Ths counterfeiting of Undo Sara's money
bld fair to become a lost art In tho near
futuro This In tho prospective result of one
of tho most ingenious plans for criminal
punUhmcnt over devised, a project which
can In all probability bo carried Into exo
cutlon within the next year. This scheme
for checkmating for good and nil tho clover
Imitators who have been forging tho na
tional coin and currency has been In formu
lation for some tlmo past and will assume
definite- ihapo when nt the next session of
congress John E. Wilkle, tho chief of the
United State secret service, asks the na
tional legislature t0 nact an habitual crim
inal law which can be applied to counter
feiters and coiners.
To put It In a nutshell, this now law
will provide fhat'upoh a second convic
tion for tho crime of counterfeiting fire
ysars shall ho added to the sentence Im
posed by the judge. To the Judge's sen
tence Upon n third conviction ten years
will be added and for the fourth conviction
Imprisonment for life will be Imposed. In
tho Under World the ultimate cupturo 6f
the counterfeiter Is regarded as one of
thono certainties, which, In tho tnno of tljt)
avcrago citizen, aro limited to taxes And
death, and but for tho. leniency of Judges
In certain sections of tho country the bus)
new of "shoving tho queer" would have
been brohen up yearn ago. There Is on4
district In which It has been the custom
of tho federal judge1 to let tho averago coun
terfoltur. off with a reprimand, whllo old
offenders have seldom been sentenced to
morn than six month!) In Jail. In some of
the other districts comparatively light fines
have been Imposed mid to u really success
ful counterfeiter this Is, of course, tlio
preferable mode of punishment, for In his
eyes It virtually amounts to a slmplo di
vision of the spalls, and sometimes a very
unequal one, Tho habitual criminal law
will revolutionize thoso conditions, as the
judges will be compelled to Inflict the
designated punishment, whether or not they
desire to.
Sreret Service Worlt.
For all that they havo buun working, us
has been explained, against somewhat heavy
odds, the secret service officers bavo suc
ceeded In recent years In forcing a great
curtailment of counterfeiting operations,
They have done this by quadrupling tho
forces of detectives In the districts where
the Judges have bt-en prouu to show leni
ency and keeping so close a watch on sus
picious persons that offenders can be ar
rested almost Immediately when thoy take
up the manufacture of bogus money. As
an Indication of the passing of tho counter
feiter It may be noted that whereas ft dec
ade ago' the discoveries of tho counter
feits aggregated from twenty-live to forty
every year, but four were discovered. Whllo
the passage of the habitual criminal law
for counterfeiters will not leave the detect
ives of the secret service without an oc
cupation by any means, It will largely limit
the field of their activity, Blnce tho shrewd
est and trickiest criminals will perforce be.
obliged to abandon this, field of activities.
Doubtless this will be sincerely regrotted
by lovers of the picturesque, for there, has
been In American criminal history nothing
more fascinatingly dramatic than somo of
the exploits of the sleuths of tho secret
service In running down countorfolters al
most as quick-witted as thcmsclvoa,
Tho principle 'on which the eccrct service
Is conducted Is that Uncle Sam never grows
weary In the pursuit of a,' person, who has
defrauded him. There was a case several
years ago In which n secret servlqo man
followed a criminal back and forth across
the continent threo times bofore finally ar
resting him, although tho aggregate amount
Involved In the crime was. but (5. Officers
of the secret service make between COO and
1,000 arrests every year; every accomplice
concerned even; In the remotest degree In
a crime bolng apprehended.
A 11 u ii to the Denth.
One thing which contributes very ma
terially to the efficiency of the, secret serv
ice is found In the fact that the operatives
have practically unlimited resources at
their commaud with which to meet any
cxponso which may ho Incurred, State or
Municipal,, Authorities may drop a enso It
they find tbo cxpenso account; mounting up
Into tho thousands of, dollars, but the' secret
service never. Time, toq, from the stand
point of the government detective Is no ob
ject. Tho criminal whom ho has been as
signed to hunt down Is "on his list" until
ho Is apprehended or conclusive ovldcnco
can be furnished of his death. Tho chase Is
likely. In tho majority of Important cases,
to be n long one, for of all branches of
rrlmo tho manufacture of spurious money
enlists tho most ingenious and persistent
criminals.
