SIXTEEN KILLED
IN TRAIN WRECK.
Fire Added to Horrors of Catastrophe, the
Train Being Consumed-Thirty
Ssrtousty In iured.

Seriously Injured.
The Chicago & Atoms vestibuled
limited passenger train, bound from
Chicago to Kansas City, collided with
a fast livestock train between Mar
shall and Norton, Mo-, shortly after
7;3o o'clock Wednesday morning, Six
teen were killed and thirty are in Kan
sas City hospitals.
The trains collided head-on. The
engines were pushed to either side OF
the track, the baggage and chair cars
were piled on top of the engines, the
dining car was tipped over snd the for
ward cars OF the train telescoped.
The engines were SO completely de-
molished that the fire under the boilers
was scattered in every direction and
falling on the woodwork of the over
turned cars, set fire to them quickly.
Freight cars were piled on top of the
engines and several of them were
burned. The mad believing of the
cattle was mingled with the shrieks of
men and women.
Many Of the passengers were inn
steam poured in upon them. They
prayed aloud and pleaded with the
rescuers to lend a helping hand They
were taken out as rapidly as possible,
but there were not enough helpers to
prevent the awful burnings which
many were subjected to.
The passenger train was travelling
In three sections on account of the
heavy Epworth league business to San
Francisco. The wrecked train was the
first section, and contained few leag-
uers. Conductor McAnna of the freight
train, eastbound, had been ordered to
meet the second section of the passen-
ger at Slater, the next station east of
Norton, but apparently overlooked the
fact that the first section, which was
tifty-fve minutes late, had not passed.
The front brakeman on the freight,
who was about four cars from the en-
gine, says Conductor McAnna assumed
the throttle himself on leaving Mar
shall, and was running the engine
when the collision accured.
The trains met two miles west of
Norton on a curve surmounting high
embankment while going at a rapid
rate, the engines being demolished and
the forward cars telescoped, the COM
bination smoker and the baggage car
being pushed in to the space of one car
by the terrific impact of the collision.

YOUNG SALT LAKE BOY
KILLS MOTHERS ASSAiLANT.
Heward Young, Ia Years of Age. With =
Rock, Kills An Aged Man.


Filled with rage at the sight of an as
sault upon his mother last Monday
night. Howard Young, the 14-year-old
son of Mrs. H. o. Young, the proprietor
of rooming house in Salt Lake
City, hurled a stone at the head of
James L. Davis, an aged saloon porter,
who had struck his mother In the face.
The stone inflicted a wound from the
effects of which Davis died Thursday
night at the Keogh-McKenna hospital
from blood poison.
As soon as the death OF Davis was
made known to the police, Young and
his mother were placed under arrest,
and are now in the custody of the Of
fcers, awaiting the result Of an in
quest to be held over the body of
Davis. No charge has been filed
against either of the prisoners, but it
is said that the boy may have to face
one of murder or manslaughter. Young
and his mother made no effort to elude
the officers, but surrendered them
selves into custody and told straight
forward story of the tragedy.
Howard Young and his 13-year-old
brother Jay had removed couple of
flags that had decorated an upstairs
window in the rooming house. which
is their home, and were playing with
the flags when they were approached
by Davis, who was engaged as a porter
at the saloon and rooming house. He
informed the boys that the flags be.
longed to him and that they must sur.
render. According to the story re.
lated by the lads and their mother,
Howard at once handed over the flag
which he held, but Jay Haunted the
| flag in the face of the old man and
turned to run away. Davis followed
him. whereupon the lad turned and
gave up the flag. The old man, 1t ia
said by eye witnesses, upon getting
hold of the flag, struck the boy a Sc.
we're blow across the face, causing him
to scream with pain.
| His cries attracted Mrs. Young, who
hurried to his side, and after soothing
him, turned and slapped Davis in the
face, with the statement that she could
thrash any man who so mistreated ONE
of her children. 1t is said that Davis
at once struck at her, but the blow fell
short and he struck again, hitting her
| in the face. At that moment Howard
stepped frorh the street with large
rock in his hand and felled the aged
man by striking him in the back of
the head, making the remark that nc
man could hurt his mother while he
was about Davis was not considered
badly hurt, and was not taken to the
hospital until two days later. Blood
poisoning set in, and what otherwise
would have been trivial wound, pro.
| duced death.

Butte Man Narrowly Misses Being a Double
Murderer.


James w. James, fireman at the
Gagnon mine, Butte, only missed being
a double-murderer Monday through
his excitement and bad aim. His step
daughter, Sadie Langreen, has been
engaged to George w. SCHNEIDER for
some time. The stepfather has been
opposed to the marriage Monday
morning while James was al work. the
young couple went off and got married.
When James returned home and heard
of 1t he sent for SCHNEIDER and his bride,
saying he wanted to talk it over with
them and make up. The young couple
went to the house of James. After a
few friendly words James jumped np
exeitedly and drawing his pistol took
two shots at SCHNEIDER and his wife.
Either his excitement was too great or
his aim was too poor. He missed both
shots. Before he could shoot again a
policeman who was near by rushed in
and arrested him. James has made
threats against the couple in case they
married.
