Pueblo, Oct. 31.-As the result Of
what Is said by railroad officials to be
the work Of train wreckers. Santa Fe
Colorado Chicago through train No. O.,
loaded with passengers from Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo. was
wrecked on bridge crossing Apish-
apa creek, thirty-eight miles east OF
Pueblo, and between Fowler and Man

ing. The wreck was caused by wreck
.ers removing three rails on the ap-
proach to the bridge. The train, con-
sisting of an engine, two baggage cars,
a chair car, a day coach. a Pullman
sleeper and private car containing a
party Of New York bankers, with the
exception of the last two cars, was
plunged into the bed of the creek and
lies a mass of wreckage.
The engine left the track where the
rails were removed and turning slight
ly to the right carried the train onto
the pile approach to the bridge and
knocked the bridge into the creek. The
engine lies on Its side.
IN the escaping steam that followed
Engineer John T.. Walker of La Junta
was seriously scalded and Fireman
Bates slightly injured. Passengers in
the coaches were badly shaken up and
many Of them were injured, though
only two are seriously hurt.
The track will not be clear until
night and trains will be sent by way Of
Trinidad. But for the accident of a
hot box on the express car large

this was the plumber upon which the
deperadoes had fixed fhe purpose and

length of sacrificing the lives of $50

rified by the robbers in the hope of Sc

foiled and the swag they sought was
not there.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE REPORT
ON DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS

Washington, d. c., Nov. 3.-The an
nua report of " A. Richards, COM
missioner Of the general land office,
which was made public to-day, says
that during the past year there was a
large decrease in the number of sup
posedly fraudulent land entries over
the preceding year. He attributes their
decrease mainly to an order of the sec
rotary of the interior. dated November
IL, 1902, directing the investigation of
all entries made in the states of Cali
fornia, Oregon, and Washington. I'm
der this order alone 10000 entries have
been suspended and there are now fif-
teen special agents of the land office in
that field ferreting out the fraudulent
entries. Commissioner Richards also
stated that during the year there were
reported 125 unlawful Enclosures of
public land, covering an area of 2,6O5,-
800 acres. Seventy-hine of these en-
closures have been removed, and pro-
ceedings are pending to compel the re-
moval of the remaining number. He
says, however, that the total number
here mentioned is only a fraction of
the Enclosures maintained in violation
of the law. special agents having found
it impossible to give attention to many
others because of the order for a spe-
cial investigation of the entries under
the timber and stone act.
Complaint is made of the order of
'the'aet of March IL. 1902, to facilitate
entries, Referring to this law the
commissioner says:
THE privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused. particular
ly by United States commissioners. who
have been parties to wholesale frauds
in connection with the entries. Aft
davits and entry papers have been
prepared In the names of fictitious
persons, and number of other ways
have been devised to assist parties to
evade compliance with the law
The report makes strong plea for
a larger force of special agents.

good fortune led Express Messenger
Sewell to step back into the baggage,
car sixty seconds before the engine be-
gan to wildly humping and humping
over the ties on the bridge cannot be
imagined, but 1t was this that saved
his life. The belief of the Santa Fe de-
tective department is that the wreck
was not an accident. and was the re-
suit Of deliberate purpose is strongly
supported by w. H. Doland, an expert
machinist recently in the service of the
New York Central, who reached the
pile of wreckage before the detectives,
and demonstrated that only heavy
iron lever could have removed the
spikes. One suspect, who refused to-
give his name, but who was lowering
about without apparent purpose, adj
mitted that he was not passenger on
the train, and was placed under arrest
and sent TO La Junta.

1 Speaking of the forest lieu land Sc
lectlons, the commissioner says there
were 5,504 of them pending the first Of
last July and they involved an approx
innate area of 1,263,136 acres. He re-
commends change In the law permit
ting the exchange of entries pending
within the reservation for unpatented
| land on the outside saying:
| While 1t is considered to be imprac-
ticable to require that only land of like
value shall be taken in exchange for
| land in reserve. 1t might be provided
that timber land should not be selected
in lieu of such land, just as mineral
land is now excepted from such selec-
| tho"
| Mr.. Ricards also recommends the
! transfer of the control of the forest
reserves to the department of agricul.
ture. There are at present 80 reserves.
covering an area of 62,365 ,965 acres.
/ The report continues:
1T is a matter of first Importance
that these reserves thus far established
should be supplemented by such addi-
tional ones as are needed to form a
comprehensive reserve. such as will in
sure full participation to the water and
timber supplies of both the Rocky

yet neither of the two great ranges of
| these regions has sufficient chain of
timber protecting its entire length. nor
has the matter Of reserving as many
sources of water supply as may be
needed in connection with the irriga-
ton movement been fully determined
The report notes a marked increase
in the business over 1909, the total re-
ceipts being sll,l24.423. an increase OF
s4,732.Sl6. This increase over 1902 is
greater, 1t is stated, than the total re-
ceipts for the year 1899. The total
area of public lands appropriated dur
ing the year was 29l. 1S4,299 acres, an
increase of 3,335,764 acres over the
preceding year. About half this area
entered was entered under the home
