MIDLAND IS RESPONSIBLE.
Important Decision Concerning the
Newcastle Train Wreck.

Newcastle Train Wreck.
Denver, July Hustle Brewer of
the United States supreme court, sit
ting with Judge Caldwell of the circuit
court, today announced the courts de-
cision placing upon the Colorado Mid
land Railroad company the RESPONSE
bility for the collision between Den
yer & Rio Grande passenger train and
a Midland cattle train on Sept. 10 last,
by which a score or more of paSSen-
gers were killed. In an opinion taking
three quarters of an hour in delivery,
the report, as rendered by Judge Knae-
bel, special master in chancery, ap-
pointed by the court to take the testi-
mony and consider both sides of the
controversy, was sustained.
The effect of the decision is TO make
il the duty of the Colorado Midland
road to reimburse the Rio Grande for
all losses that the latter has sustained
OF that may be proved against 1t here
after, arising from the wreck. 1t also
establishes a lien upon all the prop
erty of the Colorado Midland to secure
the payment OF the same.
The principal contention of the Colo
RADIO Midland was that the responsible
ity ought to be joint, for the reason
that both trains were, at the time of
the collision, upon a track Jointly used
and under orders as to the movements
given by a joint superintendent. JUS
tice Brewer held that the fault was
not in the orders, but in the manner
of their execution by the Midland
train crew.

FREiCHMEN BROUGHT TO TINE
NARROWLY ESCAPED SHARING
CERVERA'S FATE.
Gunboat Ignored the Rules at Guam
tanamo and the Marblehead Was
Cleared For Action.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
Playa Del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July
IA French gunboat of about 1000 tons
displacement, attempted to come into the
harbor about dusk tonight without per-
mission, and met with surprise party.
The cruiser Marblehead fired a blank shot
as the gunboat came into the entrance 10
the harbor. but no attention was paid to
this, and shot from a siX-Dounder was
sent across her bows. This. too. was dis
regarded, the gunboat coming along under
full steam. For few minutes it looked
as II a row was possible. The trumpets
on the Marblehead rang out a call to
quarters and another shot was sent across
the Frenchmans bows, this time in I'M
comfortable proximity. That warning
was sufficient, however, and the French
man stopped with extreme suddenness.
1t is against naval custom for war
vessel of one nation to enter a port which
vessels OF another nation are blockadng,
unless permission is granted. The captain
OF the French Sunboat was either in igno-
rance of the American occupation or
chose to disregard it until forcibly re-
minded of the fact by Commodore Nc
Gala.
The gunhoat was allowed to anchor in
the lower bay for tho night

NEVADA BANDITS ROB A TRAIN
DARING HoLDUP ON soUTEERN
PACIFIC.
Two Masked Men Stopped the Train
Near Humboldt and Blew Open
the Express Safe.

Winnemucca, New, July 1.-THE first
and most daring train robbery for
years on the Truckee division of the
Southern Pacific occurred this morning
two miles east of Humboldt Two
masked robbers held up the eastbound
express train, No. l, Engineer Wick
land and Fireman McDermott were
taken off the engine and compelled TO
go to the express car, the robbers
climbing over the tender and covering
them with a revolver and Winchester
rifle.
The robbers blew open the express
car door with dynamite and also blew
the safe open. The car was complete
ly demolished. The amount secured is
not known. No one was hurt in the
explosion. Sheriff McDeid Of Hum
bOldt county and 4 posse are in close
pursuit, and it is believed the robbers
will be captured, as they only had a
few hours start of the officers.
Fireman McDermott said: "A mile
east of Humboldt l heard a noise on
the back end of the tank, and looking
up. saw two men climbing over the
coal. One had a rifle, which he pointed
at me, and the other covered the en-
gineer with a pistol. They kept us
covered until they reached the gang
way, and one of them told the en-
gineer to stop the engine. He did SO
and the men told US to get off the en-
CINE and go with them. 1 asked if I
could put on the injector, so that the
engine would not burn up. and 1 was
told I could. They kept the guns on US
while they waited.
They babe us leave the engine, and
followed US to the express car. After
firing a few shots in the ground, they
told US to knock on the door of the
car and to tell the messenger who we
were and not to shoot We did, and
the one with the pistol knocked on the
door and called TO the messenger to
open the door. Instead of opening the
door, the messenger put out the
lights.
THE robbers then put a small stick
of giant powder under the door and
touched it off, saying, L guess that
will fetch him." The door was partly
blown open. They called the messen-
ger again. This time ne came to the
door. but they sent him back TO light
the lamp. He was then told TO climb
out of the car and be a good fellow
After the messenger came out of the
car the rohber climbed in and placed
a large dynamite cartridge near the
door of the safe and. after lighting the
fuse, jumped out and we went ahead
as far as the engine and waited for
the explosion. The report was terrific
We could see the sides of the car burst
out and the roof raise. After a few
moments we all went back, and while
one of the men kept us covered, the
other went in the car and placed
what valuables he could find in a sack
After ransacking the treasure boxes he
came out The engineer, messenger
and myself were told to join hands
and walk ahead. After walking away

