GREAT NORTHERN ACCIDENT.
Freight and Stock Trains Come Together
With Fatal Results.

Great Falls. Mont, Oct. 29.--There
were meager reports here yesterday Of a
freight wreck 800 miles east on the line
Of the Great Northern road, but officials

westbound passenger train arrived to-
day and from special dispatches from
points along the line was IL known that
a terrific collision occurred two miles
east Of Hinsdale, Valley county, be-
tween an eastbound stock train and a
double-header freight, in deep cut just
west Of a sharp curve. All three en-.
gines went crashing into an embank.
ment, and are tipped and such bad
wrecks that it will not pay to dig them
out Of the debris. Twenty cars and
their contents burned. Both conduct
ors claim each was running on the
others time. Engineer Henry Neate,
Of the stock train, was crushed to
death under his engine and three cars
OF copper material, SO that the remains
were not recovered for l2 hours. En-
gineer John Hayfeld was hurt in the
back. and probably fatally injured.
Brakeman Ovens leg was broken, and
he was internally injured. Fireman
Ladoeu's leg was broken, and he sus-
tanned other injuries.

Murdered His Father.

Redwood City, CAL, Oct. 29.--
Thomas Flannelly shot and killed his
father, Patrick Flannelly, one of the
most respected citizens of this place,
last night, because he had been ordered
from the ranch for disregarding the
old mans wish. The crime was CON-
mitted in the elder Flannellyis house,
which the son had entered evidently
with the intention of committing mur-
der.
The crime aroused the people of this
city to high state of excitement.
Posses were formed to pursue the boy,
and he was located at the ranch he had
been ordered from by his father. When
called upon to surrender, young Flan-
nelly fired upon Sheriff McEvoy, of
San Mateo county, and several of his
deputies, one bullet taking effect in the
sheriff's left arm. The volley was re-
turned and the murderer was wounded
several times. He then surrendered.

Gold TO Re Had for the Picking Up on

Gold to Re Had for the Picking Up on
Kotzebuo Sound.
San Francisco, Nov. 1.-Captain B.
Cogan, Of the steam whaler Thrasher.
asserts that there are richer gold fields
on Kotzebue sound than anything that
has yet been discovered on the Yukon.
When the whaler was at Point Hope,
on her way into the Arctic last spring,
the Indians came in with a quantity OF
gold in small sealskin bags. They
said there was plenty of the same stuff
in the Buckland Hoata and Kowak
rivers, and what they had had been
scooped up with their paddles.
Captain Cogan. Captain Withma,
late of the steam whaler Fearless. and
one or two other whalers, are bound
for Kotzebue sound next spring. The
whaling bark Northern Light, now in
Oakland creek. will probably be fitted
out, and will carry the party to Point
Hope

RUSH FROM kLoNolkE.
The Miners Are Fleeing to Escape
starvation.

San Francisco. Nov 1.-The Alaska
Commercial Company's steamer Excel
sior, Captain Higgins, arrived tonight,
IA days from st. Michaels and 81
days from Unalaska. the only interme-
diate port at which she stopped. She
brought 5000 ounces Of gold, all be-
longing to the Alaska Commercial
Company. No miners came down on
her. She carried three passengers
Mr.. and Mrs. Ducos, who started some
time since for Dawson City, and got no
further than So. Michaels, and Edward
Hamilton, the journalist.
There has been no recent commune
cation with Dawson City, the Yukon
being i'm passable, but the latest infor-
nation received from Fort Yukon,
which now constitutes the base Of sup
plies, is 10 the effect that the people
are swarming out Of Dawson City and
Circle City by every possible means to
escape suffering and possible starva-
tion. Small boats can still be used on
portions OF the Yukon, and in one of
these an agent for the Alaska CONNER
cial Company came down from Circle
City to Fort Yukon He confirms the
reports OF great scarcity Of provisions
at all the mining camps. Those who
succeed In getting out in time will be
very fortunate, for hunger will surely
be the fate of most of the midwinter
dwellers in the Kiondike.
The rush to escape from the gold
fields exceeds the influx. and the indi-
cations are that large colony will
winter at Fort Yukon.
Captain Higgins, Of the Excelsior.
confrms the news OF the probable loss
OF portion of the whaling feet, but
can add no details to those brought
down by the Thrasher. He also tells
OF the rescue OF the men Of the Nevarch
from an ice foe, but says there were 10
saved, and not IA, as at first supposed.
1t Is not expected that much, il any,
gold will come down this season, un-
less some OF the miners succeed in
reaching sailing points by land routes
from the interior. Sam Wall and
some other newspaper correspondents
got as far as Circle City, 80 miles from
Dawson, but were obliged to retraoe
their way to Fort Yukon. where food is
obtainable. They may remain there
until spring. but 1t is more likely, il
opportunity offers. that they will try
to reach st. Michaels and return home
to recuperate for a fresh start next
spring. Captain Higgins says it Is
worse than folly for any one to 90 to
Alaska now.

San Francisco, Oct. 90. - United
States District Judge DeHaven render
ed an important opinion this morning
in the deportation case OF the United

THE CHAlNLESS WHEEL.
Likely to Develop n Fight in the Bi.
cycle World.

Toledo, o., Oct. 29.-The chainless-
bicycle question is going to develop
one OF the biggest fights, it is claimed,
ever witnessed in the bicycle trade.
The fight will be between the Columbia
people and nearly all the other manu-
facturers who are out with '9s chain
less wheel.
There are q number of factories
where chainless wheels will be made,
although none of them outside of Col
onel Pope appears to be anxious to
place chainless wheels on the market.
Among those that may he mentioned,
outside of Pope and Lozier, are the
Syracuse, Stearns, Western Wheel
Works, Yost and Spalding.
This combination recognizes the fact
that Colonel Pope had purchased the
old league chainless patents under
which the original bevel gear machines
were manufactured, and first decided to
test their validity and value. A syndi
cate was organized, prominent West.
ern concern taking the initiative and
the other manufacturers were sounded
on the subject. A fund was immedi-
ately raised to make thorough inyesti-
cation. Expert patent lawyers were
employed and nearly $4,000 was ex-
pended in carefully investigating the
premises.
One OF the manufacturers who assist
ed in raising the fund has received a
letter from the syndicate to the effect
that the attorneys have reason to be-
Iieve that neither the league patent or
the bevel-gearing patents will hold.

Little Cause for General Alarm of

TIE Bannock Indian trouble in Idaho
appears 20 have Leen greatly exaggerated
by the settlers. Dispatches received today
indicate that the number of Indians on
the reservation is much less than was
stated; that there was little basis for gen.
eTal alarm through that country ana that
the object of the Indians who did leave
the reservation was solely to secure food
luxury in the form OF caruaSs root, blue

coveted by the Indians. Lieutenant Irwin
