IT FELL FROM A TRESTLE
Sharp Curvature OF the Track Threw
the Boat From the Three Cars
on Which 1t Had
Been Loaded.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Libby Creek, June 26.-One of tbe
most peculiar accidents in the history
q marine casualties occurred at Koo-
tenai Falls yesterday morning. There
are many ways in which a steamboat
may be wrecked, but 1t is believed that
this is the first time that a fun rugged
steam vessel has been lost by falling
from railroad train.
For the past three years the Inter-
national Transportation company ha IL
had a steamboat on the upper Kootenai
river. the Gwendoline, which has been
engaged in hauling ORE freight and
passengers between Fort Steele and
Jennings. The steamer was about rs
feet In length and when the trade fell
off, owing to the completion of the
Crows Nest Pass railway, Captain Mil
Ter conceived the idea Of taking the
boat to the lower Kootenai She was
accordingly taken down to Kootenai
Falls, III miles below here. A switch
was run down to the water from the
Great Northern tracks and the boat
loaded entire just as she was in the
water on three flat cars.
Captain Millers idea was to carry the
boat about two miles down the river
around the falls and put her back in
the river. The scheme was all right
but fell down on a small detail, as no
allowance had been made for the curva-
ture of the railroad track one mile be-
low Kootenai Falls station. There is
high trestle built on a sharp curve,
the curvature of the track, combined
with the elevation of the outer rail.
upset the steamer and she fell off the
ia "a
boat turned over in falling and landed
exactly upside down on the rocks, rs
feet below, only few splinters and
some scrap iron remaining of what was
a $4,000 boat.
The loss falls entirely on the trans
portation company, as the railroad
company had a special contract which
relieves 1t of all responsibility for the
safe delivery of the boat. The boat was
covered by marine insurance, but no
demand will be made for the payment
of the policy.

selves After They Have
a Fair Start.

Manila, June rs, p. m.-Senor Luis
Marinas, the first Spanish consul gem
eral at the Philippine islands, has ar
rived here from Singapore on board the
Isle de Luzon.
Great interest is taken in the result
of the step, which is now being taken
here in the direction of self govern
ment. The supreme court is sitting
daily and the American and Filipino
judges are holding consultations
through an interpreter. An unanimous
vote is required for decision. Major
General Otis has persuaded Major
Young of the Utah battery to remain
on the court for time, after the bat

absent.
The native judges will now begin to
hold criminal courts, having jurisdic-

WAS A FRU|TLESS CHASE
Robbers Safe in the Hole-in-the-
Wall.
AN INCREASE IN REWARD
Sheriff Dunn Places No Credence in
the Dillon Story-The Blood Hounds
Put on the Trail Were a
Failure.
Special Dispatch to the Standard

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
z Red Lodge, June 26.-After a fruit
less chase of 10 days in quest of the
Union Pacific train robbers, Sheriff
Dunn this afternoon returned from
Wyoming. leaving the other two menu
bers of the posse under Sheriff Beilare
of Livingston and Stock Detective Dick
Hicks Of Billings at Bridger on the way
home.
Sheriff Dunn says his posse never got
nearer the outlaws than "a hours and
that was week ago in the Sinking
Water country The posse trailed the
robbers through a broken country into
; the open and then lost the trail through
the strategy of the desperadoes mixing
with range horse tracks. Sheriff Dunn
places no credence in the Dillon story
about the identification of the suspects
in Jail there as the Roberts brothers.
: He says his posse was on the trail of
one of the Roberts brothers, Bob Taylor
and George Hayes. and that the other
three robbers struck off across the trail
and headed for Wyoming a few days
after the fight in which the sheriff was
killed. The three robbers trailed by
Sheriff Dunn and posse stole horses and
demanded of the owner to know the
whereabouts of the id posse" and
when told they We're somewhere in the
Sinking Water country, the robbers
said:
TELL them We'll camp at Lost Cabin
No. 2, and if they want us they had
better come right up and take us"
1t was subsequently learned that the
robbers did camp that night just where
they said they would. Sheriff Dunn
says he thinks the three robbers RATED
across the Big Horn river twice and
are either headed for or safe in their
notorious rendezvous, the Hole-in-the-
Wall. He says the blood hounds put on
the trail were failure and that the
chase for the present has been virtually
abandoned.
The reward has been increased to
$500 per man in the hope that this
sum will be an inducement for some
friends of the gang to turn traitor and
lead the officers to the robbers roost.

a general roundup meeting held at the
Grand Pacific hotel Friday afternoon.
After four hours of discussion behind
closed doors it was decided to withdraw
Mr.. Hopkins name and support Hen
derson. The conference was perfectly
harmonious. Mr.. Hopkins made state
ment, in which he declared that to fur
Their prolong his candidacy might re-
suit in embarrassment to the success

harmony in the party. His withdrawal
and the subsequent action of the Illinois
