Chicago road to-day. Two men were killed
and several severely injured. About seven
miles north of Bedford. Ind, the south
bound passenger train from Chicago came
in collision with thenorth- bound passenger
from Louisville. Several of the cars were
completely telescoped. The dead are Ar
thur Burns OF New Albany, engineer of the
south-bound train; George Cole of New Al
bany, fireman OF the sonth-bound train.
Both are still under the wreck. The only
part of either visible is Coles foot. which
shows them to be caught head downward.
1t is stated another man was on their en-
CINE and is caught under the wreck. The
in, ,ured are:
Bob Muir, engineer, northbound; Lave Smith
OF Lafayette, fireman; james, Iilford, postal

train, slightly hurt.
Conductor Mcdonald, of the south-bound
train, says he and. his engineer agreed to
sidetrack at Guthrie, three miles north of
the wreck. but he went to sleep and did not
wake till the trains struck. Mr. Dent says
he was half asleep when the crash came,
and when he opened his eyes he saw the
baggage car coming right through the par
lor car and it struck him in the forehead,
stunning him Tor a moment. Engineer
Burns saws that he was two minutes behind
time, while the northern train was about
six hours behind. Doctors were sent out at
once with the wrecking train, and the
wounded were taken to Bed ord and New
A lbany John Tilford, brother of Postal
Clerk Tilford, called on the sheriff to arrest
Mcdonald, saying: II will kill him if you
don't"
Both engines are almost totally destroyed
and several OF the cars are little better than
kindling wood. The money loss will be
heavy. A New Albany report says pas
senger named Ashcroft was killed.

Keeping An Eye on the Bank
NtArLc "a

FROM the Detroit Free Press.
( t"Are we watched? Well, should
say So" was the response of clerk
in one OF the largest banks in Detoit,
to friend who had asked the ques-
ton. "There are two of the best pri-
vate detectives in Detroit in the en-
ploy of the larger banks of the city,
whose duty it is to keep an eye on
any of the clerks whom they may see
in saloons or suspicious places. It
is their duty to report once q week
to the different cashiers any action
of any ot the clerks that was not in
strict accordance with the way of the
righteous. They also report all in
stances which come to their kncwl-
edge of the boys spending money in
luxuries. Recently two OF the boys
hired team for a Sunday afternoon
drive. One of these spoilers saw
them and told the cashier ofthe hank
in which they worked. He inquired
the .prohablecost, and being in ormed
it was about $6 or 81, jotted down
the fact. OF course nothing is ever
said to the clerks about it, but we
get onto things. Another clerk was
recently shaaowed to the door of a
prominent resort, and while his ol-
lower was waiting outside he decided
TO give him the shake, and left By

A Bullet Through His Head.

KANSAS Cry, Aug. 3.-The body of Peter
Letter was found sitting upright in the rear
of his store to-day, with bullet through
his head, and the face almost entirely eaten
by maggots. In a letter to Herman
Schmidt, he notified him of his intention
to commit suicide, and appointed him his
executor. Letter had lived twenty-five
years in this part of the country, and when
$1,000 United States per cents, together
with $752 in gold in jar, was found in his
cellar, it caused no little surprise, as he had
never been supposed to be making any
money and was considered very poor. He
had 10 relatives in this country, and his
money is all willed to persons of his name
in Germany. ..
