Another Railroad Horror.

A horrible accident occurred on the
Moenchen Stein and Basle railway,
Switzerland, Sunday, through the col
lapse Of bridge beneath heavily
loaded excursion train, crowded with
people on the way to attend musical
fete. Sixty persons were killed outright
while hundreds were injured. Two en-
gines and the first car plunged into the
river and all the passengers in the first
car were drowned. Two cars remained
suspended from the bridge. All the
trainmen we're killed. Thirteen cars
were saved. The bridge was an iron
skeleton structure, which was considered
well built and substantial. The only
apparent reason for the collapse is that
the train left the rails and threw its en-
tire weight on one side of the bridge.
Some heartrending scenes were wit
messed in Basle Monday when the bodies
of a large number of the victims were
taken there by sorrowing relatives.
There were Representatives. of majority
Of the best families OF Basle among the
killed and injured. Several families
were practically wiped out Of existence
by the disaster.

The HINT system Purchased.

The Oakes party has just made tour
of the Hunt system, and very shortly, it
is announced, this road will be formally
turned over to the Northern Pacific. At
present the lines are owned by G. B.
Wright, the Philadelphia millionaire,
founder of Tacoma, owner OF large
block of Northern Pacific stock, etc.
Wright paid Hunt $4,000 mile for the
roads and the latter agree to pay the
floating Indebtedness. The Northern
Pacific is to pay $4,000 a mile for the
property, which is we'll worth that to
them. Some time ago Hunt was offered
81 10000 clear cash above cost for the
system, but refused it. Now he is left
practically penniless, the Gray's Harbor
line having absorbed all his means and
what he derived from the eastern Wash
ington lines. It is the purpose, go a
Northern Pacific official told citizen of
Spokane while the Oakes party was
there the other day, of the Northern Pa
cific to connect the Hunt system with
their Palouse branch, thus paralleling
the Union Pacific lines through all
Washington. 1t is not i'm
probable that this connecting link will
run through Colfax, affording that town
the competing line it so much desires.
With the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern,
the Hunt system and the Oregon I'm
provement company's property the
Northern Pacific will have many valua-
BILE lines in Washington.

Mineral Land Decision.

Opinions were rendered in the United
States court at Helena on the 10Th in
the case Of Northern Pacific Railway
plaintiffs, vs.. r. P. Barden, VIM. Muth
J. r. Boyce and Ada +. Boyce, defend
ants, by Judges Knowles and Sawyer OF
the United States district and circuit
courts, respectively. The case involves
the title of mineral land near Helena
which was taken up by Barden ct al
subsequent to the mpletion of the
Northern Pacific railroad 1t was ar
gued before the judges May 4th on a
demurrer of the plaintiffs. The opin-
ions are quite lengthy and are ones that
have considerable bearing on number
of cases that are now pending. Both
opinions practically state the case as
follows:
The complaint sets forth that the land
in question is on an alternate odd Sec
tion and is within forty miles of the
railrOad and is non-mineral and is free
from pre-emption. 1t is not stated di-
rectly that the land is non-mineral. but
that it was not kpown to be such at the
time OF the grant, nor at the time the
general route of the road was located in
1872. 1t is alleged that the land was
more valuable for grazing than for min
eral purposes, and that at the time the
land was surveyed in 1868 it was return
ed as nOn-mineral land. In 1886 it is al
legged that the plaintiff listed at the
United States land Office at Helena and
the receiver duly accepted the same. 1t
ls also alleged that at the time of the
filing OF the list the land v as not known
to be mineral, but that during the year
1883 certain veins of precious metals
were discovered thereon, and on June
20, 1888, the defendants located said
lodes as mineral lands, under the names
of Vanderbilt, Four Jacks, New York
Central and Hudson River, and on Nav
9Th the Chauncey Depew lode was To-
Gated, and that said defendants are now
in possession of said lodes and have
taken ore from them to the value of 500
and that the value of said property is
$1,000, and the plaintiffs pray for iudg-
ment for possession of the premises and
the value OF the ore taken therefrom.
The defendants demurred to said COM
plant on the ground that it did not
state facts sufficient for action. At the
conclusion of the statement of the case
the opinions cite different opinions that
have been rendered in similar cases by
other courts and comment at length
upon the points in the cases cited that
are similar to those of the case upon
which the opinion is being given. At the
conclusion of each opinion appears the

