dead, one missing probably inciner-
ated) and fourteen injured, two Of
whom will likely die, is the record Of
the terrible head-end collision on the
Santa Fe as far as known. The first
lists were mixed because of the con-
fusion attending the wreck, and all
day names on the list of injured have
been transferred to that of the dead.
Even now it is not known that the list
given is complete, as it is believed that
several were burned to death and
nothing left by which they could be
recognized. The bodies Of eleven have
beer. found in the debris, three burned
beyond recognition.

which strewed the ground. One tried
to snatch a diamond from the breast
Of an Emporia doctor, who, weak and
nervous, was creeping slowly up the
debris. He had strength enough left
to hit the bruit blow in the face
which made him turn with curse
and sueak away. Mail sacks were
dragged into the corn field and rified.
The report at the Kansas City office is
that practically all of the mail on both
of the wrecked trains was destroyed.
One pouch, however, for Southern Cal
ifOrnia is said to have been saved.
No official reports have been received.

STATES STRONG CASE.
Outlook For Luetsxert II Decidedly
s.s-..s. Gloomy.

Outlook For Luetxert Ii Decidedly
Chicago, Sept. 9.-Two strong points
have been. scored by the prosecution
in the Luetgert trial, and unless the
defense is able to impeach the testi-
mOny Of the witnesses, their evidence
is likely to have considerable weight
with the Jury. The two witnesses
were Nicholas Faber, who testified
that on the night Of May 1 he saw
I.uetgcrt and his wife enter the sdu-
sage factory, and Charles Hengst, who
swOre that on the night Of May he
passed the factory and heard a. cry
from within as though some one was
in pain. At the hearing before the
police Justice by whom Luetgert was
held to await the action OF the grand
jury, Hengst said that he could not
tell whether the cry was that of q hui.
man being or an animal. To-day he
said, however, that he was confident
that the cry was from human being.
The defense relies greatly ON the state
ment he made before the trial to i'm.
peach his testimony.
The reading Of the love letters which
had been written by Luetgert to Mrs.
Beldt was great fun for the crowd In
the court room and It was very em-
barrassing for the defendant. In sew
eldl Of them he had spoken in a slight
ing manner Of the lawyers who are
now conducting his defense. r
The defense made a strong fight
against the introduction Of the letters,
and when the court decided that they
were proper evidence, the defense
asked that they be read in German as
they might lose some Of their original
meaning. by being read in English.
This the court also overruled, and the
letters went before the jury as the
translator made them out, he, howev-.
er, swearing that the translation was
entirely correct.

DIR. Wyman has taken measures to
strengthen the border line inspection
service already inaugurated by the
States of Alabama and Louisiana to
prevent the spread of the disease.
Measures have also been taken by, the
surgeon general to ascertain the cor
rectness of the reports that yellow fe-
yer has developed at other points in
Mississippi, notably ut Parkinton and
at Scranton, where DIR. Sullivan is
said to have reported two suspicious
cases to the president of the Louisiana
bOnrd of health.
New Orleans, Sept. 11.-Up to night

fever situation. Two or three sus-
picious cases had been reported to the
board Of health, a material falling Off
from the previous day, when there
were thirty-seven. These were in-

Oliphant and his corps realize that
they have but one battle at present,
that of preventing any more importa-
lions from the coast towns of Biloxi
and Ocean Springs.
The three cases heretofore reported
as existing at Biloxi have been con-
