ALL OVER ONE WOMAN.

The Strange Series of Rows She Caused in
Spokane Falls.
SPOKANE FALLS. Sept. 21.-[Special. AT
the corner of Riverside avenue and Division
street at late hour last night large and q
small man we're standing on the sidewalk
talking to woman who was inside the
yard. The men were quarreling over the
woman. Presently the small man seized a
large rock, with which he struck the large
man, splitting his head open. AS soon es
he recovered from the blow the large man
made his escape. The small man kissed
the woman tenderly, hurried away, and las
not been seen since. The large man wag
the woman's husband. An hour afterward
he returned to the house to see his wife.
He was accompanied by Police Captain
James Martin. and both men had been
drinking They presently became engaged
in a controversy with tho inmates of the
house and the police were notified. Two
officers soon arrived and being unable to
do anything with the captain they called
in Alderman Notbohm, who lives across the
street. The Alderman spoke sharply to
Captain Martin, who resented it by draw
ing pistol with which he beat Not
bohm over the head numerically, and
would probably have shot him had he not
been overpowered and the gun taken from
him. The policemen present declined to
arrest Martin without order from Chief
Harbord, saying they had no authority to
arrest their superior officers. Alderman
Notbohm was removed to his home, where
he is now confined to bed. Capt. Martin
has been on the police force and has been
deputy sheriff here for the past seven years.
He was always a brave officer, Quiet in man
ners and very popular, was never known to
get drunk before and his friends are at loss
to account for his strange conduct. The
city council will hold special session to-
morrow, when the matter will be investi-
gated.

A Fatal Sunday Railroad Collision
Within the Limits Of Chi
cago.
The Terrible Result Of Running
Fast to Make Up Lost
Time.
An Excursion Train on the Illinois Cen.
tral Crashed Into by q Burling-
ton Train.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA terrible railroad
accident occurred in the southwestern por-
ton of the city shortly after dark this
evening. Chicago, Burlington d Quincy
suburban train dashed into an Illinois
Central excursion train returning from out
side the city. The collision resulted in a
frightful tragedy. For time the confu-
sion was SO great that even an approximate
idea of the loss of life was impossible to
obtain. The first report from the police
was that forty people probably had met
their deaths, while the railroad officials
said only two or three persons
were certainly known to be killed.
Within half an hour, however, five mangled
corpses had been dragged out of the heap of
broken timbers and twisted iron that marks
the spot where the collision had taken place.
BY this time it had also been ascertained
that at least three people were seriously in
jured. and twelve others slightly.
The collision took place near Douglas
park and the victims we're Sunday excur-
sionists just reaching the city on
their way home from an outing,
Otto Sohloeff, aged II, and two men un-
known. The fatally injured are: Lena
Reising. Minnie Pilgrim and Eddie Torpe.
In addition to this dozen other people
were more or less seriously bruised and
some of them had their limbs fractured.
When questioned the Burlington train
crew asserted that they passed Millard ave,
nue. under clear signal. Millard
avenue is only short distance from
where the smash up occurred and the Bur
lington crew claim that when the crash
came the red lights on the rear of the llli-
nols central tram n were .s showing % with i. ex.
following was attributed without hesita-
ton. Other people state that the Burling-
ton train was behind time and was running
at reckless rate, and that to this was due
the fact that the engineer could not stop
latter train was blocked and waiting to be
released when run into. The conductor
and engineer on the Burlington train have
been arrested.

TRAIN WRECKERS CONFESS.
a High In the Ranks Of the Strikers
Said to He Involved.

Sept. .21.-[Special.] 1.-The Sun
has a .al from Troy saying that full
confessions of the three men implicated in
the recent train wreck on the New York
Central have been obtained for publication,
and that they contain many damaging
statements. One of the most interesting
features is the duplicating in the matter of
the official leader of the Knights of Labor
in the strike, Master Workman Edward j.
Lee. The conspirators say he personally
furnished them with money to leave the
country after they wrecked the Montreal
express. They describe his conferences
with men who were leaders in the plot. The
dispatch also asserts that the information
regarding the identity of the oonspirators
came to the railroad people from the upper
councils of the Knights; that since the
strike began the railroad company had in
its pay men high in the order who have
constantly furnished information of great
Importance. These secret agents are still in
the employ of the road and still high in the
council of the Knights.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-An important combi-
nation of the engineers and conductors en-
ployed on the Chicago and Northwestern

Order of Railway Conductors" H. E.
Willis, of Clinton, Iowa, was chosen chair
man. To reporter he said the association
was formed for mutual benefit. Its forma-

contrary, the best of feeling exists between
the employees and the management of the
Northwestern system. The important fea-
lures of the agreement is that each organi-
zation will aid the other in case of any
trouble with the company.
