking rapidly, as there was a
train coming: up behind him nnd he did
not wUn to be caught upon the trestle
With It
Suddenly In front of him he saw a
headlight, -which he thought was on an
engine coming toward him. He thought
there would be a collision nnd jumped
to one side. He Jumped a little too far,
however.and losing his balance was pre
cipitated over the trestle, which fortu
nately did not prove to be very high
at this point, the distance he fell being
about sixteen feet. He was carried to
Ms home by some companions who
found him, and it was found that Cree
gan had sustained a fractured collar
bone. ,
The headlight which Mr. Creegan
thought was on the approaching en
gine, proved to be upon the rear of a
(usher, so there was no collision.

Louis Chaffee Is a young man of a
great deal of artistic talent, naturali,
nnd hns given vent to his passion In
that line for years by doing sketching
and crayon work, though never having
been afforded the privilege of cultivat
ing tho gift under the training of a
teacher. His products, however, show
that he has marked ability In that di
rection. . One of his latest efforts Is a
free-hand crayon of the late Mrs. J. II. '
Ackerson, which Is said to be remark
able In Its fidelity to the original. With
a course of training under a competent
artist, his talent might be developed far
beyond the average limit.

The ups and downs of the life of rail
road men were fully exemplified by the
great railroad strike which was in full
force two years ago this present month.,
During that stormy period help suffi
cient, to run a trnln was as scarce as
Democrats at the late election. If suffi
cient men could be gotten together to
start a train, the chances were that
they would abandon It before It left the
yard. Fresh deserters were greeted
with yells of approval wrn (hey
climbed down from their trains and
Joined the mobs of strikers, nnd It re
quired tho stauncliest hardihood to
withstand the storm of jeers and brick
bats that were hurled after those who
stuck to their post. Anybody who was
willing to work could get a Job, ond
they could have almost any position
they might ask for, outside of a salaried
office In the company. V.'hon the thing
was finally settled and the company
commented reinstating the men, appli
cations were considered In the order in
which they were received. The conse
quence was that men who had been
with the company for perhaps only a
month or two were given nn engine, or
a conductorshlp. while some of the old
men who had long punched tickets or
handled the throttle were compelled to
twist a brake wheel. Many a weary
day since have they sighed as they
thought of hOw much they lost and how
little they gained In that memorable
contest.

have dragged the gun after him,
though tho line of the shot shows that
the breech must have been elevated
to a height sufficient to bring the gun
Into a horizontal position, and directly
In line with his heart. Suicide Is quite
strongly hinted at, and some of the clr
cumstancts connected with the case
are hard to reconcile with any other
thory.. His friends say that he has
acted strangely of late.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pats
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it Is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mnture before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Wishburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brunds.
