Serious Accident to Passenger Train in
Colorado.
DENVER Sept. ia passenger train on
the Union Pacific was wrecked about IL
o'clock this morning near Beaver Brooks
station and twenty-six passengers were in
iured. The train was late and was run
ming rapidly around sharp curve. The
express car left the track and rolled down a
fftesn-foot embankment pulling with it
the mail and two passenger coaches. The
train was loaded with passengers, many OF
whom were Knights of Pythias returning
from the state convention at As
pen. The most seriously injured are:
Mrs. Gutchmacher, Blackhawk, Colo; Rube
Felgerner. Blackhawk; Geo. B. Tarr. con-
ductor; VIM. Barnett, Nsvadaville, Colo:
John Walters, injured internally. The less
seriously injured are E. l.. Warren George
Ault, w. Browning. w. b. Wardock. II. Q.
Videl, J. T. Lallie, W. G. Dussdorf, Ernest
Howard, Il. M. Dunsmore, Frank Brodie,
L. Hogle, @. G. Davis, Mrs Storms, child
eight years old, Henry Howey, John Win
dell, NJ. Forrey. Owen Jones, and Mrs.
Gutter. The cause of the wreck is not
known exactly, but as the road was narrow
gauge and the approaches very top-heavy,
it is thought the train was running too
rapidly for safety.
When tho wreoking train left Golden,
Robt. Pruen an employe OF the road, at

fell from his pocket, the hammer stl uck a
stone and tho weapon was discharged, the

But He Put the Whitecaps to Flight
with His Winchester.
MAscouTAH, ILL.,, Sept. 13.-The town of
Okawvlle, in Washington county, fifteen
miles south of here, on the Louisville d
Nashville railroad, is in high state Of ex-
citement over bitter fight between the
church and the saloonkeepers. Two weeks
ago the church leaders determined to stop
Sunday beer picnlcs. Accordingly the fol-
lowing Sunday the law was enforced and
two factions ere about equally divided and
each one has a strong following.
Sunday night about fifty armed men on
horses rode up to the residence of Deacon
Morgan, a pillar of the church and one of
the wealthiest citizens of that county.
on his head and handkerchief over his
face. The white caps surrounded the house
and called to Morgan to come out. The
man they called for WAS at home and the
cleaning barrels of their guns had no terror
for him. He walked boldly out with q
Winchester, rife in his hand and opened
fire upon his midnight visitors. Three
shots were fired in quick succession into
the crowd and they fed in hot haste.
It is more than likely that the white caps
will steer clear of Deacon Morgan in fu-
ture. Yesterday two strangers alighted
from the train and staid at Okawville all
day. They hired horse and buggy and
drove about the town. They finally met
John Tebeau, church deacon and a prom
inent citizen. They had evidently been
looking for him. and as soon as they saw
him both sprang to the ground and
pounoed upon the deacon. The latter waa
badly beaten and may not recover. The
affairs have greatly embittered the feeling
between the factions and it is feared that
there will be more trN gedies enacted before
the war is ended

gors report that at an early hour on sun
day, Sept. 6. while the vessel was in a fog,
but ateaming rapidly, nm unknown sailing
vessel, believed to be large coastin!g
schooner, struck her stem on the AriZona's
port quarter. The passengers, who we're IN

ened by tho shock and noiae and oil
rushed on deck. 1t was seen that thirty
feet OF rail and the lifeboats had been
smashed, that the deck was damaged and
several plates bent. Owing to this orninons
evidences of collision it was ut first believed
that the consequences of the accident were
more serious than proved TO be tho case.
Passengers were much alarmed and life
belts were prepared bnt their fears were
soon allayed. The Arizona for long time
searched in vain for the sailing vessel. Part
OF the schooner's bowsprt was left ON the
Arizona's deck. From the wreckage seen
1t is feared she foundered. The. steam
whistles aud fog horn were kept going long

cred. The steamers pumps were started
but NO water was found.
