DEATH TRAVELS ON THE RAIL
Two Passenger Trains Collide at High
Speed
-Four Arc Killed Outright and Five Injured.
1t Was Head-End Colllsion-The
Names of the Dead

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 11.-Passen-
ger trains Nos. . and on the Great
Northern had a head end collision at
Meloy this morning. Both were run.
ming at high speed and came together
with terrific force. The dead are: j.
X. Emerson, engineer of No. 2; james
Thubideaux. fireman of No. 2; Ira Hines,
engineer of No. 3, and both baggage
men, one of whom is thought to be H.
Hawkins.
Five are injured, including three mail
clerks, one brakeman and one passenge r
on No. 3.
Wrecking crews were hurried to the
scene from Barnesville and St. Cloud and
doctors from st. Cloud, Fergus Falls and
Alexandria.
Not since the terrible Nelson collision,
three years ago, mas the Great Northern
experienced so dreadful wreck. 1t was
a head end collision and occurred a 40
a. m. No. 2 eastbound passenger train,
while running comparatively at high
speed, met No. 3 eastbound train. The
point where the accident occurred is on
top of Pelican hill on a heavy grade
just how the wreck happened does not
appear. That the death list is small is
miraculous, as both engines, mail and
baggage cars are complete wrecks. All
the dead are residents of st. Paul.

A THIEVING BARBER
Stole From His Employers but Is Finally
Captured


Captured
A clever bit of work was done by De-
tective Hawley yesterday which resulted
in the arrest of George Vallient and the
recovery of q lot of stolen property. Val
lient Is barbsr who bears a very nm
savory reputation, and he has been
wanted for numerous petty crimes. but
until yesterday succeeded in evading ar
rest. He has been stealing systematcal-
ly at different places in this city. his
practice being to hire out as bi rber and
then rob his employer.
Day before yesterday Vallient sought a
position in the barber shop of J. S. Mer-
rill, whose place of business is near the
corner OF Seventh street and Grand ave-
nue.. saying that he would like to get
work on Sundays. Instead he was given
a chair yesterday m mornirg. During the
noon hour Mr.. Merrill left the place in
Vallient's charge, and upon his return
found the man missing. together with
the monev from the till, amounting to
abort 50 and three of his best razors.
On the previous day Vallient stole q
ladies' gold watch and chain from an
other barber. John Laplout, whose shop
IS at 329 North Main street.
Detective Hawley went to work on the
case, but was unable to ind his man at
his residence on the conrer of Rowland
and Forester streets. 1t appears that the
fellow has been skipping about from
ore lodging house to another. The
officer finally located him in house on
Los Angeles street. where he lay in wait
and captured him at 10 o clock last night.
On his person and i'll his room were a
number of stolen articles, all of which
were recovered. Valiient has made con-
fession of his guilt.

Conlon in front of the latter's home, 394
Austin avenue, about midnight last
night.
The cause of the shooting, it appears,
was an imaginary grievance which Oran
had against his victim. The only witness
to the affair was Miss Agnes COnlon. She
said her brother was sitting on the front
steps Of their house when Oran and his
wife passed. Oran stopped to talk to her
brother. the conversation became loud

mysterious, no possible motive being
known for the barbarous killing of the
aged couple.
y One man who is believed to know some
thing about the murder. if be was rot
actually concerned IN it, Is already in
custody, and officers are hot on the trail
Of his companion, who is thought to have
been the actual perpetrator OF the foul
deed.
This morning several officers went to
the scene of the tragedy. They found the
bodies undisturbed. At the entrance of
the tent lay the corpse OF Mrs. Stiles.
She had evidently b,en killed without
warning. Her face was powder burned
and wound in the left cheek marked
the spot where the fatal bullet had en-
tered. An examination showed that an
other bullet had passed through her left
arm and entered her side. There was
no indication tnat an outrage had been
attempted. The body OF old Mr.. Borden
was found in the center of the tent. He
had been shot through the head and ABB
domen. No attempt had been made to
plunder the tent or rob the bodies.
An inquest was held. The principal
witness was lie Roy b. Stiles, the hus
band of the murde red woman. He tes-
tilted that his father in-law. wife and
himself had come down to the beach ana
camped. Yesteday morning Mr.. Border
and Stiles started fishing, leaving Mrs.
Borden at the tent. They saw two men
on the bluff, one tall and heavy set and
the other very small. Mr.. Stiles told Mr..
Borden he had better return to camp and
watch the place. Before noon Mr.. Stiles
returned. He found his wife and her
iather dead in the tent, having been
shot,
The officers made careful examina-
tion of the tent, but could discover no
motive for the murder. Borden's pocket
book had not been taken.
Before the inquest was concluded one
of the suspected men, the short one, was
arrested, but his companion has not been
caught.
The verdict of the coroners jury was
simply that the deceased came to their
deaths al the hands of unknown persons.
A posse is securing the country for the
other man.

sion was caused by dropping the oaisson
on the friction primer of the piece. Two
bodies we're blown over the housetops
and horribly mangled The wounded
we're removed to hospitals. The two
horses attached to the cannon were so
horribly mangled that they will be killed.
With the exception of the colored driver
the men were members of Battery a,
Kentucky National guard.
The whole left side of Conn's face was
blown off. Even If he should recover be

Hobbs was badly burned about the face

panic. The body of the colored driver
was mangled almost beyond recognition,
and fell on the front porch of a residence

half coat were found one block south of
where the xplosloD occurred. They had
been blown clear over a three-story and
basement house. Several mangled legs
and arms were found on the tops of adj

body of Private Hutchins was blown to

body of Howard Irwin was SO badly
mangled that it was almost impossible
to gather il up without shovel. 1t was
found block away.
