train No. 8, which left the city at 4:3O
yesterday afternoon, was held up at
Pryor Creek, in the Indian territory, at

robbers.
The hold-up took place at the station.
When the train stopped the robbers
covered the engineer, fireman, conduct
or and train crew with Winchesters and
forced them to leave the train.
They were marched off some distance
and two men placed to guard them.
This done the other four robbers d.
rected their attention to the express
car.
Here they failed to secure anything,
for with Winchester at his head and

turned their efforts to the passenger
coaches.
There they secured everything they
could lay their hands on in the way Of
money and valuables.

TWIN DISASTERS.
Fearful Accident on the Big -Four
at Lafayette, Ind.
Failure OF the Air Brakes Causes Train
to BE Wrecked and the Death Of
Many Persons Fatal Steamer
Explosion.
Accident on the Big -Four.

LAFAYETTE. Ind, May s.-One of the
most horrible wrecks in the history of
railroading occurred on the Big -Four
road in this city yesterday morning as
a result of which ten men are now
dead and many more injured. The
train was the eastbound passenger
leaving Chicago at 0 p. IN. The acct
dent was caused by the failure of the
air brakes to work. The engineer un-
doubtedly discovered this before reach
ing the cut beyond the Wabash river,
as vigorous whistling of the engine for
brakes could be heard when the train
was still a mile west of the city. The
engineers desperate efforts to stop the
train was shown by the large amount
of sand thrown by him on the bridge
through which the train came just be-
fore the fatal crash.
The engine dashed out of the bridge
over the Wabash river at speed of not
less than sixty miles an hour crashing
into the depot building and carrying
off a portion of the depot and train
sheds several hundred feet. The en-
CINE when it left the track, followed by
the baggage car, two postal cars and
express car, was piled in one promiscu-
Gus mass, a total and complete wreck,
burying a score or more of victims in
the awful pile. The trucks of the first
day coach were dragged out and the
side of the car knocked into fragments,
but no passengers in this car were in
jured. The chair car and two Pullman
sleepers remained on the track. The
wreck was a most complete one, the
engine and cars being torn to pieces
and piled up together with their con-
tents To add to the CONSERVATION
fire broke out from the stove in the
baggage car, but the city fire depart
ment speedily extinguished the flames.
A large crowd of citizens gathered
very quickly at the scene of the dis
aster and assisted in rescuing the vic
tins, and large force of local physi-
clans gave the necessary attention to
the wounded. Several victims of the
wreck were persons standing in the
depot waiting for the train, among
them a hackman, a mail cart driver and
some passengers. The dead are:
Michael Welch, engineer, Indianapo-
lis.
Fireman McInnis, Indianapolis.
Ed Myers, Logansport, mail clerk.
NJ c. Mahon. Cincinnati, express mes
senger.
A. R. Chadwick, Cincinnati, mail
clerk.
Charles Meyers, Lafayette, hacllman.
John Lennon, Lafayette, mail cart
driver
Jesse Long, Lebanon, Ind, mail clerk.
Charles Schapill, passenger, just
bought a ticket to indianapolis
Otto Gesselson, Alhambra hotel, Chi
cago, passenger going to the train.
All were frightfully crushed and
mangled, limbs being severed in several
instances, and heads and bodies terri
bly, disfgured.
The damage to property destroyed
will be fully $4,000, while the subse-
quent losses, which will grow out of
the disaster, will make the total very
large sum.

JUDGMENT OF CUSTER.
The Executive Council Sustained in the
State Railway Commissioner Case.


Topeka, Kan, May S.-The supreme
court has ousted from Office Railroad
Commissioner W. NJ. Mitchell, the dem
ocratic member of the board chosen by
the republican executive council in
March, 1891, for term Of three years
Mitchell had little more than a year
to serve when the populists came into
power in January last, but as the act of
the legislature creating the board made
the tenure of Office subject to the will
of the executive council, the populists
removed both Commissioners Anthony
and Mitchell and gave their places to
populist and fusion democrat-W. D.
Vincent and John Hall. Commissioner
A. R. Greene, the otherrepublican men,
Der of the board, was not disturbed, the
council permitting him to serve until
April, the end of his term of three
years, and electing p. b. Maxson to
succeed him.
When Vincent and Hall sought to
take possession of their offices they
were resisted by Anthony and Mitchell.
Attorney-General Little then brought
separate actions in quo warranto
against the two, and in the case of
Mitchell stood solely on the right OK
the council to remove the commission.
ers at pleasure. In the case of Anthony
it was discovered that he had not filed
bond for his second term, and il was
alleged that he had not qualified and
was not properly in Office His case IL
still pending.
Mitchell's attorney, David 0vermeyer,
contended that the term of office hav.
ing been declared by statute TO be
three years, the council in the face Of
sections l and 2 of article Is of the con-
stitution, could not remove him.
Against this claim the court holds that
the language of the statute, THE
executive council may at any time re-
move such commissioners, or any Of
them, and elect others to fill the
vacancy" means exactly what it says,
and that the court can no more strike
out that clause than it can eliminate the
words Ito continue in the office fer
three years" These words exist, " the
court says, lin the same statute, and
not only in the same statute, but in the
same section; therefore they must not
be overlooked"
The Mitchell case carries with it the
Anthony case, for, although he may be
able to establish that he filed bond or
that his old bond is still in force, he
would still be subject to removal with
out cause, and it is reasonable to be-
lieve that he will surrender the Office
TO Commissioner Vincent without
further opposition.
