were to be made. Officials of the de-
partment say that it is possible that a
petition was sent directly to the presi-
dent at Canton, in which event it will
be referred to Attorney General Knox.
According to the dispatches, the Pc
tition alleges that Judge Noyes is
''vacillating, dilatOry, weak. partial,
negligent, careless, and absolutely in
competent; that he has lost the conf
dence and respect Of the attorneys Of
the bar. of the court and of the resi-
dents of his judicial district, that his
orders and DEGREES are violated and
treated with open contempt; that in
the position a fearless and honest
Judge is required to prevent further
riot and bloodshed, to relieve the con-
gested calendar, to preserve law and
order and protect life, liberty and
property
These charges, if received, will be
placed before Judge Noyes on his ar
rival here and he will be given an OPP
portunity to reply to them. Attorney
General Knox will consider them in
connection with other ex-parte state
ments heretofore made to former At
torney General Griggs.
Judge Noyes will undoubtedly be
given full opportunity to disprove all
charges, as many persons here conf
IDENTIFY predict he will.

ENGINEER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Leaves Wife at GAINESVILLE and Goes
With Another Woman.

Walter B. Noble, locomotive engi-
neer for the Northwestern, formerly
of GAINESVILLE, attempted to commit sui
eide by shooting himself in the head
with a pistol at San Francisco recent
ly. He was we'll known in Madison.
Noble left GAINESVILLE some time ago
and has wife living in that city. The
woman mentioned in the account of the
shooting is not his wife but former
Jsnesville woman who was living at
Oshkosh and went west with him. At
the time he left home he had over
$1,000 with him. 1t is not known how
much money he had when he attempt
ed to kill himself. The dispatch re-
garding the shooting is as follows:
San Francisco, Cal, August 28-
w. P. Noble, a locomotive engineer
who came here from Chicago two days
ago, shot himself at the Brooklyn ho-
tel in this city this afternoon, infiict-
ing serious but not dangerous wound.
Noble was accompanied by his wife.
They devoted most of the day to sight
seeing, returning to the hotel about
o'clock. Both had been drinking. He
grew respondent and said that he
would kill himself. His wife urged
him not to do so, but he drew his pis-
toll and repeated his threats Then she
says she tainted. About $50 o'clock
the police were called in by the hotel
people, who heard a pistol shot and
found Noble lying on the floor of his
room covered with blood from pistol
wound in his face. The ball ented the
right cheek and came out under the
left eye. He will recover but may lose
the sight of his left eye. There was
some suspicion that the shot may have
been fired by Mrs. Noble, but both in
sist that Noble shot himself. Noble
is a member of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, and is an engineer
on the Northwestern. He carries a
card from the GAINESVILLE, Wis, lodge
and is now on a leave of absence"

OVER 40
KILLED
Death List of Great North
ern Wreck Grows
Larger
Terrific DOwnhiii Plunge
of Twenty-eight
Free Cars
Supt. Downs and Son
Among Victims of
Disaster

Spokane, Sept 1.-The number OF
dead in the Great Northern wreck is
now placed at Al and the pro.
liabilities are it will be increased
Reports show the wreck was the
worst in the roads history and one OF
the most agonizing in the annals of
American railroading. By strenuous
and heroic efforts, fifteen bodies were
taken from the wrecked cars. All the
others were cremated, including those
of Superintendent Downs and his son.
Two engines had taken the train of
% freights up the heavy grade and
drawn off for water. While doing
this the cars started down at a
frightful speed and crashed into the
rear of Westbound passenger near
the siding at Nyack. Superintendent
Downs car was attached to the pas
senger and next was the coach filled
with laborers from Duluth.
The runaway rounded the curves at
seventy miles per hour where regular
trains barely crawl along. With a
roar it burst around the curve and
jumped a split switch which would
have turned it into a side track and
crashed into the passenger. There
was neither time nor opportunity for
escape. Downs car and that of the
laborers we're smashed into kindling,
the occupants of the private car meet
ing instant death. The debris of the
freight burned like finder, flames
forcing the train crew back from the
work of recue. One man penetrated
as far as the private car where he
saw the dead bodies of Downs and his
son and from which he dragged the
BODY of the cook. In the laborers'
car many of the forty-six occupants
were SO piled they could not be reached
and burned before the eyes of the
spectators. All the doctors in Kalls.
plll were ordered to the scene; the IN
jured were given every attention and
the train with it's gruesome burden OF
dead and dying and injured taken to
Kalispell.
Downs death has cast a gloom over
the city. Tomorrow he was to nave
assumed the duties of vice president
of the Spokane Falls and koontenal
Valley roads.

Pittsburg, Sept. lit was stated
last night that the steel strikers
will be ordered back to work not later
than Tuesday so that Schwab's terms
for conference may be met. Shaffer
declined to discuss the matter.
Pittsburg, Sept. 1.-The strikers
claimed last night that the biggest
victory since the fight began was the
closing of the open hearth department
of the Duquesne works. The Car
negie people make light of the matter
and say it was merely the usual Sat
urday Afternoon close and maintain
that the men will be on hand this
evening as heretofore
It is learned that during the
telephone conference between Schwab
and Burns yesterday Schwab said he
would not consent to meet any Of the
representatives of the Amalgamated
until all the steel mills thrown idle
by Shaffer are put in operation by
the former employees returning to
work; that the strikers are no longer
employees of the steel corporation and
hence there was no reason why he
should meet the representatives of the
association. But if they voluntarily
re-enter the employ of the corporation
Schwab was willing to listen to any
grievance submitted by the officers Of
the union. Burns called on Shaffer
III the afternoon. He refused to state
what passed, but he is hopeful that
Schwab will accord an interview to
discuss terms of the strike settlement.
The feature of the proposal which
seems to impress Schwab is the put
ting of the men back to work at once
and then adjusting the differences. o.
