chased the Chance property, where he
lived and conducted a general store.
He had in his employ a man, Charles

Mr. Stevens went to New York,
Thursday, and was accompanied by
his wife, leaving his house vacant and
in charge of Wilson. About l O'Clock
Friday morning the fire was seen by
Mrs. Boyce and the alarm given.
Wilson, who had the keys of the
building, was soon found and arrested
on suspicion, when he made a confes-
sionf acknowledging that he fred the
property, but that he had been pre-
vailed upon by Mr.. Stevens with the
assurance that "he would start a bust

the shattered cars.
The accident occurred while The
hrst section Vas at a standstill ON the
track. Some Of the passengers were
out on the ground, some eating
breakfast, while many were asleep.
The telescoped cars were the first and
second ones from the rear end of the

Every undertaking establishment

dead.
Engineer Whalen, in charge of the
last section, says he saw the signal to
keep back, but when he tried to stop
the train he found the air brakes
would not work, making it impossi-
bic to stop. Whalen is badly burned
and has one leg broken.
The wreck was of two sections of
the Worlds Fair train on the Della
ware, Lackawanna g. Western Road,
running over the Michigan Central
tracks. The two rear cars completely
telescoped each other and every per-
son in them was either killed or in-
jured. Willing hands at once went
to work and as soon as possible
the wounded were rescued and cared
for and the dead removed to the
morgues.
So far nineteen bodies have been

The Bruneau Placcrs.

A. P. Shively and Alex. Penrod
came down FROM the Rruneau coun-

siastic over the placer mines there
and say that the next Summer will
see very lively times on the Bruneau.
Two hundred and eighteen twenty
acre claims have already been locat-
ed. The valley is about one hundred
yards wide on each side of the river
and gives good prospects for the en-
tire width. Beside the valley proper
there are a large number of gulches,
leading from the mountains on each
side to the river, in which gold in
paying quantities is found. There
are about twenty-five men at the
placers now, every one of whom is an
old prcspeceor. Unless all signs fail,
the northern part of Elko county will
be the liveliest place on the Pacific
Coast next Summer.