One nt tho most daring counterfeiting en
terprises In tho history of the country, the
creation of spurious $1,000 government
bonds, Is recalled by tho recent release from
prison of William B. Ilrockwuy, now more
than SO years old, who was tho ringleader In
the scheme, Urockway had four confeder
ates, nil expert counterfeiters. When the
men wero arrested nearly a quarter of a
million dollars In tho counterfeit notes was
found In the valise carried by one of them.

Urockway knew that the secret service men
were far more anxious lo secure the plates
and presses used In producing the counter
feits than to convict the criminals, and he
alorto knew the location of the parapher
nalia used In the production of the imi
tation bonds, so ho proposed to the officials
that he bo released In return for disclos
ing the whereabouts of the plates, and this
was finally ng-ecd to. Nearly two dozen
plates In nil were captured and Drockway
was nover brought to trial for his part In
the attempted swindle.
Tho anxiety of the secret service to se
cure and destroy the utensils used In the
production of counterfeits Is well founded,
since with an outfit of this kind Intact
a counterfeiter can commence operations
Immediately upon his release from prison,
whereas his plant, once destroyed, cannot
bo replaced without months of labor and
considerable exponsc. In the case of
Urockway. the destruction of his plant
did not deter him from further attempts
to defraud. Ho was a truly splendid work
man. He reproduced only notes and bonds
of high denominations and so perfect were
they that It was wellnlgh Impossible for
experts to detect them. Indeed, the se
cret service officials declare that many
of tho plates engraved by Rrockway were
as excellent as those turned out for the
government nt the bureau of printing and
engraving and in a few eases actually
surpassed the government plates In perfec
tion of workmanship.
Of course, a man capable of such work
as this could make a large Income In a
legitimate lino of busltiess, but counter
feiting seems to be ti sort of mania, the
fascination of which those who have once
gone Into It cannot resist. There are
now serving sentences ih prisons In va
rious parts of tho country a number of tho
most skillful engravers In the business,
any one of whom could, on his release,
make an ..excellent living without fear of
the law, yet the detectives who have
made n study of thorn say that It Is mor
ally certain that almost every ono of these
men will go to counterfeiting again the
moment they nrc released.
Wnrlt fur Star Men,
To cope with men of this caliber tho
secret sorvlco requires agents of a high
class of courage and ability. The "star
men" of the service aro known, among
criminal hunters, as "ropers" and to be
successful at roping calls for about as
wide a .rnngo of talent combined with
sheer nerve nnd propensity for hard work
as any other occupation on tho globe.
Tho work of (tho "roper" lb to Ingratlato
himself Into the confidence of the coun
terfeiting gang against which he Is gath
ering ovldence, and actually join them In
thotr unlawful enterprise. Unless the se
cret service, can place somo man on tho
"luhldo" of every case In this manner the
olflclals can never bo absolutely certain
that they have captured th man who has
been actually maklngf the counterfeits, the
most' Important matter next to securing
possession of the paraphernalia.
One of the, most brilliant pieces of "In
side" secret service work which stands to
the credit of the United States officials was
that In connection with what Is known as
the Philadelphia-Lancaster counterfeiting
conspiracy. This gigantic plot to flood the
country with $10,000,000 In counterfeit notes
was evolved by two business men, aided
by two expert engravers, none of them hav
ing any previous criminal history and all
being highly respected In the communities
In which they lived. The combination ap
parently conducted a legitimate engrav
ing business, and even whon suspicion was
dlreot'ed against the men, so excessive were
tho precautions exercised that the "rop
ing" operation could bo conducted but
slowly, and then only with the greatest diffi
culty. The coup which finally enabled the se
cret service men to gain admission to tho
"ralll'V was-one of the. neatest ever do
vlsed; -A .young detective was entailed lo
geO.,chummy. with the office boy employed
by tho counterfeiters, who was not, of
course, aware of the character of the work
going on In the "back room." The service
man learned that the boy wanted to be an
actor and offered to get him a Job. When
the' youngster called at a downtown hotel
as requested ho was taken Into a, room to
try..W a gorgeous pair of tights, While
ho was changing the secret service workers
took the keys from his pockets, quickly
made a copy of the one Yale key on thp
ring and returned the bunch to Its place
before the lad returned to tho room
With tho key thus secured the criminal
huntors made nocturnal explorations of the
engraving establishment and secured the
cvtdcnco which brought tho gang to Justice.