If Hot Time II Old Town" doesnt
become a national air, it will not be
the fault of the people who cheer the
bands when they play it.
1t was a hot time in old town" last
evening, and, for that matter, all yes
terday afternoon and evening.
The news that Santiago had fallen
was received at The Herald Office at a
few minutes after u yesterday, and IN
30 seconds from the instant the bulletin
announcing the surrender was read IN
5he office. The Herald's shotgun brigade
was announcing the tidinSs. Before
the man who writes the bulletins Which
convey the news to the waiting people
at the boards could pen the hrst three
words. the reports of The Herald Suas
were waking the people up 10 the tact
that something had happened, and, as
II was expected this time, everyone VINO
listened knew instinctiveiy what the
matter was
The engineer at the electric light
works heard the sound, and imme-
oiately graSped the string OF ms
whistle, pulled it down and tied 1t on
q nail while he and the balance went
cut 20 cheer.
ALL WHISTLES BLEW
Down town people heard the whistle.
ard at first thought it was the 12:S0
signal for the resumption Of work. But
the continued tooting aroused them 10
the fact that something unusual had
happened, and when the other whistles
in town took up the refrain, Siadness
reigned all over the city. 1t wasn't
but a minute ere every whistle IN the
city was going for all it was worth,
from the shrill signal on the Troy laun-
dry out east. to the big steam gong at
the Rio Grande on the west.
Then every fellow shook every other
fellows hand, and the small boys raised
their voices. men began firing cannon
crackers, and joy reigned a king, queen,
jack AID ace from that time until q
late hour this morning..
SHORT LINE BULLETINS.
At the Oregon Short Line offices
business was suspended. Jack Reeves,
Tooker and a lot more made a hastT
canvass of the offices, collected every
thing in the shape Of money they could
get hold of. and went over on CONNER
ciaI street and bought out two China
men, coming back to the building,
where, under the supervision OF Arti!-
le-ist Barnes. they held q noisy cele-
bration which lasted until the entire
SIS worth was burned up.
Chief Clerk Morris was the only man
wounded He owes a sore hand to his
a piece OF lighted punk, and had lit a
Cannon cracker. when another man
asked him for ? light from his punk.
Forgetting that he held the cracker, in
his desire to accommodate his fellow
employee. Morris held on 10 the ex-
plosive until it went off, burning his
hand quite severely.
That was the only episode of the
celebration.
CROWDS GATHERED.
Immense crowds assembled at The
Herald to read the news, and the bull
letin board was thronged all afternoon.
Everyone knew instinctiVely that Gel
ebration would be held, and when
bulletin was posted announcing that
Held's band had volunteered to head
the parade. there was great rejoicing.
Although cannon firing was INDUCED in
during the afternoon, it was evident
that all were going 10 wait until even
ing before making any heavy Demon
Etra ton.
