The Messenger KiIled-s2o.ooo Stolen

The Messenger Killed-$2O,OOOS Stolen
 -One of the Robbers Wounded
 Thought to be the Same Ones That
 Held Up the Name Stage Last
 Tuesday Tho Militia Searching
 for Them.
 BEDDING, Cal, May 15.-The Bedding and Shasta stage had reached the top of the long grade five miles above Bedding on the river road last evening when it was stopped by the same two highwaymen who stopped it Tuesday evening last. John Boyce was driver, with G. J. Suhr on the box with him. Buck Montgomery, the messenger, was on the back seat inside. A man armed with shotgun ordered the passenger on the box to throw up his hands, then ordered that the treasure box be thrown out. The driver complied, but the messenger inside fired upon the high wayman, who dropped to his knees and then he and his partner hiding in the bush re- turned the fire with rifles. The messenger was shot in the navel and several more bullets were lodged in the seat. The pas senger received three buckshot in the left leg and the driver got five buckshot near the right knee. The robbers then disap peared with the boxes. Afterward the stage preceded to Middle Creek, where Messenger Montgomery died. The driver and Suhr were not seriously hurt. The Wells-Fargo boxes are supposed to contain considerable treasure, some placing the as high as s20,000. The high waymen are supposed to be old convicts. A large posse is searching for them. One of the robbers was undoubtedly wounded.
 The local militia company went out to aid in tho search and one of them, George was accidentally shot and wounded.

A Passenger and Freight Come To-

 Wind and Rain With Serious Re.
 sults-Both Engines Battered Into
 Shapeless Masses-Five Dead Bodies
 Recovered and Many More Are Supp
 posed to be in the Ruins-Several
 IDjured-The Cause of tn e Accident a
 Mystery.
 CLEvEs, Ohio, May 1.-Two Big Four trains, passenger and freight, collided near here this morning during terrific storm of wind and rain. There were about thirty people aboard the passenger train. Both trains were going at full speed in opposite directions and the en- zines crashed into each other with noise like loud clap of thunder. Both engines were battered into shapeless masses and rolled off the tracks. The cars behind were smashed into kindling and the track for 100 feet was torn up. Telegraph poles were thrown down and it was two or three hours after the wreck before word reached this place and special train was sent to the scene. People from the village and surrounding country gathered and in the frightful storm did all they could in the way of rescuing the wounded. With the arrival of the special train the work of get ting out the dead began. Five bodies have are mangled out of human shape. They are those of Engineer Newberry Edwards of the passenger train, Acting Baggage master Philip Gribben of the passenger train, Engineer William Higgins of the freight train, Fireman Hiram Bruce of the freight train, Conductor David Haywood of the freight train.
 The following were injured: J. c. Hu- Der, passenger, Miamisburg, O., knee-pan broken and head cut; Holten Terrill, pas senger, aged nineteen, son of D. R. Ter Till of Delhi, O., scalded all over the body; Conductor John Schroder of the passenger. train, crushed mortally between the cars; Mrs. Moreland of North Bend slightly bruised.
 Five to eight dead passengers are sup posed to be in the smoker, which is buried in the wreck. The collision oc- cured at bend in the road west of Gloves.
 This morning a new schedule went into effect. The freight had orders to stop at North Bend to allow the passenger to cross. Instead of stopping the freight the engineer pulled ahead, running about twenty miles an hour Why he did not stop at North Bend will never be known. The telegrapher at Gloves dashed out the danger signal, but the train sped by without checking speed, and at that moment the passenger train came in sight and the crash immediately followed. The wreck took fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. There were few of the agonizing accompaniments of wreck at the scene. The relief was very prompt, and everything possible was done for the wounded, who were taken to Gloves.
 Freight Brakeman Keefe was thrown by the collision from the top of a car over a telegraph wire forty feet into stream of water, which saved his life.
 Keefe thinks three tramps are under the wreck. The property loss will be hun dred thousand dollars. It is claimed that much valuable mail and express matter is