Nebraska Artesian Wells
Tho traveler in easUrri South Dakota
nnd Nebraska Is always duly Impressed
by the powerful flowing wells met with
throughout this magnlflcont area. The con
ditions hero seem to be favorablo for ar
tesian water and wherever the general
level Is (educed by suoh rivers as the
James and the Missouri gushing wells
seem a certainty, It drilled to a detyth
varying from 500 to 1,000 feet or more. The
shales and limestones of the Carboniferous
period form an underlying, Impermeable
stratum throughout this region. Upon
theso thero rests a bed of 300 to 400 feet
of very permeable sand of tho Dakota
cretaceous. These are the finest water
bearing beds of the plains, and they aro
cased iu above, even more cffoctually than
below, by 1,000 to 2,000 feet of water-tight
cretaceous shales (chiefly Pierre) and bad
land clays (ollgocenc). Tho beds are so
tipped that there Is a difference of several
thousand feet betweon the eastern edge,
where the great fountains occur, and the
western edge, or the fountain head.
In tho Hooky mountain uplift, of which
tho Black Hills Is but the most eastern
spur, the western edge Is thrust upward
to an elovatlon of 5,000 to 6,000 feet higher
than the eastern edge. The upturned
odges of all of these beds are exposed
along the eastern flank of the Rocky moun
tains, ready to catch the falling rains,
melting snows and tho mountain streams,
On the lower levels, then, where this
water-bearing cretaceous Is struck, flow
ing wells are so certain that to bore for
water seems like tapping a water main.
'When thore' Is no friction or leakage the
head would be equivalent to that of a
column of water several thousand feet
high. Hence, In spite of mechanical lossos
due to friction, etc., and to the natural
escape of the water through leakage, a
high pressure Is to bo expected and Is
fully realized In the great wells which

AN IMMENSE WORK QUICKLY DONE
A Gllmpae of the Orent Tlnldnln Shop
nt I'lillmlcliililn Various I'ro
c(n from I'lnna to Com
pleted Mnclilne.
Building a locomotive In a day at one
establishment, from the raw material to
the completed engine ready to couple up
to a train of cars, is a feat that few
people, if they stop to think about It, will
regard as being within the possibilities.
Nevertheless, It Is a fact. At the Daldwln
Locomotive works, Philadelphia, 1,200
finished locomotives arc turned out every
year, tncredlblo as this may appear, tho
power of four locomotives Is actually
added every day In the year by this one
company to the sum total of the efficient
motive force of the commercial world. It
Is difficult to reallto how there could pos
sibly be any demand for such an addition,
for locomotives last a long time. It, how
ever, seems to show with what great strides
the Interchange of commodities must be
Increasing.
But how Is It done? This Is the natural
question, relates tho Philadelphia Tlmos.
and hero Is an endeavor to answer It as
briefly as may be, after having had oppor
tunity to go through the works during the
last week In company with Rufus II. San
ford and P. C. Craig, two gentlemen
thoroughly conversant with all the Intri
cacies that enter Into tho construction
of the Iron horse.
It Is needless to state that to accom
plish such a result there must not only
bo a plant perfect In every respect, but
thero must be efficient workmen, Intelli
gent direction and a thorough system.
As a means of acquiring the very best
workmen tho company has adopted the
piecework plan, as by this plan tho men
In doing tho snmo thing over and over
again attain great proficiency as well as
rapidity.
All Mnde to Order,
It Is, perhaps, not generally known that
the Baldwin company builds no special
typo of locomotives. Of course, If a loco
motive Is ordered without specifications
they build one to suit tho purposes for
which it Is needed, but in general they
only build on tho specifications furnished
by the master mechanics of the various
railroads or other Industries that have
uso for them, ond It Is with the object of
correctly carrying out his general pur
pose that all their arrangements are made.
When specifications for a locomotive are
received at tho works they go first to
the general office nnd then to the draft
Ing room, whero tho drawings are made
and whlto prints preparod of all the de
tails for distribution to the various shops
where the different parts nrc manufac
tured. In the drafting room there Is also
kept n set of Index books, which refer to
the drawings, so that In case at any time
a part Is called for the original detail
drawing can at onco bo had and the part
niado.
The system In use which was adopted In
1842 for keeping track of everything, even
down to a bolt, Is very complete. H con
sists In the combination of certain figures
with one of the letters A, B, C, D, E or P.
fhes letter. Inrite.,. th. n.,h.. . A.,...
png wheels; thus a locomotive having one
pair of driving wheels Is classed B, two
pairs C, three pairs D, four pairs E and
five pairs P, the letter A being used" for a
special class of. high-speed locomotlvot,
with a single pair of driving wheels and for
a similar type used for rack-rail service.
