Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1o.-A double
headed Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley freight train ran into the rear
end of an Omaha passenger train in the
yards, three blocks north of Locust

jured about the body. He lives at
Boone, la. Seven others We're seriously
and four slightly injured.
Couldn't Stop His Train.
The accident was due to the inabil-
ity Of the engineer, Mike Smith, of the
head engine No. 81 of the freight, to
stop his train. The freight, with 67
ahead, and with 700 in charge of En-
gineer Brandt behind, was just round

Supposed Track Was Clear.
The supposition that the track was
clear, as it should have been, caused
the engineers to continue on around

speed. Engineer Brandt said when the
engines passed the curve he saw the
motionless passenger train and whis-
tied for "down brakes" but before
this move could be made, the engine

children. Edgar Sutro, as one of the
beneficfaries, mortgaged his share of the
property, held in trust, to Spencer. Sub
sequently the plaintiff decided his rever-
sionary rights in the trust property to
his wife for her benefit and. their minor
son, A. G. Sutro. Mrs Sutro. now refuses
to recognize the validity of the mortgage
and Spencer declines to press his claim
for payment. Sutro prays the court to
his wife to recognize it. He ayers that
the interest is accommodating at the rate
of 8 per cent per year, compounded
monthly, and that in the event the debt
is not liquidated it will soon consume the
entire property.
1t is understood that the suit is a
friendly one, and filed for the purpose
of obtaining authority from the court to
pay off the mortgage. That in the event
the claim is an illegal one, Mrs. Sutro
may not be held for the funds paid out
as guardian of her child.
