TRAIN WRECKERS' WORK
The Lives of Hundreds Put 1T
 Jeopardy.

Portland, Ore. Dec. 6.-East-bound
 passenger train No. 2 of the Oregon
 Railway x Navigation company. which left this city at a. m-, was wrecked twelve miles west of The Dalles this afternoon. The engine was turned com- pletely over and the mail car left the track, but was only turned partially
 over. A composite sleeper and diner left the track. but remained upright The other cars, including a private car containing Col. R. C. Clowry. general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company, and party, re- mained on the track. Engineer Maurice Cavanaugh was badly scalded and per haps internally injured. Fireman Frank Chase is seriously injured. None of the passengers was injured.
 The wreck was undoubtedly the work of train wrcckers. as an examination showed that a 7s-inch square nut had been placed on the outside rail of a three degree curve. Another nut was also found on the outside rail about 100 feet ahead of the first one. Two men who had been at work near The DalleS are suspected of wrecking the train, and the company has offered S1,00O re ward for the arrest and conviction of | the criminals.

 Senators Mitchell, Heitfeld and Rep resentative Loud were especially earn est in urging action. They took a posi- ton in favor of making the Geary law immediately effective, declaring that the Chinese multitude should be kept out of the country for all time.

A DAY IN PROBATE COURT
The Bonthron Case aud Others of Un-
 usuaal Inter est.

Several matters Of more than ordin- ary interest came up in probate court yesterday. One was the hearing of the petition of w w. Edwards for spec iaI letters of administration on the estate of James D. Bronthron, the young man who was killed by an electric wire during the carnival year ago. The estate, as has already been men toned, is a damage suit not now pend ing but in prospect, against the cleo tric light company. 4 suit was begun by the parents of Bonthron, who are citizens of Canada, but the plaintiffs were not here in person. and not be- ! ing citizens of the United States, II
 was dismissed on the ground that they could not become plaintiffs in the ac- tion.
 | The last legislature passed q law by which, in such cases. suit might be begun by an administrator. Not long ago application for letters on Bon
 thron's estate was made by w. w. Ed
 wards, and time was set for hearing.
 A few days ago another petition was filed by Frank c. Smith. That set the hearing of the Edwards petition over
 until notice had been given of the Smith application, when both would be
 heard at once. That date would be some time after December 12. the an niVe-Sary Of the deCth or Bonthron, and under the law suit for damages could not be brought later.
 A final move was made yesterday by AleXa nCier and Bullard, the attorneys | for Edwards. They applied for spec i ial letters for him, alleging extreme urgency. and a hearing took place at
 once. The application was vigorously opposed by Chalmers and Wilkinson.

PAY CAR HELD UP
By the Officials of the Customs Ser
 vice at Nogsles.

The pay car of the Southern Pacific was held up at Nogales in the broad light of day on Thursday morning. The hold-up was not committed by des- peradoes, but by officials of the United States government. The story was brought here yesterday morning by James l.. Kramer, who had come di- rectly from Nogales.
 The customs officials had for some time suspected Paymaster Robinson of smuggling. On Thursday morning Col IectCr Doan directed two officials to search the car on it's arrival from the south. Accordingly. as soon as 1t crossed the line they boarded it and found twenty-three boxes of Mexican cigars.
 .'he customs officers held the car for several hours. Tn the meantime the paymaster telegraphed the secretary of the treasury and finally an order for it's release was received from the depart mnt. The paymaster and the guard were put under a bond of $400 for their appearance. What excuse was offered lIr. Kramer did not learn.

THE HABEAS CORPUS
The Awkwardness of the Arizona Sys-
 tenn Illustrated

The inutility of the law passed by the last legislature regarding writs of habeas corpus is now felt and. and the strong argument made against the pro- posed change has in the first case brought under the law been found to be unanswerable.
 Until the Twenty-first legislature un- dertook to remodel the laws of Arizona a court commissioner, in the absence of the judge, could order writ to issue and could make it returnabIe to him. self. Now the commissioner. in the ab- sence of the judge, can direct the issu ance of the writ, but he must make it
Arizona republican., 1901-12-07

returnable to the judge of some other district. It was pointed out in the course of the arguments on the bill that in some cases such a law as was pro- posed would be practically a denial Of the right of habeas corpus, for pris- oner who might be 9 poor man without means of paying travelling expenses into the next district could not avail himself of the writ.
 In the Rev. Joseph Anderson case, now pending, the truth of this argu- ment is brought out, and more. He IS said to be without funds and there is no provision in the law for the payment of his expenses by the county. Worse than that. there is no provision for the payment of the expenses of City Mar shal Kinney, the custodian to whom the writ is directed. The county certainly will not bear the expense and it is quite as certain that the city will not. Yet he must follow the writ wherever it is sent or put himself in contempt of court There is said to be such an ar rangement nowhere else in the United States.
 There were no further developments in the Anderson case yesterday. No word was heard from the agent of the state of California who was supposed to be coming after him. It is not even definitely known that application has been made for requisition.
 There is a theory that the present writ of habeas corpus may be avoided. though lawyers are not agreed upon it, by a transfer of the prisoner from the custody of the city to that of the coun- ty That may be accomplished by the arrest of Anderson by the county au- thorities on a warrant sworn out by Marshal Kinney charging him with be- ing a fugitive from justice.
