Second Crime Of its Kind Within
Forty-eight Hours Causes Con-
sternation in Railroad
Circles.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 7.-For the sec
ond time within forty-eight hours train
wreckers have sent an oregon train
crashing into the ditch. The California
Express on the Southern Pacific, which
left San Francisco yesterday morning and
was due in this city tonight. was
wrecked 500 feet south of the depot at
Salem at o'clock this morning. Fire
man Silas L. Fish of Portland was killed
and Engineer w. H. White seriously in
jured.
That the disaster was the work Of
wreckers the company employees are con-
vinced. An examination Of the track
shows that a switch was left~ha!f open
and the lock taken away. The engine ran
upon the switch, while the tender stayed
on the main line.
This wreck, following so closely upon
that of yesterday, when obstructions upon
the rails sent eastbound passenger train
No. on the Oregon Railway and and Navi-
The Dalles, has caused CONSERVATION in
railway circles. The object of the wreck
ers is hard to. fathom, as it is apparent
that the motive is not robbery. Ihdt
they are actuated by a desire for revenge
likewise seems improbable, as they have
not confined their operations to single
road. In yesterdays wreck Engineer
Maurice Cavanaugh was killed and Fire
man Frank Chase injured.
When the California express left the
rails near Salem this morning Engineer
White was caught under the wreckage
and held there an hour before being res
cued, but his injuries are not considered
fatal. Expect the fireman and engineer,
no one on the train was hurt, notwith-
standing the fact that the engine and the
mail, express and baggage cars all went
into the, ditch.
At the scene Of the wreck there Is a
trestle about fifteen feet high over Mill
Creek The engine plunged into the creek,
turning over on its side, and the mail car
piled on top Of 1t. The express and bag
GA loft the track the 0nn0Sit6
side from the engine and mail car. The
day coach was derailed, but remained up
right. The Pullman sleeper and the pri-
vate car of Superintendent Fields re-
mained on the track.
The train was running about ten miles
an hour at the time. The track was torn
up for more than 100 feet, blocking traffic
for several hours. The Albany local
train, due in Salem at $50 o'clock was
turned back to bring the overland pas
sengers and mails to Portland.

~ ANACONDA NEWS -

The name of Hon. Lee Mantle was
mentioned, and there was unanimous
desire that he should be induced to
come here and speak on the occasion.
There was a crystallization of interest
at this point, and j. p. Thomas, chair
man of the executive committee and
some others were instructed to call up
Mr.. Mantle in Butte and ascertain il
it was possible for him to be in Ana
conda next Tuesday, it being thought
best to get some definite word from
him before any other arrangements
We're made. recess was taken until
the committee sent to confer with Mr..
Mantle could report, and all We're hop
ing that a favorable response would
come.
Mr.. Mantle, while he appreciated the
desire of the club to give him a place
of honor in the meeting by selecting
him as the principal speaker of the
evening, he thought the time interven-
ing between now and next Tuesday was
too short to make preparation, in as
much as he had world of private mat
ters which absorbed almost his entire
attention; = he informed Chairman
Thomas that he might come at some
later date.
Mr.. Thomas reported to the meeting
what conversation had taken place with
Mr.. Mantle, and it was then decided
to defer the theater meeting until the
22nd inst, and make it a joint Ceebra-
ton of Lincoln and Washington's birth
days. 1t was thought Mr.. Mantle could
probably be here on that date, as two.
weeks interviewed. and the executive
committee was instructed to again con-
fer with him in rfi tn ta,.
There was strong feeling among the
members that social session Should
be held on Tuesday night, anyway, and
have the war veterans as guests, and
Capt. Hallahan was instructed to in
Vite them.
Free Gangner stated that he would
furnish the refreshments, and A. w.
Burnett. the restaurant man, said he
would take it upon himself to see that
there is bounteous supply of sand
"lches on hand These proffers We're
duly accepted by the club.
During the early part of the evening
c. j. Walsh was made secretary of the
club, to fill the vacancy caused by the
declination of Gus B. English con-
stitution and bylaws was then adopted.
DIR. NJ. NJ Leahy could not consistent
~ fill place on the executive commit
tee on account of his professional du-
ties, and Augustus Short was named to
fill his place. The doctor, however. was
elected to the vice presidency of the
club.

Prest. Hickey-Lincoln Day at
High School

Had it been right in the midst of a
heated political campaign, the meeting
of the Lincoln Republican club held
last night, could not have been more
enthusiastic. Everyone was Interested
and while the session was called purely
for the transaction of business, 1t de-
veloped into quite a social affair, and no
one missed having a very enjoyable
time, and it was close to the hour of II
when they adjourned. The meeting was
spicy and no one allowed Interest to
lag.
After disposal of the regular routine
business, w. r. Allen, chairman of the
finance committee, and one of the clubs
most active workers, called attention to
the fact that Lincoln's birthday was
only a few days off, and in as much
as the club had been named after that
earnest patriot and martyred president
The thought it was a fitting time for the
club to hold some sort of Il celebration
and suggested that on the evening of
the 18th inst. a social session he held
in which all members of the club .hould
participate. 1t was suggested by David
Narler that all old soldiers of the re-
bellion, as we'll as those of the Spanish
and Philippine wars, should be invited
to attend. This met With hearty ap-
prevail, and someone mentioned that
the city would he a good place to hold
the festivities, and after Councilman
Gangner had been appointed commit
tee of one to secure the city council
chamber for the occasion, the cnthusi-
asm became so intense objections We're
raised against the city hall by Attorney
G. M. Sawyer, who declared that the
building in it's present condition was
fit for nothing more than a barn. The
sanitary conditions around the place
We're such, he said, that almost any per-
son could catch a conta gious disease
while listening to a speech. He wanted
10 see the ladies turn out on such an
event, and he was sure none in the city
would venture out to the city hall.
MI. Sawyers remarks had the de-
sired effect, and it seemed to be the
general desire that the Margaret the
alter be secured, and number present
offered to contribute money towards the
expense.

The peaceful slunbers of the roomers
in the FurSt and DurSton blocks are
disagreeably interrupted about every
second night in the week by the un-
earthly. soul-stirring cries of a mongrei
dog, which sits in the back yard be-
tween the blocks, with his face to the
moon, and hoWls by the hour. The
weather is too cold to open a window
long enough to fire boots and wafer
pitchers in his direction, and so far he
has howled unmolested, but a number
of the disturbed have designs on that
CANNES life. and if threats are carried
out something serious will happen him
very soon.