Wyman Captured

Fred Wyman, wanted at Butte for
stealing horse on the night of the as
sassination of j. w. Penrose, and who it
was believed was implicated in that cold
blooded and cowardly crime, has been
apprehended. He was captured at Hell
ena Monday afternoon while attempting
to dispose of the stolen horse, by Messrs.
James Conley and j. B. Gallagher, who
had tracked him through four counties
and over the mountains to that place.
From Butte young Wyman struck out
near the Little Pipestone pass, went to
Virginia City, Sheridan, Twin Bridges
and on to Jefferson county and up to
Elkhorn, where Wyman borrowed s5.
He had a good horse and rode him pretty
hard. On Sunday Conley and Gallagher
rode over 100 miles and changed horses
four times that day. They had pretty
rough experience in the rains of Friday
and Saturday. The Inter Mountain of
Tuesday says, in speaking of Wyman's
return: "He had very little to say.
When he heard how much trouble the
officers had been to he said he was sorry
to have put them to SO much bother. He
admitted taking the horse and said he
was drunk at the time It is not be-
ieved that the young man had anything
to do with the Penrose murder. His
stealing of the horse at the time was an
incident. Wyman has fire.

ern Pacific holdup year ago, made a
bold effort few days ago to get even
with Postoftice Inspector William Wat
klns, who chased him all over the conn
try and finally caught him in Virginia.
Newberry took the stand in his own de-
tense and claimed that he had entered
INTO conspiracy with Watkins looking
to his escape. He claimed that Watkins
proposed to him during his confinement
IN the Fargo Jail to furnish him saws
and files to cut his way out. No i'm
portance was attached to the statement
OF the prisoner, as Watkins has been the
nam worker IN running down the men
who held up the train and robbed the
United States mail, and also in securing
the attendance of important witnesses.
The fact is that Watkins has been sick
ever since he went to Fargo to attend
the trial, and had to leave there before
1t was over. He is now at Hunters Hot
Springs, neari Livingston, trying to get
rid OF bad case OF rheumatism. He
was so disabled at Fargo that he had to

Associated Press Dispatches.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-News concerning
the situation in Brazil continues to be
very meager. The provisional junta in
authority in the state of Rio Grande do
Sui is taking active measures to
strengthen its position and to maintain
the opposition to Fonseca's IS dictatorship.
Baron Lucerna, president of the Fonseca
cabinet, has sent dispatch to the
junta offering on the part of the die
tator to recognize any local government
that the people of Rio Grande do Sui
may prefer, on the sole condition that
peace and tranquility be first restored.
To this offer the junta replied that the
forces would only disarm when Fonseca
shall have resigned, and the national
congress shall have again assembled.
BRAZIL BORDERING ON ANARCHY.
The Exchange Telegraph company
has further advices from Rio de Janeiro
this afternoon. According to these the
condition of affairs throughout Brazil
is rapidly growing more critical. Every
where the discomfort and disaffection
with the present regime is becoming
more pronounced. Instead of tranquil
ity and acquiescence in Fonseca's
assumption OF dictatorial power, there
is vigorous opposition and increasing
agitation. In general terms, the polit-
ical condition OF the country is described
as closely bordering on anarchy. In
spite of the efforts of the government to
reduce Rio Grande do Sui to obedience
by force of arms, or to win its allegiance
by concessions, it is now generally ad-
mitted at Rio de Janeiro that the state
will adhere to its attitude of opposition
to the dictator. More than this, every
body whose opinion is entitled to weight
believes that the state will be strong
enough to maintain its independence. as
reports from there show that the provis-
ional junta is we'll supplied with funds,
and is daily increasing the effective
strength of its army.
FONsECA's LIFE IN DANGER.
The Exchange Telegraph company's
dispatch further declares that Fonseca's
death is probable at any moment.
Though it is known that Fonseca is i'll,
this statement is not supposed to refer
to death by natural causes. 1t is taken
to mean that there is extreme danger OF
his assassination, or a sudden and pow
erful uprising of the incensedopposition,
who will overthrow the present regime
and make away with its head.