The figures 4, , 8, 10 or 12 are used as
Initial figures to Indicate the total number
of wheels under a locomotive. A figure or
figures following tho Initial figure Indicates
the diameter of the cylinder, and a figure
or figures following the class letter
designates the consecutive class number of
the locomotive. Thus 8-26C500 Indicates a
locomotive with eight wheels In all, having
a cylinder sixteen Inches In diameter, with
two pairs of driving wheels and the flvo
hundredth In Its class. There are also
other numbers which Indicate the diameter
of tho high pressure and low pressure cylin
ders of compound locomotives. These num
bers and letters are placed on all the draw
ings and follow all the various parts
through the shops so that It is always
known from start to finish to what locomo
tive every part that Is being made belongs.
As soon as each detail Is completed it Is
sent to the storeroom and when all the
parts for a locomotive have been assembled
there they are sent to- the erecting shop,
wHere they are put together and the loco
motive completed.
MnUliiR Rollers nnd Wheels.
In going into the works the first shop
visited was that devoted to preparing the
sheet Iron sheathing for tho boilers, and(
though this Is one of the last things used'
In erecting a locomotive, .partaking as t
does more of the ornamental thai), the use
ful, It Is difficult In works of the magni
tude of tho Baldwin establishment, where
everything goes on together, to say where
the actual work of making a locomotive
begins. In order, however, to get as near
to what may be regarded as the begin
ning as the conditions will admit of, it
dlschargo large volumes of water and oven
suffice to run mills and machlnory. As an
examplo of the artesian well serving as an
englno of some economic Importance, a
better Instance could not be cited, per
haps, than that of tho well at Niobrara,
in Knox county, Nebraska, which, In ad
dition to the work of pumping water and
running the dynamos for the town, also
drives tho machinery of a 60-foot barrel
flour mill.
The water flows through a slx-lnqh cas
ing Into an unique device called tho "stone
catcher," tho object of which Is to arrest
pebbles, small bowlders, and stones, which
are shot out with sufficient force to dam
age tho steel casing and machinery. One
such pebble, weighing twenty-two and a
half pounds, Is still preserved In Niobrara.
From the stone-catcher the water Is con
ducted to tho mill, where It strikes the
fans of a four-foot Pelton wheel through
a one and one-half inch nozzle.
It works perfectly, steadily, silently and
with no coal or ash to shovel, no engineer
and stoker to pay. And, after first costs
are met It can be depended on for years of
steady service without Involving any ad
ditional outlay. In tho event of fire, the
full energy of the well Is turned at the
first alarm Into tho city mains, and the
linemen with hoso have Instant command
of the situation. '
Modern cities, boasting of the most ap
proved systems, offor no better protection
from fire than does this small western
town, At night the samo water runs the
dynamo and lights of the place besides
filling the public reservoir, all of which
seems like getting a great deal for noth
ing. After the energy of the water s ex
pended on the Pelton wheel It flows through
a wasteway Into a lakelet and thence finds
Its way for three miles by a creditable lit
tle stream to the Niobrara river. A city
DAILY BEE: THURSDAY,
may bo well to depart from the order In
which the shops were visited and take
up the foundry next. This Is a very large
room, a whole square In length, and here
they begin with the raw material. A cu
pola Is situated In a yard Just outside the
shop, Into which the pig Iron Is put with
coal nnd the other Ingredients and the
resultant molten Iron Is run off through
nn orifice, called an eye, which opens Into
the shop, Into large bucketlike ladles.
These are attached to traveling cranes
that convoy them to any part of the shop,
where tho Iron Is poured Into molds that
havo been prepared for It and the call
ings are made. The principal castings
made here, although there are Innumerable
small ones made atso, are cylinders and
castlron driving wheels, the steel driving
wheels being purchased outside, in casting
tho wheels the molten metal Is poured
In at the center, whero the hub Is, and over
this a man stands, constantly stirring the
metal with a rod, this being done because
the metal In runnlnc Into the spokes has
a tendency to draw 'away from and weaken
tho hub; by constantly agitating It at this
point this undesirable result Is voided.
