BIG SEIZURE OF GAME.
The Game Warden of Minnesota Conhsca-
ted Yesterday 1000 Ducks Killed by
Chicago Pot Hunters.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 2.-Chief Game
Warden Fullerton yesterday confscated
zoo ducks killed In the southern Min
nesota marshes by pot hunters in the
employ Of Chicago firms. The seizure
is the largest the state has ever made.
The ducks were in transit overland
in three immense wagons. which were
making for the Iowa line. From the
statements of the drivers 1t is learned
that 1t was the intention to ship from
some Iowa point to Chicago. The con-
ficated birds include nearly 500 can
vasbacks, the choicest Of game birds,
and the value Of the seized game runs
to nearly $1,000.
The game protection officials allege
that Chicago firms are implicated in
an organized campaign Of violation OF
Minnesota laws. They are alleged to
have in their employ men who do
nothing but shoot for the market on
Minnesota marshes. The state intends
to follow the seizures with the arrest
Of every person directly implicated.

Persons and InjurinG

Chicago, Oct Live persons were
killed and Q score Of others were In
jured in q collision between tho Wis
consin Central limited passenger train,
which leaves hare at SIX o'clock. and
Forty-thiTd avenue street car at
Fifty-second avenue last night The
street car was crowded with passen-
gers returning from the Harlem RAGS
track and every man in the car was
injured. The motorman had received
the signal to cross and had just
reached the center Of the track when
tho passenger train crashed into his
car. None Of the passengers had time
to escape. The blame for the accident
IL laid by Motorman Kilroy upon the
wet rails Of the track. He saw the
danger in time to avoid 1t and applied
the brakes, but the car slid along the
track with locked wheels. The pas
senger train, which was running at
q high rate Of speed. struck the street
car near the center, cutting It squarely
in two. 1t was reduced to splinters
in ON instant, the force of the COLI
sion being such that several Of the In
jured were hurled high in the air and
two Of the killed met their deaths by
striking the ground after being thrown
up from the wreck.
The railroad people contend that NO
blame for the accident can apply to
them, because the danger signals were
properly set and there was no reason
why their train should not proceed
as usual. They say that the train was
not running faster than is customary.
Flowed Through Merry Party.
Philadelphia, Oct. LA merry party,
composed of about dozen persons,
was run down by a passenger train
last night at Sharon Hill, seven miles
south Of this city on the Philadelphia,
Baltimore & Washington railroad, kill
ing 1--WE and injuring three others.
The accident occurred in front OF the
Sharon Hill station while the party
was awaiting for q train. There had
been a family reunion at the Farran
home and several members Of the
Farran family had accompanied the
guests to the station. The Lamokin
accommodation, for which the party
was waiting, usually passes the station
ON the fourth track. This was known
to some of the party, and when the
train was heard coming in the dis
lance nearly every one passed over to
the third or fourth track: Before
anyone could give a warning the &C
commodation train came rapidly down
the third track and plowed into the
group. The engineer tried to stop his
train before 1t struck the party, but
he was unable to do SO until 1t had
run several hundred feet past the sta
ton,
