Golden State Limited Wrecked.

Topeka, March I4.-While run
nning at full speed at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning two Rock Island pas
senger trains, No. A, the "Golden
State Limited" and No. 3, the Fort
Worth express, which left Kansas
City at 10 O'Clock last night, met on
a straight track near Dwight about
forty-five miles west of here. Both
engines were wrecked and the bag
gage and mail car on No. 3 were
partly telescoped. The Golden
State Limited's engineer was killed
and fifteen passengers and train men
were injured.
The trains had meeting orders at
Dwight and, as the wreck occurred a
quarter of mile east of that place,
the engineer on the Golden State
Limited is supposed to have disre=
garded his orders. E NJ. Sumpter
was the conductor on No. "A and

ming fast to make up time. The
fact that the track where the trains
met was straight is believed to ac.
count for the loss of only one life
and the few dangerous injuries. The
engineers had time to greatly slack
en- speed before the trains met.
Owing to the prompt action of the
trainman no fire resulted from tn,
collision and the passengers who
we're imprisoned in the wreck wer'
released within a few minutes. The
track had been cleared at o o'clocl
and traffic was delayed for only
short time.

tract with the Pawnee. county COM

tie taxes, receiving 20 per cent. for his
fee. The taxes were collected, but
