Orin Garrison, a brakeman runn
ing between this city and Sidney,
had a very narrow escape at Jules-
burg Tuesday night where he got
off to do some switching. While
running along the train he stepped
into a culvert which threw him
away from the train instead of
under it, thus saving his life. He
sustained a few bruises but noth
ing serious.
An entire freight train was
shopped for repairs here one uight
the early part of the week. TIhb
unusual occurrence was due to the
iact that an extra from the west
was run in on the ice house track
on both sideB of which arc piled
heaps of refuse ice, making it im
possible to inspect the train.
The train lay here some time.
but was finally moved to another
track, inspected and sent out.

cars iced each season by the Union

be a record breaker. During the
month of January, 12, forty-three
cars were iced requiring 41,000
pounds of ice, while in January,
1901 only twenty-six cars were iced
requiring 17,900 pounds.

SOME OLr OF STYLE
SHOES FOR GIRLS.
There are about three docn nairs in this lot of shoes for
girls.
They arc good, substantial shoes, good leather all through
and honestly made.
The only objection to them is the toe shapes, which are
rather out of style; some are narrow round and some are
square.
But they're all right for every day use the wear is in
them, and we arc olTcring them at a sufficient discount from
regular price that it more than makes up for the lack of late
style.
Sues run from 12 to 2, in C, D and E width. Some button,
some lace. Priced now at
95g a pair.
