Memphis, Tenn, Sept. IA special
TO the Commercial-Appeal from Han
burn, Ark, says: A most disastrous
freight wreck occurred on the Iroun
Mountain road at Hanson. Indian Ter
ritory, a small station 20 miles west OF
Van Buren, at 2 O'Clock today. resulting
in the death Of seven men and the seri-
Gus injury CT six others, TWO OF whom
will die.

Bose Henderson.
Frank Hamilton.
II. J.. Walton.
The injured:
George Coffman.
Jack Jones.
James Phillips.
Robert Eubanks.
Charles Fender.
George Parker.
OF the wounded it is thought that two
will die, as they suffered internal in
juries. All of the dead and wounded
were sent 10 Wan. with the exception OF
WaltGn's body. it being brought to this
place. where he has relatives living.
None OF the trainmen were hurt. The
wrecked train was a local freight, No.
i5. from C~offeyville, Kan. to Van Blu
rem. While the train was running at
a speed OF 20 miles an hour the forward
trucks o: one OF the ears near the en-
CINE broke. wrecking Is cars loaded with
walnut logs and baled hay. With the
exception OF two cars in front and three
cars in the rear. including the caboose,
every car Of the 20 in the train was
ditched.
In the middle OF the train was a a
loaded with heavy machinery. and it
was in this car that Is men were steal
ing a ride and from which seven dead
and six seriously wounded were taken
by the trainmen shortly afterwards. 1t
appears that the occupants OF the wreck
ed car were a party Of men and boys
living at Wan, I. T.. who were coming to
Van Buren, to find employment in the
cotton fields. When the machinery car
left the rails it fell on its side. nearly
all Of the men being caught by the heavy
beams. A car Of logs was piled on top
Of the one in which the men were rid
ing. and that any escaped instant death
is but little short OF a miracle.
Trainmaster Walsh at this place i'm
mediately ordered out a wrecking crew
and also the company's surgeon to the
scene. The first thing done was to extri-
cate the dead and wounded. and on ac-
count OF the heavy logs and machinery
under which they were buried, the task
was a laborious one. 1t was several
hours before the last Of the bodies was
recovered.

IN an opinion handed down by
Justice Fell the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania decided that public
school directors have not the right to
permit the use OF school property for
other than strictly school purposes.
In his opinion Justice Fell says:
'sThe use of school buildings by the
community at large for public build
ings for the discussion of subjects of
general interest may be said to be in
the line of their use for educational
purposes, but it is not the use in
tended by law. If the school build
ings may be used for meetings for
the convenience, pleasure or instruc-
tion of the general public, all other
school property may with equal pro
-priety be so used and it would be but
a step further to apply IA part of the
school funds to the same use.n The
question at issue was the right to per.
nit the school to be used for sectarian
religious meetings.

goods at Dawson City, and 1t Is i'm
possible to get more provisions in this

| latiOn. If miners rush up there this
summer, unless they take with them
