The fast line on the Pittsburgh,
CINCINNATI & ST. Louis railroad met
with terrible accident at a point
one and a. half mile west of Mingo
Junction, Ohio, at / a. m. last
Wednesday morning.
The train was composed of two
sleepers, one hotel car, one baggage
and two postal cars and two coaches,
the latter being occupied with emf
grants. At / a. m. at the point
named, the fast line, which was
twenty six minutes behind time and
running at the rate Of forty miles
an hour, collided with a freight train,
and the entire train, exceptthe hotel
car and sleepers was thrown from
the track and fearfully wrecked.
Eleven OF. twelve persons are report
ed killed, and fifteen to twenty seri-
ously wounded. All the passengers
ID The sleepers escaped without seri-
ous injury. The loss of life was con
fined to those in the forward cars, oc-
cupied by the postal clerks and emf.
grants.
The CINCINNATI postal car was
thrown over an embankment of thir-
ty feet and completely demolished.
The postal clerks, Frank D. Graham,
A. w. Andrews, and w. Johnston,
were killed, and Geo. L. Mooran had
a leg broken. The St. Louis car was
thrown over an enbankment on its
end and badly wrecked. Postal

track and the occupants escaped al
most unhurt.
The killed and wounded were tax

A DEED OF DARING.

QNElAPACHE INDIAN STAMPEDES FOUR
HUNDRED HEAD OF CATTLE RIGHT
UNDER THE NOSES OF THE HERDS
|. MEN. So
An instance. of what an Apache
Indian will do in the way Of cool
daring, when the prize is worth the
risk, once occurred on ranch in
Arizona.
The ownero Of the ranch was an
American. To guard against the
Apaches he had built block-house,
and, adjoining it, a courtyard and
corral, surrounded by an adobe wall
eight feet high and two. feet thick.
In the corral the he'd was nightly
secured.
He had contract to- feed and
guard four hundred cattle, belonging
to the United States fort, some thirty
miles away. More than one attempt
had beer, made BY the Apaches to
capture the herd, while feeding two
or three miles from the block house.
But the vigilant herdsmen had driven
the cattle at gallop into the corral
before the Indians could Stampede
them.
One night there came a fearful
storm. A solitary Apache, unarmed,
and with nothing but blanket to
protect him from the cold rain,
climbed over the corrall's wall;
crouching in the corner he waited
for day.
Early in the morning, the storm
having passed away, eight 4 herds
men, mounted and armed, waited at
the corral gate for the herd to be
turned out.
The gate was opened. The stock
poured out and filed the gateway.
Suddenly, up sprung the Apache;
Vaulting on the nearest horse, he
clutched its main with one hand.
while with the other he waved his
red blanket, and yelled like a. de.
mon. ZAP 81.
In an instant every sthoof'' made
"a rush, and the stampede began.
The horse, frightened, darted in the
midst Of the flying cattle.
AS IN frency, they went through
the gateway, the Apache cIasped his
arms around the horse neck,
/ and, throwing his body on one side
of themaddened animal, disappeared
from view.
A Thousand men arranged in solid
column could not have stopped that
rush Of the crazed herd down The
valley. The herdsrl,en fred Volley
which wounded and killed some 81
the cattle.
Two bands Of Apaches daring ou1
from opposite sides of the valley