The wheels, after being carefully cleaned,
are taken to the wheel shop, where they
are first prepared for forcing them on the
axles. This Is done by placing them on
rotating tables, where the hubs are faced
and bored out with great accuracy and a
key-way slotted In. The axles which are
being turned and finished at the same' time
have a diameter exceeding that of the hub
by three-thousandths of an Inch to Inch of
axle dlamcteif. When both are ready the
axle, after being coated with a lubricant,
which Is also used In the hub. Is hung be
tween the uprights of the hydraulic press
and first one wheel and then the other
forced on. Tho wheels are then placed In
n 'turning lathe and turned up to receive
the tires, which are made of steel, having
great tensile strength. These are shrunk
on, that Is, they are heated Just enough to
produce a sufficient expansion to allow them
to go on the wheel .easily, and When on
they are subjected to a stream of cold
water which .shrinks and binds thorn upon
the wheel. The crank pins are then In
serted .and the wheels are ready for use.
Conversation Is Prohibited.
The cylinders, like the wheels, are thor
oughly cleaned beforo they leave the foun
dry. They are then taken to the cylinder
finishing shop, which Is provided with a
traveling crane that runs Its whole length,
ana put through the various processes that
complete them.
Now' comes tho boiler shop. Here con
versation Is positively prohibited, not by
any regulation of the company, but for the
reason that It would be useless to attempt
It, as what you said could not be heard. In
making boilers steel plato Is used. It Is
received at the works In various sizes and
thicknesses, some plates being over twenty
feot long; this longth Is necessary to form
the ring for the largo boilers. They are
first mado ready for drilling and punching.
This Is done by placing them on a table
and marking on them in accordance with
the detail plan the places where holes are
to be made. They arc then taken to the
drilling or punching machines by means of
an overhead traveling crane, which Is mado
posslblo by using separate electric motors
to drive the machines, thus relieving the
shops of shafting and belting. The holes
are punched or drilled while the plates are
still flat.
Some of these machines are capr.b'c of
drilling five or more plates at ths same
time. Where this Is done the plates that
are Intended for ths barrel of the boiler,
are conveyed to the bending machines.
These consists threat rolls, operated by
electric motors' so arranged that they can
bo adjusted to bendlngUne plates to any
required diameter, .While this is going on
tho .plates, requiring -flanges are taken to'
the flanging shop, whlah -Js, equipped, with
a hydraulic press-thaw van 'exert a 'maxi
mum pressure of 345 tonsMTbe plates are
here first heatod In a large furnace. They
aro then placed on a' suitable form clamped
to ths lower table of the press, a corre
sponding form.-havlng bean clamped to the
under side of the upper table. The 'lower
table Is then raised byr hydraulic power
and the entire flange made at one heat.
When the flanges are of odd shapes or
there are no dies to form them they are
made by hand.
Department of Brass Work.
The bending and flanging having been
done, the plates are assembled for rivet
ing. This Is done by hydraulic riveters,
which aro practically noiseless. When
this Is finished the boiler Is in several
parts. Theso are now hoisted to the sec
ond floor, whero they are riveted together
and the boiler completed, after which It
Is sent to the erecting shop.
A very Interesting department is that
devoted, to brass work. To this there Is
a foundry attached where the brass is
cast into thp numerous contrivances In
this rhetat that aro used In the i.construc
tlon of a locomotive. These are 'then taken
to the finishing shop and completed by a
forest of machines adapted to the' various
castings: '
The connecting rods are made In a shop
set aside for that purpose. They are' made
of hammered steel nnd tho machines de
voted' to their manufacture aro principally
planers and milling machines. ' The steel
Is purchased outside and finished up In
tho 'shop. This Is also tho cas In Che

rough and then turned up and threaded

might ,bo founded on such, a natural re
source, for It seems assured that every
wheel could be turned by this subterranean
store of energy, which can be tapped in
definitely and over many square miles of
country.
Hundreds of these artesian wells are
dally put to all sorts of 'commonplace uses,
while here and there we find one engaged
In work of a novel kind. Ono of these Is
the artesian Irrigating plant on the Fergus
son farm at Beaver Crossing,' Seward
county, Neb,, where nine shallow artesian
wells, none of thm over 100 feet deep,
make It possible to water 115 acres on shorl
notice. The worse the drouth the bettet
for tho owner of such a farm.
