A BAD WRECK.
Wind Causes Disaster on Grand
Trunk Road Near Hnskells, Ind.
Some Deaths Feared.

Valparaiso, Ind, April 2s.-A fast
east-bound passenger train on the Chi
cago g. Grand Trunk railway was
wrecked shortly after ten o'clock Fri
day evening at Haskells, little sta
ton eight miles east of this city and
Ga miles from Chicago. It. is feared
that number of trainmen or passen-
gers-perhaps both-were killed or in
jured, although this fact cannot be as
certained at this hour. The engi.
neer and firemen are known to be MISS
ing. A special train carrying wreck
ing crew and corps of surgeons was
made up here and rushed to the scene
of the Disaster. 1t left Valparaiso
shortly before midnight. Grand Trunk
local officials claim to know nothing
of the particulars. 1t is admitted,
however, that the wreck was caused
by the high wind, which blew two
empty freight cars from siding to
the main track. The passenger train
crashed into these cars at full speed,
as it did not slacken speed in passing
through Haskells.

government has all the evidence
necessary to begin it's proceedings,
but it is also asserted that, regard
less of the desire of the attorney
general for haste in prosecuting the
packers, it will be several weeks be-
fore the case comes to hearing.
Judge Day will probably begin. the
injunction proceedings in Judge
KoMsaat's court.
Packers Join in Fight.
It is believed that on the issuing
of the preliminary injunction the
packers will get together as in the
recent case of the railways. The
counsel for the packers SO far have
not held any joint conference. They
are waiting for Judge Days first
move.
Former employees of the large pack
ing houses, it is said, will be impor-
tant witnesses when the case gets
into court.
The attorneys for the packers as
sert that the present proceedings can
have nothing to do with the alleged
payment of rebates to them by the
railroads, as that cannot be dragged
into the present warfare upon them.
Judge Days knowledge of this end Of
the game, however, is so vast, accord
ing to man who is familiar with his
work, that before the packers are
clear of the woods it is declared, the
railways will be in the mess up to their
necks and the fullest expose of the
rebate system as applied to the pack
ers made public.
May Start Rebate Inquiry.
Judge Day, it is said, is fully aware
that large share of the present in
justice to the public and the small re-
tailers comes from the alleged unlaw-
full relations of the packers and the
railways in the matter Of rates. It is
even intimated that certain vice presi-
dents in charge of traffic on some of
the big western railways may be sub
poenaed. For these reasons the pack
ers who formerly expressed no un-
easiness regarding the coming inves-
tigation are now said to appear UNI
conf every time suggestion
is made that Judge Day may use the
rebate end to show up the so-called
beef trust.
