FOUR TRAINS WRECKED.
UNPRECEDENTED ACCIDENT AT
ARGENTINE, KAS.
While the Damage to Railway Prop.
erty Was Considerable, Only
One Person Was Injured.

KANSAS CITY (Mo), Oct. IA Gu
rious and unprecedented combination
OF wrecks took place this morning in
the yards Of the Santa Fe Railroad at
Argentine. A dense fog caused the trou-
bic. Four trains were wrecked, but
strange to say, only one man was hurt,
and he not fatally.
An eastbound freight train in trying
to enter the yard was stopped by a
switch that refused to work. Before
the trouble could be remedied a special
fast freight, which was following close
behind, came along. On account of the
dense fog the danger signals were not
seen until too late. The second train
crashed into the rear of the first one,
wrecking the engine and several cars.
Hardly had this collision occurred
when passenger train No. 8, due in
Kansas City at 6:45 crashed into the
rear of the wrecked special freight; and
few minutes later passenger train No
>, the California limited, plowed
through the rear cars of No. 8.
Only one person was hurt in these
wrecks a stockman named George
Slater, who had his arm broken and his
head badly cut. His injuries, although
painful, are not considered dangerous.
The passengers were somewhat shaken,
but no one else was injured.
The damage to railroad property
amounts to $4,000.

ard making preparations to resume
work. They are going to operate the
mines against all combined resistance
of the other side, and positively assert
that no man who insists on being a

properties. They say they have had ap-
plications from quite number of them
who on account of active connection
with the union have been refused. But
the union is helping them out on this
line, and union officers are using every
means to keep not only union but nom
union men away from the mines. The
Little Johnny has sixty men at work to-
day, the Emmett about ninety, the Bison
and Chip about thirty, the Mahala fif-
teen and Resurrection fifteen. Another
lot of men are being imported and are
