A QUESTION OF VERACITY
dregonian
It is a curious example of the
pervwatty of human nature that
many persons Question Dr.
Cook's veracity while they ac
cept Peary's Unhesitatingly.
Perhaps they feel vaguely that
Peary had a better iight than
his rival to discover the Pole,
and therefore they believe state
ments from him which tliey re
ject when Cook makes them.
Take the rate of travel, for ex
ample. Both men say they
made over ID miles a day upon
the iinal dash Northward. The
Peary partisans declare that no
such speed was possible for Di.
Cook, but their own idol could
make it with no difficulty at all.
So it was with the polar optical
phenomena which Dr. Cook has
described. The Pearj' worship
ers cried out that they were in
credible when read in the Cook
narrative, but as soon as Peary
related the same things they
became as natural as sunrise.
. Now this sort of thing is
neither sensible nor fair. Cook
had as much right to discover
the Pole as Peary. The latter
was belter known as an Arctic
bxplorer, but he had not pre
empted the region. Other men
were not made trespassers there
by his prior adventures. Nor
is theNe an' reason in declaring
a statement false when Cook
makes it and true when Peary
jnakes it. If the two explorers
say the same thing, as they do
in almost every particular, each
adds to the credibility of the
other. It is impossible to be
lieve the one and doubt the
other. If we believe either we
.must believe both, and the fact
of their close agreement renders
it absurd to reject their common
testiraonj If Peary 1 reached
Ihe Pole, so did Cook. Other
wise how did be come to des
cribe it precisely as Peary
does?

from goin through Abe Cell's

To the coolness and quick
wit of George Alon2o, a Pull
inn 'j porter on the second sec
tinn of Itio Grande train No. 6
is attiibuted the failure of the
daring hold up by live highway
men of the passenger train nea
Leadville last night. Pnssen
uers of the train showed their
appreciation for Alonfco's work
by making up a neat little
nurse lor him and in .addition
1
urew up a letter to W. H. Wate
division snperiniendent of the
Pullman company, with offices
at Chicago, asking that some
action be tnken by that com
pauy to reward the colored man
for his effective work.
This information was brought
to Salt Lake last night by H
C. Ellis, of Bend. Ore., says the
Herald Republican, of Salt
Lake City, Utah, when the sec
ond section of No. 5 anived at
abnut 8 o'clock. The letter to
Supt. "Wate was headed by Mr
Ellis and signed bj' 23 others,
one of whom was at the head of
a family of 10, all of whom were
enjoying the travels across the
country together.
'If it hadn't been for that
porter, I believe the robbers
would have cone through the
Pullman sleepers and the other
coaches," said Mr. Ellis last
night. "We were blissfully ig
norant of any trouble until the
list blast was set off.
'It wasn't an' time at all af
ter the first blast that the por
ter started thrp.ugh the cars
turning, out all the lights. 'We
are held up,' he said. 'Climb
into your births and hide your
valuable. Don't get scared, but
keep inside.' ,Then he went
from one end of the train to the
other and turned out every
ight. On the hind end he found
the signal lanterns turned off,
and lighted the red lantern. It
probably saved us from a col
lision from the rear, for another
train came along In a little
while and stopped on seeing the
danger signal.
"I believe all the other por
ters and conductors on the train
climbed into their berths and
stayed there, after the h'rst shot
"With all, the lights, turned
off it. is. a cinch, none of..fhe. rob
bers cared to ta,ke the.ctyance of
coining into a dajk coaph and
trying to hold us up. But they
probablj' would have come if
the lights had been left on.''
Mr. Ellis said the scheme was
a most daring one, and was
well planned, though the rob
bers could not carry it through.
The Associated Press dispatch
yesterday told of the story and
of the failure, of the scheme
through ,the fact that the strong
box refused to yield to two
blasts of dynamite. . , , ,
One of the peculiar incidents
of the liold-upj according to Mr.
Ellis, was the fafct , that three
I dogs ih the express car were in
a few.feet of .the strong.box and
although the car was liearly
blown to pieces by the heavy
charges of dynamic the dogs
were Unhurt. The side and end
doors were blown open audi
splintered, but the dogs were
merely scared.
