DEPUTIES BLAMED.
It Is Said That There Was Absolutely
No Necessifu In. the ShooAine

No Necessity for the Shooting.
HAzLETON. Pa, Sept 13.-Indigna-
ton against the deputies is running
high and the charge is publicly
made that there was absolutely no ne
cessity for the shooting. The miners
it is declared, were not armed in any
way, and if the deputies feared trouble
a single shot over their heads would
have dispersed them. The fact is I'M
disputed that many of the victims
were shot through the back while fly
ing from the guns of the deputies.
To all intents and purposes Hazelton
is under martial law. General Goblin
declared last night that in spite of the
warrants issued no constable or civic
authority will be permitted to arrest
the deputies. He said that the sheriff
is an executive officer whose duty is to
preserve the peace and he. Goblin, and
the troops are really subordinate to
the sheriff at this time, being engaged
in helping him to perform that duty.
Under these circumstances he will not
permit interference with the sheriff s
officials SO long as the militia is here.
In spite of this fine distinction, the
commanders decision on this point is
accepted as superseding the civil au-
thorities by the military power,

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Sept 13.-Secretary
J. r. Rippey, of the state board of
agriculture estimates the fruit crop of
Missouri to be worth SIS. 600, 900. The
apples, by reason of high color. supe-
rior flavor and good shipping qualities
will command an extra price. Every
variety of apples has done we'll.
More orchards have been planted in
Missouri during the last two years
than in any other state in the union,
Colonel Rippey says:
Thousands of acres are being set
in grapes. One ton of Missouri grapes
will make as much wine as two tons
of California grapes. The Missouri
pear is selling as high as 81 bushel.
The peach crop this year is unsur-
passed. One farmer has sold $1,000
bushels Another reports Sl,6S5 worth
of peaches from six acres. Five coun-
ties in Southwest Missouri have re-
ported 600. 600 bushels For fruit of
all kinds Missouri is admitted to lead

NEWCASTLE, Col, sept. 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history Of thu state
of Colorado occurred at 1928 yesterday
morning on the joint track Of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande and the Colorado
Midland railways. one and half
miles west of here. After twelve
hours incessant work by the wrScking
crews in clearing away the debris and
rescuing the bodies of those who per-
ished, it is yet impossible to ,ecure
more than an estimate of the Ids of
life, and not even those knownlto be
dead have been identified. Many of
the unfortunates will never be known.
and it is possible that the ny mber
killed will always be in doubt. From
the best information obtainabls now
fully thirty persons are believed to
have persisted, while 1S5 who came out
of the wreck alive are suffering from
serious injuries.
The wreck was caused by ahead-
end collision between Denver g. Rio
Gran6e passenger train, running at
the rate of forty miles an hour, and q
special Colorado Midland stock train,
running at speed of proba oily thirty
miles an hour. So terrific was the
conclusion that both engines, baggage
and express cars. smoker and day
coaches and two stock cars were to-
tally demolished and the track torn
up for rods in each direction. To add
to the horror of the scene, the wreck
age at once caught fire from an ex'
plosion of a Pintsch gas tank on the
passenger train, and burned so rapidly
that many passengers, pinned beneath
the debris were burned to death be-
fore help could reach them.
The most generally accepted theory
as to the cause of the wreck is that
Conductor Burbank of the Midland
special, anticipating the time of the
passenger, undertook to ''steal sta
ton" and beat the passenger into
Newcastle. Burbank escaped unin-
jured, and, upon orders from Coroner
Clark, has been placed under arrest
by the sheriff. Midland Engineer Os-
trander is missing, and a thorough
search all about his engine fails to
reveal any vestige of his remains. 1t
is thought that when he saw the
threatened danger he jumped from his
engine and, realizing his negligence.
took to the hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Strouse, who
live one-fourth of mile from the
scene of the accident. report that when
the two trains met the shock was SO
great as to literally hurl them out of
bed. Some say the noise was heard
and the shock felt in Newcastle.
The most conservative estimate
five to thirty-five. The remains of
what is supposed to be ten persons are
confined in two caskets. with nothing
to identify them.

NEWCASTLE, Colo, Sept 13.-The

ANOTHER BAD WRECK.

| Seven Killed and Six Injured in the
Indian Territory.
VAN buren,, Ark, Sept. IA most
disastrous freight wreck occurred on
the Iron Mountain road at Hanson, l.
! T., small station twenty miles west
of Van Buren,, at 9 o'clock yesterday,
resulting in the death of seven men
and the serious injury of six others,
two of whom will die.
The dead are: Will Fame, Charles
Fame. Douglass Anderson. John John
son. Bose Henderson, Frank Hamilton
and II. A. Walton.
The injured are: George Coffman.
Jack Jones. James Phillips, Robert
Eurbanks, Charles Fender and George
Parker.
OF the wounded it is thought that
two will die, as they suffer internal
injuries. All of the dead and wounded
were sent to Wan, with the exception
of Walton's body, it being brought to
this place, where he has relatives liv-
ing None of the trainmen were hurt.
The wrecked train was local

to Van Buren,. While the train was
running at speed of twenty miles an
hour. the forward trucks of one of the
cars near the engine broke, wrecl1ing
fifteen cars loaded with walnut logs
and bailed hay. With the exception
of two cars in front aid three cars in
the rear, including the caboose, every
car of the twenty was wrecked.
In the middle CT the train was a car
loaded with heavy machinery, and it
was in this car that thirteen men were
stealing a ride, and from which seven
dead and six seriously wounded were
taken by the trainmen shortly after
ward. 1t appears that the occupants
of the wrecked car were party of
men and boys living at Wan, Ind. Ter,
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 the men
being caught in the heavy beams. A
car of logs were piled on top of the
one in which the men were riding,
and that any escaped instant death is
but little short of miracle.

noteworthy. Although the game is

was due to the promptness with which

One of the topics discussed by the
Kansas Congregational Association at
it's recent meeting in Centralia was
women's hats in church. 1t was a very
one-sided discussion. Nearly every
speaker was of the opinion that the
women should take off the hats. To be
sure Paul wrote to the Corinthians,
Every woman that -prayeth or
prophesieth with her head uncovered
dishonoreth her head" but perhaps the
statute of limitations has run against
Paurs notions in Kansas. Anyhow, 4
dispatch from Hiawatha, that state,
reports: In conformity to the deci-
sion a number of Hiawatha women ap-
peared at prayer meeting, Thursday

door. They also appeared in church
