VICTIMS OF THE WRECK.
Bodies of Engineer Hackett and
Fireman Lightner Brought Here.

The bodies OF Engineer Don z. Hack
EFT and Fireman Edward Lightner, who
were killed in the railroad accident near
Colfax on Tuesday afternoon, arrived
in this city shortly before 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and were taken TO
Clarks undertaking parlors. During
the afternoon and evening many friends
of both the men viewed the remains
The body Of Fireman Lightner was
found yesterday morning beneath the
tender Of the second locomotive. He
was horribly mangled, and death must
have been instantaneous
Lightner was firing on the forward
engine, and Engineer Brown states
that 20 the best of his recollection he
was standing in the gangway between
the cab and the tender when the loco
motive jumped the track He was
evidently thrown to the ground in such
manner as to be crushed beneath the
weight of the tender of the second
locomotive.
The track was cleared shortly after
l o'clock yesterday, and trains are
again running as usual.
1t is now believed that a breakage
in the forward engine was responsible
Tor the wreck. After the debris had
been cleared away it was found that
the track was intact and that the
rails had not spread, but peculiar in
dentauonS in the ties gave rise to the
bellef that some heavy ironWork un-
der the locomotive had given way.

DOWN AND OUT.
p. Sullivan Ousted as Trustee of
American River School District.

In July, 1896, there was a bitterly
fought election contest tried in Judge
Catlin's court, the issue having being
precipitated by Edward Faltrick, who
contested the election of p. Sullivan
as Trustee in American River School
District, the plaintiff holding that B.
Feraut had received a majority of the
legal ballots cast, the contention being
that certain citizens who voted for
Sullivan We're not registered fifteen
days prior to the election.
The trial court held that the amend
ment of 1893 to the election law re-
quiring registration fifteen days prior
to the day of election did not apply to
school elections, and declared Sullivan
entitled TO the office of Trustee
Falltrick's attorenys, Holl & Dunn,
appealed the case to the Supreme
Court, and that tribunal has rendered its
decision in the matter. 1t holds that
the ballots of those who were not reg
istered fifteen days prior to the elec.
tion were Illegal, and remands the
case to the trial court
In the meantime Feraut has become
resident of this city, and is therefore
no longer eligible to the Trusteeship.
The result viii probably be a special
election to fill the place held by Sui
livan, with the latter a candidate to
succeed himself

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Tom Graves, at Mt. Pleasant, Shot by
Wnlie Gray.
JOHN A CAKES, Residence,
Citizens telephone No. B;

Tom Graves, at Mt. Pleasant, Shot by
Willie Gray.
A most unfortunate accident &C.
Cured at Mt. Pleasant last Sunday
evening between and Z o'clock,
which resulted in the death of Tom
Graves, a l5-year- old boy.
Willie Gray, aged Is, and COM
panion were in the store of Gray q
Hill at the time, the senior member
of the firm, Mr.. A. 7. Gray, being
the father Of Willie Gray. Gray
was fooling with pistol, which had
gotten out of work, and just as
Young Graves entered the door he
snapped the trigger accidentally,
firing the pistol and sending a bull
let through Graves brain. The
ball entered the forehead, and death
was instantaneous.
Afterwards, Gray became so griev-
ed and mortified over the killing
that he attempted to take his own
life, but was prevented from doing
so by his friends. The shooting was
purely accidental, and the affair is
very much deplored. Both boys are
members of highly respected fami-
lies.
