DENIES THE STORY.
Ex Railroad Com missioner
kayIer Interviewed by an
Alliance Paper.

A dispatch sent ont from Columbus
stated that X. S. Kaylor, ey-commis-
sioner of railroads and telegraphs, car.
ried away records of the office when he
was turned down by Governor Nash
for reappointment. The Alliance Lead
er has called Mr.. Kaylors attention to
the dispatch and prints the following
;containing Mr.. Kaylor's denial:
The Leader representative found Mr.,
Kaylor confined to his bed suffering
with a severe attack of rheumatism
and when the Columbus dispatch was
read to him he denied the truthfulness
Of ii from start TO finish.
He said that everything in the Office
pertaining to official business had been
left there at the completion of his term
and that he took nothing with him ex-
cept his private correspondence. He
said, further, that he held no eonversa-
tion with anyone concerning his turn
down by the governor although he had
positive assurance from him that he
would be reappointed to the Office.
Mr.. Kaylor mentioned many other
things in this connection that show
the inside workings and double dealing
of the party of which he is a member,
but under pledge of mo publication
of them, the Leader refrains from maxi
ing them public at this time.

looked remarkably well. He's just

his deep love for America and it's

BOTH MAY

Injuries Are Not Neces-

NO CONCLUSION YET
An lnvestigat Of the w. & L.
&. Wreck Near Cleve-
land Being
Made.

The Wheeling and Lake Erie officials
have as yet come to no conclusion fixing
the responsibility for the disastrous
head-end collision just outside of Cleye-
land. in which Brakeman William Teis
lost his life and three other men were
seriously injured. An investigation is
on foot but the crews have not as yet
been called upon for their versions OF
what led up to the accident.
Ii is probable that the death of
Brakeman Teis will be the only result.
ing fatality. The injuries of both En-
gineer Renzenbrink and Fireman Hor-
man are serious but not necessar'
ly fatal. and both will probably recover,
while the injuries of Sylvester Brogie
an Italian laborer who was on the con-
struction train, are not serious. All
three of the injured men are at St
Alexis hospital at Cleveland.
A difference Of ten minutes in the
Interpretation of orders is said to have
been the cause of the accident. 1t is
said that the freight train had orders
to run two hours and fifteen minutes
late in order to make way for passen.
ger train and the construction train.
None of the 80 or more of the Italian
laborers on the construction train was
injured except Brogie, who was looking
out the car saw the collision ahead
and attempted to jump. Remembering
and Norman. who were in the cab of
the work train, also were injured by
trying to jump but did not get clear
of the wreckage.
Teis met his death in most peculiar
manner his head hCing caught be-
tween the sliding doors OF the caboose
and crushed. The CaLC ose used was
reconstructed freight car with sliding
side doors. The duties of Ties was to
act as fiagman for the work train, and
1t is supposed that, hearing the warn.
ing whistle of the engines, he looked
out the side door 10 see what was
wrong and when the crash came, his
head was caught by the suddenly clos
ing door.
Norman sustained fracture of the
right leg injuries about the back, and
serious internal injuries.
Rinzenbrink sustained a fracture OF
the right leg also and the knee cap on
his left leg was badly crushed. He also
complained of internal injuries.
Brogie sustained only dislocated
shoulder.
The body of the dead brakeman will
be brought to Canton, his former home,
Friday evening.

The case was tried in the probate
court and Robertson found guilty by Il
jury. He was sentenced to pay a fine and
be imprisoned. 1t was appealed direct
ly to the circuit court, and the higher
tribunal set aside the verdict on the
ground that II was against the weight
of the evidence. The nice law point a,i

They could not decide whether or not
the case could come from the probate
court to them directly, or whether 1,

Their opinion was that this phase OF
the question should be settled in the

is a strong probability that at the same

increased to 100000, 900, the value of
