ENGINEER KILLED.
OVER A SCORE OF PASSENGERS IN
JuRED IN COLLISION AT THAYER.
Passenger Train No. 3 Crashes Into Freight
Engine with Fatal Rcsults--Coaches
Hurled Down Twenty Foot Embank-
ment--List of the Injured.

Ottumwa, Ia, May Huntington pas
senger train No. was wrecked yester-
day while passing Thayer, small
town eight miles east of Creston, caus-
ing the death of Engineer S. ID. Brown
and injuring over score of passen-
gers. The locomotive hauling the pas
senger struck an engine attached to a
freight train that was backing on to n
sidetrack. The passenger engine and
all but two cars of the passenger train
left the rails and rolled down 90
foot embankment.
Thayer is situated in the bed of n
deep ravine and on either side of the
station the track curved sharply.
Neither engineer could see the others
train until they were within 200 feet
of each other. The passenger was run
ming at high speed. The engineer Of
the freight train heard the passenger
train coming and made the utmost en-
deavcr to back his heavy train on to
the sidetrack. He succeeded in get
ting all but the engine on the siding
when the crash came.
AS the passenger train rounded the
curve Engineer Brown saw his peril
but he stuck to his post, reversed his
engine, threw on the airbrake to the
emergency notch, applied the sand and
awaited the crash. AT the last mo-
ment the men on the freight engine
jumped and escaped serious injury.
The impact was terrific. The freight
engine was thrown across the tracks
and the passenger engine hurled down
the 2O-foot emhanliment followed by
the baggage car, the express car, the
day coach and three chair cars. The
agent at TEayer and several hangers
on around the depot witnessed the
wreck and rendered such aid to the
wounded as was possible before the ar
rival of a relief train dispatched from
this city with surgeons.

ENDED HIS LIFE
SYDNEY BULL SHOOTS HIMSELF
TWICE AMI TAKES POISON.
THIRD ATTEMPT WAS FATAL
After Two Attempts on His Life With
a Shotgun Despondent Man Takes
Strychnine-Body Cold When Found
His Home in Canada-Inquest Will
Be Held Tomorrow Night.

Sydney j. Bull a Respondent miner,
tried to commit suicide this morning by
shooting himself with shotgun. After
two failures he took a dose of strych-
nine. The third attempt to end his life
was successful and his body now rests
on slab at Undertaken Sherman.
Bull had been living at No. AZ Front
street, Meaderville, for about three
months, He had been in i'll health for
lengthy period and long brooding over
his misfortune had partially unhinged
his mind. This morning at O'Clock he
borrowed a shotgun and went into the
rear yard, saying he wished to kill cat
which was annoying him. Two shots
rang out, but nothing was thought of it,
because of the reason he had given for
borrowing the gun.
Two hours later his lifeless body was
found in a buggy shed. In falling his
face had struck a pile of boards and
was badly bruised. Coroner Johnson
was notified and after visiting the scene
and making an investigation, had the
body sent to Shermans.
On table in Bulls, room was found a
half-emptied bottle of strychnine That
the deceased had taken a dose of the
poison was shown by the rigidity of his

after death, except in the case of poi
son.
Both charges of the shotgun had en-
tered the fence a few inches apart. 1t
is unlikely that a cat would have stayed
in the same spot long enough to risk
a second shot after the first had miss
ed. Powder specks were found in the
skin of Bulls neck, showing that he had
placed the muzzle of the gun against
his head or breast and had moved 1T
away when pulling the trigger. either
through nervousness or inclination.
In the pockets of the deceased We're
found few personal effects and $l1
in coin. A letter from his sister, Mrs.
Florence Perkins, of Woodstock, N. b.,

An inquest will be held tomorrow eve-
ming at 1:30 o'clock.

This deal means the acquisition by the

The process is electrolytic and is
closely analogous to the electrolytic re-

copper We're refined in the United States

at rate ten times greater, and
in making bar copper for subsequent
melting at rate twenty times greater
