Mr. Russell with the rest of the crew, started from the roll way with five cars loaded with logs. When they reached the regular stopping place, which was on a steep grade, the engineer put on the brakes, but the wheels of the engine and cars slid on the rails. The train was running at the rate of fourty miles an hour, and first one car and then another began to derail. The fireman, Wm. Lents jumped from the engine on the left side of the track and landed safely. The train had run a distance of 100 yards when Russell leaped from the engine on the right side of the track. On the right side of the track is a high bank and when Mr. Russell jumped he landed on the bank and was overbalanced and fell backward, his head was severed from the body by the wheels of the cars. The engine went down the track for some distance and stopped, and was found to be under a full compression of steam. When the fireman, Wm. Lents came up he found Russell lying by the side of the rails and his head in the middle of the track. He ran to where the brakeman, L. H. Vinson was and they reported the accident to the superintendent. The body was taken up and brought to this city on a flatcar. The coroner R. L. Champman of Dallas was notified and came immediately and held an inquest over the body at the depot. A verdict was not arrived at that night and the body was taken to Dallas in an ambulance. The deceased had been an engineer for many years and had worked in different camps until coming to Black Rock about fifteen years ago. He was an efficient engineman and had had several runaways at this identical place, but had always stayed with the engine. In one of the runaways the engine turned over with him, but he escaped injury. Years ago his brother was killed over on the Big Luckiamute by a falling tree. Mr. Russell was unmarried and leaves a father and mother and several brothers to mourn his loss. MET WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT

OUTCLASSED
LOST
  THE SEVENTH DAY OR EPOCH
God there rested from His work - from creating. He foreknew the permission of Sin and its dire effects upon humanity. He foreknew the steps He would take in providing ultimately a Redeemer for the race, and that the Redeemer would select a little company of believers, figuratively styled the Birde of Christ. To this Redeemer and His Bride, God intended to give the dominion, control of Earth. God purposed that Messiah's Kingdom of Righteousness should eventually uplift the willing and obedient from Sin and Death conditions. God rested from His work of creating in that He did not actively employ His Power to overthrow Sin and uplift mankind. God rested the matter in the hands of the Redeemer, Jesus, to be accomplished through His sacrifice for sins and His glorious Reign for the release of mankind from Sin and Death. The Church, God's new creation of this rest period, is Heavenly, not earthly - 2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 3:1, 4:1-4. It is claimed that, according to the Bible chronology, six thousand years from Adam have already passed. If so, the thousand years of Messiah's Reign, which is to close the great Seventh Epoch Day is near at hand. According to this beautiful theory, the work of Messiah in His thousand-year Reign soon to begin will complete the Creation. Not only will the race be brought to human perfection, but incidentally man will have obtained the needed experience in respect to good and evil. Meantime, also, the Earth will be gradually coming to a state of perfection - Paradise restored world wide. Both human perfection and the perfection of the Earth were fittingly represented, in Eden, when Adam was in his Maker's image - a King.  |
