FOURTEEN CRUSHED
TO HORRIBLE DEATH

No member of the train crews were
killed or injured. In the first train
were many Italians and negroes and
these make up most of the dead. The
heavy gravel train had gained such n
momentum that it was impossible to
slacken the speed in time to avoid the
terrible catastrophe, and as the result
those struck were simply cut in twain,
heads are severed from the bodies, arms
and legs are scattered about.
The scene when the dead train ar
rived was one of indescribable confu-
sion. Relations and friends were
screaming and wrlnging their hands
and children were crying. At times it
was almost impossible to prevent the
mourners from grasping the bodies from
the ambulance attendants. A detail Of
20 policemen was sent to the wreck to
preserve order and give aid
When the relief train, filled with
the bodies of the dead and injured,
had proceeded about mile from the
wreck on its return, there was still
panic among the less seriously injured.
Frenzied with pain, one italian jump
ed from the train and rolled down
an embankment. He as followed al.
most instantly by another. 1t required
the combined strength of a dozen men
to check the others from leaping. Four
teen dead bodies are now at the
morgue. One of the injured in the hos
pital is reported diving

CHICAGO, Oct. l7.-Mark Hanna,

devote his best efforts to bring peace in
industrial conditions. He expressed the
opinion that the Civic Federation will
eventually solve all questions, and said

said laboring men had been compelled
to strike, because they were never re-
spected until they showed force.

TWO ROBBED ON
FREIGHT TRAIN

"A repetition of the Petrie railroad
murder of week ago came near being
consumated at Colburn, the junction of
the Great Northern and Spokane Falls
railroads, east of the city, last night,
and today a conference is being held
between county and railroad officials
to catch tho would-be murderer, who is
believed to be railroad man.
James McMahan and James Smith,
laborers, who have been working north
of the city, were the men attacked.
They boarded freight train for Spo-
kane yesterday afternoon and gave 4
member of the freight crew 81 apiece
to haul them into Spokane.
Colburn was reached shortly after
nightfall. McMahan and Smith, who
were in a car, were suddenly suddenly
confronted by a tall man wearing a
mask made out of black handkerchief.
The robber covered them with large
revolver at the same time saying:

Henry Matthias, a wealthy German
farmer of Odessa, was at the city
hall last night with blood in his eye
and a determination that he would
make Officer Tom Lester apologize for
having suspected that he was a hobo.
Matthias has been in town several
days and during his stay made his
headquarters at the Dempsie house,
Main avenue and Stevens street.
Last night someone told Lester.

that a hobo was trying to sell a new
pair of trousers to people in the bar
room Lester went in and questioned
Matthias regarding the trousers.
II bought them at a store down the
street" said Matthias. ''and am trying
to sell them because they are too
large"
Wen go to the store and see,"
said Lester.
At the store Matthias statement
was corroborated.

that time and rushed to the city hall
to see Chief Woydt, whom he ex-

chief expressed his concern in the
matter. and suggested that the city

Charge Drunkenness

Complaint, made out by G. H. Page,
charging Fred Simpson with being an
habitual drunkard, was filed with the
county clerk this afternoon. Simpson
has been a resident OF Spokane county
for more than a year and has wife
and six children.
According to the complaint, he is orr
dinarily "hard working, industrious
man and one of the utmost integrity,
but he is a slave to the drink habit !;
that this complaint is made in the in
terests of the family of said Fred Simp-
son and in the interest of the general
public, and at the request of and with
the full acquiescence of the said Fred
Simpson"
The action is brought under an old
and almost forgotten law which pro-
vides upon conviction of habitual drunk
ness that the court notify every saloon
keeper or dispenser of intoxicants in the
county not to furnish Simpson with
drink on pain of revocation of their Ii
censes. Deputy County Clerk Koontz
states that this is the first case of such
a complaint in Spokane county.

J. s. Duss, erstwhile leader Of an
obscure orchestra in Economy Pa,
recent star in the musical armament
and selfmade king of the baton, was
very wroth yesterday because. for
sooth. his own scholarly features
were not displayed in as many con-
spicuous places on the billboards as
those of the sublime singer who has
delighted the music-loving world for
many years-the peerless Nordica.
Duss fairly foamed in his denunci-
alton of the methods of his manager,
Loudon G. Charlton, and executed a
skirt dance of nervous hostility on
the rear platform of Nordica's car
as he spouted his supreme indigna-
ton.
MY money is backing this BUSH
ness" he said to Press representa-
tive, and I don't see why my paper
is not posted as well as Nordica' s.
over in Butte l have some cousins
who have been watching for the ap-
pearance of my orchestra for several
weeks. They say they didn't see any
pictures of me on the boards. It's an
outrage" 10

preached and asserted that the Duss

One of the threatened men handed over
SO and the other $3.50. A third man
riding in the car escaped by jumping
off.
After the holdup was finished the
highwayman said:
IF you fellows will agree to keep
mum about this III let you ride into
town, but if you open your face, I'll
shoot you and kick you off the train"
Both Smith and McMahan are posi-
tive that the robber was the same man
who collected the 81 fare from them.
Some of the police department are
positive that members of the Northern
Pacific freight crews running out Of
Spokane know more about the Petrie
holdup than has yet been told. Ac-
cording to report it is becoming COM
mon for men who ride on freight trains
to be held up and robbed. The con-
ference today is to devise means Of
stopping the practice.

DEATH
IN A CHURCH
Tragic Suicide Scene In
Cathedral at Lincoln,
Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 17.-Early
this morning while solemn services
were being held in ST. Theresa cathe-
dral the worshippers were startled
by the groans and sobs Of a beautiful
and richly dressed young woman, who
reeled up the aisle in mad despair,
shouting that she had taken carbolic
acid and was dying.
The congregation, in a frenzy of ex-
element and needless of anything
save the agony of the unknown suf-
ferer, stampeded to the altar where
they stood in wild disorder and
mingled their futile means with the
groans of the despairing creature who
was whispering her last broken con-
fession in the ear of the priest, who
held her in his arms.
AS the official Of the church pro-
nounced hasty dissolution the I'M

by her sisters as Miss Pansy Ballard,
