FOUR LIVES LOST.
A Coupling Pin Placed in an Open Switch oy
Train Wreckers.

Train wreckers got in their flendish
work at Thornton. Ind, last Friday,
when the Chicago express on the Big
Four ran into an open switch, whicn
had been plugged by coupling pm
and was ditched, four lives peing sac
rifced. The dead are Engineer Seth

B. Crickmore of Indianapolis. and two
tramps, names unknown. The injured
are Henry Pijbe, Cleveland. o., VINO
was badly scalded and will die, and
Charles Cavenir, Cleveland. o., who
was probably fatally scaided and
crushed. The escape of the seven mail
clerks is miraculous. None of them suf-
fering more than slight bruises. Ex-
press Messenger John Edmonds OF
Bellevue KY, had charge of the ex-
press car and was thrown violently
against the head end of the car, put
escaped with a few insignificant
scratches. The passengers escaped
with severe shaking up. Those In the
sleepers were not even awakened.
Pijbe and Cavenir were discovered
lying under the front platform of the
mail car. Both were badly scalded ana
terribly crushed. Neither will recover.
They reside in Cleveland, and from
their position 1t is thought they were
stealing their passage. The tramps
were stealing a ride on the front end
of the baggage car. 1t was deliberate
plot to wreck the train. as coupling
pin had been driven into the switch SO
as to hold 1t open and throw the train.
The engine and tender, the mall. ex-
press and baggage cars were thrown
from the track and wrecked. The
coaches and Wagner sleeping cars re-
mained on the track. and none OF the
, passengers were seriously hurt, al
though they had lively shake up.
There is a strong suspicion that those
interested in the mining situation had
something to DO with the train wreck
ing. The opinion Is entertained at the
headquarters Of the Big Four road that
the train wreckers had hoped to de-
stroy a coal train about due. General
Manager Schaff has offered a reward
of $500 for the arrest end conviction OF
the wreckers.

Neither the prospect of suffering the
hardships of trip to Alaska nor the
shortage of a supply Of provisions Is
deterring the adventurous gold hunter
from making preparations to seek his

Seattle are running day and night fill-

had purchased their tickets for pas
sage on board of steamers going north
from San Francisco for $500 were able
to resell them for 81 800, so great Is the
demand for accommodations in order to
reach the gold fields.
Expeditions are being fitted out all
over this country and In Canada; Great
Britain is very much interested, and
Australian gold hunters are already ap-
preaching the land of unknown wealth.
That great interest Is shown by
American capital In the development OF
the newly discovered gold field Is shown
by the organization of various compa-
nies which are asking the public for
subscriptions to their stock.
