A COLLISION.
Omaha Freight Engine is Par
tally Wrecked.
Runs Into a Milwaukee Freight Car
Saturday Afternoon.-.NO One is
Injured.

The storm Saturday afternoon was the
cause of an accident on the levee not
far from the big mill cooper shop. The
Milwaukee track crosses the Omaha
and Northwestern tracks at this point.
Freight train No. 104, on the:Milwaukee
tracks. was being made up, and was
doing some switching. 1t was in
charge of Conductor Root and Engineer
McHugh. Just as it was pulling off of
the crossing and while the rear freight
car was still on the crossing, way
freight train No. 81, on the Omaha
road, came in from Kasota, in charge
of Conductor Flood and Engineer
Bartlett.
The dust, snow and smoke, blown by
the heavy gale, made it impossible to
see ahead any distance. The southern
gate of the crossing was closed, and
the gate tender was running to close
the other, wien the Omaha engine,
No. 100, crashed into the rear car of
the Milwaukee train. The car was
torn in two and the rear trucks left by
themselves. The south gate was also
demolished The engine suffered much
damage, the front end of the boiler be-
ing broken in, the cab demolished and
other parts broken or bent. The
engine plowed right through the
end of the freight car, which,
together with the gate, occasioned the
damage to the cab The front end of
the first freight car was also stove in.
The engine carried away considerable
wreckage from the Milwaukee car.
Fortunately no one was injured,
which is remarkable, considering the
extent of the damage done. Another
engine was secured and pushed the
Omaha train down into the yards.
The accident occurred at 2:05 p. m
No one seems to have been particularly
at fault, unless it was in not closing
the north gate more promptly. The
smoke from engine 100 blew ahead over
the track and it is possible that the ac-
cident might have happened even If the
gate had been closed. The engine will
need a thorough overhauling at the
shops, while the Milwaukee freight car
is complete wreck. The Car contained

Judge Cray Saturday filed his decision
in the suit of Herman H Born VS., Frances

Il am not at all satisfied that either
party hereto has proved by fair pre-
ponderance of the evidence. cruel and

WAR CT AIMS OF NEVADA
Newlands Makes an Able Ar
gument in Support Of
Them

When the Shndry Civil bill was uu-
der consideration In the Senate, Sena-
tor Stewart introduced an amendment
providing for the payment Of the long
standing Nevada war claims, which |
were for bounty and extra pay to the
Nevada volunteers during the Civil
War. The claims aggregated about
sos, 900 for principal and over 5000
600 for interest. The bill containing
this amendment vent to the conferees
of the Senate and House The con-
ferees of the House refused to agree,
ard reported disagreement in the
House. Mr.. Newlands. after solicit
ing the assistance of many Represen-
tatives and writing letters to the dit
ferent members requesting their aid,
stating among other things that the
entire State debt of Nevada had its
source in the pay ments made during
the Civil war, moved that the House
recede and concur in the Senate
amendment, whereupon Mr.. Moody
of Massachusetts, one o. the conferees
took the floor in oppc sition to the
bill, claiming that the allowance of
Nevada's claim would bring down
upon the treasury the claims o, all
the various States that had paid
bounties and extra pay. Among
them he stated that Pennsylvania had
paid bounties ranging from $500 to
$4S4. and New Jersey from S52o to
$625; that his own State, Massachu-
sets, instead of paying bounties had
paid simply extra pay.
Mr.. New lands made an able and
iorceful argument in support Of the
claim. He carefully outlined he con
ditions that existed on the Pacific
Coast at that time; showed that the
soldiers were paid in greenbacks
which at that time were worth bu
fifty cents on the dollar; pictured ths
exciting times owing to the discover,
of the great Comstock lode, raising a.
it did the price Of all commodities
which were hic her there than in any
other State in the Union owing to tn,
high freight rates paid for bringins

die1s. namely, thirteen dollats i,
greenbacks, would buy but eight dol
lars worth of goods, aud those at sue
