"Dave" Bcannell, the 'Frisco Are chief who died Thursday baa had a remarkable career, and from early days has been promi nently Identified with Ban Francisco's history.

A newspaper has been started In Polk county the Perrydale Patriot, and It Is well filled with locals and matter of, general in tercet Among McCoy items we find that ''A.McKlnnon will soon return to bis old home In Salem." From Amity we learn that "Mrs. Richardson went to Salem Baturday last to see ber mother who la very sick." A Perry dale Item says: "Frank Coffey moved with his family and household effects back to bis farm six miles south of So lum, where he will engage In tho nur sery business."

Maybe a mile and a half, I don't know. I walked a ways but my head fell as though It was the biggest part of my body, and I crawled the rest." IOOKINO INTO THE BTOttY. Notwithstanding the incredudllty of most of the bearers of this strange nar rative, Conductor Wilson called for volunteers with firearms to go out with blm and look Into the matter. Of course everyone Jumped to the conclusion that robbery of the express car and passen gers wan the main object of such an at tempt and from the express oar and the possession of passengers a shotgun and a dozen revolvers were furnished These borne by as many resolute men It wm felt would be a 'match for any ordinary gang of train-wreckers. The forward engine was detached; tbe armed men clambered .Into the cab and tender; and with the order to "go ahead slow, and keep a bright look-out" (he engineer opened the throttle. But instead of a mile and a-half as. poor wounded Richardson bad said, the trestle the first ahead, being mistaken for the second, was reached at a mid dling smart space. Tbe pilot struck tbe misplaced ral, and slewed It around close to,and parallel with the fixed one. The driving wheels went bump ing over the ties, and the engine stopped at the north end of tbe struct ure with the forward, Jeftbaud driver outside the guard-rail, and hanging over tbe ravine. If, at tbe speed of thirty miles an hour, those two engines, four freight cars, and nine passenger coaches had struck tho denuded trestle, the whole train would bavo shot out Into space, fallen clear thirty or forty feot, and then rolled over and over down a hun dred more. The stoves were aglow with bnrnlug coal, and the lamps all lighted, that tire would have finished what tbe fall had left in ruins. Cattlk Btahvino.

In tho meantime Richardson had beeu lifted Into the smoking car, where willing hands ministered to his com fort. A Burgeon was found in the rear sleeper, und, with the limited means at his command sponged the contused wounds of the head, and bathed and bandaged tho knife wounds. At llrst it was thought, from his dazed condi tion and rambling speech thut the man who hud payed two hundred and fifty lives, and scores of thousands of dollars worth of property, had beeu drinking liquor; but to all urging to "tako a drop of whiskey or brandy" he simply replied; "Not thanks, I never touch It." Examination of his wounds showed that he had beeu beaten so nearly out of his senses, that fractnro of the skull was feared; but tbe surgeon thought It was only temporary derangement. Tho stabs are more serious, The up per ono Is In the left breast, alongside the ulpplo and does not seem to have penetrated further than the rib. The lower one Is In the abdomen below the diaphragm, aud if it has punctured the peritoneum, Is almost absolutely mor tal. Besides these, his back, sides and arms are bailly bruised, aud caused blm much suffering. THE DERAILED ENGINE. There was no such thing as moving either way across the trestle until the engine was retracted, and the torn-up rail replaced. The gangs of Chinese sectlou hands who work along the track In tho neighborhood of Rice's Hill were routed out aud put to work, aud they proved a poor lot; aud had it not beeu for tho exertions of tho train meu and some willing passengers' bauds, It would have been long after six o'clock In the morning when the Welcome Intelllgt nee was passed that the train might go ahead. Ab it was, a little over live houra were spent at the scene of the attempted horrible tragedy, and but little time had beeu made up wbeu the overlatid reached Balem, A QUtHTION OK CIHAT1TUDE. Tho few passengers In tbe day coach aud the amoker contributed tweutv dollars, and the occupuuta of tho three tourists aud four Pullmau sleepers swelled I lie sum to nluety-flve dollar, aud a Mr. Maun or Portland .asked all who could afford It to send him for Richardson checks aud sums of money. which would promptly reach tho brave fellow. The railroad owe him a monev debt them to Justice are entertained. THE CONDUCTOR'S STORY. Charles Wilson, tbe conductor on tbe Ill-fated train was seen upon ar rival at Salem at 1123. His story of tbe wrecking of the train is as follews: "The train stopped and tbe pilot en gine weut ahead and picked up Rich ardson, the stabbed man. The train crew did not believe bis story but the pilot engine went ahead. Richardson had told them something about dan cer on the track a mile and a half ahead which proved only a short dis tance. The orew were on the lookout, and before they had run a half mile saw tbe rail removed aud track ob structed, but not In time to stop. The pilot engine ran off the break in the track, crossed tbe trestle, running on tbe track finite a distance, 160 feet be fore it stopped. Tbe section hands came to the rescue of tbe imperilled en gine which was banging as by a hair over a trestle that was to have been the death trap foi my whole train with 800 people on board." A 1IERO. "It was a most miraculous escape in deed. Tbe man Richardson is a hero. I asked Dr. Byrd who examined him here at Balem and gave blm a sedative for his terrible suffering, whether we could take him along to Portland, as T did not know whether we could get him there alive. We held the tralu here for an examination and the Dr. said be thought be would get along. One would be considered very serious. Dr. Byrd was telegraphed at Balem this morning early to board the train. THE NEWS AT SALEM. The train pnlled in at Salem at 1125 and a large crowd bad gathered. Tbe local got in from Portland as usual, find sidetracked for tbe overland which had been reported late, being due here at 6:18 a. m. Tbe overland laid at Snlem 25 minutes and proceeded to Portland. Tbe news about the attempted wreck bad been kept very secret here, no one but tho ofllciala giving it away, but a Journal representative was on tbe ground and saw everyone who could tell anything about it. J. B. DWYER, of Ban Francisco, was on the train and was one of two passengers who got oft at Salem. He is at Tho Willamette and gives thio account of the affair: "About fifteen minutes past twelve I was awaaened by a sudden stop and Jar. The conductor came through.ask- Iok passengers for a gun, and if there was not a doctor aboard. Passeugers got up and were told the engine was broke down. But some suspected train robbery, and there was great excite ment. I dressed, and the man, Geo, E. Richardson, was carried iu. He said he bod been stabbed and thrown over tho trestle. Four or flvo men did him up, he said. He did not look dirty, and I thou suspected bo was never thrown over the bank as be claimed. I saw him again at 5 a. m. He gahl be was n gardoer, working his way to Roseburg. He had been put oft tbe freight, aud said It was 1 miles ahead, where they took up the rail. "My first impression was that be was one of tho men. got sick of tbe Job, and tried to get away. Tula suspicion was removed by his conduct after wards. Wo told blm that there would be two hundred men on the ground be fore diy light to capture tho wreckers. Ho turned and said very earnestly: "I hope to God you'll catch them," said Richardson. "How did you signal tho train?" "I had only two mutches In my pocket and did not know what to make a fire with, but filially set fire to my handkerchief, and the bluzo stopped the tralu." If It had not been for Richardson, not a soul on that train could have lived to tell the tale. Tho track walker met Ave men yesterday afternoon, who talked very Insultingly. Mr. Dwyer was on board the Premier when slio was cut In two by the steamer Willamette, eight mouths ago. .That von 1IW-H..I..... ,"-.:. --- J - most delicious t w-ii trZ nC.C "u" " ueu 0I iiuu, which It would Did You Bay most delicious tea?
