ing at 1:15 o’clock. Engineer Tom
Bradley was hurt by jumping, injur
ing one leg and body.
The track had been approved the
previous afternoon by T. Glavins,

heavy freight engine, which toppled
over and carried one car with it part
of the way down the dump.
The fire alarm was turned in by
mistake, Night Watchman Huffman
thinking it was a fire.

COW BOY SMITH
WON BY A SCRATCH.
A very poor house witnessed the
ten mile walking race Tuesday night
of Cow Boy Smith of Denver against
ten local athletes, the professional
winning over the amateurs by a mere |
scratch, but then he probably wanted i
to make the home boys feel good, j
though several of the last entries j
made things decidedly interesting for j
the crack walker from the far west, j
The 10 miles were made in 1 hour, 8
minutes and 33 seconds being walked
in a circle, whose circumference was
1-36 of a mile, upon the opera house
stage.
Two preliminary bouts were pulled
off between young pugilists and the
race stirted at 9:15 p. m. George
Allen and W. B. Egan were judges;
Charles Brasch, official time keeper,
George Sexton and Ira Erwin, score
keepers.
The following are the scores of the
local athletes, showing the time in
which each walked a mile:
G. L. Grant, lost 1 lap. 7:10
J. H. McFarland, lost 1 lap. 7:16
Isaac Davidson, lost 2 laps 7:20
Geo. Sink.6:33
Newt O’Neal . 7:20
Roy Johnson, gained 1 lap 6:50
A. T. Hubly, gained 1 lap. 6:25
Will Whitaker.6:15
H. Knoles 1:15
S. H. Jackson, gained 2 laps.6:10
ROCK ISLAND MAY
MAKE SECOND SURVEY.
While nothing new has been given
out recently by the officials of the
Rock Islands system regarding the
building of the line from Belle to West
Plains and on to Newport, it may be
interesting to know of the other branch
lines contemplated by that rapidly
growing system in this section says
the St. James (Mo.,) Journal.
When the survey was made of the
Belle branch last month, the southern
connection to Newport was made at
Jacksonport, Ark., on the White and
Black River Valley Railroad. This
road is a Rock Island railroad through
the purchase of the Choctaw line,
which owned this branch. Jackson
port is the northern terminus of this
line, which extends sixty miles north
from Brinkley.
It is now reported that a new survey
is to be made of this branch line north
from Jacksonport. Instead of going
in a northwestern direction up Straw
berry creek, as Engineer Ramsdell
rliH frhp npw snrvflv will onnHnnp nn
Black river to Black Rock and then in
the direction of Doniphan and Poplar
Bluff. It is thought that the survey
will be continued northward to St.
Louis.
Should the Rock Island conclude to
build this last named line there will
be no need of constructing the Belle
branch. For some time it has been
known that the Rock Island intended
making a survey east of here with a
view of comparing the line with the
route from Belle to Newport and se
lecting the one most suitable and feas
ible.
WINNERS IN CONTEST.
The winners of prizes in the word
contest instituted by the Newport
Builders Supply and Hardware Com
pany, are Miss Clara Brooks and Miss
Jennife Hubert in the order named.
The baby Quick Meal Range falls to
the lot pf the former and the $5 in
gold offered by J. R. Cox to the latter.
There were twenty-nine contest
ants and all the lists handed in were
so neatly and correctly compiled, that
the Newport Builders Supply and
Hardware Company will mail each
girl a pretty souvenir. The judges
were Revs. J. W. Smith and Mr. Nor
ton and the lists were submitted to
them by number and the prizes
awarded to 5 and 8 without knowing
the authors of the different lists.