The great test well at Lincoln, 2,463 feet
deep, helps to supply water to Salt lake,
while the two wells at the sulpho-saltne
baths of Lincoln supply water for the
great natatorlum of that Institution. In
Omaha a series of artesian wells add greatly
to the beauty of various parks by supply
ing fountains, streams, pools and lakes, the
largest of which, seen on the Miller estate,
covers somo thirty acres. But of all the
utilization of artesian water the most
highly commendable and original seems to
be that at Pierre, S. I)., where three great
wells perform the singular work of sup
plying water, natural gas and electricity
for the town. The discharge comes to the
surface as water, but, paradoxically
enough, goes to the consumer as natural gas
and electricity. Taking advantage of the
discovery made shortly after the completion
of the wells, that with the lowering of the
pressure as the "water escapes natural gas
Is liberated, 'the wells were piped Into suit
able retaining tanks and a sufficient quan
tity of natural gas. was thus accumulated
to supply ths town and run the engines of
the electric light plants as well as those of
a sixty-horse-power pumping station.

Is suspended upon the wheels Is constructed.
Doth wrought Iron and cast steel frames
aro used, but the former are not made In
the works. In forging the wrought Iron
frames small pieces of selectod wrought
Iron scrap are first welded Into thin slabs,
a number of these are then welded to
gether and gradually worked Into a frame.
The process Is quite a lengthy one and re
quires considerable skill on the part of tho
men engaged In It. The shop, as might be
supposed, consists mainly of an aggrega
tion of steam hammers, but a peculiarity
of Its construction Is noticeable In the fact
that the boilers which supply the steam to
operate the hammers aro located imme
diately over the main heating furnace, so
that the samo fuel accomplishes both re
sults, namely, heating the Iron and run
ning ths hammers. When the frames ore
finished In the rough they nro taken to
enormous planers which are capable .of
working on a pair of frames, at the same
time they make a continuous cut from one
end to the other. After this thoy go to
Immense slotting machines which, If nec
essary, can handle eight at a time,, and then
to tho 'drilling room, where they, are praq
tlcally completed. .

When all the parts of the locomotive
are complete they are sent, as stated be
fore, to the erecting shop. Here' there
are two 100-ton cranes, .which can pick 'up
and carry about the hoavlest engines that
ever were built, and two fifty-ton cranas.
Tho cylinders and frame aro first put In
position and suppo'rted on Jacks; then the
boiler Is brought In nnd swung, into po
sition by one of the big cranes, After
this the necessary bolting of. the. parts to
gether takes place, and the .attaching of
the guides, guide boxes, rocker, boxes,
reverse sha'ft and other similar work, which
varies more or less with every engine put
out, Is done. One of the big cranes then
lifts up 'the whole structure while the,
wheels are being placed under It and lowers
It upon them. The ahcatbtng and other
finishing work follcjwp, ,and, we sfo that
which was but a tew days before only crude
material transformed Into, a complete loco
motive. Quite frequently, but Hot always, after
being finished the locomotive? are Juqked
up and tried under steam before being sent
out. This Is more-generally done, however,
when they are Intended for a foreign coun

The plaintiff, n child of 6 yenrs, In cross
ing the defendant's track on Nicholas
street In tho city of Omaha, was run over
by nn engine operated by the defendant
and one of her legs was cut off nbiv the
ankle. Tho court instructed the Jury us
follows: "If you find from the evidence
that Iena GelBt was of sufficient age', In
telligence and experience to know 'and
realize the danger of being where nhr
wna and of attempting to cross In front
of an approaching train, then she would
be chargeabla with contributory negll
gence." The vldence wa sundlsputed that
the track over which the englno approached
the crossing was obstructed from the plain
tiff's view by the boxcars standing on an
other track, and the plaintiff's evidence
tended to show that no bell or whistle wat
sounded or other signal given nnd thnt
the plaintiff did not know of the approach
of the engine until she had reached the

occurred. leld, that the Instruction '
erroneous in that It excluded from the con-'
vtdcrntlon of theJury all evidence that tho
plnlntlff was without fault In attempting
to cross the track, and that she was lured
Inlo her dahgerous position by the ne'
llnenco of the defendant In falling to give
any warning by bell,, whistle or otherwlso
that the engine was approaching the street
crossing; and 'that her view of the npproncn'
ing engine was obstructed by the,boxriirs.
The defendant's evidence tended to. show
that when the plaintiff discovered the en
gine she' had '"not yet reached the 'track
of. the. defendant where the accident oc
curred, and that If she had remained In
the position she occupied, she would not
havo been injured. On this phase of the
case the court Instructed as follow; "In
this case If you find from the ev dence
that Lena Gelst knew of the approach of
this engine In time to avoid a collision
nnd that at the time she obtained thin
knowledge shn was In a position of safoty
if she had remained there, then It is Im
material whether warning or signal of the
approach of the train was given or not."

whether ihe occupied, a pocltfon of ap
