> y mistake ; and then to fill his cup of woe

lome to her little litter and died. There is
) right , red blood in the doctor's optics , and
le has cause.
Misfortunes have a habit of coming not
singly but in troops which is somewhat dis-
miting to the average man. Switchmen Ed.
Drain is the last victim. Monday evening ,
vhile engaged in coupling two freight cars
lis arm was broken below the elbow , and be
side he received a quite painful head wound.
The couplings , it seems , were of different
sizes , and one of them slipped over the other
catching the switchman with the above re-
ated unfortunate effect.
An accident , very fortunate in its results ,
mppened to No. 2 early Sunday morning
tear Indianola. A rail broke and four rear
'ullmans were thrown from the track and
urned over a number of times to the outside
of the right-of-way. It seems to be well
ligh miraculous , but only one passenger ,
Mr. L. P. Eldridge , teller of the state nation
al bank of Denver , was injured , and his in-
ury is a broken arm. The track was badly
demoralized for about 200 feet. The wreck-
ng train , Supt. Campbell and other division
officials were on the scene within a short
ime and traflic was delayed but a few hours.
Certainly one of the luckiest mishaps that
ms ever occurred on the western division.
The train was in charge of Conductor Gran
ger , with Engineer Sharkey at the throttle.
Last Tuesday , Jim Swearenger engineer of
he switch engine , laid elf for the purpose
of capturing wild beasts enough to start a
circus and menagerie. It seems that he l > ad
declared war against the prairie dogs over
outh of the tracks so accordingly he made
arrangements for the use of the street sprink-
er , and with plenty of ammunition ( water ) he
started for the scene of action and at once
opened fire on the enemy. After several
lours of fierce fighting an invoice was taken
of the battle field which showed that Jim had
captured six prisoners , without any loss him
self. The animals will be on exhibition in a
few days. During the fray standing room
on the tops of cars was at a premium , as all
of the boys were very anxious to see Jim come
out victorious. Wild cats are the next thing
on the program , and maybe by next week we
vill be able to give our readers a few point
ers. Red Cloud Chief.
