pers, mostly women, wended their wav
today at the salesrooms of the j. r. Fin

There are cut glass ware, toilet articles.

handsome brushes and combs, cosmetics,
imported and domestic perfumes of all

(By Associate PresS.)

San Francisco, Dec. 19.--The following
story of the train wreck at Upands was
telephoned by one of the passengers.
reports from other sources conflict as
to the number fatally injured, but the
main details are believed to be correct:
San Luis. Cal, Dec. 19.-The north and
southbound Southern Pacific Sunset
limited trains collded headon, at Up
lands at 105 this morning and two men,
the fireman and baggageman, were killed.
Four Italians who We're in the smok-
ing car of the northbound train were
bruised and scalded. but not fatally.
Both engines We're demolished and the
baggage, smoking and chair cars of the
northbound train were burned. None of
the passengers on the southbound train
were injured.
The names of the men killed are:
FIREMAN GORBER.
BAGGAGEMAN GARLAND.
The cause of the accident was the fail
ure of the southbound train to wait at
a siding at Uplands. Instead Of waiting
the train went past the siding at the
rate of 30 miles an hour.
Half mile beyond the siding it struck
the northbound train from Los Angeles,
which was going at an equal rate of
speed. Just as the crash came both en-
gine crews jumped for their lives. All
escaped except Fireman Gorber of the
northbound engine. He was crushed to
death.
Baggageman Is Burned.
Both engines were completely wrecked
and the baggage car piled up on the en-
gine. The smoking car of the north
bound, in which there were half dozen
Italian laborers, was also smashed, and
four of the Italians We're badly bruised
and scalded by escaping steam. None
Of them is believed to he fatally hurt.
In the chair car We're number of
first-class passengers. Sheriff Pees of
Monterey and a man named Kelshaw of
San Uuis Obispo We're bruised, but not
seriously.
Immediately after the collision the
baggage car of the northbound train
caught fire and baggageman Garland,
who was crushed in the wreck, was
burned in his or.
The chair car was also destroyed by
fire, but all the passengers in it managed
to get out in safety. u
The first reports of the wreck were
greatly exaggerated. There is no tele-
graph station at Uplands and messages
had to be sent from San Ardo. four miles
away. Wrecking crews We're sent from
Salinas and San Luis Obispo, and sur
geons We're also sent from Salinas.
Fortunately there is not much for
them to do when they arrive. The track
is completely blockaded, but a tempor-
airy track is being built around the wreck
and traffic will be resumed today.
There was intense excitement among
the passengers of both trains when the
collision occurred. Both trains were
heavily laden with passengers, most of

STORY TOLD IN EARLY BULLETINS

trains are scheduled to pass at Uplands,
few miles south of San Ardo.
The sOuth-bOund train left Salinas
seven minutes late, and through some
error met the nOrth-bound train head on
one-haf mile west Of Uplands, between
San Ardo and San Lucas.
Both trains were completely wrecked,
the engines being thrown from the tracks
and several Of the cars telescoped.
Train No. was partly destroyed by
fire.
1t is reported here that 10 or IL per-
sons We're killed and so injured.
Crowded With Passengers
The south-bound train was crowded
with passengers, every seat being taken
and some persons being obliged to stantl.
Among those ON the train were so dis.
charged soldiers on their way East, and
the All-American baseball team from the
East on their way to Los Angeles. The
track is completely blocked and no trains
can pass the wreckage today.
The Sunset Limited and two freight
trains are held at Bradley.
The name of the fireman who is known
to have been killed is
G. CAMERON.

MILD CRITICISM OF
JUDGE CLANCY
On the Strength of an Alleged Error
by Him, the M. o. p. Company
Wants a Writ.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Helena, Dec. 19.-Application was
made in the supreme court this MORN
ing by T. c. Bach, representing F. A.
Heinze and the Johnstown Mining COM
pany, for a writ of supervisory control
requiring Judge Clancy to set aside the
order issued by him permitting the Bos-
ton & Montana company to survey ex-
mine and inspect the Minnie Healey
mine.
The supreme court granted the order
to show cause, but has not set a date
for hearing.
Some time ago the Boston & Mon
tana company secured an order per-
mitting it to make an eXamina ton of
the Minnie Healey mine.
The application of F. A. Heinze, filed
this morning, is to secure a writ of su-
pervisory control directing the district
court to set aside and stay the execu-
tion of the order of the district court
permitting the survey and restraining
the Boston & Montana from in any
manner enforcing the order
The petition for the writ of supervisory
control or such other writ as may be nee
essary declares that the litigation over
the Minnie Healy mine is still pending
and undetermined; that the petitioners
are now and We're at all times mentioned
in the complaint, owners of the Minnie
Healy mine.
That the petitioners believe that the
Boston & Montana company has no right
to the order; that there was an abuse of
discretion on the part Of Judge Clancy,
and that he exceeded the rightful exercise
of his authority and made a mistake of
law.
The petition sets up nine reasons why
the order of Judge Clancy should be set
aside.

Strange to Say Live.

, heavy iron wagons used in taking up ore
got stuck and the three filters sent for
assistance. More men were sent up
until the number there reached IA.
1t was while they were trying to get
the wagon loaded that the fatal explo-
sion took place. Eye witnesses say there
was loud report, and the murky
heavens were illuminated with great
sheet of fame showing the men on top
of the furnace running about, gesticu-
lating wildly.
The flames and hot metal looked like
volcano in action. Five Of the men
were blown off the top of the furnace,
and these are the ones that are still
living. The others hung on the rail-
some on the outside and some on the
inside until their fingers were burned
off. They then fell to the roof of the
mill, dead.
Seven of the victims were found dead
on the platform of the cupola. These
were completely denuded of clothing by
the flames, and their bodies were burned
almost to crisp.
Those Killed Were Poles.
Two of the dead were found in the
STOCK yard of the plant, 250 yards from
the furnace. Every bone in their bodies
seemed to have been broken. All of
those killed and injured We're Slavs and
Poles.
The management was unable to give
their names, but sent for, George Pitoli,
an interpreter. who went to the morgue
and identified some of the victims.
over two tons of ore, coke and hot
clnders some pieces weighing almost
three pounds, rained down on Second
avenue, and many pedestrians ran into
their houses and stores for protection.
A car was passing just at the time the
gas exploded. The coke and other ma
terfal falling on the car, which hadddd 25
passengers aboard, caused a panic, and
many jumped off. None of the passen-
gers We're injured.
AS soon as the smoke had died awav
the company's surgeon, DR.. J. w. Nc
kennan. and three nearby physicians.
We're summoned, and they attended the
injured.
The people residing about the furnace
and for blocks on either side were badly
scared.
