Tried to Poison His Mother and Attempt
ed TO Waylay Waller.

ed 20 Waylay Waller.
BLOOMSBURY, Pa, Feb. At was ru-
mored here yesterday that Clifton Knorr,
who a true bill was found against on
Tuesday on the charge Of an attempt to
blow up a house with dynamite, and with
attempting to kill an entire family who
occupied the house, had again confessed,
but the alleged second confession turns
out TO be a concession made several weeks
ago. In this confession he admits trying
to poison his mother, and he also says he
intended to shoot Levi Waller, whose
house was blown up, it is alleged, by At
torney Wintersteen and Knorr.
knorr twice put poison in his mother s
coffee, but was detected by the servant,
who threw it out. He then spread diph-
liberia germs among her clothes, but to
no effect. He says that he purchased a
new revolver at Wintersteen's suggestion
and lay in wait to shoot Mr.. Waller as he
went from his office to his home, but
failed, as the latter had gone away for
several days, and Knorr returned to Read
ing, where he resides most of the time.
1t is now said that Wintersteen Is
charged with the burning Of a store which
he owned at Mordansville, a few miles
from here, and upon which he received
the insurance. The store was stocked
with goods he removed from. the Irondale
company's store.
Yesterday the prisoners counsel made a
motion to quash the Indictments against
their clients, and pending the hearing on
the motion a continuance was granted.

THE KLoNDIKE OF THE LARDEAU.
Rich Claims Above Timber Line
Near Trout City.

Kaslo, b. c., Sept. 1.-THE mining sen
sation of the hour is the discovery of ex
ceedingly rich gold claims on Gamer
creek, in the Lardeau, near Trout Lake
City and Ferguson. The Lade brothers
located five claims there recently from
which they packed out two tons of ore,
which they have had run through the
sampling works at Kaslo. The returns
from the sampler have not been made
public, but it is understood that the
Kootenay Ore Company stands ready to
pay them over $4,000 for the two tons OF
ore. 1t contains some free gold, but is
mostly telluride. Grab samples from GO
sacks assayed from $97 to $29s9 per ton
and one picked sample assayed ST. $40.
Although the claims are above timber
line and over 5000 feet above sea level
the news has so excited prospectors in
that region that claims have already beer
staked out all around them in the snow
for miles. The new discoveries are com
monty referred to as "the Klondike o.
the Lardeau."

THIRTY Persisted IN THE CARS.
Awful Railroad Wreck in Colorado
MANY Burned Bodies.

Newcastle, Col, Sept 1.-THE worst
railroad wreck in the history of Colorado
occurred at 1925 yesterday morning on
the joint track of the Denver & Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland railways,
one and half miles west of this place.
After IL hours of incessant work by the
wrecking crews in clearing away the de-
bris and rescuing the bodies of those who
persisted, it is yet impossible to secure
more than estimbate of the loss life, and
none of those known to be dead have
been identified. Many of the unfortu-
nate will never be known, and it is pos
sible that the number of killed will al
ways be in doubt. From the best infor-
nation obtainable now, fully 80 persons
are believed to have persisted, while Is
were taken out of the wreck suffering
serious injuries.
The list of the dead and injured so far
as known is as follows:
The dead, so far as recognized are: j.
F. keenan,, mail agent, of Denver; Rob-
ert S. Holland, fireman d. & R. g., OF
Salida; Mrs. Alex Hartman and two
sons, of Hercher, ILL.,; James IIerrick OF
Chicago; Charles Leeper of Clarion, Pa;
William Gordon, engineer of the passen'
ger train; William Hines, fireman.
The injured are: Rev. Alexander Hart
man of Hercher, ILL.,, both legs broken
John S. Stander of Blackfoot, Idaho, leg
broken and face CUT Miss Pearl Cornell
of Alciel, Or, hip sdilocated; j. G. Yea
ger of Toledo, Ohio, injured internally
j. Longman of Whittier, CAL. slightly
wounded; Mrs. Mary Israel of st. Paul
Mimi, slight injuries internally; j. +
Snyder of Independence, Kan, slight.
burned; d. H. McAneny of Victor, Col
face injured; O. V. Tyson of Cockrell, Gu
badly about head; R. H. Brickley of Chi
cago, back injured j. G. Young of st
Louis, cut in forehead; Thomas Nash o
,, Moab, Utah, left arm broken; Frank T
Mannix of Victor, Col, bruised AM
slightly burned; R. w. Shott of Leepel
Pa, badly bruised; Brakeman Knapp, le
crushed; James B. Foley, express messen
ger, bruised; William S. Missimer, eS
e press messenger, bruised.
g The wreck was caused by head-en
: collision between Denver l. Rio Grand
passenger train running at the rate of
k miles an hour, and special Colorad
|, Midland stock train running at spec
e of 80 miles. So terrific was the concui
J. sion that both engines, baggage and e'
IS press, smoker and day coach were total
2 demolished and the track torn up fC
% rods in both directions. To add to til
II horror of the scene the wreckage at ono
caught fire from an explosion of Pintsc
IS gas tank in the passenger train, an
v burned so rapidly that many passenge
lie pinned beneath the debris burned
t. death before help could reach them.
