CARNIVAL WILL COME
THE SOUTHERN CARNIVAL COM
PANY TO SHOW HERE RACE
WEEK.
Big Aggregation Booked by Secretary
Caswell—Three Hundred People
and Special Train.
Negotiations for the appearance of
the Southern Carnival company in
Walla Walla timing the race meet
week were concluded by Secretary Cas
well today and the big attraction it is
expected will prove a great drawing
card for the races and fair. Terms and
conditions for the appearance of the
carnival company were mapped out
during Manager Nat Reiss" visit to
Walla Walla a few weeks ago and at
that ti the only hitch was the find
ing of a suitable show ground. This
was cleared up by the city granting
permission for the use of Poplar street
between Second and Hast street and
the contract with the County Fair as
sociation was formally ratified by Sec
retary Caswell today.
"The carnival company is bigger and
better than it ever was and I believe
it will prove a meat drawing card for
the rates and fair this fall." Secretary
Caswell said this afternoon. "The
company carries over 390 people and it
will require a special train to transport
the show to Walla Walla. In addi
tion to the 15 high ( lass shows pro
duced by the company there will be ten
big sensational free attractions."

his leg. and an excruciating pain shot
through his body as the rusty teeth
>f the trap cut through his boot and
sank into tiie flesh. He fire 1 away
all his ammunition vainly trying to at

calling for help until increasing pain
and exhaustion overcame him and he
sank insensible.
When he revived another day was
breaking. He threw all his weignt
upon the trap, but owing to the man
ner in which he was imprisoned and
the pain which every motion caused, he
was unable to release himself and
would have perished had not assist

Young.
Young found Lake in a delirious
condition, his leg being swollen double
its normal size, and he was tugging
with his teeth at the steel trap. It was
necessary to throw him down and
bind his arms before he could be re
leased. Lor two days he was cared for
by Young who then started with him
for Bakersfleldj fearing that unless
he received expert attention blood
poisoning would set in where the sharp
teeth of the trap had lacerated the

ENGINEER'S LAST RUN
His Story of. How He Lived His Life
All Over In a Flash.
"Drowning is not the only experience
that c auses a man to read his own bi
ography in the flash of a second," said
F. C. Roberts, a locomotive engineer,
to a Louisville Courier-Journal cor
respondent.
THE EVENING STATESMAN TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1904.
"I was running on the passenger
trains between Atlanta and Macrn sev
eral years ago. and 1 was to meet th
north-bound train at a certain statioi
on the road. Well, it was all my fa lit
I hadn't slept any for five nights, an
the only rest I had was in my cab. Tin
last stop that we made before the
experience of which I speak, the fire
man had to wake me up w hen the 'sig
nal to go ahead was received. I had
gone to sleep in my cab.
"As we approached the next station
the conductor may have signaled me.
as he claimed he did, but we dashed
through the tow n at about 40 miles ar
hour before I heard the down brakes
signal. The minute I heard it I saw
the headlight of the north-bound train
less than 300 yards away coming round
a curve. I threw on the air brakes and
reversed, but it all looked too late. The
fireman jumped, but I was paralyzed.
The two gerat engines, one bearing a
special train, rushed together like
angry bulls, and I was frozen there,
and while those trains rushed to
gether, I saw every incident of my life
just as plainly as the day it happened.
That's all I know about it.
"They took me to the hospital, and
nine days later I woke up after a spell
of brain fever. The trains stopped so
close together that the pilots were
sprung out of place, but otherwise
there was no damage. They had to get
a new engineer before my train pulled,
out. though, and that was the last time
I ever pulled a throttle."

Kid McCoy Draws the Color Line
When Johnson and Woods Are
Mentioned.
NEW YORK. Sept. 6.—"Young Cor
bett" has returned from Saratoga after
an invigorating visit to the Spa. in the
course of which he accumulated a
bankroll and a coat of tan. The I
young man who will box Britt intends j
remaining in New York for two weeks
and then going to Denver to begin i
training for the effort of his life—the
retaking of the laurels captured by
Britt upon the decision of a referee
whose opinion has never met with any
thing like general approval.
"Corbett" is big and strong and s.aid :
last night that he would do 120 pounds
easily. He will begin training very
lightly, and gradually work up to the
point a month or six weeks before the
tight, when it will be neccessary to
get down to hard work, such as he
always indulges in on tlie eve of a
contest.
"Young Corbett" is one of those har
dy boys who thrives on a long course
of preparation. He is never himself
when short of work, and needs a few
good tryouts before a big contest to
be at his fittest. For that reason Britt
was wise in insisting that "Young Cor
bett* 1 box no one before meeting him.
The Californian know that the Denver
lad would get strong and fast in meet
ing lesser fighters and would box him
self Into shape.
"Corbett" will organize a strong
training i amp and spare no effort to go
into the ring stronger and faster than
ever before. His heart is set on beat
ing Britt decisively, and as the cham
pion did not put it upon him in the
course of their last encounter he has
lost ntwie of his nerve, but rather feels
a calm assurance that Britt can't hurt
him. Harry Tutthill will go to Den
ver with "Young Corbett" and will
condition him.
The Denverite is still eager to go
around the world, and said yesterday
that after he met Britt he would gc

KID M'COY DRAWS COLOR LINE
Beau Brummel of Prize Ring Passe;
Up Johnson and Woods.
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. Sept. 6.—lt
has become Quite the popular fad
among the pugilistic stars to draw the
color line, and "Kid" McCoy, the "Beau
Brummel" of the prize ring, as Billy
Jordan calls him. has followed in the
footsteps of Jim Jeffries and Jimmy
Britt.
Mistah Johnsing was very anxious to
have a little pink tea with one "Kid"
McCoy, but the pastmaster of the hit
and-get-away game, declined the invi
tation on the ground that the man
with a dusky hue was not in his special
class. The "Beau Brummel" of the
roped arena has a very decided ob
jection to hooking up and mixing it
with the sons of Ham, and Billy Woods
and Jack Johnson will have a hard
time catching on with white boxers
who have climbed to the top of the
pugilistic ladder.
Jim Jeffries, the peer of them all,
was the hist to draw the color line and
