The cadets, on the contrary, ztaper missed a stroke, and soon had the -rase of their craft in advance.

A THRILLING ADVENTURE That Louis Riethmann is alive greet ing his friends as usual instead of being at the morgue is due more to luck, than judgments Mr. Riethmann has a cousin, Louis Philbeck, visiting him from Indianapolis. The two young men took a run on. Wednesday evening out beyond Sand creek. They were nearing the crossing of the Union Pa cific, Denver and Gulf tracks at Sand creek1 when the approach of an incom ing passenger train was noticed. Mr. Philbeck was in the lead some little dis tance and had plenty of time to make the crossing ahead of the incoming train. As he crossed the track he observed that the train was coming at. a' tnuch higher rate of speed than he had calculated, and he dismounted in stantly and souted to Riethmann not to try .to make the crossing. - Mr. Riethmann. admits that he heard the cry of warning, but did not heed it. Instead of waiting for thenrain to pass he threw all his leg power into the ped als and figured on crossing the track with aspurt that would take any con ceit out of his 'cousin. Then came the clash. The passenger train was making for Denver at the rate of thirty miles an hour, and lust as Mr. Riethmann reached the crossing the train struck him. The engine was instantly re versed and the train stopped as quick as possible, but not until it had gone about. 100 feet. When . the engineer ana nreman. leaped from the cab their first look was under the engine wheels, which they expected to find covered with the man gled remains of the reckless rider. As they did not find their man under the engine they started back looking for him under the other cars of the train, but failed to find any hands or feet hanging in ajiy place on detached duty. Mr. Philbeck had been a horrified wit ness of the accident and had expected to seehis cousin killed. Not seeing him fall, he kelpt watch of the engine and was the first to observe the rear wheel of the bicycle sticking ' over the pilot. He told the engineer and fire man, and the -three men made a rush for the engine. There was Riethmann lying on the bumper above the pilot, grasping the flagstaff with one hand and holding the prized wheel from falU ing under the engine. Riethmann asked to be taken home on the train. The reciuest was ; granted. Denver News. : " ' 15th, 1897. The least age at which one can enter the academy is 15, and the greatest 20 years.

An en gageinen.t. took place last r -night .- be rtween the Indian Almigh ly Voice I and Ills followers, and 4be mounted police ' force. . In the battle Corporal Hockm, of the track records . being broken or equalled. ,. The great surprise of the day was the downfall of a world's champion sprinter, Bernard J. , Wef ers, of Georgetown Uni versity, in the 220 yard flat .race. Two short sprints were conceded to him by nearly everyone connected with the game. Wefers won the semi-fitial and final of the 100 yard dash in splendid form, notwith standing the adverse wind, and- it locked as if nothing could beat him in the longer sprint. He romped home In the semi-final of 220 in clever style, but Col felt, who had reserved himself for this event, won the second semi-final, just as easily as aid wefers. five miles. To' win the one mile event will be an honor that wilr carry with it no little distinction, and will, in ad dition, be worth a large sum of money to the fortunate individual who first reaches the tape. The winning of any of the national professional champion ships will, in fact,; mean much to those who capture the prizes, and they, will doubtless be fought out by the largest and fastest team of racing men thai ever gathered at one meet. ' The two amateur championships will be for one and two miles, and their decision will doubtless furnish a repeti tion of the bitterly contested struggles that vhave characterized these events in former years. : ' . '.. In . addition to the Championship events there will be four professional-and-three amateur races one and two mile handicaps for each-class, mile open and mile (2:05 class) for profes sionals and third mile open for ama teurs.
