along the top of Browns Mountain,
plainly seen from Pasadena. show that
the fires are far from being extinguished,
even on the front range, and great
volumes of smoke farther back indicate
that large area of timber land is still
being devastated. Proprietor SEitzer of
SwitZer's Camp, which, though the fire
burned all around it, is still intact, owing
to the unus aal precautions taken, came
down this afternoon ana returned with ten
additional men TO go up the south slope of
Browns Mountain and meet the force
working this way from the north side.
The San GaorieI Canyon FIRE is still
burning fercely and the Tei iunga fire is
apparently spreading.
The City Council adopted 8 resolution
to-day asking the County Supervisors to
appropriate county funds to help fight the
fire. Some of the fre-fghters are disabI
from injuries and others from poison oak,
and more are needed back of Pasadena,
but particularly northeast of the San
Gabriel Canyon region. It is reported
that an area of fifty square miles has al
ready been burned over. An appeal for
assistance was made to-day TO the Los
Angeles County Supervisors. It was re-
ferred to the finance committee, with
power to act in conjunction with the

Conductors Error.

GRANTS PASS, Or, Oct. 6.-Two wild
engines running without orders on the
Southern Pacific between Roseburg and
billiards coilided in a dense fog on curve
half mile from Greens station at $50
o'clock this morning. John McGonigle of
Portland, freuan of the southbound
engine, and Albert N. Toish of Salem,
brakeman who was on the engine, were
instantly killed. Five trainmen were
badly injured. They are: James Porter,
engineer on the northbound engine,
severely bruised and one ankle broken;
George Happersette, fireman on the north
bound engine, both legs broken and feet
crushed, rendering amputation of one leg
below the knee and the other foot neces-
sary; Benjamin Lohr, head and face cut;
Fred Wall, conductor, on Porter's engine,
bruised and cut about face and head;
Engineer McCalley, badly bruised.
Conductor Wall of the overland bound
for San Francisco accidentally left his
tickets and papers at Roseburg this morn
ing. He could not well proceed without
them, so he sidetracked at Billiards and
taking his engine started back to that city.
In the meantime Conductor Wallis papers
were discovered by the station agent at
Roseburg and the train-dispatcher ordered
out light engine to overtake the overland
about Myrtle Creek keeping a lookout for
No. 10 and section men.
The morning was densely foggy and
while rounding a curve the engines
crashed into each other. Both were going
at full speed and travelling backward. So
great was the force of the impact that all
the occupants were thrown into the air
and the two tenders wrecked. Tigh and
McGonigle were instantly killed.
Engineer Porter had reversed his engine
before being thrown from the cab. The
locomotive broke from the tank and ran
southwsrd couple of miles. where it was
found exhausted. The tanks of both en-
gines were badly demolished.
The first news of the accident was
brought to town by farmer on horseback.
Division Superintendent Fields, who ar
rived this morning from Portland, went
Immediately to the scene of the wreck
with physicians and brought back the in
lured men, returning with 8 Coroner. The
Coroner's jury heard some evidence this
afternoon, and, owing TO the condition OF
the injured men, adjourned the hearing
until tomorrow morning.

LOS ANGELES Trial.
First of Trio of Socialists Arraigned
for Speaking in Central
Park

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Oct. 6--Pohce
Judge Owens courtroom was packed 10
the doors this forenoon by socialists ana
their sympathizers. The attraction was
the trial of J. E. Higgins, e1-Congrega-
tional preacher, and one of the three So
cialists arrested week ago in Central
Park while making speeches from wagon.
The forenoon session was devoted to Sc
lecting jury, most difficult task. AT
the afternoon session the first witness
called was Officer Eowie. who made the
arrest. He stated that residents on Hill
street came to him and requested hlm TO
stop the speaking, as it disturbed their
peace. He arrested the defendant, but
had no sooner started away with him
than another man mounted the platform
and commenced speaking.
The de fendanr has subpenaed about
fifty witnesses, and the trial will doubtless
consume two or three days. n. w. VIII
kins, former editor of the San Jose New
Charter, was one of Higgins associates
when he was arrested in the park.

DEPARTS FROM EUREK

The Monitor Aonadaock Ftlt Anchor at
San Francisco.
EUREKA. CAL, Oct. 6.-The United
States monitor Monadnock, which has
been in the bay here for the past nine
days, left for San Francisco this morning.
It was to have departed yesterday, but
owing to the lumpy condition of the bar
it was thought best to take no chances
with such a valuable battleship. The
depth of water on the bar mad nothing to
do with the detention of the vessel, as
both in coming in and going out the mon
itor had from six to eight feet of water
under her keel.
The Monadnock is the first warship and
the largest vessel that ever crossed Hum
boidt bar, and its presence here aoyertises
the fact that this is one of the few safe and
accessible harbors on the coast. As a re-
suit Of the Monadnock's visit il is prob
abie that ii or some other war vessel will
be sent each year 10 drill the naval re-
serve stationed here.
