WRECK ON THE CHEROKEE BRANCH

Cars Rolled Into q swollen Stream and
Passengers We're Immersed.
Cherokee. Kas., Sept. a-Further par
ticulars OF the wreck last night Of the
west-bound train on the Cherokee
branch OF the Memphis road were OBJ
tanned today. Twenty persons were
more or less hurt. The wreck occurred
at Lightning creek, about q mile west
Of Monmouth, and was caused by the
breaking of an axle on the rear coach.
The break down occurred 400 feet from
a bridge. The car broke loose from the
train. after being dragged 200 feet. and
rolled over into the ditch, which was
filled with backwater from the creek.
The accident caused the cars to pitch
and rock 80 badly that when the bridge
was reached, the car struck the side
Of the timbers and caused the whole
structure to give way, thus precipitat-
ing all the other cars into the stream
below, which Is swollen from rains.
The front coach followed the baggage
car into the stream and rested partly
on the baggage car, which kept 1t from
sinking into the water. The smoking
car turned completely over and Is now
lying at the bottom Of the creek. The
passengers, who had been slightly hurt,
broke in the windows and pulled the
women and wounded men out. The
wounded were taken to Fort Scott, on
a special train. Those who have been
able to be moved have been sent to
their homes. Among those most SER
iously injured are:
Mrs. E. Stewart, McCune. arm lacer-
ated; Miss Moore. Webb City, Mo-, head
bruised; Mrs. A. r. Harper. Monmouth.

NO TRACE OF LAUSON.
There IL no trace of P. p. Lauson. the
Custer county murderer who escaped
last week from the HALEY Jail. His
crime was a particularly brutal one.
and his escape Is universally deplored.
He slipped up on his victim. George e.
Watson. and shot him in the back with
buckshot. He stood over the corpse II
hours. indulging in the most frightful
imprecations. He finally gave himself
up. when arrangements had been made
with local justice of the peace to ex-
onerate him. This was done, but the
county authorities took the case up as
soon as they heard of 1t, with the re-
suit that Lauson was convicted and
sentenced to hang. At the time of the
escape he had an appeal pending in the
supreme court.
