BOWL OERS ON THE TRACK
Attempt to Wreck a Train
Loaded With EpWorth
LeaguerS.
Down TWenty-Foot En-
bankment.

SPOKANE, WASH, Aug. 27.-Delegates
from Oregon, Idaho and Washington, COM
posing the Columbia River District of the
Epworth League, have arrived here several
hundred strong to-day to attend the first
conference ever held by the league of this
district. Tonight all are rejoicing over
the narrow escape from death which 200
of the delegates had while en- route to
the convention.
A nearly successful attempt was made
last night to wreck the 0. r. and II. pas
senger train, which was loaded with dele
gates. While rounding curve two miles
out from Tekoa, Engineer Wall saw pile
of powders on the track ahead. He APP
piled the brakes, partially stopping the
train, and thus saved 200 passengers from
being hurled down twenty-foot embank-
ment into the river below. The engine
was thrown from the track to the bottom
of the embankment and wrecked. The
fremen and engineer jumped in time to
save their lives. Whether the attempt to
wreck the train was made for the purpose
of robbery or by ranchers seeking revenge
for stock killed, has not been ascertained.
Bishop Bowman will preside at the
league conference, which begins to-mor-
row.

ALASKA REINDEER STATIONS.
Herds Steadily Increasing Under the
Care of Ldpldnders.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. 81
B. J. Kjellman, who until recently has
been in charge of the reindeer station at
Port Clarence, was passenger on the
Sonoma, which arrived yesterday. He has
resigned his position and is now on his
way to his home in Wisconsin.
Kiellman, it will be bered, last
year undertook contract from the United
States Government to secure and take to
Alaska party of Laplanders, into whose
keeping would be placed the immense rein
deer herds, which the Government trans
ported from Siberia to the northern set
Elements of Alaska to provide food and
clothing for the natives there. For the
first two or three years the reindeer did
not prosper, and herds which represented
great outlay on the part of the Govern
ment were rapidly dying off. Kjellman
made an offer to the Government and the
Laplanders were secured and taken north.
Since the herd has been under their
charge it has been steadily or the in
crease. This year but sixteen fawns died,
while last season something over 100 young
were lost. Kiellman reports the herds in
creasing at each of the stations, and says
the undertaking will now be made
success.

EDITORS At SALT LAKE.
Autocrats of the Sanctun in
Full Possession of Utah'S
Capital.
The First Day of the Convention
Devoted to a Programme Of
Pleasures.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 27.-T The
newspaper men own Salt Lake to-day.
Editors from Louisiana to Montana, from
the Mississippi to the Sacramento, have
arrived in town to meet in convention,
under the auspices of the Utah Press Asso-
citation. Their presence is made known
by fluttering lavender badges, the insignia
of the local organization, and which for
three days are passes on the Saltair Beach
road, the Union Pacific, the Rio Grande
Western and the street railroads.
To-day's session has been one of pleas
ure. Headed by the First Regiment band
the pencil-pushers were driven to the Salt
Lake Theater. President E. G. Rognan of
the Utah Association called the meeting
to order and named Hon. George @. Can
non temporary chairman. The Sixteenth
Infantry band played medley of National
airs. ending with the 'Star-spangled Ban
ner." when a United States soldier arose
and unfolded the flag. Audience and dele
gates arose en- masse, and such cheering
arose as has seldom been equaled in the
old building.
This started things moving, and Chair
man Cannon called upon Governor Caleb
w. West of Utah, Mayor Robert n. Baskin
of Salt Lake and Judge G. C. Goodwin of
the Tribune, who welcomed the visitors
most heartily in the name of Utah, Salt
Lake City and the press. Then came the
responses and the editors were not behind
in eloquence.
Mr.. McGrath of Louisiana was the first
speaker, but before he could get to the
stage the band played "Dixie,' and the
enthusiasm started afresh. He spoke most
eloquently on the interstate and CONNER
cial relations of the Western States, and
made deep impression on the audience.
John Nagle of Wisconsin, Mr.. Bragg of
Nevada, Mr.. Francis of California and
Mr.. Bunting of Colorado followed with
thanks from their delegations, and Mr..
Newman of Arkansas made patriotic adj
dress, taking the flag incident as his SUBJ
ject.
The delegates then left for Saltair,
where, after bath in the lake banquet
was given, and the return made at mid
night. Committees on permanent organ
ization will be named tomorrow, and bust
ness of Importance transacted. The pro-
gramme includes an organ recital in the
Tabernacle, assisted by the celebrated
Mormon choir of $50 voices, visits to the
several large mining camps and trips to all
points of interest. The city has been given
over to the editors, who, at this early day,
are enthusiastic in praise of the pleasure
and profit of the visit to Utah.

away, and if you see my partner tell him

ised he would and wondered what worried
the man, as he had not heard of the
murder.
Meeting the officers soon after. he told
them OF the incident, and Moreno was
soon captured. Wright took the back
track from where he met the Spaniard,
and found many scraps of paper torn into
small bits, and an empty bottle of pecu-
liar shape, which was recognized as bot
tie Sears called his "bitters bottle" There
was blood on it. The scraps of paper were
gathered up, and on being placed together
proved to be receipt from Wells, Fargo
Co.. for money sent by George Sears.
The scraps were smeared with blood.
Noah Coleman, a bright young noun
taineer, took the track of the murderers
where they left the saloon. and followed it
all day, covering several miles, but lost it
IN the rocks and brush. He came to Yreka
after Stemler was arrested. In order to
see If Stemler made the tracks he was fol-
lowing they took him from the County
Jail, and in company with a dozen other
men walked around in the dust in front of
the jail All this was done while Coleman
was not present. Then Coleman was re-
quested to pick out Stemler's track. He
looked at the many tracks in the road, I'M
hesitatingly picked out those of Stemler
and followed them in all their windings.
row of tacks driven in the heel was the
most distinguishing mark and admitted of
no mistake. Stemler was guilty.
When captured Stemler had pistol of
32-caliber with three empty chambers. All
five chambers showed recent use. At
Sears saloon three 32-caliber empty shells
were found. Search failed to find the other
two.
Mrs. Lyttleton was sitting on her porch,
200 yards away, and counted five shots.
Meirhaus was shot three times, Sears
twice. William Lyttleton ran to the sa-
loon. Finding Sears lying on his face he
turned him over and asked: "Who did
this, George2"
Sears answered: ga Spaniard and q
white man. They got twenty odd dol
lars"
1t was the last word he ever spoke
Meirhaus lived several days. Moreno
and Stemler were taken before him and,
with four other men, stood by his bedside.
He was asked, who shot you?" and an
swered, "White man and Spaniard.

pointing to Moreno. "shot Sears. That
man." pointing to Stemler, ''shot me-"
Fearing his mind might have been
clouded, the same thing was repeated the
next day, with the same results.

The man arrested at Atlanta, Tex, on sus-

proves to be the wrong individual. A
photograph of the man under arrest was
shown to the officer at Hesperia, who
knows Douglass, and while it bears a
strong likeness to Douglass, the constable
says the Atlanta prisoner is innocent of
the Hesperia crime.
Officers in this city, who have also seen
Douglass, say, however, that the picture is
that of the murderer, and say that the
Sheriff should have the man who is under
arrest brought to this city, as the descrip-
ton and photograph fit the man too well
to allow him to be turned loose so easily.
