Six in the Wreck.

Further details concerning the Ia
coma wreck say that Mrs. Charles
Lee, daughter Of Slas Baker, had her
five children with her on the trolley
car which made the fearful plunge.
Richard, one of pair Of twins, was
killed; Mrs. Lee and the other four
children were severely injured. The
wonder is that all were not killed.
W. S. Anderson who has visited in
Tacoma says the place where the ac-
cident occurred is terror. The
trolley line runs down an incline
fully as long and steep as the 9th
street incline at the Kansas City
union depot but at the bottom passes
over a gulch 100 feet deep, the track
being supported on high trestlework
without any side guards to hold the
car if it jumps the track, as happened
in this instance. The car was crowd.
ed with people and after descending
the hill plunged into the ravine.
Thirty-six we're killed.

Her Injury Not Serious.

Col. and Mrs. E. G. Little returned
from Kansas City, The latter was
not seriously hurt in the trouble at
Convention hall. The facts are that
some police officers were putting a
man out Of the crowd, who was car
rying pole on which banner was
hung. The officers were showing the
man and pole along with little regard
for the safety Of the people and the
long pole was thrust out through the
crowd and struck Mrs, Little just
above the eye, cutting her face The
blow and sight Of blood caused her to
cry out and Col. Little tolo the flicer
he considered him careless brute.
Just at this juncture, Col. Little says,
police captain ran up to him and
cursing him tried 10 force MIN ba k

crowd of friends that gathered Col.
Little says If he can get the captains
name he will file charges against him
for his profanity and offensive talk.

HIT BY A POLICEMAN.
Mrs.. E. c. Little Il Struck in the Face
bya Billy.

A policeman al Convention nall IN
Kansas City struck Mrs. E. c. Little
in the face Thursday at ernoon in
flicting a painful bruise. Some men
rushed the crowd in the main en-
trance to the ball and the police In
charge tried to check the stream Of
humanity that came pouring through
the gate. Colonel and Mrs. Little
were in front, aud big policeman
swung with bis right, catching Mrs
Little on the cheek. The force OF the
blow was broken by the crush OF the
people. else it might have resulted
seriously.
Mrs. Little screamed and fell into
her hus bands arms. A score OF peo.
pie saw the policeman strike Mrs
Little and cried "shame!" shame"
Colonel Little, holding his wife with
his left hand, shook his right fist in
the policeman's face and called him a
coward. A Texan got excited and
said he guessed he would take shot
at the officer on general principles.
He pulled a gun but his little daugh-
ter made him put it back in his
pocket.
Ex-Attorney General l.. c. Boyle,
who is now a power behind the Dem.
ocratic throne in Kansas City, seeing
that riot was imminent, whispered
to a sergeant, who ordered the police
man out Of sight. Mr.. Boyle and the
sergeant escorted Colonel and Mrs.
Little to their seats with assurances
that that the policeman would be
punished.
The policeman sent word to Colonel
Little that the blow was an accident.
This, perhaps, is true, but it is likely
that the officer will lose his star for
losing his head.
Last night Mrs. Titles face was
badly swollen, but she was able to
again brave the jam and the police.

PUT HIN OFF AT HOPE.
Saline County Shipped Out a Small
pox Patient.

PVA kStA0nr
A remarkable case has just occurred
in the handling Of a smallpox patient
who was sent from Salina. At thu
Missouri Pacific depot in Salina Fri
day morning, according to the Salins
papers, a young man Of nineteen OF
twenty, heavy.set and clad in brown
jacket, blue overalls and a broad
trimmed white felt hat, approached
the depot and sat down in the door
way. For a little time he sat unno.
ticed, but soon someone took square
look at him and exclaimed. "l'll bet
that fellow has the small pox"
Naturally the man was the object
Of interest to everyone in a moment.
His hands and face were Of reddish
purple ana literally covered with lit.
tie white welts. People drew their
clothes more closely about them and
began TO withdraw from the neigh.
borhood. Pretty soon the man arose
and walked down the platform little
way, crossed the track and sat down
upon pile Of ties behind a box car.
The Salina Union goes on to say
that: Enquiry revealed the fact that
he had come in on the Missouri Paci-
fic from the west the night before and
that he intended to 90 farther east.
Some one 'phoned up to the police
station that smallpox suspect was
at the Missouri Pacific depot and just
as the train pulled in, a couple Of
policemen put in their appearance to
urge the suspect to leave town.
However, as the train came into sight
the man who had created the stir
walked into the depot and bought a
ticket to Gypsum City. A moment
later he disappeared into the smoker.
Assistant Marshal Beard telephoned
to Gypsum and notified the marshal
there concerning the matter. Later
a phone message from Gypsum to
the Union stated that the man was
not allowed to get off the train there
but was sent on further east"
After this remarkable display Of
nerve the man was carried near
Hope where he was put off the trsin.
He walked into Hope Friday evening
and the people were greatly alarmed.
Hope has just had siege Of smallpox
and did not want any more. A tele-
phone message to Abilene said that
it was intended to ship the patient
here but County Health Officer Haz.
lett forbade it and ordered him quar-
antined and cared for at once in Hope.
The action Of the Saline county
officers, II correctly reported by the
Salina papers, is almost beyond be.
lief. 1t seems incredible that they
would with deliberation send a small
pox patient on the train to spread
the disease among passengers and in
other communities. II true Saline
county ought to be liable for heavy
damages.
The patient is kept in tent near
Hope.

1T WAS A FAKE.
The Truth About The Gibson Con-
lesson.

The story which was recently given
circulation by an Abilene paper that
Rev. Mr.. Gibson, pastor Of the En-
manuel Baptist church in San Fran
cisco, had confessed to the murder CT
Blanche Lamont, for which Theodore
Durrant was hanged, has been author.
itatively denied. The Salina Union
has this to say Of the matter:
In order to learn whether there had
ever been any foundation for the
starting Of such story Salina gen.
tleman, who met Gibson when the lat.
ter visited in Salina few years ago,
wrote to the San Francisco Call and
asked about it. He has just received
the following reply:
"SAN Francisco, June 80, 1900.
"Sir-The story in the clipping &C.
companying your letter Of inquiry
dated June ~ is without foundation.
Rev. Gibson never made any such
confession. He is still alive and
still pastor Of the Emmanuel Baptist
church in which the girls Lamont
and Williams were murdered. An.
swers to correspondence.
~. C. SCoTT."
There was no excuse for the publ
cation Of such story, because even
person with no pretentions to being
a newspaper man would have Known
that II it had been true IL would have
been published in every metropolitan
paper in the United States and
Europe.
