Killed by Train 76 Monday
August Crumway of Culbertson was
struck and killed by fast freight No 76
Monday morning When first noticed
by Engineer I L Eodstrom who was
engineer of the train he was walking
along side the track but shortly before
being struck by the engine he had
stepped onto the track and was walking
in the middle of the track The repeat
ed whistling of the locomotive appeared
to be unnoticed by Crumway who was
terribly mangled by the engine and
train of freight cars which passed over
him The accident occurred justa short
distance west of the Culbertson whist
ling post Crumway was evidently go
ing fishing The fact that he paid no
attention to the whistling would indi
cate that h6 was very hard of hearing

IRVING AND MONTAGUE
One of Their Practical Jokes That
Scared Their Friends
lu Scotts The Drama of Yesterday
and Today the author tells of n prac
tical joke played by Henry Irving and
Harry Montague upon a number of
thilr friends and In Its execution was
seen the first dawning glimmer of that
tragic force that was ultimately to Oud
expression In Hoods Dream of Eugene
Aram and The Bells Irving and
Montague hitherto the best allies be
gan to quarrel on their way to a picnic
and their friends feared some tragic
consequences After luncheon both of
the men disappeared
Smales face turned deadly pale He
felt that his worst fears were being
realized With one wild cry Theyre
gone what on earth has become of
them he made a dash down the Dar
gle over the rocks and bowlders with
the remainder of the picnic party at his
heels
At the bottom of a dreadful hollow
behind the little wood a fearful sight
presented itself to the astonished
friends There on a stone sat Henry
Irving in his shirt sleeves his long hair
matted over his eyes his thin bauds
und white face all smeared with blood
and dangling an open clasp knife
He was muttering to himself In a
savage tone Ive done It Ive done it
I said I would I said I would
Tom Smale in an agong of fear
rushed up to Irving who waved him
on one side with threatening gestures
For Gods sake man screamed the
distracted Smale tell us where he is
Irving scarcely moving a muscle
pointed to a heap of dead leaves and
in sepulchral tones cried Hes there
there Ive done for him Ive mur
dered him
Smale literally bounded to the heap
and began flinging aside the leaves iu
every direction Presently he found
the body of Harry Montague lying face
downward Almost paralyzed with
fear Smale just managed to turn the
head around and found Montague con
vulsed with laughter with a pocket
handkerchief in his mouth to prevent
an explosion Never was better acting
seen on any stage
FOODS OF ITALY
Specialties of the Friggitrici In Naples
and Genoa
Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev
erywhere in Italj Peeled and boiled
in a reddish broth seasoned with lau
rel leaves and caraway seeds the nuts
are palatable About two dozen of the
large kernels are sold for a penny In
both Genoa and Naples the friggitrici
are interesting and some of their spe
cialties are well worth a trial if one
can forget the unappetizing appear
ance of cooks and cooking appliances
One friggitrice attracts attention to a
tray of golden balls which she piles in
a pyramid The golden balls are arti
chokes They are boiled in salted wa
ter until tender and are put in a pan
over steam to keep them hot until a
customer appears For threepence the
vender will take one from the steam
ing pan dry it dip it into batter and
pop it iuto the hot oil A moment
later a golden brown ball delicious
and crispy on the outside and tender
and succulent on the inside is handed
to the purchaser The frying is man
aged in such a way that when the
fritters are taken from the kettle they
are very hot but so dry on the outside
that they scarcely soil the Gngers when
eaten from the hand Another frig
gitrice specialty is that of cheese balls
They are made of paste filled with
grated cheese and fried Mashed chest
nuts rice chopped chicken and many
vegetables are used to vary the Gllings
for the popular fritos Some of the
frying kettles are portable and the
friggitrici have regular routes like the
milkmen where they tap at the base
ment door get their orders take their
tiny bellows and blow up the char
coal until it glows and then cook the
breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes
or artichokes which are sent in hot

Solenodons
Only two species of that singular in
sectivorous mammal the solenodon
are known one inhabiting Haiti and
the other Cuba They differ chiefly in
the color and quality of their fur
Solenodons are quaint looking animals
rather larger than rats with long flexi
ble snouts and naked tails They are
nocturnal and obtain their food by
digging in the soft ground for insects
etc with their snouts Their brain
capacity is small and they are said to
have the curious habit when hunted
by dogs of hiding their heads in the
nearest holes and leaving their bodies
exposed

Chivalrous Chicago
In Chicago more than iu any other
place is woman regarded in the light
of a thing of beauty and a joy forever
There is hardly a man in Chicago who
does not esteem feminine loveliness as
something beyond price something to

if necessary to die for Chicago Inter
