Man Saves Train From Accident. . . :, i . i i . ' Pendleton, Jan. 13. (Special) But for the chance discovery of a broken rail a few minutes before No. 17 was due in this city, that passenger train might have met a serious accident this morning. G. F. Parker, owner of the taxicab service in this city, made the discovery and flagged the train before it reached the damaged piece of track. 'The broken rail was right on the Court street crossing in the east end r How's your sole in Need Fix of the city and Mr. Parker discovered it as he was making a trip to the St Anthony hospital a few minutes be fore No, 17 was due. ... The rail was broken a few feet from a joint and the end had been bent to that it stuck up in the air. Mr. Parker remained by it until the train ar rived and stopped it with a signal. By running very slowly the train was drawn over the damaged place and a delay of only a few minutes resulted. The rail has since been repaired. It is believed that rail was broken by a freight train which passed over it a short time before No. 17 arrived.

Wee, modest, crimson tipped flower, Tbou's met me in an evil hour, For I nmuu crush amang the stouro Thy slender stem. To sparo thee now Is past my power. Thou bonny gem. ' The flaunting flowers our gar dons yield, High sheltering woods and wa's mnun shield; But thou beneath the random field. O' clod or stnne, Adorns the lilstlo Rtlbble field, Unseen, alnne. There, in thy scanty mantle clad, Thy snawle bosom sunward spread, Thou lifts thy unassuming head In humble guise, But now the share aptears thy bed And low thou lies!
