was made. Also that the local work
men have been receiving the same
wages for laying eleven tables each 24
hours that those in other factories have
for laying twelve. The men promptly
said they would not do the work, did
not go to work Monday morning and
the whole factory was shut down.

Almost Over a Precipice.
While coming up the Bear creek
grade, alxmt three miles south of Par
ker. last Thursday afternoon, the south
bound passenger train on the P. & W.
aiar iw guaget was derailed by a brok
en rail. The engine and two coaches
left the rails and bumped along the ties,
bouncing the passengers about like gum
balls, and as they looked out of the car
windows and saw Bear creek 1'25 feet
below them the wildest excitement en-
sued. The entwine was stopped just as
it wa.- about to leave the ties.-.nd then it
was discovered that the embankment
had slid down into the creek bed, leav
ing a sheer precipice from the ends of
t'-ie ties. Had the engine gone off then
the whole train would have been pre
cipitated on the rocks far below and if
the engineer had not stuck to his post
when death seemed inevitable, this
would have happened. The landslide
had probably caused the track to sink,
which accounts for the broken rail
The train was tracked again after a
four hour delay. There were alxrat
thirty passengers on the train and some
of them became greatly excited.
