leen to contribute $500 toward the election
of w. J. Bryan to the Presidency of the
United States, and that as an inducement,
he offered to loan him 500, to which the
defendant assented under the promise, it
is said that he should receive receipt
for $500 from the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, which promise
he claims was not kept.

on behalf of Killeen, regarding which he
claims no statement of the account has

Train of Ore Piled Up in a Horrible Mass

At 5:35 this morning occurred
another frightful wreck on the f.

w. Joslin was seriously, perhaps
fatally injured.
A relief train was at once sum
moned from Florence with the
company surgeon, and everything
possible was done for the injured
men. Disney whose home is in
Canon was taken to that place
Joslin was brought to Florence
and from here taken to the hospi-
tai at Salida on Bio Grande train
No, 5. The body of Lou Frain
was taken to his home in Canon
City.
The Florence daily tribune., 1901-05-11

Frain was a married man about
40 years of age, and leaves a wife
and several children He has a
brother John Frain, in Pueblo.
Deceased was formerly resident
of Florence, and prior to that time
he lived in Pueblo, where for sew
eral years he held the office of
city treasurer.
The engine is badly demolished
as are also several of the cars. On
ly one disabled car was left ON the
track, however, and traffic was not
blocked for a great length of time.

Train No. 10 from Cripple Creek
came in on time at l2:30.
The exact cause of the accident
has not yet been determined The
general theory is t.at the air re-
fused 20 work, and that no one is
in the least to blame. There was
no more careful man on the road
than Lou Frain, and the disaster
could not have been caused by
carelessness on his part. 1t seems
to have been one of those inexplic-
able occurrences that cannot be
ascribed to any human agency.

Charles Duncan, travelling re-

He is here simply to visit old

out today looking for a specimen
of cactus to send to his son who is
in an Illinois college. The speci-

Mr.. Duncan was the main factor
in settling the strike in the north

the president of the United Mine
Workers in settling the trouble
and acted as mediator between the
Northern Coal company and the

The Daily News says:
The cry Of down with the anar-

psan as well as America1-but il seems
u us that the worst possible way Of go

greater the pressure the more violent the
resistance"
The Daily Graphic writes.
There Is one obvious means Of dls-
couraging the anarchist propaganda
which has been to- much neglected in
the United states and On the conti-
nen;. namely TO treat the advocacy Of
crime itsalf as criminal.
In this country thar principle Is ac-
cspted and acted upon. Probably II a
score or 50 Of the philosophic anarchists
wera sen; 10 cool their heels a year or
50 IN prison they would grow consid-
ably more cautious IN the use Of their
words and ,hsir disciples would begin
10 learn something OF the same reticence
in using revolvers."
The Morning Post believes that the
characteristic lesson Of recent events
Is that all governments are exposed to
the same danger.
1T IS not this or that particular form
Of authority that is aimed at. but all
authority. Wherever the anarchists sees
authority or gJyernmen. he strikes. no

the lesson which Is being driven home
in the United States by the brutal al
tack on Presi1en. Mckinley.
While II would appear that certain
measures may BE- taken by the United
States on its own account IN order to
combat this new evil. It would be bet
