CIRCUS CARS WRECKED.

Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 18.-Two ele-
plant cars and one cage Of an animal
car belonging to section Of the Ring
ling Bros circus, en- route to Portland,
were ditched near the freight depot in
this city. Ten men, IL elephants and
several Gagged lions and tigers we're
in the mixup. No fatalities occurred,
but all Of the men were bruised and
three were sent to the hospital here
for treatment.
c. w. McCurry, superintendent of
animals, sustained severe fracture of
his left leg, just above the ankle;
Martin Smith, elephant trainer, re-
ceived a number of cuts on his head
and face; c. A. Weaver, elephant train
er, had his shoulder dislocated and re-
ceived an ugly cut on his face; Pearl
Sowden, chief elephant trainer, also
The elephants received few scratches
and bruises, but their injuries are not
believed to be serious.
The wreck, which but for the rarest
of good fortune would have been dis
astrous one, was caused by defective
frog in switch. The third section Of
the circus train was pulling out for
Portland, when a flatcar left the rails,
drawing with it the heavily loaded ele
plant cars. The weight of the ele-
plants knocked the roof out. The front
of one car dropped into a water ditch
about six feet deep, while the rear end
was upon level ground. This inclined
the car and threw the elephants help
less at the end Of the chains by which
they were tied. The gigantic beasts
were piled around in almost every
shape except an upright one.
AS soon as the cars left the tract the
leaders rushed from their quarters,
and by beating and shouting kept down
the rising tempers of the unruly in
mates. They were unclaimed and al.
lowed to slide from the cars much as
they would have backed out at the
usual unloading. Within a very few
minutes all but one were rounded up
in very docile herd, gorging them
selves upon the grass at the scene Of
the wreck. One small female was in
a helpless condition at the end of her
chain, and when 1t was cut from the
fastening she slid heavily into the
ditch of water.
She was either too badly frightened
or too stubborn to extricate herself,
and 1t required an hour of strenuous
work to land her on the shore. She
was finally dragged out bodily by q
huge male elephant. A chain was
fastened about the necks of both ami
mails and after few pulls the female
was pulled into a position where she
could help herself. She was badly
bloated with water and was given sew
eral quarts OF whisky to ward OF a
chill.
The cars were badly damaged and
were taken to the Northern Pacific
shops for repairs, the animals being
put in boxcars and the train left to-
night for Portland.
When the accident occurred the
train was moving at the rate of three
miles an hour, but when the flatcar
jumped the track It set the air brakes
and thereby prevented more serious
results.
The car containing the tigers and
lions was only partially derailed and
the animals remained in their cages.

Pendleton, Ore, Aug. 1s.-Much less
land than expected will be thrown open
September Is. when the remaining unal-
loted lands OF the Umatilla Indian reser-
walton will be offered for sale to the
general public. Originally 1t was thought
5000 acres would be available when the
opening date came. Since then two
causes have contributed to cutting down
this amount: The proposed Blue noun
tain forest reserve has eliminated a con-
siderable area and squatters are taking
advantage of the provisions of the Moody
bill. which made special allowance for
them, and are securing their holdings.

None of the Coal Miners VIII Work
for Former Pay.
Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 1s.-The strike
in the anthracite region is as firm as the
everlasting hills. Confidence and quiet
reign supreme.
Such is "the strike synopsis" Of the sit
uatlon in the anthracite field as published
In last weeks issue of the Mineworkers'
Journal, the official organ of the United
Mineworkers' Of America The four
tenth week of the strike has closed. and
the managers declare that the strikers ara
more determined than when the strike
was first declared.
1.-THE fact that $4,000 men have re-
manned on strike for that PERIOD" said
w. b. Wilson, secretary-treasurer, with
out a sign Of a break In the ranks Is the
strongest argument that 1 know Of in
favor of the justice of their claims. If
ever a portion of that number had re-
ceived even living wages before the strike.
1t would be next to impossible to keep
them from returning to work.
"While the strikers are being cared for
In the best manner possible. there Is
nothing In the provision made that would
make a man prefer to live in idleness
II 1t was possible to earn living in the
mines"
Mr.. Wilson said there was no fixed rule
for the distribution Of the money and
supplies which are provided by the ma
tional organization. The census bureau
says the average family consists of five
members, and on this basis the miners
organization is caring for $4,000 men,
women and children.
81 don't believe there Is any possible
way to whip the striking miners. unless
it Is to starve them out" Mr.. Wilson
said, land 1 do not see any very grave
danger of that coming to pass"
Large sums are received daily by Will
son for the strikers fund. This Is all
sent to the strike region as rapidly as re-
ceived.
| At Wilkesbarre.

The Fairs Met Instant Death.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The chauffeur of the
automobile in which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
L. Fair were killed, whose name is Brety,
has returned to Paris. In an interview
with the correspondent of the Associated
Press he threw some further light on the
cause of the accident, saying:
when we left Trouville, Mr.. Fair was
coughed frequently on the road and dur
ing the fits of coughing his face was much
congested, evidently producing slight dir
illness. He had Just been coughing when
l found that the tire of one of the hind
wheels was Debated. realized the dan
ger and jumped to my feet, and leaning
forward 1 shouted in Mr.. Fairs ear in
English: Stop quick! Tire no good
Mr.. Fair glanced back, but he did not
reply. Apparently he tried to stop. but
in doing so he must have made the wrong
steering movement, as the machine
swerved across the road and went in a
straight line for a tree.
MRS. Fair, as she saw the direction
the automobile was taking. clasped her
husbands shoulders with her arms and
turned her gaze towards me with a look
which plainly said: we are lost The
next moment came the crash and I was
thrown into a field beside the road and
stunned. When 1 recovered. which did
quickly, limped to the side of my master
and mistress, and with the help of the
t,-t, 80 al,
bodies from the wreck"
