passenger train was delayed by the cold
weather and 1t was three hours and
forty minutes late when the freight
train going east reached Coleman, forty
miles west of Chicago. Coleman is the
passing point for the two trains. The
conductor and engineer of the freight
train were instructed that the passenger
train was late, and it was their duty to
sidetrack at Irene, which they neglected
to do.
There was no explosion that we can
get information Of Employees who were
aboard the trains say that both were
running at full speed and that the
shock was terrible. 1t seems there were

Bernard R. Ahrendt, of Chicago one
of the survivors of the wreck, who was
injured and taken to the hospital at
Rockford, staggered into his mothers S
home store at $50 West North avenue,
and tainted on the threshold from the
fatigue and nervous strain he had been
compelled to endure. When he recov-
cred later he told the following story
of the wreck:
Il was riding in the chair car when
the crash came. I was knocked sense
less for a moment and the first 1 knew
the steam from the burst pipe was en-
my fist and climbed out, cutting and
bruiSing myself badly
"A fellow passenger, who sat in the
chair next to me, jumped out after me
and landed on his head The wreck
took fire almost Immediately and in ten
minutes was reduced to ashes the oil
from a tank car and the high wind that
prevailed helping the blaze. There were
a great many miraculous escapes. A
young woman with a baby jumped out
of one of the cars and escaped without
a scratch. We We're all obliged to stand
out in the cold for two hours waiting
for the relief train.'
Miss Maude Stewart, the fiancee of
Harry G. Wellman. another Chicago
passenger, who was seriously injured, is
now at his side in the Rockford hos
pital She left in response to a telegram
from the hospital authorities requesting
her presence. Wellman was very seri-
ously injured, his right arm half
crushed off, an0 il is thought he can

WILL BE HEARD APRIL s.
Supreme Court to Listen to All Anti
Trust Arguments.

All the cases involving the antitrust
law now pending in the supreme court
will be heard April s. An order to that
effect has been made by the supreme
court.
There four such cases now the
supreme court docket. Two of them in
volve the plumbers trust and the other
two involve the state grain trust. Tho
first two are the cases of Durkin & Leahy
against Christian States and other plumb
ers who are alleged to have been members
Of the Kansas State Plumbers association
in which the plaintiffs won a Judgment
for damages in the Shawnee county dis
trict court and which were appealed by
the plumbers.
The other two cases are the petitions
for a habeas corpus for E. J. Smiley. Sec
retary of the Kansas State Grain Deal
ers' association, who has been recently
convicted of violating the antitrust law
in Rush county, and who was committed
to jail by Judge Simpson in the Reno
county district court for refusing to testi-
fy in another suit against the grain trust.
In the latter suit a stipulation was made
that Smiley was to be only constructively
in jail until the United States court or
the state supreme court should pass on
his case.
All four of these cases will be argued
together before the supreme court sitting
zen banc, and it is probable that the attor-
neys of each side of all the cases will
combine their efforts. The decision, which
will regularly be due in May If 1T is sub
mitted after argument, Will be one OF
great Importance.
