there is opportunity to compare it with
the lists of decorations bestowed upon the
people Of other countries.

FOUR CHILDREN INCINERATED
HORRIBLE FATALITY IN A La
GRANGE COUNTY FIRE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 1s.-The first
wreck of any magnitude on the interurban
lines of the Union Traction Company oc-
CURED soon after o'clock tonight when
west-bound passenger car with sixty pas
sengers for Anderson, Elwood and points
west and north. ran into the rear end Of
a dead car, west-bound, on the high
bridge spanning White river, about half
way between this city and Chesterfield.
More than a dozen persons were injured.
Those most seriously hurt are:
s. SANDERSON. travelling salesman,
Bloomington. ILL.,, foot badly crushed and
bruised on body and head; probably Will
SANFORD SMITH, barber. Indianapolis;
left side badly bruised and shoulder
wrenched.
j. w. MOORE. Chicago. son Of Dr.
Moore, manager of the Chicago & South
eastern; body badly bruised.
BARON MOFFIT, Muncie; seriously
bruised.
JOHN RUPERT, iron worker, Anderson;
internally injured, serious.
Among the others injured are: Mrs Gel,
of Richmond; Mrs. Smell. of this city; Mrs.
Robert Trimble. of Chesterfield, who suf-
fered a compound fracture of the nasal
bone; Robert Trimble, her husband, badly
cut about the leg, and Joe Cronyon, of this
city, badly hurt about the body.
The ends of the colliding cars were de-
molished One of the strange things in
connection with the wreck is that Emery
Johnson, motorman on the moving car. was
left standing on the splntered timbers,
and suffered hardly a scratch. A thou
sand feet east of the bridge there Is a
circuit breaker and this side there was no
power. The first car had come from Num-
Gle and had to stop on the bridge. The
second came at full speed and down the
incline and the motorman not seeing the
car ahead his light being put out at the
circuit breaker, dashed into the second
car. The latter was knocked the length
of the bridge, but fortunately did not leave
the track. There were sixty passengers in
the still car and when il was evident there
was going to be collision, it was with
difficulty that several of the men kept a
number of the women from jumping out
of the windows into the river.
The only Sanford Smith mentioned in the
Indianapolis directory is recorded as a
laborer, and he lives at No. 81 East Court
street.

Whitton Shooting at Glenwood.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, Jan. 1S.-Murray Ry-
burn, aged about twenty-one, was arrested
last night by Fayette county officers
charged with the shooting of Harvey Whit
ton, his successful rival for the hand of
Lena Neff Ryburn lives two miles north
OF Glenwood, the scene of Wednesday
nights tragedy. After his arrest Ryburn
was taken to Connersville. followed by
several witnesses. He demanded an imme-
date hearing and was arraigned before a
justice of the peace on charge of shoot
ing with intent to kill. Ryburn established
an alibi to the satisfaction of the justice,
who ordered his release.
A new theory with reference to the re-
sponsibility for the shooting was talked
of to-day by few persons at Glenwood
to the effect that Whitton shot himself
accidentally. 1t is said the bullet which
entered his body came from a revolver in
his own hands. IT is known that Whitton
had a weapon. but not much stock is taken
by the public in this story. Wilton denies
il. and his description of his would-be muir
derer tallies with that given by Lena Neff,
who saw the man disappear i'm the dark
ness. The statement of the girl that the
man who did the shooting afterWard re-
turned to the house and approached a win
dow near which she stood is corroborated
by her mother, who also saw the man.
Since the release Of Ryburn an air of
considerable mystery has settled over the
case and the officers at a standstill
